Cursing: A bad thing or a release?

I use to curse, swear or say 'bad' words when I am mad or sometimes when I am disappointed about something I did not get. People would look at me with disgust when I unintentionally curse aloud. What can you say about cursing, swearing or saying 'bad' words guys, a bad thing or just a plain release of feelings?

I have done it in the past from time to time but never in public. However, when I hear a female talking like that it sounds so ugly and so unlady like. It has made me learn to control it because it really is disgusting to talk that way.

Lol. Funny coz my boyfriend too used to tell me that it really is unlady like. But I really don't think it has to do with being a female or a male. Generally, it is disgusting whether a female or a male curses.

Yes I agree it shouldn't be spoken from either males or females. However, it seems to be a bit more accepted when a man speaks that way. I know I don't like it from either genders.

I honestly feel that cursing dumbs you down and is not at all classy. However I still do it (more than I care to admit) but I'm working on it. I do think there is a time and place for it though (like traffic)

Very well said. Another time like when internet connection is so slow.. Or when you're badly in need of cash and all ATM's nearby are offline.

Generally speaking, I don't like cursing as a part of casual language. When I was a teenager I did curse quite a bit. I went to stay with my sister and she had three small children so I curbed my language and found alternative words to use. I will still curse if I get really angry or like stub my toe or hurt myself accidentally, but that's more of a slip.

Yes, this is so true. I watch my words very well whenever I'm with my nieces and nephews. They tend to copy what they most often hear from adults. I was surprised when I heard my 2 year old nephew mouthed a not-so-clear 'f' word when he heard that from tv.

i think cursing or shouting loud in dirty words are not a polite behavior..more than that its not good for u either.the words u utter have an impact on your mind.dirtier the words u use more is the flow of negative energy.if u keep on cursing things,the ability to tolerate simplest of mistakes is lost n this leads a man to think ill of world n gradually pushes him to depression.slowly u start loosing out evrything..so regardless of what u loose or what has happened to u,speak good.. temporary release of feelings locks u in permanent soup..
