I personally think swearing adds alot when telling stories and what not. Whats more interesting:
And then a deer ran into the road
OR
And then this MOTHERF**KIN deer into the F**KIN road and i accidentally hit that SH*T

HELLOOOOOOOO sailor!
could not resist that, of course.
I know when my soon-to-be-adoptive-father curses, I always wince, even when it's almost never directed at me. Military habit, maybe?

Hell yeah!
Although I'd like to add that "cursing" usually spices up jokes as well....

I work the kitchen at a fast food restaurant and I feel that words are only words. They only hurt you if you let them. However, sometimes it's anywhere from lame to wildly inappropriate to throw around the kind of intent with which most curse words came about.

Ever wonder why our parents and K-2nd grade teachers told us that "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me," and then turned around and spelled out lists of "hurtful" and "bad" words that we should never say?
I'd like to think that I'm a pretty articulate, well spoken person but I also love to swear in casual conversation. I've been told that I have the brains though to back up my bad language with something worthwhile to say.
Also, fun fact: Andrew Jackson swore so much that his parrot actually had to be removed from his funeral.

So, so true. And apparently, the ??? type has been removed and changed to ghost too.

I'm a girl, dangit!
well said, Moltanic...this applies to me as well. i'm a very intelligent, articulate, well read, extremely verbal person who just so happens to curse worse than a sub full of sailors. i don't even try to control it anymore, there's just some things that i can't express appropriately without a few F-bombs thrown in for flavor...
i KNOW my 15 y/o son cusses too, but as long as i don't hear it, it really doesn't bother me...
I heard of a study somewhere that suggests swearing in a debate/argument makes you sound smarter and more believable, but only when used in moderation - if you toss a "goddamn" in once in a while, it makes you sound more passionate in your position, while dropping an f-bomb three times per sentence makes you look like a five-year-old who just learned the word.
I don't see any inherent harm in swearing. They're still just words. I wouldn't put down any particular age at which it's okay to start swearing - I'd like to say "at the age at which one knows when, where, and to whom it's appropriate and acceptable", but my gut tells me that would translate to about thirty for a lot of people.

That sounds like goddamn bullshit.
No no no, in this case you should have said fucking bullshit. Come on now, you should know better.
Also, reading this again, people who consider "damn" a swear word desperately need to get laid. Like. Desperately. However, people who consider "damn" a swear word will never get laid. Oh well.

Not anymore.
Let me be honest with you: I'm against swearing in general. Yes, I know they're words with definitions, and that they're Anglo-Saxon words that the French found "dirty" and "of the commoners", but these days, they've been degraded to something down-right disgusting. The "F" word came to being because it was short for the name of a felony that a prostitute was known for back in the day (and I can't think of the felony name at the moment, but if you were to look up the origins of the "F" word, you may run into it).
Another example: in seventh grade, my math teacher went on a rant about swearing, and he said that if you call someone a "f*g", you're calling them a bundle of sticks, because that's what the word originally meant. It was the most interesting hour I have ever had that whole year.
Anyhoo, I won't lie when I say that sometimes my parents swear, but it's only because they get frustrated at whatever we do that was really stupid. They hate swearing, and though they have controlled themselves over the years, I remember hearing my parents swear no harsher than the "s" word quite often, we were dumb kids. In fact, there was a period of time when I was young where I saw swear words as just words. I remember saying "bullsh*t" twice in front of my friend when we were talking about boys, and she was shocked I even knew the word.
Nowadays, if I find it appropriate (which is rare), I'll say "bastard" or "slut" depending on the context of whatever conversation is going on. Because honestly, "bastard" is the most common word my mom will blurt out when talking about our family history. Because we're a bastard family... in a sense. (And Mom agreed with me when I jokingly said if we were sluts because of it, because I was sure that's what the female equivalent of "bastard" was.)
And of course, I have put swear words in my stories, but I do not say them out-loud. I find cussing stupid, annoying, and it makes the person seem unintelligent even when they actually are smart.
