I curse pretty regularly, if not all the time, myself. Its just over time become habit as a part of my language. Now, I don't walk around talking like I'm Jay in a Keven Smith film, but I curse my fair share.
Sometimes I use the curse words, others I use their derrivitives. I really don't see how saying "darn" instead of "damn" is that much 'better.' You might as well be doing it and spit it out rather than tiptoe around saying a different word that is basically the same in spelling, sound, and effect.
I also realize that what society deams as vulger changes over time. In time as these become more socially acceptable, or at least less socially offensive, cursing will find a way to evolve along with it.
And I have a poster on my wall with a picture of the Hindenburg going down and "SHIT!" printed in foot-tall white letters along the top. It cracks me up every time I glance at it.
