All the reason to SWEAR, in moderation of course

Scientists have discovered that uttering swear words can help to lessen the feeling of physical pain.

Dr Richard Stephens, who conducted the study at the university's school of psychology, believes it may explain why swearing is still common place in languages around the world.

He suggests that swearing could have evolved as a way of raising aggression levels and reducing the feeling of pain to allow our ancestors to flee or fight back when attacked by predators.

He said: "We think it could be part of the flight or fight response. In the volunteers who swore, we also found they had an elevated heart rate, so it could be increasing their aggression levels.

"Increased aggression has been shown to reduce people's sensitivity to pain, so it could be swearing is helping this process."

I always had this stand- "swear when you need to but nothing more". A lot of youngsters think there's nothing wrong with swearing and that swearing is cool. I think it's just plain ugly and crude. I'm willing to forgive rabid swearing in the event that you stub your toe or got run over by an errant cyclist but I'm completely unprepared to forgive people who use "F**k* in every sentence they utter.
