Like, who cares if you swear. Just because you say the word **** doesn't mean you're cool. It just means your willing to take a risk of being caught. Why is swearing so cool these days??? It's not. And I wish kids would stop. Or else the next generation is screwed. This is only the prelude. If these gangster wannabe's get out of hand they WILL have a problem to solve.

I don't think swearing is cool but sometimes, the only way to get a point across the table is to swear.

I swear out of emphasis, humor, or in one of those "holy ****" moments. I try to refrain from swearing when I'm angry.

Because in a child's mind, "adult" things are cool. Adults swear, smoke, and drink, which is why children think it's cool, makes you seem more 'grown up'. I won't lie, swearing is fun. :P

I don't think I'm cool. I know I'm not cool. I think I'm a gaming nerd. I am a gaming nerd. It's just sickening to everyday hear "F*** you, noob" or "Go f*** yourself" for random reasons. Not just when they're directed to me, but to anyone.

Well then...you acknowledge that YOUR speaking habits are NOT done out of any attempt to be "cool".

So...why would you assume that when people speak in ways that you don't like, that THEY are trying to be "cool".

If it's possible for your speech habits to not have anything to do with being cool, isn't it equally possible that people who cuss a lot don't have any intention of being cool, but just plain like to cuss a lot?

You don't live near me. My city is worse then that. Trust me, I can tell the difference between just jacking off and having some laughs and just being a jerk. And I know which one is more common around me.

Lots of people are jerks. Many jerks also are NOT intentionally being jerks just to be cool.

"Just trust you"?

Why should I trust you?

Why should I believe that you have the ability to tell WHY people are cussing when they cuss?

I don't think they curse to feel cool. I think it just has to do with them being exposed to it a lot: at home, in school, tv, internet, etc., so they pick it up and incorporate it into their everyday language. It happens. Could be also that it's just the way they feel they can express themselves when no other words can suffice.

I don't like to swear, mostly because I've been around children a lot, and something just doesn't right when you see a 5 year old cuss out his mom at a random grocery store. I think it's funny they call it "adult" language, since the people who swear the most are underage. It's not something you'll should use in a job interview, etc. either.

Profanities make great sentence enhancers. Youth just don't understand that they are for emphasis and not daily speech.

Nothing gets your point across like a big ol' **** at the end of it.

I only swear because it's a habit, really.

Clearly, you missed the joke in there. Otherwise, if I really had problem with him using foul language, why would I use so much foul lanuage myself?

Why do we even have "swear words"? They shouldn't have specific words that don't mean anything or don't mean anything different from regular words but are considered "rude" for some reason.

I used to swear a lot. It's probably because my dad did so I just acted like him when I got mad.

Depending on who I'm with I'll either swear openly or try to tone it down. I don't think I'm cool doing it, it's just something that I do from time to time. The younger crowd definitely does it in an attempt to seem older and more badass.

I don't think there's anything wrong with cursing, it can be pretty practical to highlight a sentence or a word sometimes :P

It's when those words slink into every single sentence I get annoyed, that's almost proof of a bad vocabulary.

I just talk the way I talk. I find that some swear words best portray what I'm trying to say.

But of coarse I never swear where Ishouldn't/
