    Can confirm, am American and try to avoid swearing, not because there are penalties (friends, coworkers, etc swear all the time), but because I don’t like swearing. I find it makes me an angrier person, so I just don’t do it.

    If you want to swear, go for it, it really won’t offend me. But I won’t swear in return. Different strokes for different folks.

      There’s so goddamn much to swear about in these fucking times we live in that I really respect anyone who can still hold their shit together enough not to.
