Do you think foul language gets you anywhere?

Question

My uncle is as blue as the sky and says it lets people know how he's feeling.

Answer 1

Being rude and swearing all the time gets you absolutely nowhere.

People are always far more accomodating if you take the time to be polite.

cheers

Answer 2

Gets you noticed....

Answer 3

Deffinately not, sometimes it is just needed and ok but for no reason at all or after every other word, just no.

Answer 4

It's sad to see how ridiculous we've become as a society. Filthy mouths and even filthier habits. I often hear complaints like why don't men treat us like ladies anymore. Well, because we don't act like ladies. We've lost all respectability for ourselves.

Answer 5

What one person calls 'foul language' another person will accept as the ordinary word for the thing.

You can call it a 'front bottom', a 'mary', a 'v***a', or a ****.

Some people think that a 'front bottom' is nice, and all the other ones are nasty.

It is the same ******* thing.

Answer 6

Well, if I do swear it's to myself and I always say 'No, I shouldn't have said that' afterwards, don't know why. Just do. Have a good day, Nat :)

Answer 7

not really it usually leaves people feeling negative towards you and likely to give you a big body swerve.Also there are better ways of expressing your feelings through words without swearing.

Answer 8

Sometimes. It depends on the company and the amount.

Answer 9

no not really, but some times makes you feel better,  

Answer 10

It shows a lack of intelligence

Answer 11

Foul language dose make me fell bad inside and NO it doesn't get you anywhere and it dose not make you popular.

Answer 12

It only gets you frowned upon. No need for it in every day conversation and especially in front of small children. Occasionally whilst dealing with the scum of society and moronic chavs then yes it may get you somewhere, maybe A&E , but at least you will be addressing them in their own tongue, they could just maybe listen to you. A good curse in the quiet of your own lav does you the world of good and reduces your blood pressure. If you are not in the habit of swearing and do manage a colourful little expletive when angry it makes folk listen cause they know that you mean it. Swear all the time and no one will care what you think.

Answer 13

it only shows people how you are feeling if you don't use it all the time. if people are not used to you using bad language, when you do use it then they will be aware that your mood has changed. if you just use it all the time then it just makes you seem a bit scummy really

Answer 14

He's wrong.  Both you and I know it and I bet he does too.  It's a sign of a weak character.

Think about it.  Why can't someone say what they have to say without resorting to profanity?
