I'm sure you people here other people cuss everyday, and i'm sure you've probably done some as well. One day when I was playing basketball with other teens they prey much said all kinds of words: "Come on man shoot that **** shoot that ****!" "He ain't gonna **** that ****!" "yeah baby! That's what i'm ***** talking about" "You ****!"

Every single sentence has vulgar. Doe's no one have common sense? Cussing is not a way of life. I'm sick of hearing stuff like that! The world is not a vulgar land.

What do you people think? Should the world be full of swearing? Or should we just have some common sense and stop with the cussing?
Really people, I'm sick of vulgar.

When you agree with my stance on swearing and on society?


Because i wasn't agreeing with your logic there.

Which is why one didn't form and we have what we have today.

But we did form a society that has cursing. So if going by what I think those words are saying, cursing isn't bad.

What you can get from that statement is that cursing won't keep a society from forming. You can still have a society form where cursing is considered bad, or a society where it is considered good. In ours, i would say cursing is neutral. The appropriateness of cursing in our society is largely based on who is saying it and in what context, It isn't strictly good or bad.

You people don't seem to understand. Vulgar is bad.


Only parochial and prudish people think so. Cussing is such a common phenomenon that I'm surprised many still express shock over it.


Why do you people think that your mom and dad don't want you to cuss?


My parents cuss. As do quite a few other parents.

and don't you think cussing in front of others make them mad too?


Only if you're as sensitive as a mimosa.

Why do you think the news doesn't go cussing all day?


Because it would make listening to the news a heck of a lot harder.

why do you think famous people don't go cussing in front of people? Because they know it's bad!


You really know jack squat about popular culture don't you?

I cuss in almost every sentence I put together. No joke there, I literally ALWAYS cuss. Such is the way of my people, and I can't really help it.

Why do you people think that your mom and dad don't want you to cuss?


My mother cussed more than me, if that's even possible. Heck, in her dying words she used at least 10 very vulgar swear words. My father, it's like he's competing against someone, who can say the most cuss words in a sentence.

Only if you're as sensitive as a mimosa.


Kudos to you sir.

I've actually heard a lot of swearing during news reports, from the reporters.

why do you think famous people don't go cussing in front of people? Because they know it's bad!


Excuse me?

The only reason words are considered bad is because some people are overly sensitive and other people are mean. For example, the word retarded replaced other words for intellectual disabilities like moron or idiot or imbecile, which were originally terms to describe the sevarity of the condition, but due to society using them pejoratively they were replaced by the word retarded. The word retarded was not a derogatory term back in the late 1800s when it was first used to describe the condition, but it has also turned into an insult. That's society's fault, not the word's. I'm guessing the next insult will be MC (for mentally challenged), since that's what replaced the last term.

My father, it's like he's competing against someone, who can say the most cuss words in a sentence.

That reminds me of A Christmas Story.

True. But about the 'mean' part: that would depend on the person. For example, if someone doesn't get offended easily, then their definition of a bully or mean would be really light.

But I don't even know why "cuss/curse/swear" words are censored and "looked down upon" in society. Truth is, no one ever defined it or labeled those words as "bad".

Here is my comment on cursing.

When you think about it there is a reason they are bad I mean think about it the meaning of the words coming out of your mouth. The reason those words were created was for just that cursing to be cursed is not a good feeling (although I'm not sure what the person who made S*** a bad word was thinking it is just poop.) I find it sad when people break the ten commanndment everyday.

Not your business to be prudish when the vast majority of Christians don't even observe that. Or the fact that a large proportion of people aren't Christians and hence have no need to follow the ten commandments.

Whether people take offence is a different issue.

Not everyone believes in the ten commandments. Nor is everyone in the world Christian.

Well. . . it would depend on what definition of the word you're using.

I'm sorry, but that didn't make much sense. Or I'm just an idiot. I believe the 1st one is correct, though.

In Serbian, vulgar words are part of everyday communication, even teachers use these words. Unlike English, our cuss words are usually sentences, because they make no sense as a single word.
Anyways, it all depends from how/where you lived, or how you were raised.

Can I disagree? Haha.

Too true. My teacher was laughing with us just last week, after constructing a sentence almost exclusively of the F word. It was hilarious to say the least, and the fact that he's nearly 70 just makes it even better.

Many words weren't originally cursing words, it's their specific use that turned them so. And I'm sure the opposite also happened quite a few times.

I think that yes, vulgar language is overused, but sometimes (when used tastefully) cursing is okay. Also, it depends on where you are and who you are around. A kind of short answer, but pretty much all that is needed.

Most of this is true. However, the bold ineeds to be changed.

The ten commandments are followed by Jewish people, Muslim people, and Christian people... just saying... also there is nothing in the scriptures that directly talk about swearing.


Yes, swearing is looked down upon in society. However, it isn't bad to curse or anything... it just affects your reputation. A person that swears all the time is thought to be ignorant and uneducated, thus offending any frivolous folk out there.

In morality's standards, I'd like to compare swearing and smoking. A little child that swears all the time is thought to be less "cute" and less "edu-ma-cated" than a little child who doesn't swear, just like a little child that smokes is thought to be less than a child that does not smoke.

((Trust me, I had a better argument, but I had to condense it because of connection issues. I hit "Submit" the first time, and nothing came out. I hope this works))
