Cussing does not make you immoral.

Of course it doesn't make you immoral. It is often a symptom of an already existing lack of or laxness of morals.

I would argue that an intentional lack of cussing denotes considerable immorality. Cussing is about the best way possible to express honest emotions; and hiding ones emotions is a form of dishonesty. Habitual dishonesty is generally accepted as immoral.

I do not trust anyone who is unwilling to express their true feelings.
