[QUOTE="Sidekick, post: 3504333, member: 13946"] I don't swear around children consciously, however I have been known to accidentally let the F-word slip out at what are considered socially inappropriate times. I think that Umbran is right, it's about the emotional connotations behind those words and the appropriate place to use them, ironically I've found that just swearing once when I really need to just doesn't cut it anymore for me. I ave to string at least 3 together to get the appropriate level of venting out. But you know what really pisses me off about the whole swearing being obscene thing? Its when people won't swear and use other words in their place. Do people who say "He' a real Se you Next Tuesday", or "Fudge" realise how stupid it sounds? Swearing does mean some people think you're not as intelligent, but then again actively substituting other words for swearing can make other people think your a complete muppet. Also I dunno if anyone here has seen it but I recently watched the Documentary entitled "F*CK, a history". Highly, highly, highly entertaining and rather informative as well. [/QUOTE]
