Profanity why?

Okay. If you want something physical, thoughts are waves of polarization of potassium and sodium ions. So I should send you a few charged batteries. Maybe worth a penny or two's worth of electricity, if I think about values all week.

Your confusing the PROCESS with the THOUGHT

Lets say you had magical powers

You could look through the skull and watch the electrons flow along the nerve axions and the chemical reactions across the synapses

You tell the person

"I can see your brain thinking"

The person ask you

"WHAT am I thinking?"

That's why I ask you to tag the THOUGHTS

I have a shitty hand
against
I need a shit

so I can tell them apart

Which you appear to be able to do with your magic power of watching the electrons and chemical reactions

I don't

But if you are suggesting that face or body tells are THOUGHTS you are mistaken

They are the results of electrical / chemical responses

The THOUGHT could be

I have a shitty hand

or

I need a shit

Your pick

And your welcome to collect both of those thoughts

Tag which is which and send them to me

Many people are rude, childish & lazy online & off. But 1 person's profanity is another's normal language.
Being offended or disturbed by it seems very silly to me. Very many, I suspect most, people talk 1 way in 1 time & place yet talk another way in others. Even as a child, I saw that there is no significant difference between darn it, dog gone it & damn it. Many parents use profanity around their children then stupidly punish the children for imitating them. I always thought bastard was used badly because it usually involved unfair prejudice & ill treatment of innocents. But it was a word with a definite meaning & was not considered profanity until so many people used it to refer to those were not bastards & it became another stupid insult.
Most of profanity comes from things people do not want to talk about or hear about, stupid religious taboos & words the upper class decided were fit only for servants & pheasants. They mostly change over time. Your great great grandchildren probably will feel offended by words you think are OK & vice versa.
I am writing a book on language & 1 section will be titled No Bad Words.

Damn your Hyde! A pox on your house.
I left out 1 of the sources of profanity. Curses. That is why they were called curse words.

Some people (and I don't say all) on the Internet are not very nice.

In another forum some poster offended me and said that I am mentally challenged which I think is kind of true. I am not very smart and this is a fact.

In yet another forum another poster offended me by calling me ugly (more precisely he said that I can't hate white women just because I'm ugly) which I think is kind of true.

And in Google Groups another poster said that he will go medieval on me just because I don't agree with Western Capitalist economic ideology which is the most dominant political and economic ideology in the world.

You kinda' lost me.

I always liked the phrase: "Those who are my equal or above me don't insult me. Those who are below me, can't insult me."
Think about it. You will see the truth in that.

If someone says something true about me, how can I be significantly disturbed. The only exception that comes to mind presently is betrayal by a trusted friend. If someone says something false about me, it isn't actually saying anything about me. I usually cannot be upset over someone's false image of me. Sometimes the stupidity can be somewhat frustrating but I mainly just pity them, knowing it is something wrong in them which causes them to see or claim to see something wrong in me.

Shoot! I meant to reply to pluto2.

So, you do value real freedom. At least double postage.
 
Many people on the Internet are very abusive to me for no reason.

In some forum some guy called me ugly which really crushed me because being told that you're ugly if you're truly ugly can be really soul-crushing.

I was also called nerdy and a self-obsessed stalker in some other forum too, a forum which was shut down by the way.

It amazes me how some people on the Internet can be so mean and abusive for no reason.

It's called e-thuggery... people are emboldened by the concept of anonymity, so they feel empowered to say or do things to others they would never have the backbone to do face to face.

I think you have a skewed self-image and identity. You have probably internalized some false or artificial narrative you dont fit exactly, so deem yourself inferior and devaluing your own unique/individual traits. Also nerd is not an insult, it is only if you believe it too. You say you are ugly and dumb but ascertain this realistically. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder and there are lots of people who could be considered ugly that are also considered attractive in and besides the general public (hollywood). Be completely honest with yourself when viewing people physically and notice all the varied differences and how most dont fit a version of traditional modelesque. Why would you want to ne anyone but yourself. Everyone is a beautiful metaphor, learn what is your style and what makes you, you and there will be people who likwise will click with you. Also beauty standards change just like trends. Even hollywood is filled with them. As for smarts, the world is full of dumb people. So why are you so down on yourself and beat yourself up? Look at all the dumb and ugly or not their cup of tea (to someone's opinion) people around you with their head up and proud of themselves anyways. So why are you any less entitled to?

Ok, i was laying that on a little thick. :D
I dont actually believe everyone is beautiful but its true to someone you will be. Its the game of diversity. That part is sincere. Thats why there are so many flavors of ice cream to choose from.

When someone has an undeveloped identity, they tend to look to others for validation and thats a burden to others besides it can mislead who you are. Being rejected can be a compliment or the best for you, especially personally as it frees you to find your own way instead of conforming to another's values, opinions and views. Do you want to be a shadow? You need to find out for yourself what you believe and think and then OWN it, regardless what others opinions of you are. Be authentic to yourself because even if others accept you, if its not the real you, its worthless. Of course, who you are doesnt remain fixed and you can change.

You have to like yourself first but you have to be a friend to yourself first and work from there to get there.

No one is obligated to accept or approve of you and vice versa. But everyone deserves basic humanity.
