Do you find cursing offensive.

I try not to swear so much anymore, but I don't really care if other people do it. Sometimes, it just isn't necessary, though. People who go way over the top and think they need an f-bomb or two in every sentence look stupid more than anything. I don't like f-bombs in general. "Fuck" just doesn't roll off the tongue like "hell" or "damn."

I drop the f bomb once in awhile and use damn and hell often. As long as the other person isn't using the f word every other word, then I really don't care.

No I usually dont take offense. Often its nessecary to release emotion in a more socailly acceptable way than sobbing. However if they go way over the top with their colourful language then it can and often does remind me of a particular aunt of mine.

Well i remember her best from childhood from her swearing both in english and welsh, well i could tell it was swearing when she was speaking in welsh from the tone of her voice. Whats strange about it is that most of my other relatives hold their tongues pretty well but this aunt held nothing back even when she wasnt in a bad mood.

So now when I hear someone using cuss words as a sentence filler again and again I often get images of her Cockatoo doing a little jig and tweet to my old aunt's rythmic swearing. If I knew just one of these people personally I think I would mention it to them, and ask why.

A curse word here or there barely registers in my brain. But if someone's cursing up a storm, then it bothers me.

I swear some myself....spose i try not to sometimes..figure there's a time & a place for it & times when I should hold my tongue & do....guess dont mind if other people swear either so much....except if they swear all the time in every other sentence like was already mentioned. Ironicly I can become a bit offended by excessive swearing in movies...example "Pulp Fiction"...when they use the f word in every other sentence...it just turns me off to the entire movie....feels like they turned it into a contest to see how many swear words they could get into the movie....makes me think they thought more swear words = big box office returns from younger audience... I dunno.
