In my view, curse words can be used in one of two ways. The first is swearing directly at people which I totally abhor and I find ignorant and rude because the curser wants to cause offence.
Swearing in general speech doesn't bother me at all and I usually find it quite amusing. In this type of use I just see them as words that can be chosen from the millions of words available to us. And they are pretty good at expressing certain feelings such exasperation!

Don't think much of them. Generally, they don't have anything much to say - so they resort to using those words. I just ignore them.

Remember what momma used to always tell you. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
People that curse too much limit their vocabularies. One would only use the same words over and over if he/she cannot come up with better replacements.

I try my best to treat them like any other people. I don't look so much at the curse words but the intent behind the curse words.

Why must you always use a swear?
I don't care if a person needs to speak in an offensive way for whatever reason but if this person is that lazy that they have to resort to curse words then it's ridiculous. How many words are there in the English language? I have no idea what the answer to that question is, but usually the most offensive or dirty statements are said by people who have wide vocabularies and can really think of some horrid stuff.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather be called a "b****," any day of the week rather than, "lazy, stupid, miserable." Those words aren't dirty but they are words that hurt ME and take too much out of me.
Pete Maida says
When I hear people swearing a lot I think that they are people of limited volcabulary. It seems like they have no other way of expressing themselves. They haven't figured out that there are strong words in the English language that aren't offensive. Some do it just to get attention; which is pitiful.
You can vote each answer up or down to show your support or disapproval. You cannot flag an answer, but if an answer receives enough down votes compared to up votes, then it will become hidden.
