Guns and ammunition

By now, it should be clear where I stand on all issues including weapons in general, war and armies and all things associated with it. But as it happens, one of my favorite albums of all time is called Vapen och ammunition. Guess what that is in English. I'll get you a cookie if you get it right, I'll get you one and I'll eat it myself.

What the issue at hand really happens to be is my lack of effective words to curse with. I don't believe in God either, so all those are just out, I don't find them offensive at all. All that stuff about fucking your mother. Well, that's not offensive either. She didn't become a mother without fucking, so I don't really see what the big deal is. Your own mother probably is a bit offensive though. That's the kind of complication I need. But, incest, that's just so obviously wrong from an evolutionary point of view that's not even worth mentioning.

It's about the same with terms referring to body parts. Aren't the bodies the very things that define us? What can be offensive about that? Example. Dickhead. Aren't most men quite fond of their dicks and in particular their dickheads?

So if the basis of cursing is to be offensive, shouldn't it be personalized? Or are words offensive because they're curse words? You'd probably have to pick one side or the other. But, words also evolve and change, the perfect example is the Swedish word kärring, first it simply meant someone you hold dear, as in darling, and now it means bitch. So how does it happen? And what kind of shift of values can we see in the bigger perspective? The value of women, in this example? I doubt that. Maybe it's revolving motion.

Either way, that wasn't what I was trying to say. (Just try to focus kärring) Maybe, we should try to find out what offends those you know the most. Or write it down on a neat little post it and hand it to new acuquaintances, so they know what to say if they feel the need to make you angry. For me, it'd go something like "Hi, I'm Molly, I'm mostly offended by unnecessary violence and weapons. If you want to offend me say 'bomb you Molly' or 'shoot this Molly' or how about 'Why don't you go join the army?'"
