As my dear Arrianna so eloquently put it in her post...yes, it's very impolite and if all you can do is swear to show your 'creativity' or 'manage or anger' then I really worry about you. Swearing is the sign of an unimaginative mind and a person who cannot express their thought's clearly. Without those two skills your options in life are much shorter then they should be.

I don't think that cussing sees "pretty" on anyone... but I feel it and see it worst when I hear it from :a child, a little girl and a woman.... those I really cannot swallow.... I think a woman and child's vocab should be the more pure, clean and delicated.

A fitting synonym for "rubbish" is "trash".
E.g. Rubbish bin = trash can

This makes the easy transition to garbage. They can be interchanged. Garbage = Trash = Rubbish.

Which is exactly why I heavily support the practice of finding new, elaborate swearing words.
This effectively eliminates the 'creativity problem' and can result in some stunning new words.

As for me, I try my best to stray away from those few words that people view as being vulgar. I am human though, and have experienced anger in my life. So, you can't be perfect and behave yourself all the time. Not to mention it would make you seem like a stiff, not that I think anyone here is or anything. The occasional slip is fine, but don't make it a habit.

good argument but still I think that even when one is angry one can use more elocuent vocab to say and express that one is really really mad

I see nothing wrong with cussing unless it's at work or church. Everytime I fall down or something I say the F or S word. I don't see the harm in that.

My mother cusses me out and says every nasty thing she can think of almost everyday. She says she does it so it won't hurt my feelings if someone else does it. She's totally right. When another person says the same thing or just thinks they're saying something horrible that would make someone cry. It doesn't bother me one bit. I'm thankful to her for that.

My grandmother told me this story. She said when I was 5 I started cussing this nurse out. She was shocked that a 5 year old could cuss so fluently.

I noticed that religious people look down on cursing for some reason. Does anyone know why that is?

I am religious and look down on cussing. But I do not believe it has much to do with religion. I look down on it because I just don't see what the big "Whoop" of it all is. I look down on fluent cussing. People who curse and just cannot stop. I don't have a problem with cussing every now-and-then, though.

It is more a respectful behavior to other ppl not to cuss....

Okay! Where to begin? There are so many valid opinions, I don't know where to start. How 'bout with the above quote?

Yes, swearing can be considered impolite--keywords: can be--but it's a matter of where you're from, how you were raised, and what kind of people you decide to keep in your life. At the same time, I'm a fan of ecclectic people with a superlative vocabulary. So, where is the line that one must cross, that defines rude and polite?

I was raised in a Christian family. My mom's a f*****g saint! And my brother and sister are avid Christians. I, personally, am more of a spiritual person, rather than religious. BUT (I almost lost my point and started rambling), my siblings--regardless of the fact that they consider themselves Christians--swear their a***s off! As do I.

Hell (can I say that?), I swear more than anyone I know! But I can watch my mouth when need be. I think that it's just a matter of finding that perfect balance between vocabulary and vulgarity. Don't say that it's only acceptable when you're angry, or it's okay when you can't find anything else to say. Just balance your words like a checkbook.

Or just stick to phrases like, "Frickin' A!!" LOL.
