Haiku-Review #1: Planet of the Apes
I'm starting a new segment on the blog!
*blows that thing with the strings, this-http://www.bikudo.com/photo_stock/255591.JPG*
It is called Haiku-Review, where I review movies with just a haiku. For good measure, I'll start it off with two, one in this post, and one in the next.
And yes I know there is a website like this
Haiku-Review for: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
This one is good if
You forget the other ones
Apes take down a plane
Thanks for reading and considering,

Language or (Hoc tibi vere vultus sursum?)
No, I didn't forget you, I just needed two weeks to mull this one over. Or to play Team Fortress 2. Can't remember, definitely one of those two.
A few days ago, I was playing a game at the camp where I am a camper half the day, and get paid the other half. During a pivotal moment in a game, I was removed from the field, taking a chance to use my favorite expletives on the way out. A counselor turned to me and yelled out "Language!" I responded by saying, "Mine is English."
What's so wrong with certain words, that is fine with others? Why can I say "doody" to a child, and not say "shit"?
As a form of research, I watched a youtube video that may have less than 1% truth as to the origin of curses (http://tinyurl.com/cosyzr) That didn't give me much more of a clue. Why do people care which words are used and which aren't? Words are used to describe the world around us, and if you feel like someone is being a "bitch" as opposed to just "a meanie", wouldn't bitch be the more appropriate word?
Well, before I go much further with my More-Righteous-Than-Thou speech, I do restrict my swears around my parents, and to an extent, around everyone. Try as I may, I can't bring myself to say the C word or the N word.
These words, for the most part, are frowned upon when used because of what they mean. Authority figures, for some unholy reason, think that if they allow us to use these words, that we will start using them towards one another and fights and such will ensue.
The problem with this logic is that if you deny a teenager something, it is the only thing their heart is dead set on doing.
I don't see any problem with letting people use these words as long as they know what it means. That is also why I think that someone saying "I love you" to someone as a lie is worse than any slang word that can be thrown at someone else.
Words are a powerful tool. Use whatever words you will, because no one can restrict that (except for some caveat to the first amendment. Total bullshit).
