Why is cursing concidered bad?

I don’t get it. What is the difference between crap and the “s word”? They mean the exact same thing, so why is one more acceptable than the other? I personally don’t care if people curse, but some think it is so offensive… why!?

Cursing is the art of causing pain and misery to another being. It is mostly done as an act of revenge, though it has been done in spite, or simply to eliminate someone who has gotten in the way.

Curse words have evolved through the centuries and have been dubbed as socially unacceptable. Curse words are generally used in a derogatory manner. Now, in a personal conversation, curse words can be very acceptable. But, in public areas, curse words are unacceptable because they tend to intrude on other people’s Religious or personal rights and beliefs. Especially if the public cursing takes place where children are present. Cursing also comes from people who are not educated enough in a language to use proper, and acceptable, words to express their opinions. I personally abhor cursing in public.

At times cursing is fine. Among your friends that talk the same as you.

Too many of you use very bad language no matter where you are. That is offinsive. It shows ignorance. Wise people know when to and when not to. Ignorant people just don’t have sense enough to know mucn of anyuthing.

The Brits are very bad about using foul language any place they go. Yes most are ignorant.

Crap has alternate meenings (dice game), but s–t has only one. It’s a free country, so use whatever words you want, but just as you wouldn’t wear a bikini to a dinner party, use the right word in the right context. Language is a tool; learn how to use it to your advantage. Knowing the difference between when to drop a humorous f-bomb and when to say poo-poo will pay dividends.

I think crap is curing to. If I don’t want my kids to say it, I don’t say it. I think if you curse it shows you are inconsiderate.
