"Bad" Words

Many people say that words like "darn", "heck", "shoot", and "gosh" are bad words. Well are they? Why do we use these words? To release anger in a word that way we don't scream at a person or hurt some one's feelings. Are these words habitual? Yes, as soon as you stub your toe it's, "darn it". When you cut your finger with a knife because you were careless, "shoot". Immediate reactions, they just come out, you don't have time to think about them. Okay so how is that wrong? Do you ever have curse words floating around in your mind? Especially after working a long day with people who use bad language more than they use good? Then you have to stop yourself from slipping and saying them? That is why these substitutes aren't good, they are the one word that has free pass from your mouth and once the real curse words get in your head it won't be long before they start coming out your mouth. I slipped the other day when I spilled gas on my hand while filling the lawn mower, I've decided to stop saying "shoot".

well i actually never use those words...probably because I'm never around people who do. But I don't really know where to draw the line between actual "bad" words and "good" words. So if I accidentally hurt myself, or something like that, all I say is "aw man!" lol =)

Yeah, I don't think all words that you say when you're hurt, etc. are bad. Rats, I don't think is bad. Those ones that are really close to the bad ones like gosh and shoot, well that's a different story.
Yeah, that's the nice thing about being homeschooled you don't usually hear so much of the bad language that you would hear if you went to school. =D

heh, i always yell at people for saying heck or darn or gosh or something like that, but i say crap alot, which i prolly shouldn't, but i know what you mean about hearing ppl say stuff all day, and it getting stuck in your head, cuz i do at work, and the other day i sliped up too.

Some words aren't bad to say, I think, but if we do say them it is a bad testimony to the world.

Not yet, probably the end of this School year. I may take the ACT instead.
