The word fuck is probably the most important word in the English language. It has a way of flowing off the tongue and adding much needed flavor to a dull or run on sentence. After doing some research, I have found that 30% of the words that come out of my mouth during the day are or involve the word fuck. I'm seriously in love with the word fuck...and why not? It is a wonderful, vibrant word rich with meaning and expression.
"I don't really care about that."
"I don't give a fuck."
Which one of those sounds better? Sentence 1 does tell it how it is, that you don't care about whatever subject you are discussing. Sentence 2 however, explodes from your mouth with a language and emotion filled burst that leaves nothing open for discussion...you don't give a fuck. By adding the word fuck, you have given the sentence attitude, given it expression, given it life.
Fuck is also one of those interesting words that are a lot more socially acceptable than they were 30 years ago, but still offend the fuck out of christian parents, the elderly and the FCC. Everyone who doesn't regularly say fuck are very offended by it's usage...especially when used in front of small children.
Now let us be clear, I like the word fuck when it is used as an empowering adjective...such as, "look at that fucking asshole." I even like the word fuck when used as a noun...such as, "look at that fuck driving the Hummer." Fuck used as a verb however, is where I start looking back to my middle school days and seeing how immature it is... "hey baby, wanna go fuck?" or, "I would so fuck that girl." I'm not sure why that usage bothers me so much (probably having something to do with how much it takes away from the beautiful act of "love making") or why I find that usage immature...I just do.
I'll leave you with this...try using the word fuck more. Just say it. Use it in everyday life and see how much happier you will feel. Tell your wife, "Honey, we're out of fucking Corn Pops." Tell your children, "No t.v. until you finish your fucking homework." Tell your boss, "I'm finishing these fucking reports as fast as humanly fucking possible...fuck." Don't say the word in anger or in a mean way, just say it. I promise you will feel a-fucking-lot better.

Mr. Neil,
I am heartened by your willingness to share your views with the world at large. Are there other locals in your peer group doing the same thing?
I can imagine that as your blog becomes more known, that more of your local contemporaries will join in the effort to make their voices heard. Perhaps you could become an active (community)organizer in the furtherance of that purpose.
I think that you guys have a lot to say and a perspective that needs to be heard and understood.
Keep up the excellent role modeling!
