Some people really do mean it, but I believe the majority of people say it just to be polite. At least their mind is in the right place in trying to be considerate to a person. I'd say 50% of our daily speech is occupied saying to others what we think they want to hear, but I'm just guessing on the percentage.

Words are just words. I think it is the intent and the tone that makes them harsh. Think about it . Some people use curse words in an endearing way, " oh, isn't he a cute little s***"? Also, an other example would be the tone your mother uses to call your name. You know when you're in trouble. No, I do not think eliminating curse words would improve our society or that it is legally possible.

Yes there are some extremlly rude whop heads here. If they don't like what they read they need to go do something else instead of being hateful and rude.

Not usually\nIt's quite different when a woman yells out a 4 letter word in the throws of passion where she has lost all control ... that can be a turn on for a guy knowing he's responsible for her losing control\nBut generally if a girl used foul language during normal conversation ... it just sounds cheap

yes they say.. about 60% of the conversation is done by body languages and 30% by words... other 10% is the way u speak...\n\nthere are lots of sites and literatures on body languages... but the best way is to analyze people and understand it on ur own...\n\nif u really want some books or sites.. go to google... that would be a very helpful way to find on such topics...

no but let me tell you, it's annoying. there's nothing more offensive or rude than some idiot sucking in huge amounts of air through their mouth during the middle of a lecture. i find it more offensive than someone passing gas.

My family used to be (when my parents were still alive and us kids were closer to home) prone to getting into heated "discussions" about most any topic. Whatever the popular opinion, my dad would always play the devils advocate, and off we'd go, debating darned near anything. One Sunday, we got into it about cursing. Part of us took the stance that only the designated curse words were truly curse words, and who decided what they were anyway? And part of us took the side that ANY word would be a curse word if used with the right emotion. Ex: if you say darn and you really meant damn, or really WANTED to say damn, then you may as well have gone ahead and said damn! The others were no way! Only the word damn is a curse word, and darn and heck and shoot are all perfectly good alternatives...well, so it went in my house!\nPoint being, I personally think that it's the emotion behind the word used, and say, in the case of Tourette's, there is no emotion intended, just an uncontrollable outburst of words that just happen to be considered foul by society. Now, having said all that, the Bible does have something to say about not allowing a rotten saying to come out of our mouths, along with swearing (as in "I swear to God I didn't take your purse!" The Bible says to let our yes mean yes and our no mean no) You'll find those verses at Eph 4:29 and Matt 5:37.

Usually it is out of frustration with something that is not going the way that the person cussing was hoping for. Sometimes it is just a word used as filler because they can't think of the word that they wanted to use. You know, like how when you are talking and are trying to think of a word, so you say, "Um", or, "Ah". It's the same thing. People shouldn't cuss as much as they do, however, it seems to have become accepted as just part of society now days. I have to admit that I am guilty of doing this. I'm not as bad as some people that I've heard in public. Mostly younger kids these days, (teens),  have the worst potty mouths! I hear them on the bus cussing, and they don't even look around first to check and see if maybe there is a mother with a little kid riding the bus too! I won't cuss in front of children. That's just rude. I don't want people doing it in front of MY kids either.

No, it is not a curse word.  She probably just doesn't like slang.  I can't see any reason why she would be upset.  Take care.

I think that continuous usage or even any vulgar usage of curse words shows a lack of intelligence. If someone is upset shouldnt they be able to explain it using non profane words? Anytime I hear anyone, man or woman, using foul language not only does that person appear much less attractive, but it offends me. I have small children as well. They dont need to hear it, frankly no one needs to hear it. The way in which someone speaks reveals not only their competence of the language they are using but their intelligence alltogether.\n\nI completely agree with you.

I don't think that Capitilizing anything is rude. I guess in the cyber world its considered aggressive or angry, yelling. I dunno. I use Caps to make a point, or I forgot to take caps off b/c I look at the keyboard when I type not realizing..............

I personally dont get offended by them because they were always my second language.  I do however think they can make a person sound extremely unintelligent when they use them simply for shock value.  I think that as we mature though, it does seem to make you cringe when people curse with every other word out of their mouth.  I can have a pretty dirty mouth when I get angry, or when I smash my thumb with a hammer or something- but in everyday conversation, whats the point?  Is it to sound "cool?"  I remember I used to do it for that reason when I was like 8, but when the thrill wore off- it just seemed like those words really didnt have any real purpose for being in my sentances, but I didnt get offended by them- more like turned off I guess.\n\nIf I meet someone and we are just having a conversation, and profanity takes up most of their conversation, I just think they are ignorant for the most part.  I am used to it though, so sometimes the profanity seems more natural in certain situations.\n\nTaking Gods name in vain though, I think that is absolutely offensive because it is against the religious beliefs of many, whether you understand it or not- it does offend a lot of people.\n\nby the way, tranced- you didnt offend me either,you just gave me a bad impression of you. Your comments are ignorant because the truth is, if everyone believed in Jesus there wouldnt be any arguments, so the world wouldnt be so messed up. Like it or not its true, because if everyone believed in something moral - no matter what it is- we would all agree on that morality.  So, to show you the ignorance in your statement- it is ridiculous to blame Christians for the worlds troubles when the worlds troubles are rooted in things that go AGAINST Christian belief!\n\nSometimes a little reason- goes a long way, no matter what your beliefs are.

The Violation of chatting is about the only one that seems to get results. I have seen the F word the B word the S word\nand a few letters in between used openly and have yet to see one being removed. I am beginning to suspect that Y/A is not as Neutral as it should be.
