Default 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....

..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.....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....

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.....

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

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

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
