Is swearing right or wrong? Or is there a more complex answer?

My answer would be that if swearing offends somebody around you, dont do it. But if your with people who dont mind swear words anymore than words like shucks, or darn, than its okay. Because whe you get down to it, swear words have the same effect as saying ouch when you get hurt. They are just a way of expressing your feelings more effectively than regular words can.

I swear...occasionally. I don't think it's really good or bad, they're words. Words that aren't considered cursing offends people too. So...iono...whatever floats your boat.
