Dan Hunt Is A Bitch dot com: Defend rude speech now!

After the Mich Jagger using the word piss at the academy awards and the subsequent outrage and my realization that the same basic word was used in the bible it did make me wonder how is it that one words come to be viewed as swear words considering it was used by God himself. It began to make me ponder how is is that some words such as penis are accepted but words that man the same thing are considered swearing. I’m not trying to suggest that there are words that strike us harsher and I think it is a good idea to try and watch language in front of kids but I try not to view these things to legalistically after all I can’t say with 100% certainty that my understanding of the issue is adequate.

What the hell happened to the link to past videos? I’m going to keep posting this until the link is back up.

People, television, songs, social media take Jesus’ name in vain all the time, but this idiot wants to ban using ‘bitch’?
The common usage of, including the company using OMG as their slogan, is taking Jesus’ name in vain.
I bet this guy will be inundated with ’Life’s A Bitch’ t-shirts.

I really do find word usage interesting and to be honest in the current climate a little frightening. Over the last few days there was outrage over Donald Trump making the claim he was the victim of a lynching. Immediately the liberals media and many Democrats and a few Republicans pounced on him for using racist tropes. I was a little stunned (although I shouldn’t have been) as I never thought of that expression in simply the context of evil lynching committed against American slaves. I mean I grew up watching Westerns where there was an occasional lynching usually against bank robbers or cattle rustlers but never thought of that term as exclusively a slave punishment. In fact I only thought of that term in the same way think of most of those terms such as “witch hunt” or “we got crucified” in a non literal manner. So I decided to look up the word lynch out of curiosity and there were two possible explanations one of them being from a William Lynch who did indeed apply it to slaves but there was little proof of that origin. The more likely usage came from a Judge Charles Lynch ( from where we get lynch law ) who applied this to Loyalists during the American Revolution. So the word isn’t necessarily of racist origins although it was an evil practice that deprived people of their legal rights and often applied for what should newer have been deemed a crime. Then thanks to breitbart some of those condemning trump for using this term were found to have used the exact same terminology ( Such as Joe Biden when denouncing Bill Clinton’s impeachment) but lacking the selective moral outrage.

One of my guilty pleasures (and admittedly perhaps character flaws) is my amusement when I hear some of these terms being used. Perhaps it was my upbringing in a fairly sterilized Christian community where I came to see some of the contradictions and hypocrisy of people who put so much emphasis on presenting a white washed image while lacking any of compassion for other more pressing concerns an often by those who lack any understanding of words. I think the first time a light came on or me was when Mich Jagger used the word piss at a Grammy award ceremony and people freaked out. Having read the King James version of the bible I quickly realized the word piss was also used in the bible by no less than God himself. 1 Kings 14:10 here God threatens to bring evil and cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall.

Sometimes I think our society has lost it’s collective mind. People wanting to hijack words or expressions without a clue as to their original meaning or the fact that words can evolve in meaning or simply that people of good will can simply interpret word meanings differently. At times I fear the word police wanting to hijack and police our speech and of course selectively prosecute based on their sole interpretation or bias.
