In most cases I agree with you, I disapprove of pointless use of "f***ing" and "f***", however, at times I feel it's a very "good" word to use. Not good in it's own right, really, but more because it reflects reality. the f word is commonly used, and more common in certain subcultures, so if the lyrics reflect such situations, cultures or persons, it'd sound very wrong to me to use a another word that lacks that particular sort of attitude. Lyrics often reflect reality, the f-word is part of reality. Though I do agree when it comes to lyrics where they use to f-word only as a shock factor... that nearly always sound off. But as most things, of course, it's all about taste.

Just my $0.02.
