hernameescapesme View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 30 May, 2010 02:21 AM Is it me or does it bother you when someone you're dating swears like a sailor( or maybe less). Do you ladies find it to be very unattractive when a guy can't control his tongue? Personally, I can't stomach it when a "christian" girl cusses. I know we all have an opinion about this....

Brandy774 View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 30 May, 2010 10:08 AM Well would it be strange to know I can't stand cussing at all? I use to cuss alot before I was saved. However as my walk with Christ gets stronger and stronger ..cussing is like nails on a chalk board to my ears. Everytime I hear someone cuss I think of a situation that happened a few years ago. A friend of mine, who cussed enough to make the devil bush, asked me to help her stop cussing. Anyway we were at a tire shop while I got new tires for my car and she let the f word rip. I looked at her and said "Mary my momma says ladies do not cuss". The woman behind the counter said "that's not true I cuss all the time". I looked at her smiled turned back to my friend and said "remember LADIES do not cuss" :ROFL: Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 30 May, 2010 10:56 AM I personally do not cuss. Ever. The worst words that have ever come out of my mouth would probably be "gosh," "heck," "shoot," "dang," or "darn." :angel: As for a guy cussing, it would really turn me off to him. There is just no reason to cuss. Post Reply
View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 30 May, 2010 01:11 PM It makes me uncomfortable when people use profanity. I'm around men all day long and they curse like sailors. I have learned that people use profanity because they dont know how to express themselves. It is also a sign they have anger issues. So, no I wouldnt date somone who constantly uses profanity.

View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 31 May, 2010 02:09 AM I think cussing shows a lack of vocabulary, but I try not to let it offend me all that much. I heard about a sermon someone gave where they said the word dam, and then said that we (Christians) cared more about the fact that he just said that word than we did about the fact that we won't see some of our friends/ family in heaven. I will say something if the person can't say two words without cussing or if they use the Lord's name in vain. Post Reply
DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 31 May, 2010 06:12 AM I just think this whole thing is kinda silly personally. I never got the different levels of "badness" that certain words have over others. If I started using a word as a cuss word and enough people joined in...suddenly it's a bad word? However...that's the way society views it...vulgar...so I don't do it, and I do think it's kinda an impulse control problem. People that can't control or don't care about what they say...I do think it's a bad character witness, but I don't think it's necessarily a "sin". "Taking the Lords name in vain" means something completely different. It's supposed to mean "don't become a child of God unless you're serious about trying to become/obey what God asks". Christians are the usually the only way for non-Christians to see God's character. "Thou shalt not misrepresent God"...is more what the commandment means. "If you're going to claim to be a child of God...ACT LIKE IT!" But really...cussing or using stuff like "Jesus Christ" as an expletive is a bad character witness to a society that views it as crass...so...it all comes around... :peace::peace: Post Reply
View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 2 Jun, 2010 10:21 AM I had alot of friends in college use the F word all the time, and I was uncomfortable, but I eventually got used to it. They asked me why I never swore, and I told them its just something I dont agree with and do. To me, if you all think about it, they are just words, and a bad/vulgar meaning/though was applied with them. If that thought or meaning werent applied, than I doubt they would be bad today.

View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 3 Jun, 2010 12:29 AM Having been in the Army I know a thing or two about cursing. As a matter of fact I can curse in four languages! Cursing is a learned behavior. Children pick it up from their parents and uncles and other family members. It becomes part of their vocabulary and not much thought is given to it. It is only when they change their "Perspective" on Life are they able to control their cursing and eventually stop it. No true Christian should ever curse and they should (with much Love and Kindness) voice their displeasure and the reasons why one should not curse. Also, we should think about words we use to "replace" curse words. Are they not really just Euphemisms for the actual crass curse word? Are we not just "Cursing" politely? We need to pray for those that still curse and Lovingly explain to them why they should not curse. Steve Post Reply

I think that will have to be left to discuss in a whole new thread though.... Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	Cussing! Posted : 3 Jun, 2010 05:14 PM I've heard those words called "second cousin cuss words"...I have no idea where I heard it though! When I was a child, my sisters and I were not allowed to cuss, or to use those euphemisms. A cuss word earned us a good spanking (I don't think I ever actually used a cuss word, though) and one of the others (or a "potty word") resulted in our mouths being washed out with soap (I DID use one of those once...just once). Now that I'm older, I might let one of the "lesser" words slip if I'm especially upset, but I still try not to. Fortunately, I work in a Christian environment. No cussing allowed. At all. Not that it would be a problem if it WAS allowed! We just don't do it. Post Reply
