yeah, *that's* all we have to do to make a 'civil' (sic) society:
1. ban all 'dirty' words (oh brother, that slope won't get too slippery, will it baby-citizens)...
2. allow only 'nice' words/thoughts... (*snicker*)
3. ignore the root causes of loss of tribe, teevee brain, and profit without honor which have -naturally enough- produced a morally bankrupt system which values only money/power, and devalues people, justice, and equity...
(got theocracy ?)
nope, let's not discuss the basic causes of a seriously debased, debauched, and despairing society (*shhhh* don't tell anyone, but it has something to do with unrestrained kapitalist imperialism); instead, let's talk about some dirty hippie's pottymouth...
yeah, that'll fix it...
fuckin' jerks...
MHalblaub: right fucking on bro/sis; pissy, prissy prigs who use asterisks to avoid actually TYPING 'dirty' words (*gasp*!) need to grow the fuck up... it is fundamentally dishonest, and shows a scared, timid sheeple who doesn't believe in free speech... (that means you, catherine the not so great)
Vardaman: tip of the hat to you too, for pointing out that the REALITY of half or more of our pwecious wittle babies in school, is that of virtual anarchy, where cursing is so tame, that it is mostly ignored... the anon poster living in cloud-cuckooland (or yuppie suburbia) who opined about 'one child mouthing off' does not have a FUCKING CLUE of what MOST schools are like...
NOT that schools should be like that, but the so-called innocence of the pwecious babies is VASTLY overemphasized... further, i personally believe that the little monsters -as clueless as they may otherwise be- intuit (if not internalize) the pervasive and ACCEPTABLE (repeat, ACCEPTABLE, if not lauded) MAINSTREAM BEHAVIORS of brazen denial, baldfaced lying, shirking responsibility, and whiplashing hypocrisy which 'our' (sic) fearless leadership demonstrates every day, AND GETS AWAY WITH ! ! !
why shouldn't they be lying, selfish, braying assholes JUST LIKE our supposed betters ? ? ?
TomRakewell: Oh.My.God. apparently, you are the living definition of prig... 'nimrod' (or ANY word) ONLY has meaning inasmuch as we the sheeple GIVE IT meaning... it don't matter what the fuck it says in your oxford's unabridged; IN FACT, oxfords will seek out the common usage to change THEIR 'definition' to conform with usage...
i'm afraid your campaign -as important as it is- to reclaim the 'rightful' definition of 'nimrod' is doomed...
(*what* a fuckin' nimrod...)

1. kudos to huldrenette and cheekier for their explanations of what *should* be obvious to all living beings: you know, the teeny-tiny factoid that nekkid apes have been omnivores for lo these many hundreds of thousands of years...
got grubs ? ? ?
(*notwithstanding* the present sub-optimal systems of factory farming, etc...)
2. melodramatic romantics who are just so shaky-voiced upset over killing/eating soft and fuzzy creatures need to get over their pseudo-sensitivities... i love animals, and i also love to eat animals; there is NO contradiction...
(more than a few of them would love to eat us, given half a chance... so far, we've been better armed...)
i thank brother chicken for the his bbq arm i munch, i appreciate bessie has given her life so i might live, i am grateful that sister fishie has been broiled so that i might be fed; but i ain't gonna hold a funeral service for them...
3. thanks also to comrade rupert-c who made what i think is a real and valid point: vegans don't care about the 'feelings' of vegetables...
seriously...
i believe plants have 'feelings' (of a sort), i believe they react to being chopped down, uprooted, sliced up, boiled alive ...
but -ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN 'PRINCIPLES'- vegans don't really care, now do they...
*where* do we draw the line, kampers ? ? ?
4. gorgona made an excellent point regarding the inconsistency and foolishness of vegans who have pets and feed them meat...
not one defender of the vegan way would answer that seriously... hmmm, wonder why...
(creepy vegans who insist their pets love and thrive on *their* forced vegan diets are fooling no one, least of all their pets... given a 'choice' between some tofu crap and a steaming hunk of wormy meat, the abused pets will rip out their owner's throat to get the meat... so much for 'love'...)
5. sonofabastard, perhaps you are a bastard; but mostly, you're just a dick... case in point: the repudiation of anonymous posters (*as if* 'sonofabastard' is somehow less anonymous than saying 'anonymous'); i really have a difficult time respecting pompous pricks who are so dog damned self-righteous about the 'impropriety' of anonymous posters...
fuck all you dickheads...
