And these children will go on to have their own kids and the whole cycle goes on and on and gets bigger all the time.
The chav culture and chav society is growing and expanding.

Yep, you're right there. I believe swearing can also still make situations uncomfortable because there are some people really offended by hearing certain words no matter what the context is.
Far as words being used like an automatic weapon goes, maybe some of you Limeys aren't familiar with the HBO series called Deadwood. Here's a 'best of' video to sorta cleanse everyone's audio palate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj74tvkFDZI
No idea how many of you know the history of Deadwood South Dakota. Pretty nuts mining town that was a no holds barred kinda place around the 1880s. This series is a bit on the 'gritty' side, as you may have figured.

Count of Undolpho said:I'm still doing my best to train myself not to swear in any circumstances - I have still to this day never heard my father swear and I have to admit I admire his strength of will for it. I started a swear box in the workshop - 10p a go - to do a bit of neural reprogramming which seems to have worked on us all.
I've never sworn in front of the kids though which I'm quite proud of.
In a car on my own - swear like stoker.
