Welcome to Gaia! ::

that is completly wrong. words are not just words. they are ment to mean something. thats why we have different definitions for each word. curse words are words ment to be used to hurt or insult someone. and they often have a very innapropriate meaning. those words should not be coming out of childrens mouths. its not right. it shouldnt even come out of an adults mouth.never. because your kids hear you say it so they think its perfectly fine. kids immatate what they hear from birth. thats how they learn to speak. a child who is around well educated people and people who use big words then they will probably grow up toi be very smart. a child who grows up around nothing but curse woeds and prfanity will use them when they get older. because thats all they no. when a baby is born, there brain is like a sponge. it absorbs things. and it will remeneber curse words. so if you have to. its best not to use those words aroung children

When I was younger, I would always feel hurt when I was cussed at, more than if I was called any other name. I would also feel offended whenever I heard any curse words. I'm not really sure why; was it because they were labeled as bad? I don't know.

But now I'm used to them, and they don't offend me in the slightest. This is possibly because I'm around friends who use them everyday, but not insulting people. I guess it's just the context.

So I think they're completely fine, but some people get offended if you mix in religion with cuss words. Ex: OMFG! That, I can understand and I still don't feel right doing.
