Swearing

         I'm not totally against all swear words. There is a time and a place for everything. Not every person is suited to use them. But I believe they should be reserved for those times when no other words will do.

         I am really tired of people who sprinkle their conversations with repetitive curse words. After a while, I begin to think they have a limited vocabulary, so they throw in the same word or two over and over again to cover their lack of word knowledge. They can use the same word as an adverb, adjective, noun or verb.I guess it's supposed to prove they're cool. Instead, they come off as shallow and crude, as lower class.

         The other side of that is that if curse words are used frequently and in all situations, they cease to have power. How can they convey anger or disappointment? They just sound routine. Is a "bad" word really so bad, if men and women use them ever day in every walk of life? We'll have to invent new bad words in order to have shock value.
