LoL I really can't see the difference between butt and ass. You lot and your obsession with curse words. They mean the same fucking thing why make one bad and the other ok? and while I'm at it, off the top of my head here's a few more questions:
Who made the decision on which words were ok and which weren't; Fair enough using the lords name in vain is banned by the bible but what about all the other ones?
Was there some great assembly where they decided which words were good and which were bad?
Did they flip a coin to make the decision or did various people plead the case for different words?
If so were the commitee in charge of arguing the case for the word 'cunt' really ugly?
Isn't 'making love' a little too girly to be used by men outside of the bedroom?
Isn't 'making love' a little too girly to be used by men inside of the bedroom?
Is there any word more flexible than fuck in the whole english language? Noun, verb adjective it's got it all.
If it's called English (From Angland or land of the Angles) how come all the anglo-saxon words are swear words?
As the anglo saxon words are shorter and less poncy, can't we make them the good words and make the french ones rude?
Are you aware that 'ass' is a donkey while arse it the thing you take with you everywhere to sit on?
If not does that mean that when Mary and Joseph made the trek to nazareth to get registered Mary sat on the floor and Joseph draged her?
If you are going to the bathroom to urinate, does that mean you are going to pee in the tub or are you actually going to the toilet?
If you have constipation does that mean you are no longer eligible to use the rest room?
If it's a rest room does it have reclining toilets?
Were some of the words decided as being bad just made bad becasue whoever made the decision wasn't getting any of them?
Does it make sense that even mild (whatever that means) cuss words get beeped out and yet adverts for vaginal thrush relief cream are freely shown on daytime television?
If phrases are bleeped out becasue they offend, why isn't saying (or even worse buying) 'non alchoholic beer' and imprisonable offence?
Answers on a post card please

Here in the US, 'cunt' is a showstopper. Say it in a room with women, and there's about 5 seconds of dead silence before the violence erupts. It's like the way all the tide suddenly goes out just before a tsunami hits.
When it comes right down to it, the US is made up of groups who left their home because they felt oppressed....and promptly began oppressing the hell out each other as soon as they got here. You never know which word is OK anymore.
A person like Mini-Me was once called a midget, then that was bad, we switched to dwarfs, then somehow that became bad, now they prefer the term 'little people'. It will probably change any day now so, fuck it, I'm gonna just call them 'Gnomes' and hope I'm right!

The funny thing is in the 17th/18th century cunt or cunny were common use, there definately wasn't a stigma to it then. I'm pretty sure the people who decided that it wasn't acceptable are the same asshats that decided it was a good idea to design 7 different types of knife and fork to confuse people at dinner parties. Sure, you want a clean set of cutlery for each course,that makes sense but do you really need a specially shaped knife for eating fish?
It's done for the same reason too; snobbery. Why have six different types of cutlery? To prove you can afford them. Why make anglo-saxon swear words unforgivable and french/latinate swear words innoccuous? Because the lower class population of England used anglo-saxon words while the aristocracy descended from the normans used largely french derrived vocab. It's bullshit of the worst kind.
I just hate people getting offended by stuff without thinking. If you are gonna get offended at least let it be for an idea or a concept you find unacceptable and not just as a knee jerk reaction based on a nonsensical, dogmatic division of the language based on nothing more than snobbery or habit.
And yeah you are right about the derranged shifting of the goal posts in terms of what is or is not politically correct. I'm holding out for when it's ok to call the vertically challenged "shortarses" again...
