Swearing

[Smithy]

Do you or anyone around you swear?

Using language of a kind regarded as coarse, blasphemous, or otherwise unacceptable in polite or formal speech in order to express anger or other strong emotion.

It seems like using vulgar language is the way a lot of people talk, anymore. Bobby and I were just discussing that, and how bad the movies are with several f-bombs per sentence for the whole movie.
It used to be, we could watch a movie, enjoy all of the action and adventure, and didn’t need to hear people cursing the whole time. Now, it seems like that is the only words in some people’s vocabulary.

For most of the world sin is the default setting, and cursing and swearing is their default language. After a time, non-stop swearing loses it's shock value and becomes uncreative repetition. It reduces the users to cookie cutter members of the herd.

It depends who you ask and what decades they are basing their opinions on. Based on the norms of the 1960s when I was growing up, you would say I swear. But based on today's norms, I'm a choir boy. Remember back in those days when in movies and TV if a man and a woman were on a bed, one of them had to keep one foot on the floor? And now they show people gettin' busy on broadcast TV. Times change, but sometimes people's values do not.
