Are you personally offended by 'swearing'
 

With the exception of racist/sexist/homophobic ones, are you personally offended when a person uses a swear word? Just curious as to everyone's opinion as someone brought it up in another post.

..no, not at all, it's just the different way which people express things and in terms of TV programmes in general..?..if it's known that there will be a huge element in it then someone who would be offended should probably consider not watching it or accept that it's something that has to be overlooked etc and detached from....

No, not at all,I see little need for it but no it is commonplace now.

..oh sorry, I only mentioned TV programmes because I didn't check which section this was in and thought it was part of the BB section..:laugh:...but no, swearing doesn't offend me but working in an environment of a school though, I do have to talk to children as to why it's socially unacceptable in certain environments....

Nah I love a good swear

Swearing doesn't offend me...I prefer it when people can get their point across without the need to swear for no reason but I don't get offended.....

That's just ****ing ridiculous Annie

:joker:

No I swear all the time.

Don't be so ****ing rude you ****ing ****





Only joking :love:

:laugh:

Swearing doesn't bother me, I do think there is a time and a place for it though.

..usually Claudia's wall is the best time and place for it..(or PM if preferred..)..





..disclaimer:...please don't do that....

:laugh2: :love:

No, only if its the C word especially if a man calls a woman it *Marlon*

I think women are just as capable of being the C word as well as men.

Don't be so sexist Pete

Yes I hate hearing people swear

But does it actually offend you on a personal level?

Yes because most of the time it is either someone trying to show off or demonstrating their limited vocabulary.

Any type of swearing doesn't offend me at all, even if its aimed at me, I'd be more offended by the way the swearing was being said, not the content itself

I swear a lot,but I do think there is a time and a place,for eg,I wouldn't swear infront of my parents,my kids or out at a function,I do it infront of my friends mainly and I do think it depents how it is said,do it under my breath a lot and on here

Nah it doesn't bother me

Buckingham or Crystal?

:joker:

No,My misses swears like a mother******.I used to be the same but curbed it when i had a kid.

Dont like swearing.
You hear it everywhere, its not nice.

i'm would not be offended if someone swore in my presence. however, i would be if they swore AT me. my opinion, and i am entitled to an opinion is that people who go round swearing in general conversation, have a limited vocabulary, and probably limited education, and don't know any better

:joker::joker::joker: Stop it,

If its offensive then yes. If its just a mild swear word and its not aimed at me then no.

:laugh2:

I blame lack of sleep for that.

Not in the ****ing slightest.

If somebody sweared AT me Id be offended but otherwise nope its part of human behaviour. Even uptight people who dont swear use replacement words in situations (stressed, hurt etc.) and are essentially censored 'swearing'.

Depends on the context obviously (being sworn at) but generally nope.

**** no.

Doesn't bother me even if it is aimed at me

I dont think hardly anyone is really but you wouldnt know it if you look at the BB board half of them have turned into Mary Whitehouse and become very delicate all of a sudden.

No.

I hate seeing wee kids swear though, or hate seeing adults swear I front of kids or too their kids, it just seems wrong.

I couldn't give a **** about people swearing :laugh:

Nope. I personally have never sworn because I have never really felt the need to, but they are just words and I couldn't care less. Context is the most important thing and non-swearing words can be worse than a generic swear word (eg, personal insults).

Both of my parents swear a lot, my younger brother swears and I grew up with South Park but I have the cleanest mouth ever :laugh:
