: You find the connotations of the word "fuck" to be "hateful?" (I suggest that you might be doing it wrong!)

no, personally i am strong minded enough not to be swayed too much by a single word. however, it is evident in our society that "fuck" is one of the most insulting curse words.

take any example. any time someone gets pissed off or pushed to the limit by another person, it usually boils down to 'fuck you', or a waving middle finger.

it's no rule of my own, but being americans, the biggest insult we have come up with is saying "let's have sex" to each other.

McSpotlight adds: bit culturally specific really ... some cultures/ languages don't have a word we equate with 'fuck' in the offensive term (of course they may well have a term or phrase which equates to having sex).
