Well... just thought I would ask What are your views on swearing? and do you swear?
I think swearing shouldn't be overused. Some people use it to a ridiculous amount to the point where the word no longer holds any meaning: for example, if they say the same word three times or more in just one sentence. That's too much. I think swearing is perfectly fine when you are angry, emotionally upset, or want to put emphasis on a certain point. For example, if you are in a heated arguement and want to explain what a jerk they are, adding an emotional-filled negative word is completely fine. As long as someone doesn't overuse the word to the point where it holds no impact whatsoever, it is completely fine. I only swear when it accidently slips out when I'm angry. But I never intentionally do it to look or sound older or "cool" like some kids in my school do. It's actually really ridiculous.
I don't think it's a big deal to swear occasionally in a conversation. but ireally hate it when people say the f word before every other word in their sentence, it makes them seem like they have no class whatsoever, and they seem very uneducated. although it is ahsamed upon, society judges us on our appearance and speach. it may not bet right, but it's a fact. and swearing after every other word makes one look very uneducated.
Swearing does not show immaturity at all, definitely not a proven fact, nor is it a sign of a poor vocabulary. See here for my views on swearing: Stephen Fry On the Joys of Swearing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_osQvkeNRM
I personally have no problem with it as long as it's not gratuitous. Prissy people who tell us all we shouldn't swear really need a get a life and find something that is actually worth getting upset over.
lol I would like to clear up the comment by slavaim, swearing is good grammar if you use it in the correct terms :p so if you are talking about a b*tch you are actually talking about a female dog in heat, ect... and it has been proven, do you think that rich and famous people swear often... NOPE they dont unless they want attention.
swear actually shows immaturity, and thats a proven fact I do swear every once in a while but I try not too. I personally don't mind it as long as its not one of those people that has profanity coming out of there mouth every two seconds, that just gets annoying. swearing doesn't make you cool so its not really worth it.
I think it's wrong but I swear when my emotions get the better of me.
Mostly on the internet but not in public.I just carry my black rubber ball and squeeze it when I feel like swearing at someone.Then the negative energy goes there.
I think it makes someone look unproffesional and not-so-mature if they swear a lot, it gets on my nerves when people are swearing all the time. It's not very often anyone hears me curse and I intend on keeping it that way.
Oo I swear quite a lot... actually all the people around me swear a lot... its so common for guys to swear all the time that no one really has a problem... wow... I just realized how dumb that looks --
Swearing is something you shouldn't say to often, only when necessary like me, I only swear when something really bothers me, substitute with other words like freakin instead of fuckin... stuff like that...
I don't really care about rich or famous people, most are completely talentless and have wasted their lives working for material things which are ultimately worthless.
everybody swers every now and then but you should not do it you never know when things are going to chanche, you can never say things before they happen!
