To say 'never' or not to say 'never'?

It's time for a new blog post. I've been thinking about people who say some, really dangerous words such as: never and always.
Why are these words dangerous?
I think that they generalise too much. We cannot say that a person always behaves in a particular way, we cannot say that he/she never does *something*. In such cases it's not very wise to say that. Although we sometimes say these words while we're arguing, we're never justified.
I think that we flounder sometimes. We make decisions. We outline plans. Many times we say that we will never do something again. Our thoughts may be foolish. But as well as that, they can help us to make out of ourselves better people.
So, do you say never?
