****: Swear Words

Why are people so offended by "Swear" words, they're just words honestly.

because they're said with a malicious intent.

they're said to be impolite or offensive, so obviously that's deemed 'wrong'.

Because they're meant to be offensive and offend people with their meaning and w.e

The word itself isn't offensive, the use of it is.

A brick isn't offensive, but if I throw it at you, it's suddenly a problem.

Same thing less physical damage.

that's offensive because of how you used it

if I hurt myself and yelled "****" some people try saying it offended them but you haven't used it against them so they should wind their necks in

if anything I feel like **** is one of the smartest words in our vocabularies

it can be used as a substitute for so many words and depending on how you use it, can convey a huge array of emotions

slang is incredibly clever

I can't say I've ever heard of anybody feeling offended by cathartic swearing like "oh ****!" when you stub a toe or whatever, in if anything it reaffirms to everybody watching that u arent normally so clumsy.

this quote is quite silly really. dont know anybody that holds swearing any higher than famine or w.e

Depends on usage. If you're saying it to someone with malicious intent then yeah it's going to be seen as offensive, inappropriate and maybe unnecessary. If you say it for no reason it's not necessarily offensive, but it shows you lack a vocabulary to better describe what you mean and it becomes inappropriate and unnecessary. That said, if someone is injured, nearly injured or deeply upset I tend to think it's justified to a certain extent.
