Bad language and respect - mutually exclusive?

[Spearfish]

I like how this has turned in to a thread about man love and fecal insertion. Quite amusing.
As for the vocabulary, I am reasonably eloquent, grandiloquent and downright bombastic at times. I also am a fan of pleonasm, goodness knows why. Cussing is great though, I love cuss words, they're more fun. Time and place in the real world, but, this, you cunts, is the interwebs and I'll say what ever the fuck I like.
Thank you, give me your keys.

Your as bad as Big Dave at least his work has pictures to rest on.

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.

Fuck off ya big pussy

I would assert that the interweeb has more than a passing influence on the real world and that which passes for acceptable communication online translates into a manner by which people relate to one another offline. The decline in societal standards cannot be based solely on the internet. The language that people use to communicate is not really even the issue I don't think. It is the lack of respect for other's views. I taught my kids not to swear growing up but they still do - they don't use the same prescribed words but the intent is the same. My contention is the expression of disagreement and the apparent lack of ability that people have become used to being allowed to use. Any monkey can fling their poo at someone - it takes intelligence to refute an assertion.

You're still a knob.

Its not that bad...
The "mikeygate" thread (the guy with home made plates) was an example, it started with public opinion and his affect on it then flowed on to right and wrong, visited being staunch and standing up for something, then his friends defended him, a race was challenged, alliances were made then the joking around returned ( it never really left) then the tread petered out.
In that instance I was given helpful advice from Banditbandit not to muck around with the spelling of profanity and by doing so I had unwittingly suggested I had an anatomical abnormality.

Simplified language sometimes works though:


"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." is a grammatically valid sentence in the English language, used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs. It has been discussed in literature since 1972 when the sentence was used by William J. Rapaport, an associate professor at the University at Buffalo.^[1] It was posted to Linguist List by Rapaport in 1992.^[2] It was also featured in Steven Pinker's 1994 book The Language Instinct.^[3]

The sentence can be clarified by substituting the synonym "bison" for the animal "buffalo", "bully" for the verb "buffalo", and "New York" to refer to the state of the city Buffalo:

"New York bison New York bison bully bully New York bison", or:

"New York bison whom other New York bison bully, themselves bully New York bison".

Removing the classifier noun "Buffalo" (the city) further clarifies the sentence (note that the initial capital is retained as the common noun "buffalo" now starts the sentence):

"Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo."

"Bison [that other] bison bully [also] bully bison."

What homophones? I don't see any....They're not there.

Docking.

The delicious act of two men rubbing the heads of their dicks together, with one of the men's foreskin being stretched over the head of his partner's dick. Add a little leakage (precum) from one (or both of their dicks), mutual excitement, rubbing, grinding, heavy breathing and the result is a mind-blowing orgasm for both men.


Alone in their personal sauna at home, Josh and Wayne glued their dicks together with a little skin and spooge and made love to each other's cock all night long...ahhh the joys of docking.

Shit oh dear. There are some things that you just wish you could un-read, you know?

Words fascinate me... I like how they taste when I roll them off my tongue.

But I, much like Master Gijoe, do not generally swear at people. However, if I do, I'd advise taking any sharp objects away from me. And I never say the "C" word... I'm old fashioned, I think a woman should never say words like that. It's bad enough when you boys throw it around like chocolate sprinkles on a cupcake

Placating someone with true sarcasm is a lot more appealing, however, doing it with a simpleton just bores me senseless...So then, I *might* use the odd swear word: got to speak a language the lower specie understands.

hey, there's cupcakes?
