A Word is only a Word

I agree that words are only words. I do think there are inappropriate times to use them. It's only that others know what they represent that makes them offensive. A lot of people also only use profanity, not to get a point across, but because they feel it is some kind of power word or a cool thing because others use bad language. I don't care if someone uses profanity on occasion. It's when it becomes a factor in every sentence, every other word, and begins replacing other words. This is done quite often now and it makes no sense. I am an English major as well so that could be part of it. If people spent more time learning real vocabulary words maybe our nation's student test scores would be higher.

I just want to add that it's remarkable that anyone can come as more pretentious than both Bono and Thom Yorke combined (no flames, I'm a fan of both their bands) and yet have nothing to say. Scott Stapp, we're looking at you, but there ain't much to see. Creed is nothing but a forth-rate conglomeration of Led Zepplin and Pearl Jam.

yeah

I see scott stapp as a person who could never be in the shoes of Eddy Vedder...
or never will..
They neither have as much tallent as pearl jam and there song writing.. just plain sucks..
I agree with bassable
I dont think that being a christrian.. you should use that word anyway.. although.. i dont see some 4 letter words as being bad in SOME situations. (I think numetal bands go overboard with this one)
Im not the type of person who trys to put on an act for people.. i am a christrian. . I do use language sometime.. Im not perfect by anymeans.. I know im a hypacrite sometimes(EVERYONE IS)
I dont clame to be anything im not.. I dont read the bible and i dont clame to be holier than this person..
The only reason I really goto church is to hear the music which i like (progressive rock type stuff.. bass solos.. guitar solos a little harder than the brooklyn tab and hillsongs stuff) its not like slayer or anything but its far from a normal southern babtist church..
okay back on topic.. sorry i ramble..
I think creed should just retire.. They have enough money andi dont wanna hear about em anymore.. the end

Mr. Curley...

I agree. When I wrote SOME situations I meant that we should not really ostracize a person for some profanity and God will not judge us by it. Technically, the Bible says the Lord's name in vain. It makes no mention of other words. I still try not to use it and slip only occasionally. God has given me help in this area! Anyway, Creed tries to pass off some image and it just falls under my corny category.
