I try not to curse too often and fail at it but, when I see someone curse a lot my opinion of them goes down. Not because of any moral thing or anything I just think it makes you sound kind of stupid. Like you cant think of something interesting to say so you just say stuff that is frowned upon to seem interesting. Lastly I am fine with cursing when it is a reaction.

Let me try and summarize my thoughts while reading your post.

Your "argument" has just proven my point.
Oh good, I can't wait to see what type of enthralling argument this kid is going to present to me now.

and I CAN understand that slaughter of the English language
Huh? This is either an incomplete statement or is referring to a previous statement which I never made about slaughter of the English language. It depends on the inflection in your voice for the word 'that' and I can't really hear that right now so I dunno, maybe a curse word would have helped your point by insinuating anger and helping me reference some context clues. All I think you need to understand is the correlation/causation basics of statistics.

what you fail to realize is that through that whole "counter-rant" of yours you did nothing more then prove what a giant waste of a life-form you are; or in your terms "what a douche you are"
Yes, we are both douches. At least I can call you a FUCKING DOUCHE, which brings us to the next point...

You have proven nothing to illustrate that swearing has a reason or purpose, and have proven nothing to truly counter my previous statement.
I believe if you re-read some of my posts on this thread, you'll find that I make compelling arguments about how cursing can take some of the guesswork out of emotional speech, how curses can be used to intentionally hurt feelings, how curses can be used to manipulate, how curses can be used to induce feelings of sexuality... hell, cursing is FUCKING awesome. (Ok, maybe I didn't cover all of those points in previous posts.) Not to mention it is just a collection of sounds coming from your vocal chords and/or a collection of letters. If cursing actually physically caused any pain what-so-ever (aside from any self-inflicted by the 'victim'), I might be a little more empathetic to your... um... cause.

Now please re-read and try to understand the following statement to understand why all your "follow-ups" will probably be ignored to death

"I would engage you in a battle of wits, but I refuse to fight an unarmed man."
Ah yes, I love your use of anonymous idioms. It shows that you are so smart, that you can't even think of something witty yourself. As a matter of fact, I am currently bathing in the irony of the idea of anyone using that specific quote to sound witty.

When ever I feel like it is called for or if it worms into my language. On the internet I'm a little nicer =]

1) I'm not a kid I'm 18
2) you're blowing things out of proportion and projecting so hard you can be used to show off power point presentations (or flash videos)
3) I'm done with this argument because you're being as thick as an asphalt milkshake

and I only used such a well known idiom because if I used something from my own mind it probably wouldn't make much sense to you

at least I can keep an argument going without resulting to personal attacks and staying on subject instead of resorting to childish name calling in a sad attempt to provoke :)

Out loud? In front of other people? Probably not as frequently as I would have thought. I swear way more online than I do in real life, probably because I use way more words online. I do tend to use 'fucking' as an adjective/superlative though, but I think that's pretty much the law in parts of Australia.

I don't even think about it. The only times I pay attention to my own swearing is when I'm in an argument, because I don't like to swear in anger. Not for any moral reason, but because, even if it's not for the intent of insulting or anything, using swear words winds up antagonising the other person (especially if it happens to be my Dad) and means they won't take anything I say seriously. It just makes me look worse.

I love to swear. Especially for emphasis and comedic effect. But also i enjoy insults without swearing like this

I love doing things like that because its challenging. But i also love swearing every-fuckin-other minute.

I use it sparingly. On the web I always censor myself[footnote]You got a f*cking problem with that?[/footnote] and in real life I don't really drop the F bomb. I say damn, shit and hell but usually around company that can deal with it or when I'm alone.

I sometimes wish I could swear like a marine...

They're just words. I've had people tell me that swearing is the deepest form of hatred and bullshit like that. I always thought lynching was a slightly deeper form of hatred, but whatever, I guess. I like to swear, kind of how I like to crack my knuckles; it doesn't matter to me if other people don't like it, it's just something I do and people can deal with it. Excessive swearing is slightly different, although I guess it's just like excessive anything else. But it does get really fucking annoying when there are over twice as many `fuck's in a sentence than the rest of the words in that sentence.

It's good you can admit this.

OT: Cursing is harmless and people who take offense to cursing and/or put themselves on an intellectual pedestal for having a "better vocabulary" are DICK SUCKING SHIT FUCKERS.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Yeah I swear a decent amount. It depends on when I'm using it though. On teh internetz I only really swear for emphasis. In real life I tend to swear a bit more regularly, but even then I avoid swearing in certain company.
