Word. Though I also feel dirty saying them sometimes, but I really dont care if they come out. Of course, I'm not going to start spouting profanity infront of a business executive or something, that'd be fuck stupid of me, but I'm pissed off with someone/something, or really stressed.. dont get in my fucking way.Julianking93 said:

Yes. I don't talk about it much or volunteer explanations due to the rampant disrespect for all things religious around here.Starke said:

Swearing is an integral part of my identity as a real human being.
I find it difficult to trust people who insist on not swearing or that swearing is wrong.
That being said, I avoid swearing at work and tell my coworkers to watch their mouth if they swear too badly.

Hey, another one! I don't feel so alone anymore!Thaius said:
Dumbing down is a matter for debate though. Maybe the English language has been dumbed down by swearing, or maybe people were already dumb and the English language is merely reflecting that. Or any one of a thousand other variations on the theme.
Whatever. Not like it's a big deal.
I swear when I'm angry, otherwise I tend to avoid it because it's rather unpleasant having to listen to someone use at least 3 swear words in every sentence.

Well made point - especially point 3 - for some people it's used as a 'filler' in the same way as 'um' or 'err'...Thaius said:
I do swear occasionally, and don't mind if people swear with me, but if I don't know the person then I wouldn't dream of it. Likewise if a stranger swears with me I feel it's the height of bad manners - it's basic respect.
I had an interesting conversation with my Mum some months back about swearing. For her the F and S words are meaningless and she doesn't feel offended by them, but she has real issues about words like blast (as in get 'explosively blasted to pieces' - she was in the army), blimey (blind me), Christ (she's deeply religious); words that these days are pretty meaningless but for her they hold some significance. I guess what a 'swear' is depends on your environment... Which is why some people use them so freely and others don't... hmmm....
i swear, i try not to use it excessivly though... still all norwegian swearing are based on christian fear so why should i give a fuck?

Never around family and pretty much only when necessary with friends. I find it hard to take people seriously in any form and every other word is "fuck this, fuck that." I do cuss beyond excessively with one of my friends but that's more of an inside joke. (we try to sound like the most stereotypical frat boy, fun times) especially when you start throwing in the more "british" words

Very rarely, and only when extremely annoyed about something. Not because I think certain words are "dirty" or anything, but because I prefer to use more "sophisticated" language, rather than sounding like your average uneducated fool with a volcabulary consisting of a handful of words. Besides, swearing on rare occasion gives it more impact. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PrecisionFStrike]
