Kids and Bitches

[S-wo]

Before I begin I want to say I do not want arguments in this thread like all the others so that I will have to close it down.

How has the word kid grown to be used to much today, that we're referring to our children as kids. You may or may not know, but the word kid means baby goat, so why are we calling our children baby goats, it doesn't make since!? I am offended when someone calls me a kid because I am in no relation to a goat. The word bitch means female dog , but it is mainly known to be an insult, sometimes women use it casually to greet each other, but the point remains that they treat Bitch as a curse word and kid not when thet both are referring people as animals. In my opinion they should unban bitch and ban kid. Mybe it's the way the words sound to make them banned rather than the meaning, but I don't judge a word by how it sounds, but by the meaning., and my case stands if bitch is considered profanity, then kid should be too!

Heres how I see it. Fvck is a word and only a word. It has many meanings and is considered inappropriate. It is still a word and only a word. black person is a word used to put down black people. Now if a black guy says black person its ok, but if a white man says it he is a racist. It is still just a word. Shit is just another way of sayin poop. Why is it that this one is forbidden? People worry to much about the meaning of words. Most parents try to teach their children that those words are bad. I can offend people without usin these words. Censoring just adds to the problem. Because you arent supposed to use these words people wanna push their luck with them. Tellin people not to say it helps them remember it. If people think these words are so bad the only way to destroy their so-called “badness” is to allow it. In order to get rid of a word is to destroy its meaning. To destroy its meaning is to make it okay to use. Words arent the problem, peoples intentions are the problem.

I believe that the only curse word is damn, because it means to condemn to hell. While shit, and f**k aren't even real words, look them up, you can't find them. Bitch and hell, well with hell it only depends on how you use it, like go to hell, or saying damn, is the same as saying go to hell.

Yeh this makes sence so far. I would say that if I cant say shit why can I still say crap, poop, or dump? Same goes for fuck. Why can I still say screw, sex, and the many others. Pretty much we as a people decided to make certain words inappropriate and designed specially for insulting. The words they picked happened to be donkey, poop, damn, hell kinda, and you know the rest.

[bloodwolf]

Being called a kid hurts my feelings. Halfling, short-arse, midget, dwarf, little dude and half-pint are all fine. But kid? How dare you!
