Do you think cursing should be illegal?

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.

Allahu Akbar simply means "God is Great."  That should not be illegalized just because a few lunatics have abused it.\n\nIt is an integral part of the Muslim's daily prayers.  It would discrimination to the Muslim faith to illegalize this phrase.\n\nTerrorism alone should be illegal, and Muslims ought to discourage Terrorists from using their holy and good phrase before committing a heinous act.

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.

I view cussing as completely offensive. It gets under my skin when I am out with my kids and someone feels free to let the garbage shoot open clearly in earshot of the kids. It is inexcusable. \n\nI think for a lot of people it gives them a sense of power, especially if they are not mature adults yet.\n\nFor others I think it is a very bad habit. Worse than smoking or biting your nails, it is in a class all itself.\n\nI don't care how much I like someone otherwise, I will not spend time with them if they are habitual "garbage shooters". \n\nYa think I have strong feelings on this one? Your right!\n\nAND I once again point straight to the parents for being the example on this one.( Even if it is simply allowing their kids to be friends with who ever they want). It isn't just about being an example, it is also monitoring who your children spend their time with.\n\nWhew! \nP.S. I don't voice my opinion to others in person. No point. I don't like it but I deal with it in my own way.

Do you agree that people have the right to use profanity at pizza hut? \n\nOf course they do.....last week  Marg brought her youngest child Billy Wayne, who is 5, to work. Seems the babysitter had another nervous breakdown. ...but that's another story\n.\nAnyway.... Billy Wayne crawled under a booth by the door and  every time someone in sweats or shorts  went by...\nHe yelled "London Bridges falling Down" and then he'd give a big tug on their pants or shorts.\n\nThe other customers loved it. Marge was horrified. Diego the cook thought it was hilarious too, until Billy Wayne jerked his pants down to his ankles...that was when Diego started after Billy Wayne with a butcher knife,  and calling that child horrid names in Spanish .....oh well.....the gang down there always has something going on don't they?

No, in hte USA there is freedom of speech, even if that speech is hateful, explicit, or foul, it still exists.  Retailers have the right themselves to exclude or include cd's with explicit lyrics as do the consumer in purchasing their cds.

I agree that you shouldnt have to if you dont want to.  But to BAN it is absurd, so if you did go and say it would you get in trouble?  People who disagree with this should stand up and say it anyways, its protected by the first amendment.

With this ever changin and growing world our freedoms are being greatly compromised for the good of the many. Yes this is free speach and I believe people should have the right to do so, if I wanted to insult someone I believe I have the right to do so, even if it is very distasteful. \nIt should be my choice to decide what I say and how I say it, and people should be sensible enough to respect each others beliefs, but it is the few that are causing a problem as usual.

I think cursing & nudity/gratuitous sex could be left out of movies completely & not be missed at all. If the writers can't come up with a more intelligent way for the actors to speak, then they need to go back to school & learn grammar & English all over again. It's not necessary to cuss to make your point. As far as the sex goes, same thing - most of the time it's not germane to the plot & if the movies got better ratings (PG versus R) more people could see the film.

Freedom of speech does not matter when your cursing and saying vulgor and offending music. I love rap and hip-hop music but alot of the words are inappropriate to play to radio in tv. Children are affected enough by tv and radio, imagine if they could hear everything they say in these songs. I have a child and I will whip his behind if he ever repeated those things!

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.

I believe it is the intent of the person saying the word.  If someone is using it as an insult or to degrade another person, I think any word is inappropriate.

It can be disrespectful depending on how you say it. Then again, anything can be disrespectful if you say it rudely.

Yes, the optimum word here is ILLEGAL. No one is above the law and that is the way it should be.
