If you browse the forums, you see profanity being used in almost every thread. I'll push the envelope and say at in least 90% of them. What is the purpose of using profanity? Does it help you convey your point any better? Is it because you have a limited vocabulary? Is it because it makes you feel "bigger" than you really are(intimidation factor)? Can you hold a decent conversation without using profane words? Can you go a day without cursing? Better yet, can you eliminate profanity entirely from your speech for the rest of your life?
Can anybody tell me?
What's your take on profanity?
Mainly to put more emphasis on statements. They're usually used to display an emotion, almost always anger. Is it the best thing to resort too? No. But these days, I'll take a verbal lashing over a bullet.

Just jokes man, you can go ahead and curse me out over it if you want.
