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 don't know, but I know how the word was invented! A long time ago in England, whenever a married couple wanted to have children, they needed permission from the king. So off they went to one of the king's representatives, and if deemed worthy of having children, they went back home and er, reproduced. While doing so, they had to abandon their jobs (most likely farming and tending to the fields) and had to put up a sign with the letters F U C K on them, which stood for "Fornication under consent of the King." And there's your little history/legend lesson. Anyway, swearing is fine to me. While most people think of this as a moral issue, I think this is more of a personality and self image issue. We all use different vocabulary and diction because we may be from different areas, interact with different groups of people, etc. It depends on who you're talking to, and what you're talking about. Swearing, I think, is acceptable if you take note of what kind of person it is you're talking to. |
