I must be a goddamn genius.
Super genius to be precise.
I don't know that I would agree with that entirely. There are plenty of rednecks and people from the ghettos using horrible language and they are not college educated. I just think they don't know enough about the english language to express themselves any other way. Their vocabularies are very stunted and I don't think some of them can even read, much less spell. I hope it takes a little more than cursing to be considered a genius, or we're in big trouble as a society.

Sweet freaky jesus! I think you might have nailed it. I think it works both ways. If one does have good language skills to start, there still comes the realization that swearing has it's utility, and is simply the most effective method of expressing some things. And also, you don't necessarily have to be educated to have an aversion to swearing. Think of a 'backwards' type with quaint little religious beliefs who doesn't swear.
And people who sleep in and are messy! I have all of them covered!!!
Genius!
Wow, just think of all the genius sailors there are.
Quit fucking swearing in the goddamn comments, assholes!
