Yr all about freedom of speech, but yet you censor yourself with simple curse words.
You let a 9yo fire an uzi on automatic at the firing range, but you can't have her hear the word FUCK on the radio, seriously?
I especially hate how some people use words the sound like curse words, like fudge and heck, thats really retarded.
How about not being able to listen to a song because all of the beeping?
We are all adults (well some of us are) and we all use them, so whats the big deal?

Conditioning...everyone has been conditioned differently though with some ever so slight similarities.

F Bomb is a sad way to express opinons. And if you go to a E Cig Forum Like Planetofthe Vapes you will find a much broader and interesting vocabulary then American cursing. fact Check do you want your 3-10 your old kids to speak this way? We say Parents need to responsible when it comes to E Liquid and Kids. I say parents need to be responsible to learn how to use language broadly with creative thought. F Bomb is about as un creative a word as it gets IMO. Sure I will think the word but leave it there in my thoughts and not my mouth. or pen[keyboard]

Having joined Uncle Sam's Canoe club at 17 and spent my previous 7 years in the Chicago area I thought I new every swore word, but I learned to incorporate all of them into my everyday speech, used as both adj. and verbs. As well as to express emotion. It's just adult language,

You make it that easy? I'm Scottish and it was FUCKING HARD, taming down my language. Back home most of us cannae express ourselves without cursing..it is the common vernacular in all but the poshest company. The reason that the US is the way that it is in regards to speech and topics such as nudity....is the result of your founding fathers, who were primarily Scottish Protestants (wiggamores in Scots)....thus the "Whig" party in early US politics. What is considered immoral or crude is largely a subjective matter that is typically agreed upon by the majority of society. I guess you get what you vote for aye?

Raised Canadian with a Scot mom and an Irish dad...

My besties are Welsh, Scottish, Mexican, one a Texan raised in SE Asia and an Aussie.

IMHO, Americans are utter noobs when it comes to inventive profanity. ;-)

The Aussies alone have like 5 cultures from which to draw from...most non-English languages also use variants of gender tense...

20 some years ago week after I met my soon to be MIL, Melinda came home her mom behind her. Mel yelled why didn't you answer the phone ? I yelled back as I came up the hall, cause I was on the shitter ! That's when I saw my pale-skinned MIL, turn alabaster , her eyes the size of half-dollars and her mouth open so wide in shock that I could see that little hangy-down part in her mouth ! I ducked into the bedroom and died laughing at the look on her face.

Colonists know the words, but lack the panache to use them in witty, clever ways.

I think you may agree on this: Scots Gaelic has some powerfully eloquent methods of conveying verbal horror. ;-)

I grew up (or at least attempted to) in Wick Scotland which is a very religious community...thanks to it's rich history in commercial fishing...and we all know how fishermen can be! I was accused quite often when I moved to the US of being a "potty mouth", but I was no worse than half of the Anglican priests back home! "Och, his mum needs tae flog the wee shit oots that boy, pure 'ooligan acting a twat aroon the lasses"

Exhibit A:

    • "Cò an caora sin còmhla riut a chunnaic mi an-raoir?" (Kaw uhn KEU-ra shin KAW-la root uh CHOO-nik mee uhn-royer?) "Who was that sheep I saw you with last night?"
    • "Cha b'e sin caora, 'se sin mo chèile a bha innte!" (Chah beh shin KEU-ra, sheh shin moe CHYEH-luh uh vah EEN-tchuh!) "That was no sheep, that was my spouse!"

I live in WA state, don't ask me about liquor taxes...

IMO, Politicians are just Tax Paid Lickers, of Well-Aged and the Fetid sorts of Rectum Juices.

Cussing's fine if you use it sparingly and time it right to enhance something , just cussing for the sake of cussing makes you sound like a complete moron .
