Oh ho ho. Yes, well, I'm 16 and if you lived in Finland like I do, you would have heard so much swearing that it wouldn't even bother you anymore, since the majority of the younger folks here swear in every sentence (not me, I'm not that stupid).

cursing isn't a mark of intelligence. Their just words, kids are going to hear them anyway.

if you wanted spellcasting and stealth but no battlesong, you could also make her a multi-/dual class thief.

LOL! I checked your profile to see if that's what you meant, and I'll bet I saw the "User's current time" entry and assumed it was the birthday line.

Well, it could just be changed to "darn it" or something. I just don't really see it as swearing. Then again, I worked on some construction sites when I was in college, so maybe I'm desensitized.
Actually it's not. It's rooted in the word damned, or to damn. Which is to condemn. The only case in which it is a 'curse' is "Damn you" in which the speaker is considered to be cursing the target, however that's a different meaning of the word curse - The "I put a spell on you" or cursed item meaning.
For years it was used as a word intended as an alternate to an actual cuss word. Somewhere down the line, along with many other words that aren't actual 'cuss' words (ie; Hell), some groups started deciding that perfectly good foul language alternatives were cuss words as well.
These are the same kinds of people that go around banning and even burning books because they don't understand them, or haven't even read them.. this practice of condemning would also be called damning, however they've decided that said term is now forbidden.
There is currently a group trying to get a few more "bad words" added to the list, including dang - no I'm not kidding. A word that is perfectly acceptable for hundreds of years should not be damned (condemned) for eternity because one morning a group of people decide they don't like the word. This fate has befallen far to many words. It's not vulgar until a group declairs it as such.
If you continue to wish to make issue of this there are two courses of action you can take. Report me to the moderator, or simply ignore that one instance of a word on which we vehemently dissagree. Damn is only considered a curse in some regions/subcultures. If everyone rolls over and take it on this word, what's next.
If you don't agree with or understand this dissertation please do a netsearch on banned book in the us, and you may get an idea why I've jumped on a soap box.
The movement to declair this word a cuss was started by the same holy rollers that don't read their bibles. If you want to make sure that kids dont see the word Damn you should be trying to get the bible banned.. it's in there an awful lot, in many of it's forms.
Thess 2:12, Rom 13:2, 13;23, Mark 16:16, 2nd peter 2,1 2:3, 1st Cor 11:29, John 5:29, Mathiew 23:33, 23:14 .....
Better not let those children read the Bible! it has cuss words!
Crap is becomming a cuss word as well. It's not. it's an alternative to the S word. It is vulgar, but it is not a cuss. Here are some link, I'm going to stop wasting my breath.

After discovering the starter of this thread was seriously upset about a non cuss I decided to simply ignore the issue and let it lie. However after a PM I've decided a responce IS in order.
