Let the folks answer for themselves.
So far the only answers were that it makes people more honest.

"So far the only answers were that it makes people more honest."


That was somebody giving a link titled that I believe. But that somebody if you notice didn't directly say of that one's own that provided the link, why that person uses profanity and the point of it used.

See, you have to catch those details when interacting with people . Nobody could state the reason why. If you notice as well, I received multiple comments with deliberate redundant uses of it. Just proving its non necessity and idle usage.

One person admitted it was unnecessary and tried to flip the onus on me why I don't use profanity. I don't use it because you who I originally asked, that ducked out of the question gave me no reason to use it.

Guess what, no response. People will respond until you debunk them. Then they'll flee from you, evade you, block or ban you. Some of these people get so emotional at debating they'll block you because they know they can't refute you. When they see you unfazed unmoved by votes and still argue a perfect consistent defense, they see that none of this will discourage you so they do what? They block you out with rating systems and try to block you from messaging and ban you.

But no where in these comments, could anyone give a reason. One person knew a reason couldn't be given and said with profanity, "I don't have to prove ****". While making claims according to an experience touting them as reality. Is the person's point supposed to be more firm and solid and grounded but adding the profanity?

See I suspect this person and many others add on the cursing as a additional phony barrier fortified exterior. 

"I'm using profanity now so it's a signal that things are getting hostile and I'm getting irate so don't continue further in questioning me because you're endangering yourself into a hostile environment".

The body language/verbal and gesture readers probably could concur with this. What happens when people get angry, irate, emotional?

In customer service, irate customers start using all sorts of colorful language. When you think you can't get your point across due to a deficiency in vocabulary, you'll use what you think will strike negatively and in turn can promote even further escalation of hostility.

But things are solved with evidence, the truth, from answers to questions like in court. Justice is not ruled in colorful provocative language. The jury is not supposed to be moved by that.

Why cursing is a bad habit?
Cursing may feel good in the moment, but it has a self-destructive side. Your use of profanity can be a good indicator of your overall stress level and mood. Swearing at others in an argument can be irreversibly harmful. Too much cursing at yourself can create negative self-talk and contribute to your poor self-image.

Yes you'll notice profanity used the most in a hostile fashion and negative condition. 

Case and point by this thread. As you'll see, individuals got super defensive with the "I don't have to prove anything" back off - type of response. With an ultra defensive interaction of "why don't you curse and why you don't and you prove yours" type of a thing.

You'll find these folks can't even explain themselves, why they do or say certain things like having an unknown identity of themselves. When you're just following the crowd, this happens and introspection is lost. 
If you can't explain your own self in erudite terms, definitely retire the profanity.

I explained succinctly why I swear and why I don't trust people who don't swear. How does one prove a pattern based personal experience?  I even gave examples of people who don't swear that cant be trusted and was never challenged on those examples.

You haven't proven anything. Like you say, you don't have to and you haven't.

That's the point, you cant prove your own experiences. So what is there to prove?

You prove or demonstrate objective things which you can't. A person cannot be trusted that uses no profanity is not proven true. 

So nobody is to trust what you're saying just because of your so called experiences.

"Using statistical models, the researchers calculated that exposure to profanity had about the same relationship to aggressive behavior as exposure to violence on TV or in video games. In addition, they found that the more children were exposed to profanity, they more likely they were to use swear words themselves, and those who used profanity were more likely to become aggressive toward others."

I never asserted that my personal experiences were fact, not ever. A personal experience by definition would be ones own opinion.  Are politicians more honest as a whole or less honest as a whole? Add what percentage of them swear?  My personal experience is that almost none ever swear and most are deceptive liars. Is this a fact I can prove?  No. How many people would disagree?

Profanity does not define a persons honesty.

“My personal experience" The key words. This in no way suggests fact or absolute in all cases. Don't know why you have trouble understanding this. All peoples experiences can be  different and many can be the same. Some people never even look for correlation for anything that ever happens to them.

The fact of the matter is, the person is making generalizations based on myopic or subjective standpoints. I believe age was mentioned by this person but the person still has not reached maturity to avoid making an error like that.

When do you ever hear people use profanity in a mellow, kind, ultra positive demeanor?
People tend to use abrasive language which profanity fits the bill when particularly in a belligerent state. A careless to malice state.

Do not make the statement that anybody who does not use profanity cannot be trusted, bottom line.

Otherwise you will be challenged to prove your statement and be shown to be in error twice.

You are casting doubt on your own person experience.

Read what you posted about your personal experiences.
