Bow to me then. I found this online.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.
-Prov 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. -

Argh.
You're not understanding my point. At all. I don't mind the damn swearing, what I'm trying to show is theres a use of it and overuse and in my opinion swearing, by some users (mainly wannabe StupidGits and Harakirii) is just puerile, childish and pathetic.
I thank Harakirii for his input and his decent sized post. Its his choice whether to swear readily, it doesn't bother me, as long as hes displaying an argument or otherwise. Its the people who spam with complete and utter crap that annoys me. I mean, if somebody posts a screenshot of say, their house, you don't post a quick reply with something like "your house is a fucking dump man. I can shit homes better than that, you cocksucker".
I mean, its common courtesy not to swear/cuss people.
Would you cuss/diss a random person in the street for wearing pink flip-flops? No. You may laugh and/or smirk but you wouldn't shout from accross the road "fucking fag! Get shower with the men you fucking shitdick!" (I'm not saying gay people wear pink flip-flops, merely its a gay stererostyle to wear pink)
Anyway. Continue with your meaningless bickering children. -

You know what? I think it's truely pathetic that you guys here go on like this. Even more so, I think that the leaders here are terrible. You actually encourage this filth and you think that you are in control over these forums?!? That doesn't add up in my book!
The members here are cruel, evil and full of hate. You guys need to grow up, get lives and start to do something constructive instead of constantly knocking others down - like wolves - savages. It's sad. Truely sad.
Grow up NE! -

^ See you don't have to swear to get your point across! Why don't the rest of you try it out? -

The Bible is very clear on this point: "But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No,' lest you fall into judgment" (James 5:12 ).
Jesus Himself said, "But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one" (Matthew 5:34-37 )
This scriptural instruction is not meant to imply that oaths by themselves are sin. To emphasize that we mortal human beings are often powerless to fulfill even our strongest intentions, God commands us not to swear by His name in any oath. Failing to fulfill an oath would be taking God's name in vain, breaking the third commandment (Exodus 20:7 ).
Therefore, a Christian should simply say "Yes" or "No," according to what one honestly believes to be true, even in legal matters. Truly, this should be a sufficient guarantee of honesty from any man. What a shame men must swear an oath to be truthful!
Blitz, I will pray for you. In know way do you have the right to lash at me because of my religion. You don't even have a clue about what religion I am. So you have to use a racial slang as your only defense? That just shows denial of defeat, a low comeback, and pure prejudicy. 40% of this country follows Christianity, and for you to us Bible-humpers... I wont even respond to that, God bless you. -

Okay.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...
Does my username say "Vert45"?
No. Don't blame me for other people's idiocy. -

Give Hara thanks, because he obviously is worth more, by typing more.
I type less.
I can get the same point across.
I find you to be childish, Nic, with your close-minded stereotyping.
If you actually knew anyone who acts "meaningless", or "pathetic", well, you would probably change your opinion on them.
But, you don't.
Just stop complaining.
If you were actually mature enough, you could ignore them, instead of giving them attention.
Nope.
It is your official duty, at NE, to give your little take on everything.
Great. You keep making these impulse opinions, regaurding the people of NE.
What does it really matter? -

Judging people from a religious standpoint makes you shallow. If swearing is bad for religious reasons with you, then beat it. That argument is hereby thrown out the window for lack of relevance. The only revelant arguments here for and against swearing are based on societal disagreement, not "your" god.Blitz, I will pray for you. In know way do you have the right to lash at me because of my religion. You don't even have a clue about what religion I am. So you have to use a racial slang as your only defense? That just shows denial of defeat, a low comeback, and pure prejudicy. 40% of this country follows Christianity, and for you to us Bible-humpers... I wont even respond to that, God bless you.

Lost boy needs a prayer...
The only one that was judging was you, from an anti-religous standpoint and nothing is thrown out for relavance because no topic here stays on topic. "Beat it?!!" Why would anyone take an order from you? You're the one that's illiterate. No comment you proceed with will bring you out of the pothole now.
Your the one who could not counter an arguement, not even conjure up one of your "swears." You had to sink to discrimination, which make you the only shallow one. Being shallow, is not thinking with depth and intellect(Something you have not shown and understanding of).
You blew off the case<I made a response to someone elses question. -

Ok Harakirii, spare me the lovestory of you and Git, I won't care anyway. It has nothing to do with this thread and therefore isn't an excuse.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....
Same for Danimation. Has nothing to do with this. We're talking about the situation here at NE.
On a side note, your Basara avatar rocks! Don't change it too quickly again.
I never put words in your mouth. This is all what you have said before.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
You said it'd be the same work for you to become famous as it is for parkmakers, with the only difference that you try it by posting and parkmakers with RCT work.
You also said that Nic and me would have a point which you understand. Now you claim the opposite. Sorry but I can't follow you.
I'm sorry, I keep doing that mistake. It has to be "may remind you" instead of "may remember you".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.
I dont really know what that means so I wont comment on it. I know its hard to translate crap, youve said it before.
You're last sentence really wasn't necessary...
Exactly.You're not understanding my point. At all. I don't mind the damn swearing, what I'm trying to show is theres a use of it and overuse and in my opinion swearing, by some users (mainly wannabe StupidGits and Harakirii) is just puerile, childish and pathetic.
No one ever said "Stop swearing!". Can you finally all understand that?
It's all about how people ruin every thread with their annoying shit. (Yes Git, I know I'm doing the exact same thing, you don't have to tell me that over and over again, bla)
And please, everyone, stop posting shit from the bible in here and please don't make this another stupid "The Guy Above Me" crap. -

my point is that religion does not enter into this discussion. It is purely a social argument, not religious. -

Everyone shut up.
Many people here don't even believe in God or Jesus, therefor they don't give a fuck about what the bible says about swearing. And because the bible says don't swear, does it mean everyone who is raised as a Christian will refuse to swear? No. Shut up.
I just wanted to point that out considering the bible has shit to do with why people swear so much here.
Everything else I wanted to say was said. This is getting so boring.
