    I don't find swearing particulary useful in most conversations.

    Although sometimes it emphasizes points much more effectively.
    Nothing sounds stronger than "You ****ing *******!" Or "This ****ing sucks!".
    Just saying "This sucks!" sounds too weak. Swearing can make a conversation more effective and... colourful.

    Sometimes I don't swear. Sometimes I swear heavily. Depends on my mind-set, and who I am around.

    I don't swear as much as I cuss. Then again a good " God Damn" can be just as compelling as ****-you.

    Swearing is superior!!!

    Me and my mother swear at each other all the time...

    she'll come home and I'll call her a *****face, she'll call me a faggot, and it will go on and on from there, my father gets so pissed when we say that **** to each other.

    I'm not kidding my mother's hilarious.

    She knows I hate christianity, so to piss me off once she called me an "Alter Boy"

    lmao

    I don't swear around people I don't know well, only around those closest to me.

    I actually don't swear. Ever. I don't even say **** or damn.

    i actually find you can make your point with less swearing. if something really bad happens i feel that saying "oh crap" with the right tone is better than saying "well this is ****ing ****"

    When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. ... As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence. - General George Patton

    Yes, I swear. Not excessive, though, I think it is about moderate.

    Sure I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is Im not. I honestly feel that America is the best country and all other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

    Unless the words "ass" and "crap" count as cuss words, no.

    No, I don't. I wouldn't want to be known as a potty mouth.

    what counts as swear words to you guys, i think in the UK its a bit more lax. words like f... s... b...... and c... are all swear words but damn and bloody hell etc are all pretty exceptable. you wouldnt let little kids say it and your grandma wouldnt like you but saying those things even to teachers at school is pretty ok. in reality though i always thought the definition of a swear word was any word used to make a point even if that is non sensical. ie oh for petes sake, pete is technically a swear word. i dont know though

    Constantly. I have to tone it down in my posts, or they would be very difficult to read with all the ****ing asterisks.
