Censorship

So my parents aren't too happy about me using profanity in my Taiwan blog. My dad even sent me an email about it, to which I replied "What's so bad about these "bad" words anyways?"

To which he replied a long email which didn't quite answer the question..but anyways.

I feel like alot of the time, we're just being dragged around by society's expectations/customs that when you think about them, don't really have any rational reason behind them. Such as the taboo on four-letter words.

Why are these words "bad"? They express everyday activities/objects. Vaginas, bowel movements, having sex. These words aren't bad by nature--it's because society represses these things that they make words that don't describe them in either artistic or scientific terms taboo.

I'm not arguing for racial slurs--these words have a derogatory history behind them, with intent to insult/harm/degrade/oppress.

But what the fuck, shitting and cunts are everywhere.
