Top Ten Reasons Swearing is Not Okay

The Top Ten
1 It can hurt other's feelings

Sorry, but even though you tend try to avoid swearing, it will inevitably come to you at some point. If you flip out over a swear word, you won't really go anywhere in life. Welcome to the real world.

People who are offended to easily aren't even offended by cursing

People who swear tend to also watch porn from what I've noticed.

This list is a joke. Only really sensitive people

2 It's a sin

First homosexuality is a sin, suicide is a sin, masturbation is a sin and now swearing? What's next? Listening to heavy metal music is a sin?

No it's not you ding-dong! It's a because! (I hate math)

So is homosexuality, but they're cool people.

Not everyone is christian.

3 It will defame your friends, school and yourself

I'm 12 and the only swear word I use is the A word(You should know what it is) and I find it strange that many kids that are 10-14 years old so basically kids close to M age are swearing so much.But if you actually get offended by swearing then no offense but you're kind of oversensitive.Still find it weird though that many kids my age are swearing way too much though.-DarkBoi-X

Kids in my school swear a lot. I swear a lot but not as much as THEY DO. Even I can get annoyed by hearing the F or B word sometimes.

You will be known as "The swearing king" in your town, awesome huh?

If you are in Elementary, that is

4 Swearers are cringy

Us swearers (The majority of the mature world) find this list cringey

This is a great list for children who swear

Gangsta rappers aren't cringy

5 It is unnecessary to swear

I agree with rosecandymusic, I sorta picked it up and never put it down. I only do it when no authority figures are around though.

I've never seen the point in swearing. It just makes you look and sound ridiculous.

It's an expression, I know it's unnecessary but some people can't stop swearing

6 It can get you detention at school

At Elementary School, in which if you are still there you shouldn't be on the site

School rules are strict. That's why. I even got suspended for drawing a dick on the Teachers head. GaH.

Only if you live in a christian school

7 It is associated with sensitive topics

Those are slurs like racial and homophobic slurs, not ordinary swear words.

You are talking about actual SLURS. Not normal curse words.

Most of the swears are about sex, equality and religion.

Only racial and homophobic slurs.

8 You will be rude

Rude? I've seen people with sugar coated saccharine vocabulary consuming those who didn't speak sugary words.

Swearing doesn't not make you a rude person unless if you're swearing directly at someone.

It's not rude unless you're using the words to insult someone.

Only if you Insult Someone. (Unless if you're Bender)

9 It sets a bad example for kids

Then it's a bad idea to swear in front of kids. Only if you are alone.

DOn't do it in front of kids then. They'll eventually grow up.

Don't swear in front of the kids then

Most people do it in their lives

10 You could become a bully

You can become someone mean bully if you swear

What? How does that make you a bully?

I have lots of friends who swear

Because there bad words

The Contenders
11 It makes people not want to be your friend

I would never be friends with an oversensitive person.

I don't want to be friends with a oversensitive person

I don't want an sjw crybaby as my friend anyway

12 It will ruin your life

I'm not the swearing type of person but I don't see how this ruins your life...?

How does a single swear word ruins a people’s life? Okay you must be extremely sensitive to swear words then.

13 It makes you look bad

People who agree with swearing makes you look bad must be a bigger hypocrites themselves and they judge others too. Most people swear a lot and no one is to control them and react in a pure childish manner. We are all a human beings with the right to make our own choice.

In this environment, it doesn't

14 It's an overused thing

Which is a good thing.

15 Because swear words are not nice words

How is it equivalent

16 It will make people mad at you if used offensively

The only offensive swear words are racial and homophobic slurs by I don't get affected by thise.

The only one that's offensive is the n word

Just the n word is offensive

17 It makes you feel bad

Is it wrong that I feel great when I swear. The expression man!

No, because I'm not a sensitive idiot

If it doesn't, see physical therapy.

Why would I feel bad?

18 It makes you look like an idiot

If one person knows 500 regular words and no swear words, and somebody else knows 490 regulars words and 20 swear words, the latter person knows more words (do the math).

Only if you use them every 5 seconds

19 It’s offensive

Swears are not offensive, slurs are.

Just the slurs are offensive

20 It can cause you to make a bad first impression

I keep my curses at a minimum, my impression is either you are family or never family, we bleed the same blood but folly can't save you to your death & demise, you have written your story, I was attempting to help, god makes no mistakes & mistaking god erases your previous purpose. your first impression of individuals are your sword & shield, gossip will lead you to limbo, die in limbo you failed for transforming the person you weren't supposed to, a failed god can't win for failed gods recklessly decided to die mortal never to turn

If you swore in front of me I wouldn't really care.

I don't care if someone swears in front of me

That will be if police found our
