The thing with swear words is that a lot of people in certain age range will put them in a sentence and use them almost every sentence for the sake of using swear words. Some people will use them like a normal word, and generally will use the base form more often. The ones that use them a lot for the point of it generally use the adjective form, with -ing at the end.

Me  Forum user Uncanny Gemstar drew what is supposed to be a me. Thanks! Spoiler: click to toggle As they walk in, they're greeted by a small, poorly kept pathway leading to a poorly constructed Japanese-style gate. Behind this, a small field made up of corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, among other plants is contrasted by large piles of books, as well as a few rather out of place looking laptops. Off in the corner, a small woman, with long, striped, and strikingly colorful socks, no shoes, unremarkable denim shorts, a large, fancy black coat, arm warmers, glasses, a tuque, and somewhat unkempt, mid-length blue-and-pink-streaked red hair, is rummaging through a trash bin, located behind a sign saying "employees only". She continues this for a while (walking behind a wall to change her outfit now and then), until one of her visitors coughs. Startled, she looks up, apologizes, and grabs a handful of textbooks and novels before daintily running off to join them. What, you want me to tell you what these mean?

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods. So you think we should just shut up and die?! If that is the fate decided by a god. You are mistaken if you think we will simply accept such a fate and wait to die. We'll never stop fighting. Not till the end. To Zanza, the outcome is the same. Thus your logic is flawed.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

Dumb Quotes "and then I fired again. and then I missed. and then I fired. and then I fired, and I missed. I missed both times. and then I fired, and I missed. this went on for several hours. and then I fired. and then I missed. and then I was out of bullets. and then I got sad. I had a popsicle. and then I passed out in the snow. and then I woke up. and then I reloaded. and then I fired. and then I missed. I missed again. I fired. I hit something, but it wasn't what I was going for, so I guess I missed. I passed out again. had another popsicle. I had a dream that I was firing at something. I missed. oh, so she can pick a snowball fight with 'em. I threw up a snowball at 'em. I missed. I packed another snowball into my gun. that's my secret weapon. I missed. yeah, she's really something. I threw a snowball at her. I missed. I passed out. I woke up with a popsicle stick in my mouth. don't piss me off woman. I'll take a swing you, I'll miss though. I guarantee it. then I'll take another swing. and I'll miss. then I'll have myself a popsicle. would you care for a popsicle? just don't bring it into the sauna. I reached into the fridge for another popsicle. I missed. I got the cabbage. I put it back, but I missed. I dropped it on the floor. long story short, missed." -- Nancy Drew The White Wolf of Icicle Creek: Twist of Fate - PART 3 - Game Grumps
"When Ron the Mighty has stood in front of the gate of heaven he begins to denounce it. He cries, 'heaven is for those too scared of nothingness, I will go no further then my mortal flesh will carry. This mirror is the sick bed of heaven Harry, the eternity of pansy lies.' Ronnie will have nothing to do with the mirror, he is only concerned with the flesh and blood of the now. This destroys Harry. Ron leaves him to contemplate his stupid mirror, and the design of the cosmos versus the terminal beauty of being a wizard." -- Wizard People, Dear Reader: Chapter 23

I think the only meaning life has is whatever meaning humans give to it. Personally I don't bother with the why, I just go with the flow and live life as it comes, baby.

It's the dandy way to live.

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.
"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming

In a world where people care less for the art and more for the money, a world where good people get punished while bad people are rewarded, and any good person who does stick around only becomes a victim to the oppression they try to reform, and where creatures are on the verge of extinction, disputes occur over pointless objectives, people say and do things they know are wrong but do them anyway, be it something lessor like the use of profane language and the use of drugs and alcohol, or of course more heinous deeds like theft, kidnappings, rapes, intent destruction and murders... Or simply just because you have bad days, you feel lonely, isolated and useless... how does one get around this?
What do you people do to keep a positive insight on life and have faith in a world of hurtful truths and plausible chaos where faith itself has little purpose, or even makes things worse by blinding people to their own inevitability?
Could there possibly be more to life than just acceptance? What does Life mean to you? Ah, the middle ages. Or were you talking about the Renaissance? Or the Roman era? The time of the Mongolian empire? The future?
The things you list have always been there since the 'invention' of sedentary society (and probably before that too), and the invention of language and alcohol and drugs for some of those things, and will be as long as all of these things exist.
Besides that, I agree with those that say 'go with the flow', because worrying too much and being depressed won't get you anywhere. And if you stop caring about alcohol, drugs (leave it to the professionals :p) and swear words, you've got three less problems to worry about.

I must agree with Parasky here. Life per-se does not have a meaning, you are the one who must ascribe its meaning.

You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

Not that I would know. For me, Shrek is Life AND Love. Actually, life for me is about laughter and tears. Joy and sadness are what add depth to consciousness. Emotions are so powerful. Sorrow makes the good times sweeter, and what not. Sometimes just letting yourself sit and cry is just cleansing. Of course, happiness and fun are also great! It takes both sides for me.

Nah, whether we accept it or not does not matter. Our feeble wills and perspectives are laughably trivial. Our thoughts nothing but a product of outside stimulants that are themselves random and trivial.
Whatever meaning you choose to bestow upon life, it doesn't change things, and it never will. We don't know what we are calling 'life' in the first place, it's ridiculous trying to define something we don't know.
