Bad language and respect - mutually exclusive?

**Colapop** · 14th July 2011, 12:08

Interesting to me, that in the time that I haven't spent on here of late, the language of the place seems to have deteriorated. Is it a general lack of respect for another person's opinion or just a lack of ability to formulate an intelligent response? I generally try and at least * letters within 'swear' words but even that is probably the same thing. Intelligent well reasoned argument, comments made in jest and sarcasm really aren't well received (or understood) by many round here these days it seems.

Up to the reader init

Easiest way is to interpret everything as an intelligent response if possible, if it isn't take the piss where possible. If neither of those things are possible, time to log the fuck off

It has been said that an infinite number of monkeys, each with a typewriter, given an infinite amount of time, will eventually write the script for Hamlet ...

The internet proves this is false.

That's just it isn't it? It's part of everyday language and accepted.
You see two guys cursing at each other in the street and before too long there's a punch thrown. Is it the anonymity of your keyboards that make it easier to posture without the need formulate anything intelligent?

Cry me a river! Actually, if those who never met you was effing this and farking that ... I would laugh if they could ever say it to your face!

But, yes, degeneration of manners is something that seems ever more prevalent int today's society(?) I for one, only ever use the harshest of swear words when I am really really rarked up (so it is usually a clear indicator to those who know me that I am really POed!)

Now get in the kitchen and cook some eggs!

The language of deterioration has the ability to formulate an intelligent response!!

"Fuck fucking fucked fucker fucking fuckups fuck fucking fucked fucking fuckup fucking fucker's fuck."

The fucking sentence is un-fucking-punctuated and uses eleven different readings of the word "fuck."

@ gijoe1313! I never hurt no-one I liked!

In you line of work, you'd notice more and more a link between unruly behaviour and bad language?

I was once told that people who swear a lot have poor vocabularies.

I think it was a school teacher, I think he was right.

Sir, I call your bluff:

Don't try and tell me "Because the Maori are the native people of this land" BULLSHIT. They are migrants here like everybody else. If you want to argue semantics, the Mori Ori should have their flag flown. Where are the Mori Ori? Oh that's right when the Maori came here they waged a war against the Mori Ori and virtually wiped them out. Ate them didn't they? But that's different to the European 'invasion' because the European didn't commit genocide (arguable point - maybe they tried?)
The point is that we have in NZ a country that is made up of a number of different peoples from different cultures the world over. The country (infrastructure, society, culture) was built from the blood, sweat, & tears of these people. We have a very proud history that encompassess a wide range of cultures and yet we give great respect to the Maori culture - the Haka, Maori place names, and funding for Maori cultural/education programmes. It's not about bagging Maori people they have a right to their cultural history, but so does everyone else in this country. Fuck the devisive shit stirring cunts and their attempts to make the rest of us treat them with kid gloves...

Now fuck off.
