And swearing is only 'wrong' if you are the type of person that likes to get pissy over a four letter word, really. Personally, to quote John "I couldn't give a rip"...because, really, it's just a four letter word. There's far worse things like paedophiles, murderers and rapists that I would try my best to protect my children from. Honestly, a four letter word that they're going to end up saying at some point in their life is not the biggest of my concerns, nor should it be for anyone. It's not going to kill them...

It's not about the PC brigade or complaining to Ofcom... it's about having manners and consideration for the feelings of others. I happen to quite like swearing, so long as it's being done by someone with a wide vocabulary and in the right company I think swearing can be highly creative. However, thinking you can just use bad language in any situation makes you seem kind of immature.
