Are swear/cuss words offensive to you?

Some words do but other words like a ss and h*ll don't bother me.

 

swear words do not offend me because they are just words, and sometimes they are even said in a friendly, joking way.

sometimes i can get offended when someone swears at me in a violent and crude way, but the words are not what offends me, rather the attitude and behavior of the person saying them.

so no. theyre words.... like the ones im typing down right now.

 

It kinda depends. I mean, cuss words in general don't offend me at all, but when it's pushing it to the limit and it's directed to insulting me pretty bad, then I throw a fit.

 

Generally, swears don't offend me. But you get people who think they're cool just because they swear in every sentence. >.>

And most of the time swears are said in a way that is meant to be offense. Like 'fsck off' or 'I don't give a fsck what you think'. :/

 

Swearing is so common these days they have lost all meaning, and are used alot out of context, which if you say what the words means in the sentence it makes no sense what so ever.

I personally don't find them offensive, we all say them, you can tell someone to "**** off" and they would care and will just act like they would if someone said "Go away."

I just find it annoying when people say it when there is no need for it to be said. To people it's a way of saying "Look at me i'm cool and adult because i'm swearing."

 

Couldn't agree more. It's not the word itself that makes them offensive, but the meaning behind them. I don't care if my friend is telling me something about their day and throw in a casual "****", "crap", "***" or any other profantities in there. It's when people throw them at me like they really want it to hurt, sort of chew up the word and spit it out on your face, you know? That's when it gets offensive.

Afterall, it's not the way the the first letter alines with the "uck" that makes gives the word such a negative stigma to it. If that was the case, my own name, "Lucky", would be a cursive word in its self. And that would just suck. :P

 

I hear all kinds of stuff at school and I can say I do take part in some cussing(sometimes more than others ^_^)... but I feel like high school kids just dont understand because some of my friends say stuff like "WHERE THE **** HAVE YOU BEEN ALL DAY!?!!?!" and they come running in for like a hug and laugh ans stuff.... but if I said that to like say my mom or something she would probably slap me! Personally, cussing doesn't affect me (I actually like it when used at appropriate times while playing video games ;D) I would never cuss in front of my parents or like little kids or something, but around kids my age its just another exclamation word like saying OMG on the internet.

OH and my view on cussing on the internet, only when its used to start ticking off a loser who's being a jerk ^^ oooor when your using it to say something soo totally amazing (most likely about kh lol)

 

Some cuss words offend me but not all of them...the "F" Word offends me a lot if it is used casually...if a person is hurt or something badly...then I might allow it...but calling someone a son of a _____ is just rude!

 

Absoloutely not, and I REALLY don't understand the people who do.

 

i don't mind them......if they come from adults, but from kids...then i get offended.
cuz i think only adults should say them...and kids never should say the big curse words....like the "F" word for example.....thats just my opinion....

 

Cuss words do not offend me in anyway. Those words are very ineffective. But if someone says something that hurts you from the inside...and it includes a cuss word...then it's REALLY hurts. That's when I get very serious...and let's just say...you don't want to see that person once I'm finished with them.

 

Harsh, man!
I find them offensive if they say it for no reason.

 

I don't consider it harsh. Especially when people do the same thing OVER AND OVER. I gets annoying. Then...that's when I decide...THAT'S ENOUGH.
Tip #1: Never...piss off an Asian person. ESPECIALLY when that person is able to turn ANYTHING into a deadly weapon.

-Edit- Just so you didn't know, I AM Asian.

 

I can turn anything into a weapon as well. Thanks for the "tip" though.
But, still, they offend me a lot when used wrong!

 

i just dislike the strong ones, and the racist ones.:(

 

For me, it's not the words that offend me. It's the context of the words and how they are used.

It doesn't matter if someone who insults you swears or not. If they say something hurtful, you'll know it, no matter what words they used. I mean, what's the difference between someone yelling "I HATE YOU, YOU ****ING *******!!!" as compared to someone yelling "I HATE YOU, YOU STUPID POOPYHEAD!!!" The answer is: there's really no difference. The person is expressing distaste towards you. You can probably tell from the tone of their voice that they don't like you, not just the words they say. The words are just gift wrap for the lovely gift of hate the person is expressing towards you.

Of course, i will say that it's just stupid to swaer around little kids.

 

I totally agree!
It's stupid to swear around kids!

 

Being in high school, you hear almost every swear word like, every day. After hearing all the crap, I've gotten used to it, and it really doesn't bother me. XD

 

I'm not offended by them, but I don't use them because they are a cheap way of expressing yourself, I mean any moron could go (insert bad word here) you.
I mean they are overused and now plain pointless.
But that is just my opinion...

 

The GD word offends me. But I don't mind words like "damn" "hell" and
"***." As long as kids don't learn these words.
