I need some lesbian feminist advice, fancy giving me some ?

:laugh:

Ask my 3 sons! :joker:

I think I have done enough 'owning' for one day - it's Christmas Eve - I have better things to do now!

But you are right about one thing - you do need some advice - a lot of it, I'd say! Treat yourself over Christmas! Might make you a better man/boy!

I have better things to do too. Yeah I guess you got sick of being owned. I get it, it's fine. :wink:

And I celebrate Christmas twice as I also do the Russian one so maybe I'll be twice better, who knows...
For now, don't forget the turkey tonight...oh wait it's you. :shocked: Treat yourself over Christmas as you call it.

FUNNY GUY! Not! Which one are you, by the way - the good, the bad, or the ugly! Know which I'm going for! :joker:

I didn't mean to be funny but oh well, if you take it like this. I'm obviously the Bad one. I'm a nice bastard so anything relevant you can tell me (not your macho chav bullshit), I already know it. Don't waste tour time on me, turkey.

WOMBAI 24-12-2009 01:40 PM

Have a nice Christmas, turkey lover!

'Nuff of the sexist remarks, please. I really don't like that.

Anyway, in reply to Marcs post, "why don't I just stop swearing?". Well, it is definitely not JUST me that enjoys swearing, there are many others that do it too without trying to outwit the filter and it does frustrate me when all I see are asterisks, particularly when I'm reading a certain member's posts, haha. And yes, it IS the principle. I don't feel like I HAVE to swear, sometimes I just want to, and why shouldn't I? Freedom of speech and all that ****.

As I said before, and there really is no use trying to argue against this, just add a filter option in the control we can turn on and off, and voila! We are all happy.

I do see what you are saying Enid - but I have to say that I have felt today like I haven't really had the freedom of speech - the freedom to disagree with what appears to be the majority view - without feeling a bit apprehensive about doing so and without being jumped on (by some) and feeling I have had to try very hard to defend my corner, so to speak! Has been very tiring!

Freedom of speech, of course, is a very valid point - but their are other freedoms involved ie. the freedom to come on a site like this and not have to see a lot of swearing. It is a difficult situation - however I do think your idea is a good one! Maybe it could work!

Enid 24-12-2009 04:47 PM

Of course. If they added this function, by default it would be turned ON so those that are offended by foul language would not have to view it until they manually changed the settings. And then those of us who would prefer not to be restricted could simply turn it off.

The only problem that could arise if this was implemented, is that there would be MORE use of foul language. You know how kids are, if they have access to alcohol, they're gonna drink the whole bottle.

I know - I feel one or two are doing that already. I guess we can only hope that after a while the novelty will wear off - and that will lessen a bit with time.

Oh stop playing the victim you manipulative little thing. You entered into a debate with full knowledge and I gave you a debate. In fact, I made endless points that made perfect sense including but not limited to : The wide gap in the vote ratio you wished to simply pass off, the selective limitations of the filter making it even more useless as some moral compass, and the fact that we know the stars represent cursing anyway making it even more irrelevant.

You are the one who lost your rag and started getting ultra pretentious as you are always prepared to do. You simply don't like it one bit when someone gives you an arguments, lets face it.

I can't believe how you prance around determined to ignore the valids points people are making and instead proclaiming ''Wah wah wah! My kid views this forum. Curses are obviously for rebellious twats. Dick is probably okay but cunt is too far! Wah wah wah!''.

My god you are unbelievable!

I was quite happy having a reasonable debate with reasonable people on a subject of interest to me - before you, so rudely, barged in with all your contrary sniping! We have been there and done that many times before - holds no interest for me any more, I'm afraid! Yes, like you, I like a bit of an argument sometimes - but as you and I will never agree on anything, for many reasons - it is a complete waste of time for both of us.

And you never do that? Seriously, I've lost my patience with you. Your a complete mess.

Thanks for test, I'll add those to the list.:tongue: (some of them)

;)

Shaun 24-12-2009 07:32 PM

I don't see 'bitch' or '****' as swear words, and 'bastard' has factual connotations I guess.

Even masturbation? Come on, it's a legit biological term, isin't it? :bawling:

I can't go around calling people masturbaters for all my days!

James 24-12-2009 07:47 PM

Actually looking at that list again, might not add any of those. Couple are borderline.

:D

I don't even think the F word should be censored. Just the C and N words.

Stu 24-12-2009 07:56 PM

All I care about is the F family really.Take the rest, leave my fucking F's be! I use them all the time but almost never to actually insult someone. In fact you can't really insult someone with that word. Nobody calls anybody a simple 'fucker' over the forums. People just bang about fuck to string other words together and add colour to the sentences because that's the way they are.

I mean ... uh ... they are putting it on to be cool and bring down the system.

You pretentious little prat - I can't believe the garbage you spout. So unbelievably up your own a**s! You just won't let anything drop - will you. You continually rehash an argument until you have squeezed every last drop out of it - all in an attempt to show what a smart arse you are. Don't worry mate I lost patience with you a long time ago. You bore me to tears. Go ****** yourself! As a another member once said - you can start an argument in an empty room. You really aren't worth the effort anymore!

Well considering you told me that I didn't possess the 'sarcastic wit' that Stu has, I think you did insult someone that didn't insult you.

And please, drop that absolutely pathetic argument, it's over with now and if you're going to feel the need to keep reusing it then sadly you're not worth arguing with.

Jack_ 24-12-2009 11:44 PM

Oh, and LOL at your 'consideration to filter them'. You obviously missed Stu's point, the brain still registers it as 'fuck', so it's completely pointless, really.

Talk about see what you want to see! And you are thinking of applying to be a moderator! Backing up your idol Stu! Wouldn't make a very unbiased moderator would you! :joker: Stu would get away with anything!

Well you don't know what I'm like in real life, so that argument is also ridiculous. This is text on a computer screen. Shows nothing of what I am like as a person. As a matter of fact I'd never warn/ban someone who I disagreed with. So yet again, stop being so pathetic.
