Kurtle Squad

I think my parents bought me an issue of NGC for Christmas once, after that I got a few more issues then decided to get a subscription to NOM, which then became ONM after a few years. I then went on to "need" a multi-platform magazine, so I switched my subscription to EDGE quite a long time ago; it's over-rated though and I've been looking into getting something else.

I think I'm going to give up really soon: Being ignored and/or let down isn't fun. As should be said: There's plenty more shit in the sea.

I know. I was using the most extreme (and disturbingly insane) example. The kind of feminists who think women ?Womyn? should be behind a desk, trying to work their way up the pen-pushing ladder, stuggling against the tyranny of men pigs*. *I have heard that the office environment in certain areas/businesses can actually be really sexist though. Certainly far less so than in laboury type jobs; I can only think it's possibly a class thing... Any more insight into this "phenomenon" would be welcomed. ----------------------------------------------------------- Speaking of etymologies: I just can't stop smirking when I think about, or hear Ethiopia mentioned Oh yeah; another of my pet peevs conserning PC is their allowance of the term vandal(ism).

I think that the feminist argument is that the cunt is a part of a woman, and cunt is a bad word, so therefore using cunt is "degrading to women". But so, apparently, is porn... This is the second post on this site where I've "overused" the word cunt.

Maybe others should have responsibility with what they think. Is it the user who trivialises the hearers meaning, or the hearer who trivialises the users meaning? You seem to be putting the blame squarely on the user. Why? Who's glorifying slavery? Or even trivialising it? Just because you wish to associate nigger with slavery, doesn't mean others do. The nigger/slave association is a relatively modern, made-up construct. Certainly "post slavery", and certainly in the UK, where is was used as a synonym for dark/black (with and without racial connotations) until sometime after The War. If one is offended by the word nigger in every context, or any other "slur" then who's fault is that? Only if people accept "slurs" as mere nouns/adjectives will the people of the future get over their negative word associations and stop being offended. Putting weight onto a word doesn't stop the problem, it exacerbates it; you only end up, essentially offending yourself. Fear of a word only increases the fear of the thing itself. Is it not those who suggest that another who isn't offended by slurs is some sort of bigot that are trivialising actual bigotry; I'd say yes. I'll treat others how I wish to be treated; surely that's morally acceptable? I'm required by law to use all slurs: I'm not allowed to discriminate concerning my actions when it comes to many protected characteristics Not that "the law" would see it that way: The judiciary seem to believe that treating black people preferably is what the Equality Act 2010 demands. Sikhs too. That and the law only protects such protected characteristics when it suits them; inside and outside logic and reasoning. *coughhypocritecough* How dare you use a word with such connotations! Why would you glorify sexism and women's suffering? I can't believe you don't think women should have the votez and shit!!!!111

I don't think that a lunchlady is officially called a lunchlady anywhere, so much so I didn't even realise that was what was being discussed... seems odd. I find the suggestion of gender roles etc in official/semi-official usage insanely vulgar. Also, the names used for members of staff and such is only the tip of the PC iceberg; something which almost certainly falls within the grey area anyway. My pet peevs are things like using BCE/CE instead of BC/AD on the lower end, and blatent, yet ignored PC racism/sexism etc on the higher end of the scale.

I think Sirens is great so far. The second episode is better than the first (they usually are). It's really hard to describe the premise of it all though.

I think if the Chatroom was more obviously existant, more people would use it.

Well using American examples of destroying that form of humour isn't exactly fair: American's are only just funny at the best of times, and when it isn't funny it's almost always 'try-hard', which seems to be their main problem. How How I met your Mother and Big Bang Theory etc make it onto TV at all, let alone UK TV, is beyond me. ... Actually, they do belong somewhere: BBC three, with all the other tripe.

I'm getting to the point where I'll find anyone interesting who shows interest in me. Certainly until someone actually interesting comes along.

But a lunchlady is a lunchlady. You seem to be under the impression that childeren are idiots. Treating them as such will certainly cause them the aquire such an attribute though. The etymology of Political Correctness is that is was originally used as an insult towards those who put ideas/actions which were politically correct over everything else. At least, that's what I've found. It's irrelivent really. By using the term PC correctly, I meant not over using it or using it inaccurately; y'know, like people do with the R word. Political Correctness covers quite a wide variety of things/ideas; there's a definate grey area between PC, politeness and other things. It doesn't just cover negative things, but someone wouldn't use it for certain ideas really, such as things concerning basic morality. Anyway, you must be pretty bigotted to believe that anyone who comes to the conclusion that something is PC must be somehow deluded/knee-jerking. Stereotyping everyone as a Daily Mail stereotype really does undermine the issue. P.S. Crazy Feminists should be jailed under the Equality Act 2010.

And your idea isn't a knee-jerk reaction with a lack of thought? Political Correctness doesn't need to "go mad", it is, and always has been an insulting term, and almost always uses inane reasoning (unless for selfish/twisted reasons). To use "PC gone mad" certainly is used with a lack of thought, especially since it implies you'd be using PC as an insult without suggesting it mad. It's probably not a good idea stereotypes/straw-men to fight against a point I've not even made. It's good to see you not (yet) fall into the typical pit of throwing words like bully and racism* like so many others seem to do *coughguardiancough* however. Actual non-stupid people use the term political correctness to save writing an entire essay every time someone whines about something. Just because some retards misuse words, it doesn't mean everyone who uses it does. Political Correctness covers a lot more than just word use of course. Is there a non-PC reason someone shouldn't be called a lunchlady? I can't honestly think of one. Please enlighten me.

Sun: Is that why the masses are stupid sheep? Mirror = Pointless Star = Crap Sun The Guardian seems to hate Govternment oppression; yet seem to love dishing out thought-crime accusations, PC-bullshit and seems so unbelievably up it's own arse etc. It just has such an everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others attitude. I can't stand it.

Okay; maybe I was talking rubbish? OKCupid seems a bit better; I'm going to give it a go. Still don't really know what I'm doing. (P.S. I hate not being able to drive).

Someone who finds you interesting; not someone who'll ignore you

Only the Sun, Mirror, Star, Guardian and i to go!! Too bad they don't phone-hack (allegedly).

I only said France because it's a freedom of clothing, which is what you mentioned... I have near zero respect for Germany however.

Despite being true ... I never do. Not that anyone on here probably thinks I'm kind; just a c***.

No ta; I'll just seem like a relationships about sex to me: it's not, at least, not majoritively.

I always feel like I'll seem 'kin' borin'.

Indeed; humans actually have a pretty bad imagination compared to how they could be.

I had a dream in which I found a squashed £2 coin with the three lions on last night.

That's why I said little and kept it vague S'good to hear you're feeling better about things. I hadn't put your previous mentioning of depression together with it until you just stated so Anyway, moving on....

Last I spoke to you a year or so ago because...

I'm more of a 12-24 hours later man actually...
