I am soooo offended by this stuff...even in MY OWN HOME!!! My husband can't even say a single sentence without inserting at least 3-4 curse words sometimes!!! That is just ridiculous in my book. It's always, "Pass the Da*n potatoes", or "that supper was Fu**in fine, Baby!" I mean REALLY!!! We have kids and it's gotten way out of hand. \n\nThey think that because Daddy does it that it's OK for them to do it, they're 12 and 15. They've tried cursing at ME...that didn't go over very well or last very long!!! If he wants to talk that way at work around his buddys that's his business. BTW, it's against company policy. But, keep it there!!! He doesn't talk that way in front of HIS MOTHER!!! I am embarrassed to be around him in public these days! I think most people do it just to fit in. But, it really just makes them sound dumb. If you want to express yourself, there are plenty of words in the dictionary. The only word that I've been able to stop him from saying so much is GD. I make him put money in the 'Vacation Jar" every time and make hime say he's sorry to the whole family. \n\nAs for hearing it in public...I am most offended when I hear children cursing. I just makes me so sad. They just sound so...well...stupid... uneducated...what ever you want to call it. It just sounds bad. It's disrespectful, I don't care what anyone else thinks. Disrespectful to the people hearing it and to the people doing it. The sad part is, the people doing it don't even know how bad they sound. They actually think it makes them look better. Go figure.

its too bad people are not behaving.  Some Christians are not reporting silly stuff ya know,  and I have been hasseled by non-christians types.  Some think that freedom of speech is a reason to be rude (report button is kinda free speech and rude I think though there are times when it has a purpose)  and some think if they are not rude others will dismiss what they have to say without understanding,  as if being rude is an exclaimation point.  I just write off people who are rude crude and socially unacceptable as cowards in this dark closet and since they have no ability to articulate I assume they are not much good at thinking and when I see their avatar i just skip it.

If you use profanity enough, it starts to become a habit, and they just slip without you even meaning to say so - I know because I occasionally finding myself cursing in rather inappropriate situations.\n\nAlthough I'm not a fan of overused profanity, it can sometimes be a very good way of expressing a tremendous amount of anger in a clear, succinct way that doesn't involve either going off on a 20-minute-rant or throwing anything.

Some ppl just treasure the English language and find it so annoying that other ppl refuse to speak properly. It's like one of those things that just really gets to them and they can't help it.\n\nFor me, it can be a little confusing to try and understand what they r trying to say. But as long as they're understood i guess it doesn't really matter.

It's sad to hear people swear and to know that is is more the rule than the exception anymore.  It makes a person look unintellegent, and without creativity.  \n   My grandfather was a man who had his temper, but never cussed.  Then one day, someone did something and he said that one word, it had alot more power to it.  That is my outlook on all cuss words; if you use them all the time they lose their significance or power, but if you reserve the use of them for that whole other level of your frustration they have a little more impact.

No.  It is just how some people have fun,or get their point across more aggressively or lack other forms of vocabulary..  Some are just plain rude or demented..:)

I'd think badly of anyone who couldn't come up with a more coherent and descriptive way of expressing their thoughts.  It's one thing to curse when something bad's happened.  I do it all the time when I injure myself.  But if someone has to resort to crudity to express opinion, belief or feeling, then I generally think the person is uncouth, doesn't think before speaking and probably doesn't have a very good vocabulary to draw from.  It's not about gender, it's about how you communicate yourself to other people.

Many are rude because they are teenagers or extremely immature and they think they are sooooooooooo funny by doing it.  Some just put down anything to get points.  I think there are many who have very low self esteem and feel better about themselves by putting someone else down...it is a common thing for such people to do.  Sad, but true.

Because of the abuse that religious elitists have done, people have a gag reflex about tongues.  Some have made it to be a sign of superiority, and that those that do not speak in tongues are inferior.  \n\nThat is abusive and people should not tolarate it.\n\nHowever, lets not pretend that every knee-jerk reaction is justified.

I would just like to point out to you that cussing is not against any of the 10 commandments. Swearing is.\nCussing may be distasteful and inappropriate at times, but certainly no sin against God.\nMore often than not, it's a case of people not knowing how to express themselves with other words. Although, occasionally, a good expletive is exactly what's needed to emphasize a point.

There are some people in this world who are just poluting our society and spreading dirty things as much as dirty they are. I really think people should stop using bad words in their questions and answers and most of all we should report about those people who are doing this.

Ppl were probably abusing it by reporting ppl for the wrong reason or juz for the fun of it.

Some people just feel the need to be vulgar without any real reason for it.  I have found that there isn't really a lot of religious tolerance demonstrated on this forum.  I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, but I also try to respect the views and beliefs of the other religions of this forum.  Someone else on this site asked once, "why can't we just agree to disagree?"  The foul language isn't necessary.
