Swearing?

Watched "Weeds" the other night on the telly and the thing that struck me was the way that the 2 female lead characters kept dropping F bombs all over the place. I like to think I'm tolerant, but in the end I realised I just couldn't take it. What do you all think about swearing? 1. is it ok? 2. do you swear much? 3. if you're female, do going dropping F (or the dreaded C) bombs all over? 4. do you swear in front of your kids, if so how much? 5. when is it ok, when is it just not on? not trying to judge anyone, just trying to figure it out. I went through a stage of swearing heaps, but I'm not into it anymore. I could do with out excessive amounts on the telly and radio. But that's just me. BTW, for all the turkeys and smarties, don't feel the need to demonstrate. [ Edited on 29-12-06 by pete wood ]

I remember a film called (I think) Trains Cars and Aeroplanes, funniest movie I had seen in ages, not a swear word to be heard the whole movie untill this bloke does his cool with a bird booking a ticket for him and making a real mess of it, then he lets go with every conceivable swear word you could ever hope not to hear, then that was it, no more swearing the whole show, got the point across real good.

I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

I let out swear words, but am usually aware of it and don't like doing it.
My sister is a shocker though. She's fairly pretty and some of the words she comes out with (and often) make even me cringe. Now she's taken up smoking again too after having quit for 3 years, so she looks and sounds like a red-necked tart. 😂

nearly every reply on this topic says that they do not swear all the time and not in front of certain people. that means they can control their behaviour. so by swearing in a conversation with their loved ones/children,does that mean that they do not respect or honour the person they are talking/yelling at. if you swear at a person it says more about you, than the impact the word may produce. my2c

I usually don't swear but if I do it's usually because I've hurt myself but if someone acts like a jerk to me simply because they are a jerk than they will get told where to go. otherwise if it's someone I know who doesn't normally act that way, I find out what's wrong instead of swearing at them.
