  1. You aren’t very good at name calling are you. I hope you are better in your day job.
  2. AHPP, come on, religious people do not indoctrinate children
  3. yeah, thanks for that. this is beneath me. you are way beneath me. did you like that, prick? people chasting peers like children should be beneath us all being a SUPER moderator doesnt make you SUPER
  4. edit. this was supposed to follow ian c, not danbous
  5. There’s the point. I find that sort of post more worthy of censorship that swearing in context. Who’s being a snowflake? Why do you feel the need to call somebody a dick and pathetic? Am I the pathetic dick?
  6. Actually the fossil record shows it was more Apple crumble but there is debate amongst geologists
  7. Our 200000 years is nowt to Gaia. 650MYA ago the whole earth was frozen and then covered in dessert in the Permian with 3x the level of CO2 today. We are the one that will suffer. Many of our large cities are coastal, there will be water and food shortages. I suppose at least Skegness will be no more
  8. my posts have conformed to the rules. of the 2 dozen or so posts it is clear i have lost the argument which is fine. all but 2 or 3 counter posts were respectful and in non confrontational prose. i didn't resort to sarcasm or having a go at an individual
  9. Wow. That response was unnecessarily aggressive. I was debating censorship. Can I not decide what thread to create? I understand that this is a privately owned forum. The rules are the rules. What is wrong with the courteous questioning of this. I like this forum and have no wish to leave thanks.
  10. Wow! What is good for the planet is not the point. The planet doesn’t give a flip. We are taking what is good for us. And climate change isn’t. If I have to qualify this than I may as well go on and justify that the Earth is not flat, the benefits of immunisation and the nonsense of homeopathy
  11. I will try again. Not talking about swearing for swearing’s sake. Nor having a pop at someone There are no children on here nor are there people that will never have heard the vernacular. Advertisers don’t give a dam, they are concerned with commerce not language. I am educated but sometimes a swear word is the only correct word. RH was quoting an actual situation. Anyone on here upset with what he typed? I have been upset by bigotry and needlessly confrontational prose on here , the odd swear word pales in comparison
  12. Good example. My brothers think he’s great. I’ve never rated him cos I think he swears to shock/impress in lieu of funny material. Context is everything and Rough Hewn’s vernacular was in context
  13. Depends on the context. “ Dr! I’ve got a flipping sore throat “ Versus “This absolute bounder mugged my elderly mother “ Rough Hewn’s language was in context
  14. That’s the point, it’s common language, not used for effect necessarily ( but obviously it can be)
  15. So what if companies pay to advertise? To who? They are working men and women who swear
  16. Nobody ever swore at a teacher in my inner city school in the meadows, Nottingham in the 70s ( look it up it’s a shit hole). It’s the norm now, like it or not
  17. don't get me wrong, i'm not about forcing my own values on other people, but... i noticed Rough Hewn got chastised for swearing recently. i re read the forum rules and noted that vulgarity and being mean to others is not allowed. this rule is broken daily (i wish the being mean to others wasn't but i am adult enough to withstand the vulgarity) what is wrong with swearing? we all do it! isn't it deceitful to pretend it is not part of our everyday language ? please can we swear again
  18. Sorry if this has already been said d but we are doomed. Human nature as it is we are not going to take steps to alter CO2 output. The decision makers are men of an age that will not see the consequences and the money in fossil fuels is the determining factor. Let’s hope Gaia has something up her sleeve
  19. bomb proof anchor then no worries. can't get a bomb proof anchor? plan again?
  20. I married one mate 30 years ago she did have the hat but I managed to improve her life by taking her away from Middlesbrough and making her a housewife. She still fits into the hat if not the sexy nurses uniform
