a.) yes. i seek to shock and offend those people. b.) “numb the readers”–bullshit. phrases like that just happen and they end up on the computer screen without much effort. call it experimentation. it’s fun. i say go with it. everything is clich?d eventually babe–even the shocking. i’ve seen enough porn to at least recognize that. was that was she was getting at?
oh, and btw.. fuck ’em.. if they don’t like what you have to say, they certainly don’t have to read it. being a potty mouth is part of my life. people either get used to it or they don’t. I certainly don’t swear for shock value or anything, I swear b/c it’s the first thing that comes to mind, and dammit, I like it! 😛

while i don’t disagree with most everyone and i think the writer who was bothered by the donkey balls was overreacting, there is truth to the “numbing” argument. think about it. “fuck” carries a lot more weight coming from someone who never curses than from someone who does it all the time. if you say the crudest things you can think of all the time, what do you say when you hit your thumb with a hammer or find out that your spouse ran off with your hairdresser?

Well, then you say “stupid fucking piece of shit asshole cunt!” of course.
(My boyfriend even shushes me when I say “Christ!” out loud in public instead of “motherfucker”, so what can you do.)
Say what you have to say, and speak from your heart. If that includes those words, so be it.
Send’em to my site and I’ll give them a fucking heart attack.
She seems like the sort of person that I would go out of my way to offend. I have a good time with the prudish.
