I try not to swear as much as possible. I never swear online, however.

There are those few occasions where I get so frustrated and let out a few words in real life, but those are only a few, special occasions. :3
 
One of the great pleasures in life is swearing, if only for the reaction of that one person who gets upset. To be perfectly honest, I swear, and I love swearing. I only curb myself around small children and the elderly- though in my experience, they can swear better than me sometimes. My dad, for example, is in his 70's now, and every third word in his sentence is f'ing this, and f'ing that. My niece, who is almost 4, picked up quite a few over the years, and isn't shy about telling you where to go when she's upset.
I don't see the point in banning words from your vocabulary, especially ones that can be so positive and descriptive- if used correctly. There are no bad words, just bad feelings.
 
When I'm terribly aggravated, my mind goes through a series of language. XD; But I never actually say them unless one slips out, or I have to quote someone else saying it.
 
Yeah, sometimes. Usually only when I'm really mad or I'm with friends. I don't make a point of it though :O

So true. Why swear if you can use other words?

I never swear. And I even try to correct people when they do. Well, because of the environment I grew up, I only use one swear in my whole life. Then I figured out that it was a swear. (How can I be so ignorant for 12 years!?) I tried to shrug it off, because it's my official trademark. People know me for that, though I think subconsciously it really bothered me because I found myself not swearing anymore.

nobody I know doesn't swear. if they say they don't, they're clearly lying as everybody uses swear words in their life.
I for one like it. it makes me feel relaxed and shows how much I don't care about them. I'm never going to give up sweaing, as if I did my friends would disappear like that.​

Nope. Swearing doesn't do anybody any good, simple as that. I see no point in it. Actually, I went to get my hair cut today, and it seems like everybody and their grandmother was cursing nonstop. I mean really; there were children younger than me in there! Don't they have any manners or respect? The whole time I was there I was trying to tune them out. I try not to let that stuff get into my mind and think about it, because what comes in is definitely going to come out.

I swear infront of anybody except teachers because I simply do not care about people around me and that they'll learn them. using a swear word is like using the word 'rose' (don't ask, it's a random word XD), it's not even bad, just a few letters used to make a word.​

And here we have the common British teenager whose natural environment is a drab housing estate. Ah, can you hear it's cry? The swear words are present throughout the air, anybody would think that every creature belonging to this species has Tourette's.

That's right kids, swearing makes you instantly cool and popular! What are you waiting for? Start now!

hey I didn't say swearing every 2 seconds was good, that's when it gets out of control and boring, I live among people like that and that is the part of swearing which is wrong.
I'm saying people need to let loose, because it's not that bad if you use it once or twice in a conversation, not every single second.​
 
I don't swear that often but still more than I would like to. I try not to swear around my family but every now and then I do.
