I use "colorful metaphors" (as they were called in Star Trek IV) a little more than the average bear, and I feel that censorship only adds to the general frustration already existing in society. On top of that, if we examine the origins of the attitude towards these words in English, we find that the attitude grows out of socio-economic and cultural prejudice (see Normans vs. Anglo-Saxons) and what can only be termed puritanism. That's enough for me right there to carry on using such words.
