The No Cussing Club News Story



I think its horrible the way people are behaving towards The No Cussing Club and McKay Hatch, that is why I think we should all send encourging messages because the world needs stuff like the No Cussing Club.

If you feel the need to contact the the No Cussing Club and send an uplifting message you can do so by going clicking the following link The No Cussing Club Contact Link

It's okay. I talked to my grandma, and got her to stop sending those hate letters.

I think the No Cussing Club is BS (see what I did there?), but I still think the people sending hate mail ought to be ashamed of themselves. Can't people just argue a point maturely and respectfully without turning it into a high school-esque slanging match?

Heh, heh...good one. :twisted:

I agree with ghettoprincess. Cussing is a personal choice and we should respect each other's choices. I don't cuss in public where I might offend non-cussers.

On the other hand, I cuss like a sailor when I'm around other cussers. To me, cussing is like the extra cracked pepper on the caesar salad that is language. Unnecessary, a little shocking to the senses, but it brings it alive.

Sometimes, especially if you work with mostly guys (and you're a girl) cussing is one the best ways to establish yourself. Guys listen better and are a little intimidated by a girl who cusses. I don't write the rules - it's just the way it is.

And let me also say that cussing is different from having a dirty mouth or mind. I can't actually talk about sex or bodily functions or anatomy. That stuff grosses me out - but I do laugh when other people talk about it - like Sarah Silverman. I'm not a total prude.

Cuss I said so topic

When my NT son uses the F-word, it is always spoken in anger. This is where the problem lies. There is always the possibility of violence when these words are used. Sometimes I cringe when I am out and am near two people who are arguing. One is usually doing a lot of swearing, and I get out of there before things escalate. I keep an eye on things if a woman is being yelled at, and she is upset. :(

All the opposition to McKay Hatch's No Cuss Club, much of it threatening, seems to be coming from the Kuss Klub. This says something about the yahoos using those words.

I rarely, if ever, use nasty words here. And I have been angry when I have used an expletive. I think the lesson here is to voice opposition without resorting to profanities, We people on the spectrum often have better than average vocabularies, and can rebut without resorting to angry outbursts, at least in writing. 8)

it is your own choice whether you cuss or not.

i do cuss sometimes. (mostly when i am stressed or drop something on my foot or hand,)

i have seen people do it constantly in the course of conversation though.
when i say constant, i mean constant. I mean, is it really necessary to swear 10 times a minute?

I try to not swear, I will admit that when under stress I tend to turn the air blue with the most disgusting words. Some real foul words which I feel unhappy about using. I would be more happy if I was 100% cuss free.

I say good luck to the no cussing club, I think that the worst form of swearing is when calm people drop dirty words into their normal chatting. I think that it is bad and they would speak more richly if they cut out the dirty words, oftein people use a dirty word to replace other words when they do not know the correct word to use.

Perhapes they fail to understand that by littering their speach with dirty words that these words lose their strength. This is the worst thing when the dirty word becomes part of the normal vocab.

My best wishes to the no cussing club, too.

I should try to cut out the worst of my
expletives, too, darnit.

I heard about this club on television, where the founder of the club was sent hate mail by anonymous users. Many of those anonymous users were from 4chan, most likely from from /b/. I read a thread about the club there once, some users said that the boy had mama's boy's values. But I think the real reason for these real life harassment is that they know that he's does not conform to what a teen supposed to be.

14 year old use coarse langauge all the time in school. Since he does not, that was the reason for the harassment. Besides everyone knows that there are plenty of 14 year olds on 4chan.

Here's a news article related to the no-cussing club.

But really if I would respect him for creating the club, if I was their age.

Well I for one think the "No cussing club" is wholly stupid. Not only because they use the word "cussing", but because there website is poorly made and they seem to take offense to something that doesn't mean anything.

Aside from the whole double-standard set by society ("Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can't hurt you" Yet you still can't say certain words even though they apparently don't hurt anyone) how could you possibly be offended by a word that is not even meant for you personally. I can understand why you would be offended if someone was using many swear words at you specifically. But if you are walking down the street, and you just see a random sign that has a swear word on it and you get teary eyes and feel offended, then there is something wrong with you, not with the sign. (Though the sign is of poor taste)

As a frequent visitor of /b/ myself, I can understand the reason why they send him hatemail. I don't neccesarily endorse it, but I don't even think it's wholly unreasonable.

It's not because he's not "conforming to the norm", it's because he's being an idiot.
