When it comes to managing pain, in particular, a scientific study from British scientists says that cursing can actually help.

The study will be published in the August issue of NeuroReport which is a journal that specializes in neuroscience research. The study involved subjecting volunteers to limited amounts of pain and then having some curse while others did not. Those who cursed, the study found, were able to withstand more pain longer.

Volunteers who unleashed their curses also had elevated heart rates, which could mean that their aggression levels were also increasing. Other studies, according to Dr. Stephens, have already shown that an increased aggression level reduces a person’s sensitivity to pain. As such, the study indicates, swearing may be part of an overall pain response by increasing aggression levels.

Obviously then you may have to do better than 'dork'.

Awesome, though... this means that as we teach our children those naughty words we are actually being more humanitarian than CPS would have us believe.

some say cursing is the sign of a weak mind. I say sometimes you have to speak the language that idiots understand.

It's for the good of the children.

Children shouldn't be cussing because they don't have the expierience of discerning those that are idiots from those that aren't. Therefore they might mess up and use foul language when not needed.

....but children are taught to 'shock and awe' their audience just as too many adults aim to do....
