Amongst friends, I think it's ok.. what you see as immaturity on this forum could be better described as congeniality, IMO
I also see cursing as an expressive tool aside from the occasional outburst.. almost like a well-placed swear word can denote the "degree" of something.. if that makes sense.. lol, generally speaking it's about "time and place". I wouldn't curse around my mother or use an expletive during an audition if I flub my high note, but if I'm playing ball with the fellas.. shit will be talked!
It's context my friend. There are very few things that are bad ALL the time; I can't count casual swearing among those things since it's always the
reaction to what's being said instead of what's
being said that causes the problem. That "being said" lol, some people do not understand the "time and place" concept.. I swear fore GOD, if I hear some punk say the N-word on the subway ONE MORE TIME..!! Let's just say I can't be held responsible for my actions...
