Debate Topic: is it wrong to swear?

While I will post a full article on the topic over the weekend, I would like to start another debate hopefully one as fruitful as our immigration. So I propose an ethnic question very related to highschoolers. Is it wrong to swear? Cuss curse or utter the profanity?

Does that allow such words cite reasons such as free speech, intend creates meaning, taboo creates the problem, dramatic purpose is justified.

Does that oppose swearing say the a bad mouth creates bad character, the bible forbids it, the desire to say such words are caused by trivial desire for rebellion.

I'm interested in what y'all think

Love beats the grasp of hell, once again

Walking alone on a clouded street,
like my mother I stare at two feet.
The black puddles engulf my white shoes.
because I know my love might soon lose,
All that their is and all that was had.
Like my mother felt when I was sad.

I sit, deeply troubled and I wait,
hopeful, outside the hospital gate.

Walking with you on a clouded street
Kissed with flame, I stare at just three feet

Crushed as you may be,
You will always have me.

Rivendell

This is a poem I wrote about heaven, exploring how the world views the afterlife. My apologies for the Lord of the Rings allusions.

Rivendell

A scintillating seraph

has thoughts of
fair futures in ever-peaceful

Rivendell.

The glossy-pink

sherry sky

watches with

its single eye,
and says to itself;
the Homely House is
gone,
the elves are
gone.
Crispy tears
drip down her face
like

Don Giovanni praying

soulless songs.

The sundering sea
lays like a
contented Charon, guarding the
Underworld.
“The ships are gone,
No more will pass,”
Rumbling waves proclaim.

Alas!

The silver-haired elves
and
lonely-forgotten gods
joyously weep
at their news.

Winter softly plays
bitter sullen melodies
in empty chambers;

The world has ended.

The scintillating seraph
stares across the sea.

Illegal Immigration

In my Spanish Class, we have started to talk about illegal immigration, so I decided to write about my views now.

I believe that preventing the movement of people across borders is wrong. What are borders, but lines on a map? What right do we have to prevent people from coming to America, other than being born here?

My plan would be to stop policing the borders of the U.S., and allow anyone to enter. Not only would this save money on guards, but it could allow us to tax the illegal workers already in the U.S.

An obvious criticism of allowing immigration would be the increased likelihood of terrorism. People would fear that terrorists might infiltrate our country and attack. That may once have been the case, but terrorists now are more and more normal citizens of the countries in which they attack. As The Economist put it, between 2004 and 2008 "fully 84% of culprits had a western upbringing but only 28% had links to foreign militants".

This policy could be complemented with a removal of the minimum wage. The influx of workers would increase competition for work, and lower the cost of labor within the United States, allowing us to be more competitive with emerging economies, such as China. As a resident of Wichita, I've seen companies threated to export jobs to other countries, for their lower wages, and this would prevent that from happening. It could even spur new job creation, because companies' profits would be higher.

Minimum wage is bad because it artificially inflates the price of labor. It makes it so that people who are not worth paying it are unemployed, people like teenagers. The real minimum wage is 0, because that is what you are paid if you're not working.

I'm sure I missed some obvious problems with this, so comment on what you think.
