What's your view on profanity?

[OtterMan68]

I #$$%&ing love it!

I think it's crude and immature

It can be used in some situations like comedy or a release of anger

Seven dirty words

The seven dirty words are seven English-language curse words that American comedian George Carlin first listed in his 1972 "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" monologue. The words, in the order Carlin listed them, are: "shit", "piss", "fuck", "cunt", "cocksucker", "motherfucker", and "tits"

At the time, the words were considered highly inappropriate and unsuitable for broadcast on the public airwaves in the United States, whether radio or television. As such, they were avoided in scripted material and bleep censored in the rare cases in which they were used. Broadcast standards differ in different parts of the world, then and now, although most of the words on Carlin's original list remain taboo on American broadcast television. The list was not an official enumeration of forbidden words, but rather were compiled by Carlin to flow better in a comedy routine. Nonetheless, a radio broadcast featuring these words led to a Supreme Court 5–4 decision in 1978 in FCC v. Pacifica Foundation that the FCC's declaratory ruling did not violate either the First or Fifth Amendments, thus helping define the extent to which the federal government could regulate speech on broadcast television and radio in the United States.

I don't give a fuck. It's just words. Why would you give words the power to hurt you? And, today, EVERYTHING is profanity!! You can't say, shoot, shot, sex, racism, racist, penis, vagina, and a whole slew of other VERY common words that now get bleeped out across the board!! It's fucking ridiculous!! Pretty soon, we won't have ANY language left!! We'll have to go back to grunts and, even then, we'll have to watch what we say!!
In the meantime, you can now say, shit, bullshit and asshole on t. v. without getting bleeped! Even weirder is, when we COULDN'T say, "asshole" they ALWAYS bleeped out the "hole" part instead of the "ass" part!!

Profanity is just more words. No extra reason to exclude them, no extra reason to include them. They're as useful as any other words.

(And they aren't just for men, that would be fucking stupid.)

Bad language is the first resort of a limited vocabulary.

[katiesmuff]

There are places for some situations where it can be used.

[jshm2]

Depends on circumstances, but it's the crutch of a weak mind to solely rely on it.
