I like your style, Dude, but do you have to use so many curse words?

[Schlenkerla]

Here you go....

 

[Schlenkerla]

Little better.....

 

[Rezilynt]

I've never understood the fascination with...or the allergic reaction to...a string of letters that really mean nothing.

Here's what I don't understand - Why can someone say - son of a biscuit, Gosh darn, dagnabbit, fudge, etc... without offending anyone? We know what they are saying and actually hear the actual words in our head (at least I do)

Exactly. Say the word **** over here and people just think you have some syndrome. Say the word out loud over in the UK and you're likely to get escorted out of whatever establishment you happen to be in.

Taking offense at curse words is a learned behavior.

Then again, the incessant use of curse words conveys a lack of vocabulary and inability to articulate. (whether that is right or wrong doesn't matter...it's the perception).

You know those sports interviews you see on TV where the 78 IQ jock keeps peppering his dialogue with "know what I'm sayin?" and "and uh..." and "ummm"...and "well basically..."

Same thing. Curse words are just filler.

[Yuri_Rage]

****, you'd have to **** all over the whole ****ing place to get me to ****ing care. You're a ****bag, but I put up with your mother****ing ****, anyway. ****** *******.

 

[Jaybird]

Swearing does not f**king offend me in the slightest bit. I spent four years in the US Marine Corps. So I'm not easily offended.

I ONLY FIND CUM BELCHING WHORES OFFENSIVE!

OK I spit out some beer and had to be picked up off the floor by SWMB(FKN)O.... that $#!T was funny

Oh and by the way FK-U

 

[Fingers]

I'm Irish so generally have a fowl mouth...

You mean you usually talk turkey?

 

[EvilTOJ]

They either think we're pissed at each other or they think we have some sort of somethingawful-like culture here and start calling people they don't know a-holes.

Although I do agree with you on sometimes people don't 'get it', I disagree that we're like somethingawful. The other forum I hang out is somethingawful, particularly in GBS. They are much more vicious over there, and their language is rather... hmmm... coarse, shall we say? And don't even get me started on 4chan....

Some people really do overuse the F word. It does seem like it's like a clutch that's not working quite right and needs some time to engage. Now, being able to swear creatively takes talent, rather than just parroting "F this" and "F U" and all that bull****. I like the '************' permutations because it's so versatile. Lately ******-canoe has been my swearword of choice.

That said, screw the lot of you, you knobgobbling thundercu** fu**stick anal nazis!!

 

[AnOldUR]

Wow, I piss you off that much?

Fother mucker, there you go again

 

[Loweface]

You mean you usually talk turkey?

Lol

...I curse up a storm under my breath. Doesn't mean I do it out loud around others.

Excessive (out loud) cursing is a sign of the minds inability to rationalize and work through a situation that requires some mental processing...resulting in an eruption of explicatives to induce some immediate sense of relief from the frustration that is brought about by this mental "stall".

In other words, too many out loud F-words means your brain isn't up to speed.

Plus, you sound like a f@rt knocking, Sh!t4Brains, FeckFace when you do it.

I think you summed it up quite well here... Most of it is filler. Along that line of thought it makes sense that a nationality that talks so fast (say in comparison to most of the US accents) would need that bit more filler (i.e. swearing). I'm sure many of ye have met an Irishman and had difficulty not just with the accent but the speed at which we talk...

Unless you've just hit your thumb with a hammer

I agree here too though

 

[Yooper]

Seriously, as the_bird said, it's not cursing that's being commented on. Not really. It's a seeming general lack of respect that is becoming a problem. It's easy for us who "know" each other to give some pretty good (and I think well deserved) insults at each other, just like at our neighborhood pub. But when others come along and read it, they don't know the inside jokes and it looks like it's permissible to have personal attacks and insults in this forum. Of course, those of us who have been around for a while know it's not ok.

When people are warned about their behavior, but then come back with, "But YOU did that", we have to take a look at it.

Ok, now, let's all join hands together and sing "Kum by Yah". I feel all lovey now.

 

[fratermus]

Cursing is a crutch for inarticulate motherf***ers.

 

[iamjonsharp]

I voted "I'm offended." Mainly because I'm a smartass.

 

[BigKahuna]

He sounded to me basically literally like a right wing foul-mouthed fascist hate monger.

That made me spit coffee.
When I first came here, I thought he was just an Ooey Gooey Squishy Liberal stirring up trouble wherever he went.

Just how lovey exactly? I need to know for my next post.

 

[beerthirty]

If it f***ing bothers them, they don't have to read your f***ing threads!

 

[beerthirty]

Here you go....

Now that post was offensive!

 

[iamjonsharp]

Why, I can even swear a cuss myself!

Diaper biscuits!

Holy crap, that. is. AWESOME. You know you're good when you get polar opposite impressions. :rockin:

And there, master, is the barometer of your talent.

 

[eschatz]

Some people might say that being able to REALLY curse is an artform in itself. Ever hear an old man hit his finger with a hammer? That's priceless.

Fcuk you guys.

Does this mead that Evan! is so "Middle of the road" that all of the cussing is just to attract some attention to his "Vanilla Ice Cream in a plane sugar cone" Mid center views of the world?



Well...maybe not.

Libertarianism isn't the same thing as moderates or populists. I hate the social puritanism of the right, and the economic socialism of the left. I like the economic conservatism of the right, and the social liberalism of the left. Of course, all of this is in relation to their general platforms. These days, they've all gotten so twisted...Barack Obama is talking about giving more of my money to faith based initiatives, and John McCain is a proponent of the Medicare Prescription Drug Welfare Giveaway. So it's easier just to give 'em all the finger. If that's "middle of the road vanilla ice cream on a plain sugar cone", then...yikes.

 

[brauhaus]

i put i was offended as a joke... i don't give a sh!t.

 

[Tonedef131]

Profanity doesn't offend me, but asterisks in place of it bugs the hell out of me. We are all adults here, I don't see why that is necessary.

I like your rants Evan! I agree with you most of the time and when I don't you make me think.

 

[BigKahuna]

My good man...I am afraid that we may in fact think more alike than I will ever admit.
I would take a libertarian President in a heart beat. I think that it is mostly just the conservative movement. Not Right or left...just conservative. I think that the Religious Right is VERY "Liberal" on Social Issues...just for the way they decide that Religious views take president over Personal Freedom.


Oh...Ya..cussing.

Stupid ****ing ****** sucking, renegade elitist catering to the liberal media, making a mockery of the constitution, and playing war games with our soldiers over **** that they have no comprehension of, while trying to pander to the white trash welfare momma in her 2 sizes to small t-shirt standing knee deep in the hurricane water that she was too ******* dumb to get out of the way, standing next to her 400# sister in Pink Moo Moo sucking on a camel non filter cigarette and a 40 of Old English thinking about how they wish they would have voted, but couldn't cause they just can't read, and frankly didn't think that G.Dub would really cause a hurricane to come to their house, **** STICK Politicians
