I was just using that as a mold for the point I was trying to make. I know not everyone is the same way. I just find it easier to have a conversation with swear words included. What, am I not allowed to do that? I find myself to be quite intelligent, not to sound full of myself. I just don't care. I don't care what others think of me when I swear like a sailor. I'm not always thinking, "gee, I better use a more appropriate term or I might offend somebody!" I'm an offensive person, I'll admit. I just don't see the big deal here. We all talk the way we want to. There's no norm here.

I'm done with this thread. Stay on topic, fellas.

Ai... you can do whatever you want. Hence, the freedom of speech thing. Swearing in NO WAY (I'll say AGAIN) makes one less intelligent.

This is a topic no one will win with... everyone is different. So, whatever floats one boat.

You know, I kind of feel sorry I started this thread.

Weird. I start a topic on a new technology in taxi cabs, and only two people reply. I start one on underwear and the forum goes nuts.

I love you guys.

Hehe, oh Krow... you remember the 'underwear thread' on the GD forums and how we loved it so.

Hmmm... They may or may not... though I honestly don't think so...

Hip huggers are not insightly and crude looking like wearing your pants around your thighs.


Do these silly goofs with their low pants honestly think females find that attractive???

Here's the thing with that. They won't say anything about that if they like looking at the hiphuggers. Totally unfair, I know, but...

And, really. DO they think they look cool with their pants all low like that? As a female, I shudder at that.

Well obviously to the mainstream it's normal, and obviously females so entrenched in the "gangsta life style" are attracted to it. As goofy as they really do look, it's the cool thing.

Well said.

Actually it isn't unconstitutional for Virginia to pass a law at all banning expressionism at all. The first admendment clearly states that Congress (the federal government) cannot make a law violating these rights. It was never intended to apply to state governments at all. The whole idea was that if Virginia or any other state passed a law against the freedom of speech then people who disagreed with these laws had the opportunity to move to another state. If the federal government passed these laws then the only choice people would have would to move to another country. Anyways that is how it was intended not how it is.

***This is not a post saying I believe the Bill of Rights should only apply to the Federal Government. I'm simply pointing out a historical fact.***

Wow, such a heated thread about butt cracks. Nobody enforces laws like this.

And it looks like I'll be moving to Europe.

And nobody wants to see your random posts neither during the day nor during the night.

Thank you for stopping that behaviour, Shredder Utrom.
