Is swearing offensive if it is not directed at you?

    It all comes down to, there's a time and a place for everything.

    In the bar it can be how the fuck are ya. When doing business, it should be Good afternoon sir, nice to meet with you.

    I'd say act accordingly online. If it's a BS thread, I guess ok, but talking biz, we should be more professional.

    What exactly is a "wanker" by the way? I get the impression that may have more potential to offend than the "F" word.

    Truth be known you're kind of growing on me, you grumpy old bastard :D

    That doesn't mean I'm going to stop telling you when you're wrong though...

    Originally, it was a British term referring to someone who engaged in the act of masturbation.

    By now, it may mean anything... kids these days have a habit of making good words bad and vice versa... :confused:

    The only problem with that is that it is "wrong" in your opinion. What makes you the arbiter of right and wrong?

    Take it however you want :)

    You do make me laugh, though. First you crushed Anthony when he got in your way, now you're trying for Minnie..I dread to think who's next :eek:

    Do you really think I was the cause of Anthony's departure? RIP

    And far from me trying to crush Minnie I would suggest it is the other way around.

    With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
    He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

    Helpless people on a subway train
    Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

    He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
    As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

    Oh no, they say he’s got to go
    Go go godzilla, yeah
    Oh no, there goes tokyo
    Go go godzilla, yeah

    Disclaimer
    Gotta forgive me, this is the stuff these conversations make me think of!

    Missed this one..sorry...

    I probably should have gone and intro'd myself alot earlier, but, well..you know...

    I'm in Saskatchewan, where the sun has "finally" decided to show it's face. When I'm not working as a cook in a hospital (yeah yeah...bad hospital food and all that....) I'm reading these silly posts way past my bedtime. ;)

    *waves*

    How did I get 2K posts? WTF have I been doing?

    In this hole
    That is me
    A life that's growing feeble
    In this hole
    So limiting
    The sun has set; all darkens

    Not necessarily, I've been known to be a real asshole.

    Damn, sorry, there was no nice way to say that and laugh! :D
