Words like s--t, c--t, f--k, b-----d, b--ch, I don't think they should ever be used. They're just too negative. I have no idea how words become vulgarities, but since these are currently the most powerful, they should be the ones we stop first.
Words like 'hell' aren't as bad, but I don't think they should be used, unless they are referring to the place. The word 'damn' is the only acceptable one, I think--not to use all the time, or if you accidentally spill your cheerios--it carries a lot of weight.
