Noo.... bloody is worse than damn, but not as bad as fuck, cunt or shit.
As for the ranking of the last three... they all seem mild to me. I've
heard so much swearing nothing really offends me anymore, but if I had
to rank them I'd say:

fuck < shit < cunt

Combinations are generally more offensive, like "you stupid fucking
cunt!", which should get more of a response than "fuck" or "cunt" alone.
