And some sandwiches I eat have tomatoes in them, so I just pull out and
ignore the offending vegi. Doesn't mean all sandwiches are bad and should be ignored. (this metaphore and spelling brought to you by 1am) [View Quote] wingMay 12, 2001, 12:38pm

Why don't we all just stop swearing in the newsgroups? No one wants to hear
anyone saying cuss words when they read posts. [View Quote] wingMay 12, 2001, 5:30pm
Go away kiddie, sometimes "vulgar" language is the only way to get your goddamn point through some people's heads. If you're too
young to hear someone say a word, than you shouldn't be here. [View Quote] moff piettMay 12, 2001, 6:28pm
If swearing is the only way you can communicate a point than perhaps you
should sit down with a dictionary and learn some new descriptive words. I'm not for the banning of "cuss words", but overuse of them is just, uncivilized. wingMay 12, 2001, 6:30pm
Unfortunately with some lower lifeforms in this group, they are a part of standard vocabulary and are a neccessity for them to
comprehend. [View Quote] moff piettMay 12, 2001, 6:34pm
It is a good attention getter. But then again my philosophy is if they need
to be sworn at to understand a point, then they arn't worth the effort to talk to. Such uncivilized and low class people... why can't be all just be lovely and nice to eachother, and have an increased yearly steel output... that would be nice. birdmikeMay 12, 2001, 6:38pm
It's impolite to use language like that Wing. I understand your anger
though. But it actually makes you look like a foul-mouthed kid when you talk like that. [View Quote] tony mMay 12, 2001, 6:41pm

Hey MP, tell me if this is good enough for you. The reason we don't use big
words is because you little kids don't understand what they mean. It is impossible for us to have a colloquy so we use improper language because it is terse. We are not bludgeoning you when we do it, we just need your attention. If you will make a covenant to not be so immature then some of us may agree to stop with the language. Otherwise shut up. wingMay 12, 2001, 8:01pm
Exactly. A foul mouthed kid that knows his stuff. If people would just lay off the idiotic AWTeen junk and chuck and company would
GET THE HELL OVER IT I might have a chance to share knowledge with the rest of us instead of participating in lame flame wars. [View Quote] moff piettMay 12, 2001, 9:20pm
Huh? What are you talking about? I suggested we ignore posts we don't like
instead of starting a huge flame war/argument every time and suddenly it's turned into a debate on how swearing is nessisary due to kids not understanding big words?? Kids don't understand uncommonly used "big worlds" so it's ok to swear.. huh? owww.... My poor little brain just can't take much more of this sort of logic... I'm staying out of all these emotional charged personal debates and sticking to simply reading for news. The kids can keep on flaming, the early teens can keep on swearing, and makaveli can keep on substituting big words for a decent argument... I'm going to back to focus on steel production, cement apartment blocks, and general lovelyness. m a k a v e l iMay 12, 2001, 10:19pm

Why do you keep refering to me as "you kids" ? or is my brain overloading

I know it would be nice NOT to hear any CUSS words in the NGS...
But i have yet to seen a GENERAL AUDIANCE NGS [that is NOT the KIDDIE GENERAL AUDIANCE ONE] not use CUSS words at some time or another. Yes it would be very nice... But that is why there are something called Moms & Dads or Older Brothers & Sisters or Older Friends or Child Guardians who can OR SHOULD keep any CUSS words away from the really younger kids that may wonder in here. But since this NGS is certainly not Romper Room... It is pretty much certain that sooner or later some tiny tot will have to cope with some of us SO CALLED nasty at the mouth types in here. Maybe we all should get into the BROADCASTERS habit here... When you are about to say a really nasty word like BLEEP you use another word or the word BLEEP in it's place... Us older ppl's will understand what that BLEEPED word might be... But some kid might not understand and that way you would protecd some kid from reading my BLEEPING comments or anyones elses BLEEPING comments either.

You could try to see the newsgroup postings more like a
letter than like a street brawl, that would help choose a more intelligent way of conversation. Even flame wars can be fought with respect for the person you want to flame. Using swear words is NOT a way to show that you are very wise or adult. Not using them is not a sign for beeing immature but it shows that you think about your posting instead of letting all your emotions run wild. Even if I am very upset about someone I (at least try to) stay respectful. It does not always work but most of the time. And be sure that my time as a kid is long gone.

Why don't you just crawl back under that BLEEPING rock you came from you
BLEEPING jerk. Us BLEEPING people don't need to be talked to like we are some BLEEPING bunch of kids... Something like that... Gee... I don't need some BLEEPING dictionary to say that... Just some BLEEPING sence not to say the BLEEPING words. moff piett <piett at home.com> wrote in <3afdd572 at server1.Activeworlds.com>: >Why do you keep refering to me as "you kids" ? or is my brain overloading >with community NG logic again? m a k a v e l iMay 12, 2001, 11:51pm
I was not referring to you when I said "kid", I have used maybe one word
that was inappropriate this whole time I have posted here. I consider myself to be mature for the most part. [View Quote] birdmikeMay 13, 2001, 12:17am

I know that you did not, but as I do not want to use or read
lots of swear words that would make me be a kid in your eyes. Partially not really wrong, I sometimes feel like a child when I play with avatars - but not for the reason of not using "bad" words *g [View Quote] -- "_ | /\ \ / __/ /_ m a k a v e l iMay 13, 2001, 12:01pm
Oh, well you are one of the person I respect most in this NG. You and a
couple others are the most mature in here. [View Quote] m a k a v e l iMay 13, 2001, 12:13pm
I am an idiot now? What have I done to make myself an idiot? I said some
things that were towards the real idiots (Chucks Party, JFK2) I am starting to think you are the weakest link? Agreeing with a few people doesn't make you a big help. I used "descriptive" words as well as "big" words, the term "big words" doesn't mean anything different than "descriptive words", it doesn't mean they are actually longer or anything like that, just means they aren't commonly used words, because there are other words that mean the same that are more common. Off topic but I don't want to repost. In past post you agreed that wing was a "foul-mouthed kid". Prove it. One or two swear words does not make you foul-mouthed. I am sure you have used one here and there. [View Quote] moriaMay 13, 2001, 2:48pm

Until you realise thats not the case, you will remain an idiot. Theres some very big words (big means long) that are not very descriptive, and some very short words (not swear words) that are very descriptive like "red" ,> it > doesn't mean they are actually longer or anything like that, just means they > aren't commonly used words, because there are other words that mean the same > that are more common. > bzzzzttttt wrong. > > > Off topic but I don't want to repost. > > In past post you agreed that wing was a "foul-mouthed kid".

Well, if you are going to complain, then leave the NG. No one else who is
mature seems to care about it besides Ananas, and as you can see in a past post, she/he DID state a reason that was logical. You insult most humans on Earth by saying they are immature for swearing. Most people on Earth including yourself has sweared once in their life. That must make you immature too huh? <snip> Many people I know will resort to swearing in private, but most people have the common decency to not inflict their immaturity on others in public. <end snip> |
