La Vérité Fermée by Lacroix Despheres

I know some people will feel that I am overreacting about a 'small' matter, but I absolutely detest being looked down upon. I am most definitley not a child, no matter how you try to evade and protect your warped ideals by brushing me off with a 'You're not old enough to understand.' Most children will wonder about it and either a) nag at you or b) keep quiet about it. As I am not a child, I'm going to smear your honour online. Of course, I won't say who EXACTLY you are, but there are bound to be people who know. You see? The vindictiveness of adulthood.

I think its really disgusting to judge the maturity of a person by how much they can 'take' crude jokes, vulgarities, stereotypes, and references to sex. One word: RIDICULOUS. No, I'm not performing some Harry potter spell. (HAHA.) Rather, I think people who feel that those with greater 'immunity' to crude language and behaviour are preposterous. Call me a prude if you must, but I feel that there is no need for these forms of speech. Firstly, there are many many forms of humour, not inclusive of a sexual innuendo. You have black humour, satire, hyperbole, pun, irony, parody, sarcasm, paradox... There are way more. I'm just listing, off-hand, the few that Mr Whitby managed to smack into my thick skull over the course of 2 years in his Literature class. So there is no need for crudeness to be funny. Secondly, vulgarities are the vocabulary of the uncivilised and miseducated. you may say that its a means of fostering community bonding through slang, but I'm sure you can conduct such dialogues with minimal references to genitals and sex. Of course, I understand that sex is a common overarching theme across all class, culture and ages, but seriously? I'd be very disappointed if sex was the only thing various cultures had in common. Thus, if possible, I abstain from vulgarities and stick to seafood. There is no need to use repeated fricatives in every sentence. Its not like its a pre-school speech and drama practice session. I'm sure there are more words in any language to get your point across. Its just that you've yet to learn it. NUMBSKULL.

Maturity by vulgarity usage? Pft. I can't be bothered. Call me an elite or a spoilt brat if you wish, but I'm all for using mutlisyllabic words and ample descriptives. I'm not going to sink to the level of retards only to be clobbered by their experience. I'll sit here on my lofty perch and laugh at the peons who can't construct a simple grammatically coherent sentence. Words and books do not discriminate. Only people do. The words are there. Use it. It'd be a sad day indeed should we have to combine meanings to a common sound/word on a wide-scale. Linguistically, we'd all be dead.

Ahhh. I feel so much better after saying all these. Too bad you won't understand everything. A free online dictionary that is of repute is available at www.merriam-webster.com. Please do learn something today.
