There are many things in the world that I don’t understand. I don’t understand people’s craving for religion and mythology. I don’t understand the appeal of the USA. I don’t understand the appeal of techno music. I don’t even understand the appeal of the taste of onions, or why people choose to be vegetarians.

But there are a few things that I just don’t get, and there appears to be no reason for those things. I just don’t get why the word fuck is any worse than the word orange. I don’t see why the word shit is more profane than the word love.

And what is wrong with a little harsh language and nude bodies on television, anyways? Are there little girls who would immediately become lesbians, should they see a breast on televisions? Are there little boys so vulnerable that they would immediately become homosexuals if they saw a naked penis on television?

I’m sorry, but I just don’t fucking get it. Why are we so afraid of our own bodies and our own language? Why is sex even so taboo, anyways? It is perfectly natural.

Are you afraid that kids will imitate what they see on television? The thing is, sooner or later they will see people have sex, either via the Internet, in their parents bedroom or on TV late at night. It is inevitable, and it shouldn’t be so bad or wrong.

And words, oh my… What the hell is wrong with the words bitch, fuck, cunt, twat, shit, etc.? How are they bad? The society universally accepts them as wrong, and there’s just no reason to.

If you think you can provide a carefully reasoned argument, why showing breasts or genitalia on television is wrong, or why profanity is bad, leave a comment below.

…because I sure as hell can’t.
