It’s just a [bleep] word. This world has bigger problems and doesn’t need the holier than thou judging at every corner, just like JG, fake ass Christian.
What do you expect ? After all there's a lot of fake ass christians on here. Or piss poor if you'd prefer.

First saw the "F" word at about 4-5 years old, walking down the back street to the main drag where I grew up with Mom and Dad. Maybe to get a pizza or something. Painted in big red letters on a loading dock on the back of a building there. Seemed like letters as tall as I was. I was a compulsive reader even at that age, and was taught "phonics", so I sounded it out in my little kid's brain, then asked the folks what does F,,K mean?
I think I got whacked and some soap to taste when we got home and told to never say that again.
The old man rarely used much more than "damn, Jesus Mary and Joseph, and very very very rarely gotdammit.
Me, I turned pro before high school.
Was working on a car in the driveway of a place the wife and I were renting, maybe a year or two after we got together. I let loose with a string of expletives the likes of which are rarely heard nowadays.
She remarked "I have never heard anyone string together so many different cuss words in one sentence. And it even made sense"
That my fellows, is the way to cuss when needed.

Most of the classy people I know curse very little, or not at all. It’s still a free country. Talk how you choose. Remember, though, that folks will draw conclusions about your character and intelligence based on your use of language.
I totally agree with this.

I know who and what I am, Fuqk'em.
When I was a teen I fell in love with this girl and her father hated me and my long hair, I was never anything but polite to this man and he did everything to break us up. He finally succeeded by telling his daughter that he would never talk to her again if she continued to see me. a few years later she married a guy that beat the hell out of her several times, the last time he damn near killed her.
A few years after that I saw him and made a point to tell him that I had intended on marrying his daughter and taking care of her for the rest of her life but instead he fuqked all that up and damn near got his daughter killed. he hung his head, said nothing and walked away. I sincerely hope he suffered.
I understand she has remarried and I hope she is doing well, despite her father, she was a very selfless and giving person.
Moral of the story is, Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Nice story. Should've had a haircut and a bath, hippie. JK bro'. Your story is familiar, but the girl's dad hated gooks. Ended up knocked up and marrying a two-bit soldier in the Irish mob. Rosanne killed herself with heroin before she turned 40. She was my first love @ 15. Rest easy, Rosy.

People who cruse nearly every time they speak seem like Jr high-school kids in the locker room trying to sound "grown up". Obviously they are not.
They seem very juvenile and unintelligent, as if they were stunted, yet they don't know it and have no idea how idiotic they sound. It's not the "f-word" or some trashy words said when they fit the circumstance that is telling, but the fact they can't seem to communicate without them. I know some boys and a few girls who can't tell you how to make pan-cakes or give directions to a corner market without trying to impress you with cruse words said 1-4 times in every sentence.
It may be other things.......but it's not impressive.
They sound like un-parented 12 year old ghetto rats. As if they aspire to someday be "as cool" as a 12 year old from Harlem, a street rat who could have a father chosen from any one of 70 males who used their willing mother. No one ever taught them any better and they seem to think being that low is an accomplishment. Nothing like "setting the bar high" huh?
I don’t curse around people I don’t know, never around children. I do not say the GD word. It seems like all my friends curse, men and women. I seems hard to express how I feel without an F bomb thrown in.
HUMANS Swearing Is Actually a Sign of More Intelligence - Not Less - Say Scientists RICHARD STEPHENS, THE CONVERSATION 2 FEBRUARY 2017
The use of obscene or taboo language - or swearing, as it’s more commonly known - is often seen as a sign that the speaker lacks vocabulary, cannot express themselves in a less offensive way, or even lacks intelligence.
Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language.
While swearing can become a habit, we choose to swear in different contexts and for different purposes: for linguistic effect, to convey emotion, for laughs, or perhaps even to be deliberately nasty.
Psychologists interested in when and why people swear try to look past the stereotype that swearing is the language of the unintelligent and illiterate.
In fact, a study by psychologists from Marist College found links between how fluent a person is in the English language and how fluent they are in swearing.
The former - verbal fluency - can be measured by asking volunteers to think of as many words beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet as they can in 1 minute.
People with greater language skills can generally think of more examples in the allotted time. Based on this approach, the researchers created the swearing fluency task. This task requires volunteers to list as many different swear words as they can think of in 1 minute.
By comparing scores from both the verbal and swearing fluency tasks, it was found that the people who scored highest on the verbal fluency test also tended to do best on the swearing fluency task. The weakest in the verbal fluency test also did poorly on the swearing fluency task.
What this correlation suggests is that swearing isn’t simply a sign of language poverty, lack of general vocabulary, or low intelligence.
Instead, swearing appears to be a feature of language that an articulate speaker can use in order to communicate with maximum effectiveness. And actually, some uses of swearing go beyond just communication.

New Moderator?
Let's not be silly - moderation not a mode around here most of the time. Maybe try reading just what is there - the inquiry is simple - asking about motivation and any expectations.
What's it worth? Typical article from some Psycho - first para sets an assumed stage ("it often seems") and second para opens the gambit ("studies have shown - - - may in fact") and then on to the theory presented toward convincing.
