"There are no dirty words,just dirty minds." Leonard Cohen.

He said this in a documentary on tv last night. I agree,somewhat. But some words have morphed beyond being just words.

2. It's in Canada,called IFC.

It was in 1965,he was laying low in Montreal for a couple of months.

3. I tend to agree with that statement.

At some point, connatation comes into play and each individual's personal past. com si com sa

4. It's all in the delivery...

...and the goal of that delivery. Words can be used as weapons, and they can hurt. They don't have to be the traditional "curse words," either. Consider the parent who sees the child spill milk and shouts, "Idiot!" Etc.
