You certainly are correct, I think, in your comment on the current frequency of "cussing!" Just goes to show you that some can abuse any good thing!!!
Thanks for your good comment!

I can remember when I was young....
...if you gave a really good swearword you felt quite daring (specialy for a girl!) but now it is so common a lot of kids use it for every other word. The result is not only it's lost it's impact but they just sound so stupid!

Right on, Fahola! Thank you for being honest! I think that if more of us Christians would start being a little less "Self" Righteous about such things, and just loosen up a bit, our message would be far better received!
I'll keep writing if you promise to keep reading (me)!

I sure do! It seems there are times when there is
a need to stomp my foot and yell damn to top of my lungs. Nothing else wipes out the felings of anger more effectively! Crazy maybe, but there are just those times... Your post and question reminded me of a story about two of my six brothers. They were about five and seven at the time, ticked off with Mother, she overheard one say to the other as they walked away from the house, "Come on let's go down the street and cuss." And they did! We older ones still tease them about this. Keep writing, God bless,
