I simply asked why you hate it and was it because you learned at some point that it was a rude word but you couldn’t / wouldn’t answer. Perhaps you don’t really know why you hate it? I mean, who first said it was rude? Do you know?

But despite you avoiding answering my questions I’ll answer yours. Yes I do use it.
Guess that makes me vulgar in your opinion.

I guess it does.

Trump posts here?


What's his screen name?

Yeah - and why should Trump not be insulted?
He was the most prolific insulter on God's green earth.
Insulted women in a very personal way,  using menstruation and fatness as terms of abuse
Insulted golden families whose sons were killed in active service in the US army
Insulted airforcemen who get taken as POW after their plane is shot down
Used twitter to post Childish tit for tat insults to everyone


I have no problems sinking down to his base levels.
And to anyone crying into their beer over him being disrespected I'd say these 3 immortal words: > >

It's up to you if you want to be childish, but others shouldn't be forced to call him "Cheeto-Faced Ferret-Wearing Shit Gibbon" by default because of the autocorrect. If Obama's name had been autocorrected to call him a gibbon, I have no doubt there would be screams of racism. It's also altering the quotes from media sources to say something they didn't actually say.

Or actually am I more in tune than you?

The fact that you look to put me down, places you in what category?

Do you feel empowered by doing so?

Or Immature, as much as me?

So how sad is that?

Well, if you really wish to portray yourself as immature (and you said it), that's entirely up to you....who am I to disagree with your own perception of yourself?

Thor wrote:Its called honesty, maybe you should try it sometime, when you jump into the fray when no offense was ever given to you, but you wanted to look a golden dick in front of the ladies. Hence your immaturity shone through

But "put you down"? Why on earth should I wish to do that? Apart from the fact that I have more pressing concerns in my life, you're the one who likes "putting people down" - or at least trying to...usually with, shall we say, markedly limited success.

Thor wrote:And yet you jumped in here doing so now, yourself and continuing to do so, again trying to look smart and playing to an audience. So that would make all your replies here of the very same nature and no better correct|?

What was that silly "put down" comment you posted to Maddog: "The only thing that has happened here is I am controlling you like a puppet on a string.."?

Thor wrote:Well that was 100% correct, when he though he was being clever and got sucked in?

The fact was that the position was exactly the opposite! Perhaps you are so fixated on your self-proclaimed superiority that you failed to recognise it.

Thor wrote:Oh I see you have made yourself the self apponted judge of immturity. My mistake, I never knew this required self idiocy to recognise this. My error, but please continue

As I said, you're quite obviously and completely discombobulated!

Your problem is that if you wish to think outside the box, you really do have to get out of the box first. And you seem to be experiencing some difficulty in finding the lid!

Well that point is interesting as again, you made you the judge of this to decide

You did jump in here, trying to look like a shinning knight in armour and more likely look like a rusty misshapen nail

The reality is this, Madoog, still thinks he is living in the age of the Crusades, based off some mythilogical concept called chivalry. Which in reality never existed and is in itself a sexist concept

You may like vulgarity, but if you don't like the bartender's attitude at the White Elephant, and call her a cunt, you're not leaving under your own power. And you know we both know it.

I think we all know that certain words are volatile, for whatever reason.

Yo Momma so dirty she's like a 5 foot tall basketball hoop; it ain't that hard to score.

Yo Mama so dirty I called her up for phone sex and she gave me an ear infection.

Yo Momma so dirty she's like a doorknob... Everyone gets a turn.

Yo Mama so dirty she has a number dispenser on her bedpost.

Yo Mama so dirty I told her to do the robot and now R2D2 has HIV.

Oh I see, so they resort to violence then?

Must have some real dicvks in Texas, for people to have become so violent

Or is it they have been driven by ideological nonsene like Christianity, based on chivalry and the crusades?

Yes, it's full of dicks. You wouldn't like it here.

Although I think the sex shops have blow up dolls, so there's that.

Oh have been there with another posted, he got banned. Even though I never wanted him to be banned

So you can joke about her all you like

Would you like her address, so you can post them to her in Ireland?

I imagine there is alot of Christian dicks living there, that live by some warped bible code of ethics. Whilst ignoring countless barbaric nonsense within the bible

At the end of the day, you are a taker

Nah. That woman had to raise you. I imagine she's a saint. That had to be some hard work.

Actually she was quite violent, but then grew up with a father that had been truamatized through WW2. Which made him an alcoholic, beating the crap out of my Grandmother. He certainly was a dick and threw away their livelihood
She certainly thinks she is a saint and in way she is quite remarkable raising 11 children

She has her faults like many people and grew up in a different time and why I hold nothing against her

The poster lost the plot and made some sexual views about my family

Like i said, you want to make jokes about her, knock yourself out mate

Mama jokes aren't really specific to anyone's mama.

They are like blonde jokes.

Must be a translation thing.

Really?
I have never observed anyone ''screaming'' racism unjustifiably on here.
The members are of a level of intelligence & sophistication that they would not mention racism unless it's warranted.


Myself I have never mentioned the word racism on here afaik.
Cos once someone says "it's racist/racism", they are for ever branded a vacuous lefty simpleton who sees racism everywhere, even when there is none. So I avoid the word completely. I use bias or bigoted instead, less triggering to RW-ers, lol.

Another thing, let's face it, some RW-ers deliberately set the bar so HIGH that it's next to impossible that they would ever agree that any incident/decision was racist, no matter how obvious it was. Nothing crosses the racist threshold in their eyes.  So, not usually worth wasting one's time saying there's bias - they'd just disagree. 


I do find it weird that anyone would make comparisons with Obama here.  Obama's excellent people's skills & social graces ensure that he would NEVER mock/disrespect people in the way that Trump frequently does. 

Thanks for listening.

You do realise the flaw in the statement above?  How can it disappear up its own back passage?

Doh

I would more laugh more at you trying to blow up the  inflatable didge in the first place. It might take a few weeks...

I hope they instill the air plug where the gentials are......

As that would be funny watching you blow off an inflatable didge

If you and eddie were in a pub say, and you got into casual conversation with some man at the bar, something didn't suit him, and he turned to Eddie and called her a dried up ugly old cunt.....would you LOVE that?

I ask because, swap that pub for this forum and thats what happens to several of us women on here on a regular basis.

It's not the actual word, it's the way it's used by a minority of men to try to demean women.

The only place in the UK I know that uses the word in a conversational manner is Scotland.   I remember being in Glasgow and hearing a man greet his friend.  "Hey, cunt, how are you?"   It's used as terms of endearment too....'He's a generous cunt!'   'Och, you daft cunt!'..etc  By both men and women.

It's your word "eloquent" with which I would take issue,  given his endless manic and almost obsessive deployment of derogatory and offensive adjectives when referring to some of us, usually when he is posting about the differences in opinion between his perceived saintly Left and his equally perceived evil Right in this place.

Now, for real eloquence I would much prefer the style of Falstaff's crony Gadshill in Shakespeare's Henry 1V:

I am joined with no foot-land-rakers, no long-staff sixpenny strikers, none of these mad mustachio purpole-hued maltworms...but but with nobility and tranquility.


So much more "eloquent" than "man-hating dried-up nasty old harridans" or "I don't have a single fucking clue what you're gibbering on about you slimy troublemaking troll..."

Maybe he has a form of tourette's that affects his finger tips and he cant control what he types?
