i'm a n00b so i know i'm going to get flamed for going against the grain but personally i don't think there is anything unintelligent about using curse words. sure over using curse words is unintelligent, but so is overusing any word. i think the far more unintelligent thing is our societys taboo that we put on words. the truth is using profanity often does carry more emphasis. for example the phrase "holy sh**" carrys much more ephasis and can be taken far more seriously as an expression of suprise then can most of it's "replacements" such as "holy cow". i think it is the abuse of any word that should be cracked down upon. singling out a few words does nothing to stop the ignorant from being ignorant and does rob intelligent, creative people of a few of the colors in this vast color wheel we call the english language.
