My mom and i are fighting. She hasnt been this pissed at me since i was 16 and i got etchasketch dust allover the place. Ok that was a joke but this is serious. The otherday we get to talking about the Motorcycle Diaries, a movie i recommended she watch. Now, incase you dont know this my mom, for religious reasons, does not watch rated R movies. I told her this movie was a good rated R movie. They just kinda curse alot but the overall message makes up for it. Well, she said she could only watch part of it until the cussing got too bad. I was so pissed at her. I told her regardless of the rating of this movie it has a better story and message than most G rated movies out there. FUCK!
So she and i proceeded to have an argument about the "f" word. I argued that the "f" word cant hurt you, especially if its in a movie. At first our argument was light hearted, then suddenly she threw the book at me. Seriously, she started talking about the bible and God and Jesus. She said in my defense of the word fuck I was also defending other sins like murder! I love my mom to death, but seriously murder? Murder is wrong whether your christian or atheist, whether you live in a city or the jungle. The "f" word however has varying degrees of wrongness and meanings. Some examples:
To your grandma: "fuck!" =very wrong
to friends: "my grandma's cookies are fucking great" = not wrong at all
What's more is that any word can be a "bad" word if you use it in that context. And word's meanings change over time. Fuck, everything changes over time except apparently the bible. The bible really should have had a clause written in it that said "The core values are (this), (this), and (that) everything else will change over time, the end. love, God. p.s. heaven is fucking great!"
Your mom sounds a bit religious for my taste. Know why your cars were having trouble? Premarital sex. Duh...
Posted by: Megan at July 14, 2005 09:32 AMdon't worry about it. You are obviously a well adjusted open minded human being who knows the difference between rigt and wrong. The bible shouldn't be taken word for word, or nobody would be considered a good person or make it into heaven. I agree with you 100 fucking percent.
Posted by: Jeremy b. at July 14, 2005 08:01 PMAlso everything was in a different language during the bible so fuck actually isnt even a bad word or anything.. we place arbitrary rules and such on random words for no fucking reason. It doesnt make any sense lets all decide that the word yellow is offsive and every time your mom says it tell her that in your religion using that word makes you go to hell.... sounds fun to me, but what do i know my feet hurt.
Posted by: dan at July 15, 2005 03:09 PMi'm ashamed of you nicole for using the "f" word and then disrespecting your mother like you did. horrible. i never swear, and never show the woman who gave birth to me and treated me tenderly anything but the utmost respect, and neither should you. hehe. go buffs!!
