I would say that everyone has a right to curse and use words that they deem appropriate in appropriate situations. Everyone who is old enough to quote and value this perceived right, should also be old enough to understand that you CANNOT (in good conscience) use your rights - to trample someone elses rights. If your cursing can be heard by my mother (or my kids, etc), I
know that it will offend them. That is using your right to curse without consideration for the consequences and that is disrespectful and rude.
No one that I have read in this thread was saying that cursing is just plain wrong, nor were thay saying that it makes you less of a person. Most of what I read were posts explaining that there are certainly situations that require restraint for the common good.
Failing to acknowledge someone else' rights - just so you can exercise your own rights - is a pretty one-side viewpoint for life. And when I use the word 'you' I don't mean any particular person; I mean anyone who is wearing the shoe that I am describing.
If you want to be respected, be respectful.
