When languages loses its subtlety, much is lost indeed.
The paradox is that what you forbid, you will have to live with.
The TOP TEN industries are quite the same as the Ten Top Commandments.
Each time the NOT has backfired, and put whatever was forbidden at the pivot of what our culture is doing.
In the same way, the forbidding of 'foul' language, has backfired and turned it into a meaningless outspoken habit.
As someone once told me, the New York Alphabet is spelled: "Fuckin'-A, Fuckin'-B, ... ".
Not only does our culture lack words for sex, it also uses words that have no basis in sex to describe sex, and now uses sexual words so that they loose all their meaning.
With them, so does sex.
If our language become rude and crude, how can we talk about sex, but in crude rude terms?
Where is the poetry?
Where is the love an appreciation, the subtlety and sensitivity? The meaning?
