I suppose in reality it does depend on who is cursing and what kind of cursing they're doing.
I had a European History teacher in my senior year of high school who was keen on cursing. Well, not cursing like "Fuck this" but ocassionally he'd include hell, damn and bitch (at least when describing the French king who let Joan of Arc die). He's highly educated and a good man. I suppose it does make a difference based on who's talking, what they look like, etc.
Hm... Either way, having fuck included in a daily vocabulary I think will always be a pet peeve for me. I only curse when driving mostly, and sometimes I feel like I dope when I should "Oh fuck" or something because it sounds really childish in general.
