It is rare that a day goes by and I don't hear some four letter words. Perhaps it's because I've become more sensitive to the fact but I feel that language is steadily declining and you aren't cool if you don't throw in a cuss word here and there in a conversation. It frustrates me because there are so many good words out there. And when you see an little kid cussing it hits you and makes you stop and think. And then when you ask people around you if they could please stop they usually blow me off and say well I'm sorry but it's a habit. There's a simple answer, I used to cuss and I don't any more/ I try my hardest not to. I want to know if I'm the only one out there who thinks that this is a problem?
Good Job but if u cant stop jst start by tradin out swear words

Yet again, I'm forced to wonder why anyone cares if someone posts in an old topic. Do the souls of Nigerian babies get sucked into space every time it happens, or what? Nothing makes a newbie think of veterans as pricks more than "OMG u effin' posted in a topic THREE (3) yrs old, u effin newb!" or some variant.
This was last discussed THREE YEARS AGO Shiela. Please note the dates on posts, it isn't even worth your energy responding because with very few exceptions, no one from then is even around anymore. It is a much better use of time to think about responses to current threads that people care about at this moment.

Well it's best to talk more carefully, because some people don't appreciate it when kids/people curse around them, like me, and you should show respect. you should be showing respect for people anyway.
u know what there's no use getting offended. coz ppl r real jerks. All these words that u say r troubling can actually be found in the dictionary it's just that ppl took it's wrong meaning and started using as a bad word.

It is absolutely true about cussing and little kids, which really bothers me. But i don't mind it if teenagers swear, only if there isn't a swear word every 5 syllables spoken. My brother used to do that and it was so annoying! ~Jessy
