When someone is harming you or your family or your land or what have you in an especially immoral way, then hell yes Curse them to the Void I say!

No. I think it's a cop-out to say it's "moral" just to give yourself that out from having to deal with the fact that one has committed immoral or amoral behaviour. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it under any circumstances, just that sometimes it's necessary to do things that aren't moral. But then we get to the point of defining morality and so on.
I think of curses like punching someone in the face. It's not nice, and you don't do it unless you have to, and you might be arrested for assault, but damnit, sometimes people really need to be punched inna face.

To the one that I serve My moral standards dictate that I protect me and my loved ones. I'll do what is nessicaryu. In that regards to me it would be a moral thing. I will give my all

I will give my all Me too, but that doesn't make the curse itself a moral act. Any more than a punch in the face is a moral act, even though in this situation it is the right thing to do. Do you see what I mean?

I see what you mean San-chan.
The idea of it being moral isn't really linked to the idea of it being appropriate to a given situation.
While I would hope I would never want to hurt anyone if my family, home or anything else close to my heart was put in danger I'd do what I could.

I don't think the morality of an act changes just because the situation does (at least I can't think of a situation where it would)
Say in self defence you kill someone who is trying to kill you. Is what you did moral because you did it to defend yourself? I would say no. Was it necessary to act immorally in this case? I would say yes.

I wouldn't say it is moral to curse or hex someone but if I felt like I had no other option I would do it without hesitation.

Sanguina Cruenta Me too, but that doesn't make the curse itself a moral act. Any more than a punch in the face is a moral act, even though in this situation it is the right thing to do. Do you see what I mean? To the one that I serve Kinda. I mean as a martial artists I am trained to avoid conflict. I am trained to avoid using my skills unless absolutely necessary. For me hexes and curses are the same thing. I wouldn't have a problem with using them if I felt I needed to. I will give my all

Cursing, in my opinion, is a healthy way to vent (depending of course on your methodologies). I am skeptical of what it accomplishes beyond that, however.

Thoughts and Memories Cursing, in my opinion, is a healthy way to vent (depending of course on your methodologies). I am skeptical of what it accomplishes beyond that, however. So you think it's just emotional ranting? Call a spade a spade. A curse is a curse, a rant is a rant. A curse hurts someone, and is intended to hurt someone. Might be healthy for the individual casting, but then again, might not.

To the one that I serve It seems to me that even if a hex or curse is done in the heat of the moment (and some are) they are still done to harm people. As for the being healthy I can see it as being a healthy way to deal with difficult emotions. Though I dont think it should be used in that way. I will give my all
