Re: The Rules
Oh I don't know. I'd say we have kept it to a minimum. I think our threshold is just pretty damn high.A Thing of Eternity wrote:This one sure went to hell lately.Freakzilla wrote: 2. Keep the profanity to a minimum.

I agree with Nekrhun. If Freak didn't want us cussing, then by damn he'd tell us so!
Wouldn't ya Freak

Looks more like a sarcastic grin to me, but whatever, lol.

In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

I agree. There was a phase when every other word I heard, from myself or people I was talking to, was some variation of "Fuck." And half the other words were some other curse word.Omphalos wrote:For some of the groups I hang out in, we have a decidedly low curse rate.A Thing of Eternity wrote:Oh I wasn't complaining. Just laughing at the steady rise in cursing we've seen lately.
P.s. Doesn't really look like the little guy's laughing does it? Gets the point across though.
And that's barely midweight cursing.
You only attain to mastery when literally every word is profanity, and you're still intelligible.
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word 'fuck'. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter F, 'fuck' is the only word that is referred to as "the f word". It's the one magical word. Just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. 'Fuck', as most words in the English language, is derived from German. The word fleichen which means to strike.
In English, 'fuck' falls into many grammatical categories:
As a transitive verb for instance: "John fucked Shirley".
As an intransitive verb: "Shirley fucks".
It's meaning's not always sexual:
It can be used as an adjective, such as "John's doing all the fucking work".
As part of an adverb: "Shirley talks too fucking much".
As an adverb enhancing an adjective: "Shirley is fucking beautiful".
As a noun: "I don't give a fuck".
As part of a word: "Absofuckinglutely", or: "Infuckingcredible", and, as almost every word in the sentence: "Fuck the fucking fuckers".
As you must realise, there aren't too many words with the versatility of 'fuck'. As in these examples describing situations such as:
Fraud: "I got fucked at the used car lot".
Dismay: "Aww fuck it!"
Trouble: "I guess I'm really fucked now".
Aggression: "Don't fuck with me buddy!"
Difficulty: "I don't understand this fucking question".
Inquiry: "Who the fuck was that?"
Dissatisfaction: "I don't like what the fuck is going on here".
Incompetence: "He's a fuck off".
Dismissal: "Why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself?"
I'm sure you can think of many more examples. With all of of these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word? We say, use this unique flexible word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly: "FUCK YOU!"

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.
