"You are fined one credit for violation of the verbal morality statute"
Honestly, I think this all comes down to knowing your audience. Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but I try to curb my language if I'm in 'polite' company.
When it's me and my friends, I cuss like a drunken sailor.
Fining and jailing people for it is ridiculous, though. If we fined and jailed everyone who showed a lack of tact and class, we'd have 20x more overcrowding in the jails than we already do.
If it only serves to reduce it from using curses as punctuation then I'm not worried. The issue comes when career prudes use it to gain leverage that I start to object.

Most people grow out of it.
When I discovered swearing I started making sailors blush. Now I tend to only swear when I am giving emphasis to my words.
