Seriously, they are only offensive if you allow them to be.

Ok I need a break. Swearing tires me
The reason we don't teach swearing to children is because they are indeed offensive. I don't want kids to be jerks who swears to their parents and everyone around them. If I have kids who do that to me, I won't be angry, instead it will break my heart and the feeling of disappointment and failure as a parent would haunt me for the rest of my life.
Thus I believe the world has become a grey area.

I wouldn't say they are offensive, but inappropriate for children to use. I don't swear in front of my kids. Yes, I have slipped a few times, but I'm no saint and get frustrated no occasion.

Exactly my point. The reason it's inappropriate because it can be used in an offensive way. The words are just words but it can be used offensively. Like, "there's something stuck in your *******" or "you're an *******!"
For me, it's better to avoid them all. I use more subtle words like freaking or crap (I think it's ok) or change it to a different word like "What the fart" Besides, even though I change the words they still know what I meant
When I have kids I will also teach them to do this and let my legacy carry on...
Surcruxum said:Well, some parts that I said was wrong. ALL words can be used to offend others. So emphasize on the intention and not the words. I get it.
So its ok to say "Daddy thinks that you're ******* awesome !" right? Cause it's not used offensively.
