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.
Some say you should only swear when you're older, but how is it okay for an adult to swear? Yeah, they have more authority.. but it's still not a good virtue.

I swear.
Probably too much.. but I don't know.

I know it's wrong.. [koff]
But my point is.. is that it's wrong for all ages.

hm..good question, don't think there's a definite answer..
swearing is "appropriate" i guess at times, and there are other times when it is just uncalled for, i don't think it's right or wrong.
i swear sometimes, but not frequently..sometimes it's just feels good to let it out.lol.

well it's freedom of speach so it's fine, but if someone asks you not to swear you should respect their wishes because they probably don't feel comfortable with it. i swear a bit but i have some friends who have asked me not to swear around them so i don't.

swearing is bad. i mean, it is bad because I swear a little too much when I'm in school and I could get caught but i just dont cool.gif
but.. umm, you could teach just a little baby to repeat "f*cking" or "bastard" or w/e and that girl could be cursing to their parents and never know. yeah, did that make sense?

It depends on how it's used.
I personally, don't like it when people swear, or when i myself swear.

hmmm.. im just gonna say how SOME ppl consider swearing.

they consider it "bad" because most swear words are considered disgusting or STRONGLY rude.. i wont really debate about if swearing is right or wrong cuz swearing is basically part of human society nowadays, cant really debate about it.

I don't get why some words which are rather offensive ARE NOT swear words.

Well I think swearing is okay if you do it seldomly and to yourself only. If you swear in whatever you say in your daily conversations, now that's TOO MUCH.

Swearing is wrong, but sometimes you just can't help it.

And it's hard not to swear, considering everything around us... people are swearing on tv, in the movies, in music...


I personally swear a lot... and I mean A LOT.
