As it pertains to our rules here:
I swear all of the time in real life. I curse probably more than most people I know. I've got a very, very foul mouth. But one thing BM (and this board as well) has tought me was that you don't need to say sh*t or drop the f-bomb to articulate a point. Intelligence studies will also note that people who swear excessively often times have a limited vocabulary or limited intelligence to attain said extended vocabulary. I swear because I like to and because, as everyone else is, I am a product of my environment. The flight line is brutal. You've got to be quick witted and armed with come-backs at all time because we're constantly ragging on each other, each other's wives, sisters, moms, girlfriends, etc.
However, you don't need to continuously swear on a message board to articulate a point, as previously stated.
For those of you who have seen the movie "the Man" with Samuel L. Jackson, if you're going to say "f*ck"...substitute that for "f*ckryin' out loud". It works.
