Because they will be offended, and in this case, I do fear them ignoring me? That caveat was in my post, you'll note.
Everyone makes exceptions to their language when they have something to gain or they fear that the reciever will ignore of think less of them. I never encouraged anyone to ignore this basic fact of human sociology, only that (in respose to the OP's question) some of us don't give a fuck the rest of the time. His decision of when it is "inappropriate" to swear and when it is not is based on his own politically correct interpretation of the world. Frankly, I don't see a problem with saying God Damnit in a church parking lot, and I really don't care that someone would be offended if I did. They're likely not the kind of person I would associate with, anyway.
Further, the OP implied that those of us who speak frankly are "unaware of what we say before we say it," which is patently false. I often know that what I'm saying will offend someone, but I don't give a fuck. They obviously aren't bringing anything politically progressive to the table if they're so concerned about my use of "whore."
They're just words! Stop letting people control you with their verbiage. I swear no one understands anymore that offense is a CHOICE.
