Swear words are words; it's how you use them that counts. Likewise, someone could take great offence to other words that don't count as "swearing." It's like trying to stop bullying. It's not possible. While you can do things yourself to make a difference, that doesn't mean that everyone will follow along. So don't swear if you don't want to, but please don't attempt to persuade others against swearing. We all have freedom of speech, to say what we feel. Swear words are just meant to back up emotions. For instance I could call you a bloody, stupid, homicidal, idiotic, patronizer. Likewise, if I called you a mother-fucking damned bitch, the intent is the same. To insult you (not really calling you those things, just using examples) So, basically, swear words are just words. They aren't always made to insult people, but maybe to emphasize a point. You may find it ignorant and not-very-classy to swear, but isn't that making an intention that you hate swear words? Isn't saying that it's really stupid to write that stuff insulting someone? Does that make you any better than the people who swear? See, people unintentionally bully; There's no way to completely stop it. You may have insulted someone without meaning it. Hell, I may have just insulted you without meaning it.
