I will still continue to fight swearing if I can.
Why have you chosen this hill to die on? Swearing harms no one, and makes talking more fun. I honestly take an aversion to swearing as a sign of immaturity.
The fact that you resort to swearing is immature. I ask the people I'm around to not swear and the people that know me know my thoughts on swearing.
Resort? That's a weird way to put it. I don't even think about swearing. Sometimes "fuck" is just the perfect word for the job. Hell, pretty often it is, because the word "fuck" is so versatile. Nothing beats the literal poetry of a well placed word, and face it man sometimes that word is "fuck". Fuck fuck fuck
Get fucked.
How would you do that
By punching it. If you hit a word right when it's coming out of someone's mouth, you can hurt the word itself
I ask the people around me to not use such harsh language. Most people are more than happy to comply
This is harsh language that offends me. Stop using it
Very fucking cool story.
