I feel sorry for you that your vocabulary is so limited you have to resort to cussing to express yourself :(

I'm not the OP bit this seems a bit silly. I don't have to curse to express myself.
Do I curse? Yes. I was raised with curse words being used just as often as other words. Cursing is normal top me, and honestly, I don't see what's wrong with saying "fuck" or "shit" or whatever curse word happens to ocme out of someone's mouth. I'm just as likely to say "What the fuck is that?" as I am "What on Earth?" And goodness knows when I babysit I revert to saying things like "good golly miss molly" for some unknown reason.
I doubt the OP is saying they, or characters on television, need to swear. Rather I feel that they think it would be more natural (in their opinion) for a specific character to curse.

to* and come*
Apologizes. I don't know how those slipped by me.

Because (American) society tells us those are bad words. You know, like we should hate gays and shun people with disabilities.*

*In case anyone thinks I'm being serious, I'm not. I'm just trying to point out how people can say we need to change the way society thinks, yet hold on to the notion that WORDS that really have a meaning anymore should be avoided.

I think the difference is that words like 'retard' and 'gay' are applied to people personally, used as an insult which hurts the feelings of those who the word applies to, who really have no choice in being what they are, whereas 'fuck, 'shit,' and 'damn' apply to no one in particular.

As far as words like 'bitch,' cunt' and 'dick,' yeah, because again, they apply to someone who can't help their sexual organs, I can see why people get offended, and I try not to use them in a way that offend.

But then again, you're probable one of those people who thinks that 'political correctness is getting out of hand,' don't you?

i have called men cunts before and I have called women dicks, for me, the use of either word has nothing to do with the anatomy it reffers to and everything to do with the flow of word and how it works in with what I was saying (which is actually why I have a tendency to call people cunts a lot more the k sound in dick ussually feels weird with what I'm saying).

I also don't get why if I call someone a cunt I'm sexist, but if I call someone a dick I'm not.

"Good golly, Miss Molly" is kind of amazing. I always like "Oh my great goodness," for some reason.

Isn't it?
Seriously though, the kids I babysit swear more often than they have ever heard me swear in front of them.
I realized once they started toddling around I couldn't just keep biting off words so I decided to sounds like I was stuck in the 1920's for some reason :p

Yeah, I take some obscure joy in using decades-old exclamations, because I often feel that if you get a phrase that's foreign or dated enough, it can often have an impact similar to modern profanity, due to how much it stands out, except with a little bit more classiness than your standard "what the fuck" or "holy shit".

Ahaha, I love the swears that come about when babysitting. I'm a profanity machine, which makes it hard not to slip when I'm around my younger siblings, so I always end up with "what the fridge is that?" and "I don't give a fig-roll".

Yeah, more or less. But I have some other potentially pertinent information!

So here's the thing about cursing that is actually quite fascinating. For some odd reason, the words that we learn as "cuss words" are the words that elicited a hardwired response in our brains. We are programmed, as animals, to curse. So far, research points to our amygdala as the origin of this response. (That's extremely interesting because even for people who have "lost" the ability to feel emotion due to damage to their orbitofrontal cortex, communication with the amygdala remains unaffected. In fact, the amygdala even lights up when they curse) Furthermore, cussing is considered beneficial when the right situation permits it. So for someone who doesn't normally cuss, the use of such extremely emotionally charged words can do a lot more for someone than saying "cheesy toast" or a bunch of other neutral words. Cussing can even increase someone's pain tolerance. Like everything, it should be in moderation. But! Cussing is an important evolutionary quirk that we've retained from our mammalian cousins because sometimes, it's much more effective to let just a few words convey your emotions.

Jonah Lehrer and Steven Pinker have written much more about this, and they're both worth a read for a better explanation.

Go suck an ovum. Through your gastrointestinal outlet.

How's that for expressing myself simpleton?

The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest or -is just a fucking lunatic- Stephen Fry

The only reason you think this is clever is because Stephen Fry said it.

I feel sorry for you that your worldview is so limited that you have to resort to judging other people's language to make you feel superior.

When I swear, I give a great deal of thought to what I am saying, and often there is no substitute that conveys precisely the meaning I want to convey. I grew up censuring my speech for religious reasons, and I can't tell you what a relief it is to be able to express myself without worrying about 'bad' words.

Example:

"Fuck me harder!"
sounds ever so much better in the circumstances as,

"Have sexual intercourse with me using more force!"

"He's an ass-kisser." has so much more impact than,

"He's a buttocks-kisser."

"That's bullshit!"

Is so much more clear than,

"That's bull feces!"

And, "Dammit, Jim, what the hell's the matter with you!"

I somehow don't think that, "Goodness! Jim, What is wrong?" Would have become the catchphrase for Trekkies that it has become.

Oh, and Shakespeare; " YOU ARE AN ASS!"

Somehow, I don't think that saying, "You are a donkey!" would have been as memorable.

x,D
this is amazing!

"Have sexual intercourse with me using more force!"

Dammit anon you almost made me laugh out in the library.

I lol'd. This comment is amazing.

THIS. SO HARD.

why is using a perfectly good word a smirch on a person's vocabulary? fuck is a perfectly good word with plenty of good uses for it. it's the outrageous attempts to avoid it that come off foolish. oh fiddlesticks!

I've got quite a large vocabulary, but I curse a lot. This is because, having such a large vocabulary, I am able to easily asses that there is a power and impact in curse words when used well that does not exist in other, more mundane synonyms.

i'm sorry that you are a fuckhead

Cursing expresses emotional activity, not mental activity. It's a response like screaming or sighing or whatever.

English literature major here!

And guess what? I swear like a sailor too.

But it's nice of you to assume that everybody who cusses has a limited vocabulary. What sort of backwards, early 20th Century logic is that? "Only people with limited vocabularies cuss. You know, those gosh darned lower class people."
