I found this saved as a draft. I think I posted it and then removed it. I don't remember why.
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146
Why does the word "fuck" generate so much anger? Why is it bleeped out on TV? i can understand "nigger" seeming offensive or "parayan", given the long history of discrimination, but why "fuck"? Say it to yourself people - fuck me, fuck you, fuck the world, fuck off... how is it any worse than go hang, go to hell, piss off, jump off a cliff, or anything else that people so regularly come up with to yell at others??
Yesterday on a rerun of Inside the Actors Studio, Drew Barrymore said that her favorite curse word was bleep. And then she tried it out a few times - bleep bleep bleep bleep. She might have meant fuck. James Lipton is weird. Like an alien behaving how he was told most people behave. Maybe not so weird.
What is your favorite curse?

'Dumbass' is my fav, not particularly offensive but has a nice ring to it.
