Why is it become the norm to use vulgar language..
Use to be we were shocked should anyone "cuss" or use bad words;
Now it's the norm to use them.
I really can't stand them.

It is self expression of how we feel or how we intend someone to feel. It's just a way with words.

It's hard to believe that some words that come out and have
such rough meaning..is how people feel inside..Are they words of
anger?

It could be. How would you express anger other than this way? I know there are other things people can do but this is what they see that other people do and I know monkey see, monkey do. In many cases they don't mean to be hurtful they just express their anger with the words just to vent out. If you listen carefully to the angry person you will notice the tone of voice.

Sometimes by writing or by speaking loudly but
really most of the language stuff really has so many
different meanings..and are so ugly .. that with the tone
makes for a very ugly situation

I really don't know. I try hard not to swear, I can't say I don't but unlike some people I don't do it in way of communicating. I really dislike those types of people who just swear none stop, it's childish and pointless. It would be nice to see it cut down on, as the more people swear the more it's gotten common and I would like my children to be away from it as much as possible.

Hi! Like you I cringe when I hear such words. We were brought up by parents who never use such words though my father was very expressive in anger. I used to think (still do) that these people who cuss lack the vocabulary 
to be descriptive of their emotions.
In our school publication where I am the adviser, I receive articles from youth with a lot of cuss words inserted and I tell them to use and play with descriptive words rather than display a lack of vocabulary with the use of cuss words.
