People across the world curse for fun, instinctively, or to get a point across. Though, cursing can come off as unprofessional, offensive, and disrespectful. One argument for cursing is that they make a more intimidating point and are like every other word just commonly unsaid. One argument against cursing is that it can pollute the mind of surrounding people and make them more likely to use bad language and this language can influence the actions people take. Should people restrict their speech? Or should cursing be accepted? Please respond with your ideas on the subject and build upon others.

This is not a invitation to curse in your responses.

I think that it doesn't matter whether a person curses or not. I always joke that I'm fluent in three languages: English, sarcasm, and cursing. Cursing has become a part of everyday language and while I understand that some parents don't want their kids to be exposed to such language, it has become more apparent that at some point in life everyone will be exposed to curses. The important thing is that parents teach their kids that while they might hear foul language, they should not be repeating such words until, as my dad says, they are driving because it is "driving language."

No I don't see any moral or ethical problem with cursing. Using inappropriate language only violates social norms, not any genuine moral code.

No. It shouldn't be restricted at all. Under no circumstances should speech be restricted - and yes I even include discriminatory speech. Even if I find what someone is saying as offensive and immorally repulsive doesn't justify me censoring people and outlawing certain forms of speech, nor inflicting my personal morality onto others.
