[tankiphilo]Let's talk about maturity

[skitee 555]

Wow. So you're bringing up another issue. What's the difference between "cussing" and "violent cussing"?

 

"Damn" in reply to something went wrong is normal ordinary cussing, and the like. When you start going "F*** you" and swearing AT PEOPLE, then that is violent cussing and only for immature people.

I was taught that any kind of swearing is bad. Even the "D" word is not allowed to be said. So I think that this means that how "bad" some cussing is is a relative term based on a person's background. Though I do agree that swearing AT someone is worse. Maybe maturity shouldn't be measured on swearing? How about the general way of doing things?

[skitee 555]

Hmm... that's a hard one. In the area where I live (west london), anything short of the "F" word is considered as not swearing. So H***, D***, C***, S*** are all words that I do not consider as swearing. Other people do. But how to measure maturity? I wonder... any ideas?

[chriswu 25]

Well, is there any such thing as maturity? I think that definitely maturity can be measured in someone in real life, but is it possible to see on the internet?

[skitee 555]

Yes, but there is no one factor that decides it. It could be a range of factors, and is gradual to find out how mature someone is. I find a good guide how many typos they make... the less typos the more mature. And you can never measure someone's maturity in an instant: it takes time, probably a month of "Stalking?" their behavior.

Maturity is, in my opinion, the ability to go against the majority if they are doing something morally wrong. For example, having premarital sex, bullying a certain group of people, swearing online (Ahem!), doing drugs, or being in a gang that violates the law.

 

I hope that everybody reading this has those qualities.

Ehm... premarital sex is morally wrong? :shock:

I believe maturity to be the quality where, you know right from wrong, when you

put others before you, and letting go of old, dead grudges. The word maturity

also brings to mind the words: Empathy, Leadership, Moralty, and above all

 

Respect

Most of the times the rules or requirements just say "Act mature" You don't really have to be mature to act mature.

 

 

Swearing only relates to maturity because of Anger, if one is mature enough he can easily suppress his anger and if he still feels a little pissed off he basically uses an alternative path, some people go watch a movie some listen to songs some come here to the forum while other just join a discussion. Other than that even the most mature people can swear under certain circumstances but swearing under normal circumstances is simply an immature behavior. Why? Because there is no need to swear and you won't gain anything from doing so.

 

I don't consider myself as "Mature" but thanks for your remarks. :mrgreen:
