Really makes you wonder why "Swear" words, ever became "Bad" words in the first place. Did someone just use the word with an angry tone and someone else decided it was bad. S**T, stands for "Ship High In Transport". Due to manure building methane in ships and them exploding. How in that case did it become a "Swear" word. F**k came from "fricken", or "to strike" in German, how the eff does that become a bad word?

You know, the cursing doesn't even bother me. In fact, I liked that it was there, as it seemed to add to the darker flavor and tone of ME2. And this is coming from someone religious. So no, not all of us religious folks really get all bent about it. They're only words, and this is only a video game (but my, my, some of the guys in it are yummy looking 
), and I'm a big girl.
I think Bioware did a good job in putting them in appropriate places for characterization, fitting the moment, etc. Jack talks the way someone with her past should, while some of the other characters don't curse as often as it doesn't 'fit': Thane, Samara, etc.
Star Wars didn't use curse words because it didn't tickle Lucas to write it in such a way. But the EU books have no such pretensions. There are curse words used at times, and some words that I take to be 'Star Wars 'verse' equivalents of the f-bomb, and such, from the scolding some of the characters get from using them.
I don't mind if they add a toggle, doesn't bug me one way or the other. I just don't really see the sense in it, unless your children habitually watch you play, and in that case, headphones are great inventions. Also keeps out the pesky phone ringing sounds in the middle of important story dialogue.

I actually tend to view excessive cursing as incredibly immature. That's one of the reason I'm not too fond of Jack. Cursing is generally pointless, but it can be used to convey feelings and what-not, or be used in humor, as in Robotniks last line in Awesome the Hedgehog.

There is a censorship option - its called not talking to Jack! One more reason that Jack should have been made optional and not mandatory (leave her to die on Purgatory). It would have been an in-game way of limiting profanities.

It's called being "unclassy", classism still exists as a shadow in the modern world.
