How should one interpret foul language?

Hello all.You are absolutely right in thinking that cursing is inappropriate.It is used by savages who lack the ability to speak eloquently.Your aesthetics-influenced dislike of hearing it shows a general propensity to knowledge, and proper conduct.It is also an immoral act as it shows not the action of a thoughtful human being, but of a thoughtless dolt.Thank you,

The words of an individual reflect the thoughts of that person. If they cannot form sentences and speak correctly than there is no reason for them to speak.In many cases all we have are the words of individuals, that is what we must base our judgments on. We can't ignore it, we must tell them to please spend their time educating themselves... Their argument/opinion is most likely irrelevant if there are any ideas involved.Edited by susan8800, : No reason given.

You should try to refrain from using foul language."Speak with soundness of speech" (simplified)

Your interactions with others should not include your favorite little phrase. Self Control, Self Control.

Yes I am a Catholic. I said the following.Because we are human beings and have the ability to think, we should:1. Practice self-control; Do not indulge in pleasure for the sake of pleasure, act according to reasoned principles. (Like the ten commandments)2. Speak with a purpose and do not use foul language, as it is a sure sign of a person who cares not of their own education and ability to convey ideas.All humans should respect this, they are humans and not animal.

The words that you use showed to those who read the post that you had little respect for learning how to use the English language to convey ideas as well as possible. It also showed a lack of self control and discipline.So, it in fact does not at all depend on context. The usage of your ability to communicate as a human being was largely ignored and abused.

I wanted to tell you that I am an atheist, so your stereotype couldn't allow you to not actually think about my writing. Maybe I should have deceived you. That is a mistake on my part.There is no "or else".Well there is, but the main thing is that you learn how to act as a human being according to the virtue that you have the ability to communicate while using self control.I used not my religion to tell you the truth: "as it is a sure sign of a person who cares not of their own education and ability to convey ideas."I used my respect for knowledge. Academia maybe...The "or else" is just:
Or else you have hurt yourself by not standing by the principles of an educated person who yearns for and uses knowledge/education.

Foul: disgusting to the senses by reason or decay, turpitude, filthiness, hateful, etc... base, vicious, scurrilousFoul-mouthed: given to filthy or abusive speechEdited by susan8800, : No reason given.

Yes, look at my last response to tudwell, the webster's dictionary definitions.You have abused your own humanity.A sad but true thought.

I find no humor in trying to live as well as I can. I have a strong feeling that I will be judged when I die.I find no humor in trying to be flawless. I find that this is a large purpose of living. I try to be Christlike, a little Christ. A Christian.

Those humans who use and study the English Language have supplied the general public with Webster's Dictionaries.It is foul, a slang word, UNLESS it is used with seriousness by one who refers to its actual meaning. A female dog... I have heard it used correctly before and with purpose, and self control, and it deserves respect.The f-word is not in my dictionary because it has no purpose being part of the communication of human beings. I could look up the other notorious abuses of the English language, but it seems that it has been demonstrated that a human should not use foul language by now...Most foul language is considered by those who know and study the English language as not being part of language at all. Although newer dictionaries may have the words in them.

Refer to my reply to tudwell, it is well thought out and shows accurate reasoning. There is only one meaning to the word, the foul usage of the word is an abuse of one's humanity.Edited by susan8800, : No reason given.

Please read the real content of my post.If you understand that what I said was right, then a response is, of course, unnecessary. I don't see any connection. I could be just a Christian, any denomination really. Besides maybe Mormon.I could also have been simply an individual who respects my own humanity.I could have also been familiar with the writings of a philosopher Immanuel Kant, as he wrote extensively on morality, and how to live properly as a human being.Your stereotype was off the mark.

All humans should strive to live rightly.Your connection to Catholicism is not real.

As it says : "sometimes used as a generalized term of abuse."Funny, it matches precisely with the definitions that I provided for the words foul and foul-mouthed.Foul language is an abuse of communication and is therefore an abuse of one's humanity.Sorry, there is no way around it.
