It may be more forceful, but the color just distract from the substance (which actually tend to be the point when such language is used). > Yes, some people feelings are hurt, but when I happen to cause it, I remember that 10 years old kids can survive much more brutal expressions while adults act like they are part of the mickey mouse club.
