I have only thrown up once while drinking and I will never do it again. It was the first time I tried Absente which isn't regular alcohol. I know how much alcohol I can handle so I will never go over my limit. I drink socially and to get buzzed to different degrees but I think drinking to the point of blacking out or puking is stupid and not enjoyable. Since we are talking about swearing then I will give my point fo view: I will only swear on occasion so when I do, people know I really mean it. If someone swears casually then they lose the effectiveness of their language.
swearing is great, it adds any number of new sentence structures, swearing is the only place that language seems to be advancing at the moment, so it should be praised for the role it plays in developing new and innovative idea. who cares if it is viewed as obscene by conservatives, free speech should have no limits anyway
How infantile can you be? It really adds a lot of useful information to your "new sentence structures" doesn't it? {Bleah!} Free speech has nothing to do with it. Primarily, it just shows off how immature your tiny little mind is and how your vocabulary is limited.
And you show off how mature your tiny little mind is. Ironic coming from someone who limits his vocabulary so as not to be judged immature or stupid. I bet you have tons of nomenclature memorized just to highlight your intelligence, don't you? And then, at every opportunity, attempt to demonstrate how you're the only one in the room who knows what a word is. Protocol, for instance. Arrogant piece of shit that you are. I shit on you.
errrr ok swearing can add passion if used right knew this woman who would NOT swaerr...she would say 'piggin' and 'sugar' made me swear more haha...but she didn't comment on it used to think..why not say fukin and shit...? about alcoholic poisoning remember seeing this prog. it showed that actual active principle of all alcoholic drink regardless of fancy name etc it is a colourless liquid like water that is what 'friends' pur down celebratns throats at dos... coulourless potential poison in large doses...then wonder why celebrant dies!
Not at all, dummy. In fact, I came to these forums to primarily read. And I have no interest in showing off. Generally speaking that is the arena of small children and politicians - and I am neither. [/QUOTE]Arrogant piece of shit that you are. I shit on you.[/QUOTE] See? Very typical. Does that make you feel all grown up?
Ooooh. Scathing. Or it might be to one who doubts his own intelligence. Try harder. (Call me a fucking moron. See how the fucking adds to the phrase? Or... do you?) Funny. Every time I come across your name you seem to be the height of arrogance. It's a good thing you read more than you post or we'd really see a thing or two, wouldn't we? And retired professors... (I'll admit. That's one post that you actually seemed cool in. I applaud you for that effort that undoubably took.) Figures you'd be too 'mature' to see the point. "Oh. Baby said a bad word, mommy." Oh. By the way. More arrogance from Herr Professor. Yes. Very typical, isn't it? And yet, you're so above all that, aren't you? But, isn't it quite useful so that you can identify the dummies and the untermenschen? It is, isn't it?
Craven, I really have no desire to argue with you about the usage/non-usage of specific words and phrases. The main thing I was trying to get across is this. Generally speaking , people who repeatedly use a lot of obscenities are doing so for one of two reasons: to show emphasis (which could be done much more effectively in a different manner) or contempt; and secondly because they are frustrated, can't find the proper word and just throw in a four-letter one. So, other than expressing contempt, frustration or adding emphasis - all of which could be done much better in a different manner, that usage serves no real purpose. The people I'm actually talking about are the ones who are in the habit of using it as about every third word or so. Just for the record, I have a hundred or more close friends (being 60+, I've had a lot of time to meet people) Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! and none of them consider me arrogant in the least. Educated, yes - but so are most of them AND many other people as well. And the reason I don't post anymore than I do is pretty simple, too. I'll only respond to something if I completely agree with it, or completely disagree, or to provide an answer to someone who has asked a question when I happen to know the answer. I really enjoy being helpful and I think a few other here do also. And yes, it's difficult to avoid slamming stupidity, but there's a lot of that here and I'm just not that interested in dealing with most of it. But I'm always interested in learning - and that's the main reason I visit this site.
but fuck can summarise so many words into a one breath exclamation. if you hit your thunmb with a hammer, are you likely to say 'this misjudgement of the trajectroy of my hammer has caused a severe nervous response' or 'fuck' your definition of people who use "profanity" could also be applied to people who say cell-phone, or TV. and pertaining to your arrogance, you sound a lot like my history teacher, who believes himself to be better than me on the grounds that we have different viewpoints on things.
Fuck sense. Fuck you. You sound like a prudish republican christian to me. I shit on you, your god, and your sense. Come to me, cunt.
And then the caveman has to come along and show just how right Light's hypothesis can seem to be. Thank you, Cottontop, for demonstrating just why the correlation that Light has made is so tempting but still erroneous. Light, The reason that I'm discussing this with you is simply because you've made a vast generalization. One which is easy to make and is all to common. To equate those who use vulgarity with low intelligence. The correlation is faulty. There are many examples of certified geniuses who were also the height of vulgarity. I do understand your point when it comes to those who are unable to express themselves sans vulgarity and thus use it as a sort of fallback mechanism when they fail to think of specific words. But, the fault is not in the vulgarity but the manner in which the vulgarity is used. One may use vulgarity in an intelligent manner. And one may use nomenclature in an unintelligent manner. The correlation which you have stated (and since rescinded) is far too simplistic and doesn't convey the information required. In fact, I take offense to such a simplistic correlation for the very same reason that you take offense to vulgarity. I see such simplistic correlations as a sort of fallback mechanism when the ability to judge the intelligence of a person fails. One sees a 'bad word' and judge the speaker to be unintelligent. Far too simple. Usage. Usage is the key.
Blah blah blah. Blah de fucking blah. Can we get back to talking about drinking and throwing up rather than a highbrow discussion of linguistics? Thanks. In America, we call that a good night of drinking. Seriously though, I always thought alcohol poisoning was this serious, stomach-pumping atrocity, and it turns out I posion myself fairly regularly. Typically when I drink though, people don't know I'm drunk. I'm not really off the wall or anything. So I have to play catch-up, either by pre-empting them with the bottle at 3 pm, or drinking until I get sick, start blacking out and have a two day hangover.
No, I guess not. What is alcohol poisoning? I hear it's alcohol poisoning when you vomit hardcore, but I always thought it was alcohol poisoning when you started to die.
Maybe it's actually both. I don't know for sure, but I was trying to get at what it was like just before you died from it.
alcohol poisoning is where your body loses the ability to keep the alcohol in line, and it does things like dissolves your stomach lining.
It is definently something I can live happily without. I remember my first time I had alcohol poisoning. Well, not actually, but I remember waking up in the hospital bed.
SativaDiva, are you being serious? You say you are 24. Did you almost die? How much had you had? How much do you weigh? How much does it take to "almost" die of alcohol poisoning? How much do you think it would have taken for you to have actually died?
