THere are no such thing as bad words, only bad intentions, butt and ass mean the exact same thing, so why is one worse than the other, it isn't, people are just told it is and accept that. So I say be free with your language, but be restrictive in your insults, words can only be as bad as you make them. -

Look at the street racing topic, 3 posts in and that fun loving "Harakirii" has already cussed the creator of the topic. Maybe its just me, but its slightly boring now. StupidGit doing it was quite funny, but now everyone seems to copying his style of posting.
To address this, we need to understand something about Git and I, and that is that we were once just like the rest of you. Normal, decent human beings. After a brief amount of time on the Danimation boards, we got to praising each other publically for the vastness of our intellectual capabilities. Then, after jumping at the site of his "Anarchy" avatar, I managed to find his AOL screen name. We made private contact, and fucked each other for months, while spreading our thoughts on the Dnet forum. I suddenly had a large fascination with the European culture, as they are much less conservative, and dare I say it, "moral." So in our talks, Git and I would become less and less proper.
Our egos got larger and our vocabularies got smaller. "Fuck, piss, shit, ass, hell, Chauncey Gardner, sperm, scrotum," and a lot of other vuglarities would plague the forums, and people started to wonder what the hell we were doing. But there was a lot of meaning in them, as they were all disgusting metaphors for everyday things. However, people got repulsed, namely fags like Buster, and they began to diss us condescendingly. And ever since then, Git and I have had to be the shit-guard for everyone that communicates differently.
And we get insulted.
Even my mother insults me for cussing.
But, people communicate differently.
Some people are different.
And, in order for most people to grasp that, we must go to the extremes of using 20 random "swearing" words in succession. So, while most sit on their high-horses, saying shit such as "Cussing is unintelligent. Cussing is unnessecary," they simply give our cause more purpose, and rather than making 20 cuss-words per post, we go to thirty.
At the same time, people can argue against the overall "quality" of Harakirii's posts. For the most part, you people here at NE are intelligent and accepting individuals. Now, I can go over Danimation and begin on another "Prying open my third eye"-a-thon, but, as most people know, Danimation has turned into a clean, conservative, straight-flying, family place, with an army of concise, decent, hard-working moderators as an intelligence-buffer zone. Therefore, I get bored. My purpose on this earth is not to have intelligent conversations on a public level, but to offend and open the hearts of arrogant idiots. I have meaningful conversations with individuals. And those, are few and far between.
So there you have it. If I offend people, or detract them away from my posts because they are shit-laden, then I apologize.
Not really, though. You aren't missing anything. Although, this post was pretty good. Be sure to IM G-Rocks and tell him how good I've been. Maybe then he'll let me rape him and is mother in the ass simultaneously with a double-dildo. -

Yes the swearing is a huge problem. I showed my friends these forums and they flipped. -

Heh. I still posted during the time when they removed post counts. I post because I enjoy it, not because I like the post count. I also dont think that having a high post count makes you popular, if anything it makes you less popular. I dont think of it as work, once again I enjoy it, I wouldnt have been around the site so long if I didnt. I give alot of my time to NE and I hope that I can keep on doing that and I really see no point for you guys to complain about. I think that the community is going stronger than ever. Oh well. Oh and next time Posix dont but words in my mouth, please, assuming things makes an ass out of you and me.
[font="tahoma"]You are being pathetic![/font]I agree, i mean....watch
shut the fuck up u low life peice of shite
i mean...i mean....look at me!! doesnt that^ make me look big??
[font="tahoma"]That's wrong and neither is swearing something that should create character. Believe me, if you add flavour in a normal (or nice) way I won't think you're immature, childish or whatever. I will think you have a good character. See, what you do comes out as quite the opposite from what you wanted. I beg you, stop it ![/font]but cussing just adds flavoir to the post
[font="tahoma"]Wow, I've never seen you writing that much.Most of the posts and threads on this site have nothing to do with NE or RCT but does it have too?
Anyway, I never said that topics have to do something with RCT. The thing is, there aren't much interesting ones left. The last I can remember was CoasterEd's discussion about architecture. Quite a while ago, isn't it?
[font="tahoma"]Do you actually think that a high postcount autmatically means you get a good reputation? I hope you don't. This whole disease that you want to be loved and praised by everyone destroys both, the quality of replies and the quality of parks. Whether parkmaker or the kind of guys you described (and I exclude Mantis here because he just isn't like that), none do their "job" for themselves. You do it to get a higher Postcount (because you think you'll get a better reputation), parkmakers do it to get praised. Whatelse is the AD? There've been so many parks looking all almost identical but in a way that non-NE-parkmakers (who are the people posting the most) will like and praise it. It's horrible! Originality has gotten so rare, it scares me, really.Also, about the whole thing where everyone is worried there rep, well they should be. In the case of parkmakers they work really really hard to get there. In the case of people with high post counts IE Me, Mantis and the others in 1000's we worked hard to get here, and pour alot of our life into the boards.[/font]
I have a question. How did you survive the time when they took away the postcount? Do you enjoy posting after all? I mean, you consider it as "work", something that bugs you but you have to do it in order to get something back.
I have to say you are disenchanted with it.[/font]
[font="tahoma"]I may remember you that iris was often very frustrated with the site and even wanted to close it down. Do you really think there are many things they could do about the lack of reply? They are trying as mean as hell if you haven't noticed but it's only slowly getting better.[/font]iris and Adix dont need to worrry about the boards everything is doing just fine, and if it was such a problem that the annoucenments dont get enough replies I think that they would do something about it.

I dont really know what that means so I wont comment on it. I know its hard to translate crap, youve said it before. Good times. -

Does anyone else agree this thread has more spam and bullshit in it than most threads in Free Speek do?
Raven already had it right, people aren't going to stop swearing because you say so. Or whatever he said. Just live with it. Damnit. -

Creator, are your friends churchboys who suck up to their parents?
I swear. I don't care. You can suck my cock-a-doodle-doo-a-doodle-doo-a-doodle-doo-a-doodle-doo-a-doodle-doo-a-doodle-doo if you want me to stop...iris obviously doesn't have a problem with swearing on these boards, or he would've shut them down ages ago, or banned so many people that there would be none left. You have all sweared on these boards, I garuntee it. How do you spell garuntee? Lol.
For once I actually agree with QOTSA: WHO GIVES A FUCK?FUCK
What're gonna do? Sue me? Be my freakin guest. And yes, I'm being an asshole...but its only temporarily. -

So basically, you said you haved too much sex at a young age to be mature!I'm too young to think like that. I'm too fucked up to know better.
That's not adding flavor, that's just confusing yourself and making prayer the only answer to your comment. If you took your statement by definition, people would read you as a sad, confused child prostitute.
Marshy, swearing isn't acceptable and in most cultures and religions it's considered a "sin," to lend reference, although in Christianity, swearing is a sin.
Thorp, his friends aren't all church boys, but I'm sure they could give you the fist. And no, I have never spoken a swear or discriminatory term in a forum, and if you want a list of people at this site that haven't cursed, you can start with the two dozen people on my buddy list... -

But WHY is it a sin, there's no legitimate reason swearing is wrong
"My ass hurts,"
"::gasp:: watch your mouth, say your butt hurts,"
"But there the same thing,"
"So, ass is a bad word,"
"So why isn't butt a bad word?,"
NO good reason, people are just pussified by there parents and teachers into thinking people who swear are fuckin heathans, and that just isn't true. I think swearing can be overdone, but there is no good reason to exclude perfectly good words from my vocabulary, cause religion, or teachers, or parents, or whoever say theyre bad, when there just NOT, if you don't take offense at them, they lose there harmfulness and blend in with the rest of the English language. -

If you want a bold reason, then that would be the Bible.
If bad words do not exist then you'll agree that the world has no discriminatory words, racial slangs, and stereotypes? You have nevered lived then. Try growning up outside of the masses, the drive behind these simple words has given them the reputation of fear, disgust, prejudicy, hatred, and insanity. The meaning behind swearing is using abusive, violent, or blasphemous language against someone. In most religions, swearing is to make an appeal to God in an irreverant manner; to use the name of God or sacred things profanely; to call upon God in imprecation. Everytime you swear, followers take that as a lash against God, that goes for Christians, Muslims, Jews, and many others. However, there is another lesson that you must learn about this. The stigma associate with swearwords can be seen as the negative force that gives swearwords their foul role. -

That's what you said SFK, I just read it... which might add, was a mistake!
Flavoir?!!
Is that a new type of foul French?
Sorry, haven't heard it before... -

Vert, I don't remember there EVER being a diddy about swearing in the Bible. If you find ONE, I'll bow down to you.
