Part of the reason that swearing is considered a vice of the base and ignorant is because of the topics of conversation that simply are not condusive to swearing. It's difficult to imagine talking about general relativity, chemistry, classic literature, quantum mechanics, etc. and frequent swearing. (So then there was this ***** huge explosion that tore the **** out of the universe. Now all we have are **** four dimensions. Sounds like some stoner trying to be deep while high.)
Swearing fits in perfectly when your discussing how to remove the wheels from you trailer home, telling locker room jokes, complaining about the diminishing quality of the drugs from your local dealer etc. So no, swearing doesn't equal ignorance, maybe it's just a byproduct of the lifestyle that breeds ignorance.
I don't swear, I don't need to swear to express myself. I am perfectly able to express displeasure, pleasure or anger in other ways.
