If they sat down and really thought about what they were saying, they might not want to swear so much. It is crude and impolite and shows a very poor grasp of the English language.

Thats not true. I curse rather frequently and I've got a pretty good vocabulary and have had some very good grades in English, especially creative writing.

You can't be arrested for PEACEFUL protesting. It's fair to arrest someone for throwing eggs at Gordon Brown and yelling profanities at police.the monk in question wrote:If they sat down and really thought about what they were saying, they might not want to swear so much.

You're right but excessive swearing is definitely inpolite.

Nah, I don't think so. If you gotta use certain words to express yourself and say what you feel about somethin' then I say fair enough.

I find swearing offensive when used against people and pointed at them. Nobody wants to get curse words flying towards them and if someone does have an issue with me whether it be a disagreement or something else, I expect a level of maturity and if someone is shouting and swearing me, I'm just not going to bother to respond to them.
