Cursing

I grew up in a home that didn't use profanity. To this day, I can't remember a time my mother or father has used it!  In those days, it was a big deal , especially for kids to curse, I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it was not the norm. I still don't curse as a rule, but I can understand that a certain profanity can say it all without expounding.
I do use profanity around certain people I know or if I'm extremely angry, which is seldom.
I think the point of using profanity is to make another feel lowly and unworthy, but I see it as a statement made about the person using it!
Profanity is intended to make people feel uncomfortable and I think, to mask what a person is really about.
People curse so much these days, its almost considered mainstreamed.
Sometimes, it's just not appropriate (or is it ever)!
