wow! i completely agree 100%!!! me and my girlfriend recently got in fight over this exact thing-she tried to tell me how i shouldnt ever do it and how what comes out of the mouth is a direct reflection of heart and how the Bible says not to do it, etc... but i disagree--its not a matter of WHAT word is said but rather HOW theyre said.. to me theres no difference between 'shit' and 'shoot' or 'damn','darn,' and 'dang' except they different level of emotion between them...

i'm definitely going to show her this article and hope she'll at least understand my point of view even if she doesnt agree
