I drop the F-bomb (FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK!) e'ery day. "****" is an especially good word. I don't know why people get offended by some letters that just happened to have been jumbled together to make a coherent word.
PEOPLE, YOU ARE NOT 12. GET SOME FEELS THAT AREN'T MADE OF SUGAR GLASS.

I don't swear much, but I don't see a particular problem with it. As long as it's not every second word I don't really see anything wrong with it. There's no harm in it, but I feel swearing saved for those special times you really want to punctuate your opinion. Sure, I could use fuck in every sentence and say that the potatoes are fucking amazing or that I am really fucking impressed with someone, but as I said, that wouldn't give the same effect.
Shit, piss, fuck, ****, cocksucker, ************, tits, fart, turd, and twat.
I'm one of those people that doesn't really believe there is "Swearing", especially because I have to constantly question why I can say "Poppycock, you gosh darn ignoramus" despite it having the same meaning as "Bullshit, you goddamn dumbass".
Sure, it doesn't sound civilised but often the people I would feel the need to express such a to aren't exactly going to be aghast and drop their monocle into their earl grey.
Plus context, there's always context.

Not sure what to vote because I spend half my time swearing and half not swearing.
I swear around my friends but I would never swear around my family.
I dunno why, I just can't swear around my family. Also I don't swear around kids but I think that's just polite.
The first time my boyfriend said `Fuck` around his mum I was really flustered. But she doesn't care, and I will swear around his family.

I try to avoid swearing, because at the end of the day, it's about forcing an emotional response from another person. Even if you tell yourself it doesn't matter, subconsciously you know it does. You wouldn't slap someone every time you spoke to them just to make sure they were paying attention, so why would you do the verbal equivalent?
If you're mad as hell and you're not going to take it anymore, okay, I can understand some swearing. But in general everyday conversation, it's unpleasant and unnecessary.

Don't see anything wrong with it, unless it's over-used, like swearing in every sentence or so. I swear for comedic effect or emphasis or when I forget to finish a sentence in my head.[footnote]Which, surprisingly, happens a lot.[/footnote]
I don't swear around people who are offended by swearing though, unless they're an ass about it.

Personally love a good swear, I'm pretty sure if you could go into my head and find the ten most used words in my vocabulary "Fuck" would probably be around 20 or so.
I am a chef though, and swearing is pretty much a second language too us. My head chef regularly replaces every word in a sentence with swearing when ask menial questions like "Did you use all the linguine last night?"

Since I was brought up on the whole no swearing thing as a kid, I don't swear in gneral. I only swear as a shout out to a reaction or pain.
While I don't think swearing is positive well most of the time (depend on which words and when and where you say it) but I'm exactly going to act as blasphemy if someone swear in public or in work (I did met two couple customers who swear abit at work but they were friendly and not swearing as if they're were pissed off).

As has been said, it depends on the context and company.
Honestly, there is nothing wrong with swear words. They're simply words. It is the meaning conveyed by those words that may be wrong, and that is where context comes in. If it is meant in an offensive or derogatory way, it doesn't matter if you say "*****" or if you say "Bannana" - one obviously sounds more rediculous than the other, but I'm pretty sure you could come up with a reasonable word to replace ***** if you wanted to - what matters is the message you are attempting to convey.
Likewise, it shouldn't matter if you say "Bugger" or "Fuck" in the circumstances you normally say them in. They are simply words that convey a message, and that message isn't all that bad.
Company comes in in the fact that there are a lot of people that have an absolute stance against swearing. Though I find it fun calling them out on it when they say things like "Bullshit" because they get worked up, its generally more respectful, and generally just nicer, to try not to swear around such people. Accidentally, nothing too wrong with it. Just not giving two fucks about the other person or doing it to deliberately annoy them is rude, and that is where it becomes wrong.
