I curse too much. I curse pretty much all the time. When I was a kid my mother said that only people with a bad vocabulary curse but that’s not true because I have a very good vocabulary. I just use a cursing word to put strenght behind what I’m saying. Of course I know how to talk seriously and mature when it’s needed. It’s not like I use a lot of cursing when I talk to really old people or on a job interview.

Quite frankly the swedish cursing words are lame. Most of them has to do with the devil. Words like “helvete” = hell, “fan” = the devil, “jävlar” = devils, “satan” = satan, obviously. What’s so ugly about those words? Of course once upon a time in a distant past when the majority of the swedish people actually were christians those were horrible words. But now? I think other languages have a lot worse cursing words. I’ve heard that insulting peoples mothers is quite popular abroad. Nobody says things like “motherfucker” in Sweden.

A while ago there was a discussion on some rotation site about wether members of that rotation should be allowed to curse in their blogs, or something like that, I don’t remember the details. I say that if someone who really find that offensive visit my site they can always leave. If anyone find anything at my site offensive or just dislike me as a person they’re free to leave. After all this is my site with my opinions and my writing. I don’t censor myself to be appealing to a larger audience.

Do you curse much? Why, or why not? Do you find cursing offensive?
