I hate it when people over react to swear words. I totally understand that some people really don't like them, but if someone says "damn" or something, I don't think anyone should freak out.
I'm one of those people who believes that words really do have power, but I also believe that those horrifying "bad words" aren't going to hurt anyone. If no one made such a big deal out of them, they wouldn't be so bad, right? Just what makes them dirty? When you're little, you say "poop" all the time, and get a huge kick out of it. Shit means the same thing, right? I just don't get it.
I'm one of those people who doesn't swear every sentence, but I do swear when I'm annoyed, and sometimes when I'm around friends who swear a lot, because it's really not a big deal then. But I have other friends who really don't like it when I swear, and I make note of that and very rarely do so around them.
I think it starts to sound very repetitive when people use a "dirty" word twice in a sentence, like saying "um" in every sentence. But I really don't think it's anything to fuss over. I really, really don't.
I wonder what would happen if people didn't tell their children not to say these words. They'd probably just be like any other word, right?
I don't even know why I'm posting this. I just find it annoying when people get mad at you for saying damn. It's just my opinion. What do you guys think?

I rather agree. Like the word 'bitch'... it really means nothing more than a dog. So who decided that calling someone a bitch is so much worse than calling them a dog? Pretty dumb, to make such a big deal of it...
Thank you!
It quite annoys me when people shun someone for saying something like that. -.-
Heh, I'm kinda against swearing, like, it just bugs me. I think its becuase of...the way things happened when I was growing up. I've been against swearing since I was tenish.
Everyone at my golf camp would apologize to me every time they said anything remotely swear-word-ish, which got annoying, but still.
I'm sorry, Icey. A lot of people feel the same way. Love you! ;)
