I think that as a society (or as a group of english speakers) we should have grown up to the point that we realize how words are just vibrations; and not label some words as BAD when in reality they are just another vibration with another meaning. What do you think?

i personally think that words labeled as BAD words are really just an outlet for showing how strongly you feel about something. i do not advocate using these words in a vulgar manner because i think when used in such a way it just shows a lack in vocabulary
and I'm not offended, i just sometimes think it is inappropriate

I don't use profanity a whole lot, but when I do, it's because I'm angry (swear words are a great stress outlet, especially the f-word) or trying to get a point across in the most shocking way possible (most people just don't listen unless they're shocked into listening). To use profanity all the time is to diminish its effectiveness, so I don't like it when people use profanity constantly. But it's more of an annoyed/disgusted feeling than being outright offended. (Ever see that South Park episode called "It Hits the Fan"? In 22 minutes, the s-word was said over 160 times. There was even a little meter keeping track of it. By the time that meter hit 80, I was so sick of the s-word. It just didn't mean anything anymore.) So I suppose if people want to get rid of curse words, they should make cursing 150 times a day mandatory. The more forbidden they (curse words) are, the more satisfying it will be to say them. I really don't think something as innocent as a word, which is really nothing more than a collection of sounds and letters, is capable of being "bad." That's just silly.

What kind of sh*t question is that? I think most people use them because they cover such a vast amount of frustration in just one or two words with the proper emphasis and tone. Why drag out a long rant when a short profanity does nicely? As long as a person's vocabulary and use of the English language is not over-run with profanity, it's fine with me.

if you think about it you can use the f-bomb in many situations that would denounce it as being a bad word. so no i think casual profanity is a way of life now, that these words have made it into a our culture and we should just let them fly.

I am not really offended by profanity but there is a time and place for it and out of respect I think people shouldnt do it in certain places or in front of certain people, like children or at classy resteraunts

well, I agree but there's such a thing as bad vibes or at least there is in our conditioned consciousness that we go through the day with. However I am not offended by those words.

I try not to use it in everyday life, but I notice that when I'm at work, I swear on a regular basis! But, then again, so do my co-workers--it's a great way to relieve stress, and we do it amongst ourselves, so no one minds.

I just do not like hearing swear words. It seems to me that the people who are not very bright use the most swear words.

So swearing means you're uneducated? Well, I think you're a pompous ***.
