Simple Words

Simple words, simple words strung together in a combination to tap into the subconscious to influence emotion, and thought, therefore to affect decision making. That is true power.

The most powerful thing in the world... words
Can hurt, inspire, induce fear, depress, excite, arouse the libido, anger, think, motivate...

Okay, fine. I'll play.

They're only words.

It's the context that counts. It's the user. It's the intention behind the words that makes them good or bad. The words are completely neutral. The words are innocent. I get tired of people talking about bad words and bad language. Bull****! It's the context that makes them good or bad. The context. That makes them good or bad.
