People who curse excessively do so because their vocabularies are underdeveloped and have no clue what else to say. Curse when you want to, just don't act like an idiot
Thank you for your time
That's ****ing bullshit. Curse words are just as much a part of the language as any other words. Even if you curse excessively it doesn't ean you don't have a decent vocabulary.
Re: Re: Profanity and manners, just as annoying as political correctness.

*nods* Agreed. I can't help but say 'please' or 'thank you.' I was raised to be polite, and I'm glad I was. Bad mannered people annoy me...haha. My ex boyfriend had no manners at all. If I bought him something, I'd just stand there, waiting for him to say thank you...but he'd never say it o.o it drove me nuts....it felt like he didn't appreciate what I bought him.
Originally posted by RouletteWoah, waiting for a thankyou? o.O Felt like he didn't apreciate you? If he liked it, and was happy for it, of course he appreciated it. Someone who agrees with me on this would see that as proof of manners being a way of controlling people's behaviour.

Originally posted by LanaIt's not that, it's people making you be polite that's annoying. Please doesn't even mean anything, why say it?
I can't understand how someone could think that being polite is annoying.I'd rather be considered too polite than rude and ungrateful.

That's the thing though...he never really gave me any indication that he liked what I gave him O.O so I was always confused.
Controlling? O.O Hooooold on a second...we're talking about saying 'thank you.' Since when is it hard to say that? o.o I didn't expect him to throw flowers at me in appreciation or something crazy like that...I just wanted a simple thankyou so I would know that he liked his gift/s. Saying it won't kill you o.o
I never pressured him to say thank you...all I'm saying is that it's an easy thing to say, yet people still don't say it.

Oh I knew it another manipulating controlling chick 😛
Please, asking a guy to say thanks why don't you go ahead and put a leash on him as well 😆

Originally posted by lord xyzI don't know about England or Germany, but when people curse excessively in America, about 8/10 times it's because they're an idiot

you put the leash of stupidity on yourself by acting like saying "thank you" to a woman, or anyone for that matter, for getting you a gift is demeaning, or 'difficult' in your case
