Cussing- Downed by many religions, but does an atheist thinker think the same?
Personally I cuss all the time, really can't help it. Just want peoples thoughts on it, does it make you sound stupid? Some times is it actually a good enhancing word to your statement or question? It is considered a sin to many religious people, but here, where we are clear headed thinkers, does it seem like a morally wrong thing to do?
P.S. it's my first post, stupid thing to ask? If so please say so, over time I'll judge whether or not i should shut up or not on this site.

Just some fun ideas for how to insult people better or express your emotions hahaha I avoid cussing around nit-picky people that would just irritate me if they "caught" me cussing. But if they are being real idiots I will cuss freely and with very little censorship of my words to them. It just depends on if they won't get the message any other way. My priority is to communicate clearly using any words available in the language that the person will understand.
So like when I was in Korea I learned some of the basic cuss words just so I could make myself clear if someone was being stupider than a stupid head. hahaha Sometimes silly or lame quasi-cussing can be just as effective as mature adult level full-force cussing. I'm a gradient or spectrum kind of thinker so I don't see things as just right or wrong, good or bad etc. I have to see or feel the big picture/full context before I decide the virtue/value of something or not. Just decide what you feel happy doing and then do that. People will like you better if you just present your honest self to them and if they still don't like you then they can just die in a fucking volcano. :)

That's a good question. Definitely worth asking. I find swearing (cussing) particularly effective with certain types of people. You can usually tell which people will freak out if you swear gratuitously, and which people will just take the swearing as emphasis points.
The downside to using swear words often with one group of people is that you tend to continue using them when with the other group of people.

Watch some George Carlin vids. The man was brilliant and cussed like a sailor.

Personally, I can't understand why anyone finds it objectionable. I just can't wrap my head around it. It's the most ridiculous of taboos in our culture.
