ive met a few people(mainly faggots) who get all upset if some one calls them a bad name, and for some reason it annoys me lol.

is there anything anybody can say to you to actually offend or hurt you.

Just feel amazed there are a few people left with the modesty and brainpower not to swear blindly at every opportunity. Words do mean something, just because you're hardened to their over-use doesnt mean you should feel sorry to the people who know their meaning.

aaaaaaaaa i see your one of those people?

who thinks because i (we) sware that were less intelligent?

Not setting a good example are you? :-:P

I swear abit, mostly unnecessary, and anyone who gives a shit is more than welcome to walk away :)

Edit: And I don't get people get upset because you call them a *generic swear word* but obviously, I don't condone people who are just twats, (i.e. circumstantial digs - like because their mums dead or something) I would feel for someone who recieved shit like that, but not the odd 'swear' word.

It depends.......

If say one of your parents died of a long illness (god forbid) and someone came up to you and said ''at least i've got two living parents'' I'd be pretty offended/incarserated after the following bludgoning of said knob.

Aye, that sort of thing needs a good kicking at the end to the person who said it.

I think daves on about if people call you a twat or a fanny, doesnt really effect me since ive sworn all my life really because of the people ive grown up with.

People at work call me a head case and a psycho all the time, doesnt really bother me. the thing is, words are just words.

Not necessarily less intelligent, more less imaginative. It doesnt take a volley of cusses to describe every situtation.

I have a problem with people swearing at me, if I've done something wrong/bad/etc, because IMO that make the person no better than me.

I don't have a problem being called a twat/retard/etc by someone if it's a joke and I know the person saying it, even if I knew it was a joke, from someone I wasn't familiar with, I'd be pretty offended. Well I say offended, I'd be annoyed they'd just come out with it, directed at someone they don't really know much about. I'd be equally annoyed if I saw someone calling one of my mates a twat/retard/etc, if they didn't really know my friend.

I don't mind people swearing at themselves, so long as they keep it to themselves, not just proclaim "f**k!" in the middle of Tesco Express or something, that makes me think it's just to show off. Nor do I do I mind it for use to create emphasis on web forums, because past italics, there's no way else, in my opinion, to show exactly how annoyed you are.

Never be suprised when some-one is offended by something, jsut because you arn't, there's no reson why they wouldn't be.

If somebody just called me a 'f**king nonse' then I wouldn't hesitate to return the compliment. If you dont get offended when some randomer calls you a willy or something, then theres something wrong with you, either your a pansy or you have low self esteem and actually agree with them.

I know what you mean there, but if people call me a twat i tell them "no, im a right ©unt actually"

usually shuts them up

just random name calling doesn't offend me.

but if it's personal, like something that only really applies to me it can hurt sometimes.

nothing i'd get worked up over though, i'd just walk on and keep my mouth shut.

if it was at a friend i was with though, then i'd say something.
