why do people get offended?

[nerve]

I used to be one of them, and I picked it up from my family no doubt. hearing "fuck" made me very, very uncomfortable. being around anyone whose sentences were peppered with obscinities put me in a dark place, made me squirm. like there is so much evil in the world. but nothing compared to "goddamn" or "jesus christ" because that was taking the Lord's name in vain, and was pretty much the worst thing that could come out of one's mouth. why? that suffering was unecessary. it is still unecessary. instead of getting bent out of shape over people using things like "fuck" and "shit" and "bitch" in conversation, let's get offended at things like child molesters/rapists and people who torture other people or animals, and poor education. why waste our time and energy recoiling in horror at the word "fuck", whenever we hear it, even if it was said in good humour? why not spend our time and energy recoiling in horror at horrible things? (actually, why even do that? why not just handle problems calmly?)
