why do we cuss on the internet?

[Imakuni?]

If you believe in teh bible, none of these words were considered "bad" until someone gave them a bad meaning. Example: As_s = Donkey, Da_mn = To Smite and He_ll = Place where bad people go.

Well, first of all, the farmers made most of the words, and a rich corporate person said "Ooh. Those are bad. Don't use those words! =D". So. They aren't really bad. But seeing a farmer invented them, we use them when we are at a loss for words, or when we really don't have a BIG vocabulary. Me, I cuss when I'm out a lot, because I'm just so tired to think of other words, and "gosh darn it!" just doesn't do it for meh. X3;

Where do you get that explanation... I've never heard that.

I don't really care about others' cussing. I admit I have slipped a few times IRL, only once or twice online. As my mom would say, you're a product of your environment. If most people you hang around cuss, you're much more likely to do so yourself. Which probably explains my tendency to slip sometimes.

But if I'm really not in the mood to see others' pottymouthing (or typing), I simply try to ignore it. Still, I clearly see that often that's much easier said than done. Therefore I remain neutral. ...Except in the case of little kids.

Wow, I said a lot. This has to be my longest post in a good while. XD

Man I never curse. I once used stars on runescape so that it looked like I was cursing XD. I was like "**** you *****! You're a ****ing idiot, you know!

Where did you hear that Farmers made those words up?

I dunno why those meanies swear. Just so you know, I have never ever ever sworn, in my life. IT's just plain wrong X(

 

[Protricity]

If I'm around people that I know don't like cursing, I don't curse. That's just common courtesy. However, if I'm around good friends or people I know don't care, I don't really bother watching my language. I really don't see a problem with using the words myself though. They're just words.

I completely agree. As long as you don't cuss excessively, it's completely ok with me. As for myself I've made a habit of it, being around my family and all, but I don't cuss around people that I know have a problem with it.

I feel the need to curse more on the internet than in real life, simply because the people online annoy me more.

I enjoy to swear myslef but not just swear I swear in spanish.. that way not so many people can say anything about it... *smiles* Me entienes? Hijo de puto me entiendes?... see you don't care.. do you?

[machinegun777]

I never swared on the internet and I never will...

 

[Himawarii]

I swear--but very rarely.If someone really ticks me off the edge,I cuss alittle too much.

 

[Faltzer]

I never swear unless I put themin *** But sovery rare and that happens when I get so mad I'm going to kill somenody

 

[husk1442]

I swear when ever the **** I want to =p

 

[PichuSecretBase]

I swear because it's just how I talk. I don't swear too much but sometimes I'll jokingly call people things that start with a b just to liven up a conversation lol.
