Language is just that, language. I'm still >not sure how people can be so offended by simple words...get a life. "Language is just that, language." You taking speaking lessons from George Bush? har har! I do swear but usually in places where it's deemed more "acceptable" (like the hockey bench or playing pool with the guys etc) but not in a public place and especially not around children. They hear enough on the schoolyard, they don't need to hear it everywhere else. Yes cursing is just words but they are words deemed by society to be coarse and offensive. Unfortunately some people think they can use them anywhere they like which to me is rude. It shows they don't have respect for others who might be offended by it and also that they don't have any respect for themselves. When I hear adults cursing in the grocery store or in front of their kids, I do think less of them and wonder how low their IQ is. If cursing is just words, how about using some other socially acceptable words like..frig or darn..or fiddlesticks!? haha! Afterall if it's just a word it shouldn't matter what you use, right? Gman you should start up the "I Want To Be Able To Curse Anywhere Anytime AND Sunday Shop Organization" or IWTBATCAAASSO for short. Lol!
