[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just sounds wrong, and it's vulgar. And vulgar things coming out of a little child's mouth is just wrong.

I swore like sailor when I was younger. I try not to swear in front of my MS/HS children, and in return, they respectfully not say those words in front of me. I know they say it, just not in front of me.[/quote]

I hear it's vulgar all the time, but never *why* it's vulgar?  And you need something more than your mother said so.  [/quote]

Vulgar is just an opinion pp. It meant whatever it is is offensive. The reality of the world and our culture is that a lot of people find swearing vulgar and so part of growing up and raising kids so they can be successful is to ensure they know what's offensive so they can learn to edit. [/quote]

Sigh.  OK, so you've defined vulgar as offensive, which is also just an opinion and offers nothing to answer the question.   So now, why is swearing offensive?

Also, as for being successful in life - you are under the impression that successful people don't swear?  I think you haven't been around many successful people.
