Unless they are swearing you out, why do you feel disrespected?

When you swear, you annoy some people... I think.
I don't know exactly why. Maybe because they keep on saying that when I had purposely told them not to?

I can't say that I have never swear in my life, because I have had in the past. But now I do less because I think it kills your intelligence.

I am not against swearing. In fact, in real life, I swear a LOT (in my native language.) It is probably because of the taboo that the church imposed on it and such.

It's been a while...
I never used to swear until high school when everyone else was doing it...I didn't want to feel like a pansy for using other words in place of expletives. Of course now, it's become a habit. When I'm around friends that swear, I swear. When around friends that don't I don't. I don't really like doing it anymore. I feel like there are more intelligent ways to express what you're trying to say without swearing. It's a hard habit for me to break.

I swear.. In my head. I'd prefer if I didn't however in recent years I've began doing so.
Verbally I've never stated a curse word. It's impolite and unneeded IMHO. Why curse when I can say other terms to get my views across?
My parents curse like sailors so I'm surprised I turned out this way.

Can we please get the older, old forum back?
That's because they think of you being pompous. A knight of morality who doesn't mind his own business. You're actually disrespecting their right to talk how they want. If you're American, then you're basically trying to take away their constitutional rights of freedom of speech. Because swearing is still part of that, no matter if its nice or not..
Maybe you think you're doing less now because your brain already fried all of the intelligence you had left..
Of course it kills of your intelligence: oh, my, gosh.. Or wait, it makes American teens smarter! They are still looking for a way to switch cursewords with socially acceptable terms, like 'God' for 'Gosh'. Which they think is actually pretty smart, but of course, is incredibly dumb and hypocritical.
But that's something that the American society is doing to them, not the swearing in itself. If I just swear with saying something like '****-ING', then I don't need to dillute my brain into thinking that saying something a little bit different, like 'Frigging' for example, is any better, and therefore keep my brain in check and undilluted.
In some intellectual arena's, 'pacifist' can be seen as a curseword. See what I did there?

Has anyone read Lionboy? Charlie's dad says you should only swear when you can't think of a more powerful word to use.
IMO, I don't mind swearing at all. It's a way for people to express how they're feeling, and since everyone's diff everyone will find different ways to express how they feel.
Wow, that sounded sappy...

They aren't bad, just words that, long ago, higher-ups didn't want to hear. Hell is a real place, and no amount of censorship can take away my freedoms (see Voltaire's ideas) away from me!
PerseusRad
I see you. And you.
As stated before it is disrespectful and rude. I've never sweared. EVER. I'm not kidding.

Hmmm, what to say...
Well, swearing is basically just words that are shunned upon for some reason. They're a way to express yourself when no other word you know simply describes what it is, such as great frustration, bitterness towards a certain person, or even just stubbing your tow on the cabinet door very hard. If it's the latter, then I can understand that. As for the other two, I say you should just keep the mean thoughts in your head and work to be as nice as possible. (Those last 2 'as' came out as the a-word for some reason >_>).
I used to swear a lot, and now that I look back on it, I think lower of myself to be honest. I now try to either come up with something more mature to say, or just make random (disturbing) sounds. Even though I'm a teen, I literally have the maturity of an adult (probably because of the excessive growing, hence lower energy). As for calling people names, well...I just use 'Baka', Japanese for moron/idiot/fool. I don't care if the guys at my school don't think it's cool, they aren't the ones who are passing with flying colors (oh snap xD). Besides, I prefer hanging out with the girls anyway.
Swears are just empty words that are used when one can't come up with anything better to say when something occurs. Regardless of something being that level frustrating, you should really not swear. At least, where other people will hear you. Find it deep down in yourself to be the better person and act smarter by not giving into it. Trust me, once you do that, stuff gets much nicer
