On the other hand, from a non-german speaker perspective, German is, for lack of a better word, aggressive. Cursing in German sounds definitely more meaningful than cursing in, say, Italian.

A couple of months back, a bank failed in Italy. On a news piece, a lady was cursing (really cursing) at bank owners. It was one of the most aggressive speeches I've seen. Yet, if you listened to the "music" alone, it was an incredibly sweet speech.
