Cuss Words - If you don't like them, don't read this

You know how it's inappropriate to say certain words? And some words are worse than others. When I was really young I couldn't even say "This sucks!" Now I'm afraid to cuss in front of my parents. I can't say words like "shit" "fuck" "damnit" or even words like "asshole" or "bitch." Then there's the really bad words like "cunt" that hardly anyone says. I've heard of "C U Next Tuesday" to stand in for "cunt" but they mean "cunt" so why not just say it? Why are some words worse than others? In reality, it's a word. If someone called me a "cunt" or a "bitch" it really doesn't do me any harm. It's just a bunch of letters put together that someone a long time ago decided was going to mean something bad. And now people get offended when you hear a cuss word. Sometimes, people use them to offend. "You're such a bitch" Sometimes people use them just to make a point that things are not all well. "This fucking sucks." That way we understand their anger better. But in reality, it's just another word that usually expresses anger. So why are people afraid to hear them? Whether someone calls you a "bitch" or a "really bad person" they mean the same thing - they don't like you very much. It doesn't really matter how they say it. And it doesn't even matter what they think. Certain words shouldn't be prohibited... it's just a word. It shouldn't cause harm. In the end it's just a bunch of letters put together, right?
