Mostly because it's a rare occasion when I actually do swear on the internet. I just don't find it necessary. Especially when there are so many other ways, better ways actually, that I can find to articulate myself. I don't have to reduce myself to using vulgar and unintelligent sounding words to get my point across or my opinion out.
I think that when someone posts anything using profanity it makes other people less inclined to hear them out or even to continue reading. At least that's the way it is for me. Because dropping an "f- bomb" instead of explaining why something is so horrible, or why you don't particularly like something, just makes you sound angry and uneducated.
Now that's a bad move.
In today's day and age reputation is everything (like it or not). What you post online can negatively effect any positive and critical opportunities that lay ahead in your future. Things like which colleges you're accepted into, what jobs you're hired for and any possible career moves.
When you post anything on a social networking site, be it twitter or Facebook or any of those newfangled internet sites, just make sure to be careful what you say. You can always delete it, sure. But it will be out there, and you don't have as much control over who can read it and who can't, than you think.
