Why Is It Wrong To "Cuss"?

Profanity is often referred to as mature language. Yet I've heard children use these words. Are these kids more mature than their peers? Hardly. It is immature language because:

--cussers don't care if they bother people
(in this, they are on a level with people who pass gas, loudly chew gum, or burp in public),

--cussers don't have the vocabulary to express themselves properly, or they're too lazy to try,

--cussers usually don't even use profane words according to their definitions, and

--cussers often trivialize and disrespect the names and the titles of the awesome and wonderful Lord of Lords.

I don't misuse the names of your loved ones; please don't do so to the one I love more than anyone else.

The Legacy of Charles Darwin

From Darwin's The Descent of Man:
"With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to the small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed."

Thus Darwin personally inspired Friedrich "Super-Man" Nietzsche, Adolf "Final Solution" Hitler, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, and a generation of lesser-know racists.
