Warning! Large use of profanity within this article!

---

One of my greatest pet peeve(s) is the over use of mock profanity or an extreme fear of bad words. Now I don’t mean you should be dropping the F-bomb in front of six year-olds; But I’m not apposed to saying “hell” or “damn” in front of them either, (within the correct context!)

When directed towards someone.

Now, profanity, cursing, swearing, so-on and so-forth, in my opinion are almost totally benign when not directed towards person(s).
It is rude to tell somebody to “Go to hell” or "[May] God damn you". Because you are openly wishing awful suffering upon them. But then, clean profanity isn’t any better; I doubt this ever happens but somebody yelling “Gosh darn you to heck!”, technically there is no profanity in the sentence but anybody with a knowledge of English can understand the intent, which is the exact same intent as “God damn you to hell”. So the open wish of harm/suffering is still conveyed within that statement with or without the use of contemporary profanity; Thus clean profanity can just be as hurtful as regular profanity.

Hello and welcome! This is my new blog.

I’ve been wanting to get into blogging for a good while but I haven’t had a good site to put my writings. I originally wanted to create my own site via PHP, having it as a sub-directory on my main webpage (example: librelife.org/blog).
But I have decided to use HUGO, (which I used to use for my whole website back before I made my own with PHP). I personally don’t like how restrictive using HUGO my whole website feels, but it’s great for a blog site.
