I swear alot, but I don't care.
I agree completely. Although words like f@ggot I never use. Mainly because I have homosexual family members and I wouldn't want to use that slur around them accidentally.Gfan_00 said:
Fuck, of course I don't swear... wait...
Okay, I swear but not too much. Only when I'm frustrated... and when I'm desperate for comedic uses.

Thank you, I was busy reading through my mail to get first.
I feel the same OP, I say "fudge" and "schmit" and "smeg" instead 
Although I can cuss better than anyone when I'm really mad. In fact when I'm full of RAGE It can be just a constant string of swears :0
But yeah, when I'm not angry beyond reason, I try not to swear

In all but certain company, I'll try to avoid swearing. In certain company and by myself, I don't hold back.
Other than that, I'll try to use whichever's funniest or sounds better. You'd be surprised how much more effective holding back the swears is until a genuinely emotive situation...and how hilarious it can be to censor one's self. <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj7zi9Tp5s4>Case in point (though with different methods).
I'll still react to unexpectedly terrible situations with "Well...fuck." And possible in the same breath refer to something as "farking awesome."

I swear all the time. the odd thing is that I have excellent self control, that is to say I can stop myself from swearing easily, I can even do this funny thing where I bleep myself, but unless I have some particular reason to not swear I really just don't care.
They're just words, they only have meaning because society gave them meaning.
Case in point, yes, I do. They're a simple and blunt way to get my point across.

I swear all the time. Excessively you could say. But it's never forced, swearing to look/sound cool. It just naturally comes out. The only time I refrain from swearing is around family or teachers etc etc.
I think there's a big distinction here between UK and US Escapists (and people in general from those countries). I'm by no means a jerk, but as a Brit I swear all the time, including the dreaded "c word", especially with mates at work.
I tend to find Americans and Canadians tend to be more innocent in their swearing: an American cuss like "damn", to me, just isn't a swear word.

I don't swear, for a variety of reasons - the closest I ever come to authentic bouts of profanity would be "hellfire and damnation!", which you can could say pretty much anywhere and not get a dirty look (though if you shout it at the top of your lungs while gesticulating wildly, you will still look and sound crazy). I don't have a problem with other people I know cursing, or media with excessive profanity (I love The Big Lebowski), but I don't ever feel comfortable dropping an F-bomb even if I'm repeating something verbatim.
Oh, also I occasionally aim "son of a *****!" at malfunctioning inanimate objects (which doesn't really make any sense when you think about it), or call my own flesh and blood relations bastards in a good-natured way (and thus insult myself by extension, which also doesn't make sense).
