Hell Kitty Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 It was because of computer games. Probably Doom.
Syraxis Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) It was because of computer games. Probably Doom. Those damn murder simulators! For our colonial cousins, and foreigners, '****' is a synonym for 'douchebag'. But more offensive. It's used here also, just not as common as others. Edited July 18, 2009 by Gorth Changed the quote
213374U Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Yeah, this poll is loaded. "Society made him do it", "videogames", "all of the above" are all missing as options. Who cares about Hades anyway. My professional opinion is that with that face, he wasn't getting any. But hey I might just be projecting my own insecurities, here... edit: nevermind, got it Edited July 17, 2009 by 213374U - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Morgoth Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I really wonder why Britain keeps so many Extremist ****s around in their country.... Victim of the Multi-Culti dictatorship? Rain makes everything better.

Darth InSidious Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I really wonder why Britain keeps so many Extremist ****s around in their country.... Victim of the Multi-Culti dictatorship? Victim of reading the inane drivel newspaper columnists write. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.

Humodour Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 **** isn't a swear word! This word has been acceptable on post watershed television throughout the last decade. However in Scotland and Southern England it has a much softer meaning than it has in the North of England. In northern English it is a taboo word - completely interchangeable in every context with '****'. Many northern TV comedies and dramas feature the word because non-northerners have no idea how offensive it is and '****' is forbidden. Here, as with the word pants Northern English is more similar to North American than with southern English and Scottish usage. OK, so... in Australia, Scotland and Southern England it just mainly means 'fool' while in America and Northern English it's equivalent to the c-word? I'm so confused! It's a hilarious word I often use endearingly, how can it be offensive? *goes and looks up where Northern England is*
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) **** **** ****. EDIT: Although sometimes used as a reference to the female genitalia, the word **** is more often used in various other ways:*As a derogatory insult, a pejorative - 'you ****!' *A fool, synonymous with the word twit - 'You are a real **** and a half' (often used in the UK) Edited July 18, 2009 by Deadly_Nightshade "Geez.

I'm so confused! It's a hilarious word I often use endearingly, how can it be offensive? *goes and looks up where Northern England is* No, it's not as bad as the c-word. It's worse than jerk or **** though. Edit: Wait. The original picture didn't have his hair, and I'm not surprised. Edited July 18, 2009 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.

Aristes Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Aw, come on, Wals! You know the answer to this one. You're just throwing red meat to the Wallies. (isn't that an Aussie term? ) Anyhow, the guy is trying to find himself. Apparently, he should look at the end of a crack pipe.
Gorth Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 No, it's not as bad as the c-word. It's worse than jerk or **** though.

Gorgon Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 No, it's not as bad as the c-word. It's worse than jerk or **** though. Come on guys, it shouldn't really be necessary to add new words to the language filter. No, but you reallly really want to, don't you. Despite your attempts to play it down, you are the one who makes a big deal about language, even when you don't have to. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Humodour Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 While Gorgon went about it a bit rudely, I agree that threatening to censor the word '****' seems a bit overzealous as it would suggest words like 'crap' are next. Off-topic ahoy!

Aristes Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I consider keeping the mods from developing megalomania a public service, it's nothing personal. Yeah, Gorgon, the Mods are suffering from megalomania. That's got to be it. Seems like you're a bit full of yourself, also. He could have shut down the thread for all I care. The real problem is that this thread wasn't thought provoking or insightful. It's a cut and dried case where even the alternate view hardly had anyone playing Devil's Advocate. ...And heaven knows this place has no shortage of folks willing to represent the Devil. Sorr, Wals, some of your threads are interesting and create some good discussion, but this guy is just a <insert favorite expletive here>. As for you, gorgon, good luck with your crusade against the oh so harsh mods in this forum. Hey, send me a PM when you're moderated for a couple weeks so I can try to raise a rebellion. I wonder how well that's going to work for you.
Gorgon Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 They'll Live. Besides, that's why they pay them the big bucks. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
