“”you just enjoy that judgemental bubble.””
It’s gotten me well into my late 80’s and I don’t intend to change.. I know what is right and I know what is wrong - sad that you string words together beautifully but lack the talent to know the difference. Guess it depends on how one was raised.
I lost my husband two years ago after nursing him through several years of bad health and never felt the need to resort to gutter language in spite of differences of opinion about his care and his final days with hospice and misinformation from volunteers at the National Cemetery where he was to be buried.
If you haven’t known anyone who can control the words they speak when under pressure, then you’re associating with the wrong kind of people.
So I think we can see what the issue is. You’re in your late eighties, you say, so you were born before World War 2, back when people rarely used such language. You probably never served in the military or lived in circumstances in which people speak that way casually, without anger, without even strong negative meaning. It’s a mild intensifier for people who talk this way routinely. If they grow up surrounded by this language they don’t see it as bad or unchristian or even unusual; at twelve they have probably never been exposed to the idea that speech of that kind is not lovely. You’re all shocked and censorious but you don’t understand that millions of people today hear nothing else. And if this child was surrounded by thoughtless unChristian people, how do you expect her to know how to govern her speech? Really, if you are a Christian, it would be better for you to pray for her to come to know Jesus than to spend time online carping at others about what you view as their sins.
