I do not like swearing, but would not dream of telling others to stop it. However, by my systematic circumscription of situations where others would swear, I found that others became increasingly self-conscious with swearing when I was around. That's why I supported the response by muasif80, which I fully agree with. | |

Ultimately you have to draw the line somewhere, but why should that line be drawn after swearing instead of before it? That's not really clear from your answer. Although frankly trying to justify the swearing seems mostly off topic. The idea that you probably can't change it because it's part of the culture is fair enough, but that has little to do with whether swearing is "right". | |
