Swearing

So the 'I'm too uneducated' is not insulting as a replacement word despite NO EVIDENCE to support that swearing has anything to do with intellect or education.

Wonder what qualification one needs for priggish moralising...

 

Having to use such a widely regarded vulgar word to convey feeling or emotion shows a distinct lack of the ability to use the English language. And the complete disregard of the forum rules just backs that up. It's the rules end of! As has been said before if you don't like it go to a forum that allows it.

 

I'll deal with each one in turn.

Point one - when? You can't state that without giving some form of evidence, so when and how does that manifest itself here or indeed anywhere else by me? So I'll call you on it....when?

Point two - because I'm inclined to defend people with degrees, that in your eyes is my barometer for intellect? The fact that at times the same people that seem to hate 'some arsehole with a degree in mechanical engineering can't work the machine I've spent 20 years working on' yet send their kids to college or University is ironic to me yet not to them. Is that intellect for me, no, more a different perspective. Regarding Stephen Fry...go and read my post again, I state pretty clearly that I'm evidencing the video as a means, not my whole argument, and it's based on the general support for his video on religion. So back to the question...my answer is framed more by my conclusion that a lack of intellect is someone lazy of thought, though that to me is not then proof that an over active mind is necessarily clever either.

I look at a persons communication at a particular time for its relevance, clarity and accuracy - silence isn't a pointer for intellect or wisdom no.

Point three - id just watched a video of some arse whipe smacking a frail elderly woman about for no reason. Both my grand parents had been in homes, my mum worked in a care home for years (registered RGN) and my brother worked as a home carer (degree in social work). Am I angry and frustrated that no one mentions that Bannentyne for example made his millions in care homes, and the owners are hugely rich across the board yet pay these people bugger all? Surprisingly, yes.

Do I expect my dissatisfaction to be blanked out...yes. Do I expect my comment to be hilariously reworded without my consent by someone else's....no.

Finally....I pride myself on my incessant look at me postings, I often start threads that share stories about me, what I've been doing, my family and friends because I massively like the limelight and have to draw people's attention to me.

The funniest aspect of Britishness to me is people applying their own possibly sub concious opinions on a person and accusing said person of some form of bias.

 

Be nice when the sites as pro active about potential scammers as it is about a few rude words.

Oops there I go again!

 

In which case blank it out, don't put words into someone else's mouth without their consent.

I wrote it correctly as that is what I wanted to say, I didn't space it or change letters to numbers.

And, I would nominate a persons ability to use and understand a language is evidenced by their ability to use the correct swear word at the right time, universally, across the globe....but obviously writers, bloggers and professors of languages never swore ever.

 

That's putting your oar out of it dumbass!

 

Don't worry, neither was I.

 

Just one so far.

 

That's abuse!!

 

No, a Werthers Original that I get you to put in your trouser pocket that I then rummage around for, that's abuse..,

 

Unfortunately not everyone will do this. Hence the need for a swear filter. As for the replacement words, they are intended as humour to try and lighten the mood a bit, especially as the full moon (no pun intended)seems to have shown itself on here again this last week.

 

No you haven't.!There have been no reports by you about anyone. Doug has, but that's another matter.

 

I used the report button maybe 8 months ago. Unless it doesn't work through tapa.
Do you wait for complaints when people swear, or are you more pro active?
