Why do people feel the need to express themselves with vulgar and inappropriate words?

Maybe if you reminded them that profanity is a crutch for conversational cripples they would be more aware of their language. If it continues then it's obviously a fact that these people are quite illiterate.

None Really, It just indicates that you really have no other way of expressing your feeling in better wording and have to resort to swearing.\n\nThough there are some extreme cases where it does slip out.\n\nI hope that helps and good luck!

It does smell funny, and it involves a dangerous amount of fluid exchange, not to mention the swallowing of vast quantities of other people's saliva and bacteria. It does people feel dirty if they're not in the mood for it.  And we have some freakish cultural obsession with keeping everyone innocent.  But personally I think people who are disgusted by sex are mentally retarded and should not be listened to.  We're talking mainly about immature women and religious men.  But these people are extremely selfish, they like to get attention by making a scene, and they never shut up.

Because people in this world are stupid, fearful, and/or mean.  There is a lot more to it, but basically everyone who is expressing hatred of any kind falls into one of those three categories.  Stupid, fearful, or mean.

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.

because people feel bad about themselves so they treat others worse so they can feel better. It is terrible and mean, but poeple feel like they always gotta come out on top.

I don't think it is, but sometimes people get uppity when I say it.  Especially if there's a kid in the room.  It can be bad if said with a certain tone and in a certain situation, but I don't think it is generally bad and people need to relax about it.  There are a lot of awfully worse words and phrases out there to devote your energy to.

just saying the word is not in itself, a sin.  the only reason we have profanity in the first place is because of pride, one of the 7 "deadly" sins.  however, using any word inappropriately could be sin.  there are too many unknowns in each circumstance to say one word is a sin.  \n\nreally it's more of a cultural/social no-no

No! For me personally, it is more about the language used to express some ideas. I too have served in the military and stand for freedom of speech.It is not necessary to yell,use foul words,throw things,   destroy people or property to get your point across. Yet all too often we do.Ask why? To be a better listener is a start.

People swear because they THINK it makes them look cool.  And as a matter of fact, to other peple who swear, it does. To people like us who dont though, i does look stupid.  But they dont much care what we think about them, only other "cool" people.

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.

because there are those who feel that by answering a question with a smart rude remark that they will prove some point. Normally they are trying to show off in front of other's and cannot gain attention so they use this format where they can be heard and not ignored as they normally are in public.

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.

No it is not only bad words.  No, in a real case of Tourettes it is not the intention to offend.  \n\nLESS THAN 10% of Tourettes patients have this symptom and it is not a requirement for a diagnosis.\n\nPeople can only repeat what they hear and learn.  This includes people with Tourettes Syndrome.

The selection of words would have to do with proper speech and improper or slang. The "cuss" words refers to curse or the words used to wish some harm or bad thing to another person. The Bible makes the difference in the heart. We are to use our speech for others well being and encouragement. I can say that some foods make me sick and nothing is offensive about that. But if I say to another person "you make me sick" I have used my speech to hurt another and this is wrong.

I believe that in many ways it is necessary, & just simple human nature. If someone were to hit their thumb with a hammer, I doubt the following comment would result in "Oh that was nice." or when the pickle jar falls from the bottom of the grocery bag, while fishing for you keys at the front door. As time passes, the terms like shoot, shucks, or damn, are slowly being replaced by more vulgar forms for shock effect. Unfortunately, if someones not careful, it can become a routine part of their vocabulary almost by accident.\nI have also noticed that people can fall into the trap, when they loose control of their emotions, or fell as though they no longer have control over any given situation, whether it is based on a relationship, or work related. being a cause & cure problem, foul language is not necessary.
