No? Then how do people learn to curse?

Actually yes it can be. It's not good to hang out with the wrong kind of people, that can influence you in a bad way. If you have a lot of friends that curse a lot, it may be hard but you should tell them that they either need to stop cursing, or not hang out with you anymore. It could distract you from, or hurt your walk with God.

No, and in fact is a display of ignorance. Kurt Vonnegut said in his book Hocus Pocus, that cursing gives people an excuse to not listen to you. In my opinion that doesn't make cursing wrong, and in fact when in the company of my friends I often find I use it to emphasize something. Remember, they are just words.

Yes!! My husband cursed like a sailor when I met him. He learned it from his dad. He's much better now, but it took a lot of correcting.

Yes, I think it is. The more you say curse words and hear them the more natural they are to you

Have you walked through the hallways of a high school, lately? It doesn't take long for Freshmen to hear the swearing of upper classmen, think it is "cool," and copy them.
People who swear a lot say more about themselves than anybody else. Swearing says, "I'm ignorant, possess a limited vocabulary and can't think for myself."

It seems to be sometimes. When you around people who curse or use foul language, it is easy to pick it up. That's why you must pick your associates carefully.

If your hear it often enough you can become desensitized to it and yes you may fall into the habit. All habits are contagious.

To a degree, I suppose, but each person still has control over what comes out of their mouth.

You are responsible for what you say, as is every single person on this planet. We can make narrowly-defined exceptions for people with Tourette's syndrome.

It does show a lack of respect for language and the other person.
