I say what the fuck I want, when the fuck I want. I don't fucking swearing in front of cuntflaps who'd lose their shit over it though. Know your fucking crowd.
Swearing is fine. I used it to describe stuff. For instance, something is either "big" or "fucking big". lol. But i do draw the line at swearing at people, unless its used in jest. Swearing as a description is fine, but using it against a person is an insult. So unless the person you talking to really should "fuck off" then there is no problem. lol
Ow god, that is terrible. Hahaha, fantastic. Which poor sap thought that this was a good idea and gave the green light for this?Jonluw said:
It seems to me that unless it's in a casual context it's unnecessary. Screaming obscenities at someone when you're angry doesn't do a lot besides make you look silly. Swearing to look like a badass -- the biggest badasses don't need to swear.
As an Australian it is my moral obligation to swear as much as fucking possible. If there's not at least one of those cunts in any given sentence then I've failed my national heritage. Fuck.
But really I do swear pretty constantly and nobody who disapproves has been able to give me a justification past "it just is" so I keep doing it. Would probably hold back in situations where it matters (job interviews, etc) but otherwise fuck it.

Take my opinion for what it is, but it may sound a little two-faced:
I do swear, but only around my close friends. I only swear when an emphasis of tone would add to my point and be taken well or if it would make what I'm saying funnier. So that rules out public, important/serious events/people and my mother. I know I'll grow out of it (I'm only 20) and I can censor myself without any trouble so I don't think my swearing is a problem.
What I don't like is when I go to my old school, walk around at lunch with my old teacher through the grade 2 area and hear a kid swear off the cuff. Like, he wasn't trying to be cool, it was as if he always said it like that. Also when I hear 12 year olds on the bus swearing for every second word as loud as anything. First off, I don't think it's appropriate for kids to be saying it and young adults I think should have a little more tact, but I couldn't say exactly what age it's appropriate because it's really only something that should be entertaining to juveniles, yet it's only acceptable when said by adults.
I definitely don't think there should be as much swearing in movies or songs as there is but I think we should be more concerned with the adult themes in songs and movies and when that group of 12 year olds swearing on the bus start passing cigarettes and spitting. Seriously, I've seen it at least twice.

To quote KayLee, "It ain't supposed to be appropriate, that's the whole point!"
I don't feel that swearing is something a body should do often, but when one does swear, it should be creative, colorful, and make people wonder what you're on about.
The "eff word" is for people with no creativity (hence why some "artists" use it so often).
I've been trying hard to cut back on my swearing at work. Not much success. Interestingly enough, I've had coworkers compliment me on my swearing.

In online games, yes..... Fuck....
In real life I keep a good, tight lid on it and only swear when I absolutely need to, similar to me and talking.

I don't have anything against swearing, it's a great way to release frustration.
I can't help but swear when things aren't going my way and the only time I have a problem with it is when there are children around.

Swear words are just words people decided were worse to say than other words. I have no issue with it and while I keep it to a minimum on the forums I swear a lot. (And I mean A LOT) To me all the bad parts of swearing come from people not the words themselves.
you try to work with 4 smiths with a age around 40-50 .. yeah.. alot of swearing all day.. and the daily try to guess "what perverted thing am i doing with my mouth" .. super awesome workplace 
I don't swear often but I don't find anything wrong with it when I do. Several swearwords have modern meanings, there is a difference between an asshole, douche, *****, dick, etc, when using them in a conversation with someone(not when you are swearing at them).
If I tell my friends that someone is an asshole and call another person a douche they would understand the difference and my conveying of their assholery/douchbaginess would be understood.

Swearing is fucking awesome and fuck anyone that doesn't agree.
But seriously, instead of using idiotic substitutes (fudge instead of fuck comes to mind), just swear. Swearing feels good. Helps you blow off steam. If you have to think to censor yourself it defeats the purpose.
Of course, there are words that I still consider to be "off limits", like racist/homophobic/sexist slurs.

I did a gig once, my guitarist reminded me just before we stepped up that it's an all age gig with parents out and about so I have too keep it clean...
...What did I do when we went live...
"So how the fuck are you doing? Lets get this shit started!"
I swear like a sailor
It doesn't bother me though, words are just that.

There aren't even any, or just a couple, proper swear words in the English language... Honestly.
I use them when I need them, but I don't let cussing to suffer from heavy inflation. In other words, I'm 24, not 14.
