This is seriously the worst "holiday" ever, seriously. If you're with someone, you are perpetually bombarded with messages like "BUY CANDY OR DIAMONDS OR LUXURY CARS FOR YOUR SWEETHEART OR SHE'LL HATE YOU" messages. If you're single, you are constantly bombarded with implicit, unspoken "WOW YOU ARE SUCH A LOOOOOOSER!!!!1" messages. Or maybe that's just me being neurotic.
Anyways, if you think the commercialisation of love is a terrible idea and you feel the need to rant about it, here's the place.

I'm sick of these silly Valentine's Day gifts that seem oh-so-original, but aren't original at all. Also, candy hearts are flavorless, and are pointless unless they also give good effects. And I can't get this one off the candygram.
-
Boo_penguin have too many girlfriends, so In Valentine's Day I move to Groeland.
-
I hate the commercialism crap myself. All I did was send my soul mate a rose this year, but I shouldn't matter what I do since we were already pretty close as friends. Actually, I remember reading in one of those ridiculous "Valentine's Day gift guides" that giving them one rose means you're a cheapskate. Better yet, does anyone even remember who St. Valentine is?
-
Valentine's day is a Wednesday right?
Dang, nothing good on TV that night.
-
But it's when Cartoon Network re-airs all the good ole' cartoons and their holiday specials!
-
Yeah, but then what? They get locked away again waiting for the next holiday, never to be seen weekdays again, not even being released in DVD sets.
I think I'm going to spend that day spamming my friends' inboxes with Yuri and Lolicon. Then I'll await their responses.
-
Dang, nothing good on TV that night.
You have a Wii.
At least in high school they don't make you give cards to everybody in class. The candy wasn't even good--does anybody REALLY like those flour-flavored hearts with the corny messages on 'em?
-
Let's all get one thing straight. They're NECCO wafer flavored. And yes, it's the same company. All you have to do is take your crappy flavor whatsit and mold it into heart shape.
NECCO!
-
I like the ones that actually have flavor, you know what I'm talking about. Anyone remember my quote for the true meaning of Valentine's Day? Something about the sale on candy the day after.
So...our school is having this "stoplight" day on Valentines' day where you wear an orange shirt if you're "taken," yellow if you're "friends", or green if you're single. You can guess which color I'll be wearing.
-
Gah, this candy heart won't...come...off...the...paper!
-
If you're single, you are constantly bombarded with implicit, unspoken "WOW YOU ARE SUCH A LOOOOOOSER!!!!1" messages.
Hey, greeting card companies are cashing in on the people who are single by producing "anti-Valentines" much like the contents of Luigison's post. It's terrible.
-
I still think it should be renamed to "Chocolate day" because let's be honest, that's the only reason a lot of us actually like the holiday.
-
Nah. It's mostly the same old crap candy sold on any other day; just heart shaped and/or in red wrapping.
-
You know what I hate most about Valentine's Day? All the anti-Valentine's Day sentiment. I agree, it is an utterly useless holiday, but I have grown deathly tired of all the supposedly ironically humorous "I HATE U" and "LUV SUX" candy heart gags, among other things. Exposing Valentine's Day as a stupid holiday is about as important as stressing that the Easter Bunny is a heartless scam to get folks to buy candy eggs; we all know it, so harping on the point is, well, pointless.
Of course, I do like taking advantage of Valentine's Day to build up a positively ridiculous stash of candy like I do with Halloween.
-

This is a February 15th tradition for me. More important in my mind than anything a card company can fabricate. Maybe this will change if I actually love someone, but until then, Valentine's Day is societal loathing and 80% off candy conversation hearts.
-
(this post was supposed to come after Bird Person's, but I forgot to press a certain button. "Warning - while you were typing 8 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.")
Man, I hate those things. They're called "Sweethearts," but I'd call them "Powdery Tacky Bad Heart Shaped Novelties." I do love Lifesavers, though, and my grandmother gave me a whole box of them for the upcoming Valentine's day.
On the subject of commercialism, I do disapprove of it. But I mostly am pretty apathetic towards it.
-
The candy on VD is just another way to destroy a holiday that used to be about something else. Like Easter, it has seen people who want to make it all about gifts and candy ruin the spirit. This used to be about Saint Valentine, now it's about satisfying your girlfriend with crappy chocolates, or face certain doom. For this reason I am happy I'm single.

I'd wear all gray if I were you.
-
Yes, valetine's day (notice how I don't care for it so much that I don't even capitalize it) has to be the worst holiday ever. The only thing it does is remind me how far behind I am in love, and how far ahead all other people are. What else can I say? Uh, I'm in 11th grade, and I have yet to find a girlfriend. Pathetic I know, but whats even more pathetic is that I barely talk to more than 2 girls throughout a whole school day, and I never have an actual real conversation with one unless it is online (and yes some of them are girls I actually know), hey its a start I guess. I just don't want to die before I find someone, I feel like time is running out.
-
Heh, I had a girlfriend in October, but I found out it was a relationship I didn't really want.
-
As I stated in the other thread I took this day to confess my feelings for someone I cared about. That is what V-day should be about. Even though you can still do that on any other day of the year...
So...our school is having this "stoplight" day on Valentines' day where you wear an orange shirt if you're "taken," yellow if you're "friends", or green if you're single. You can guess which color I'll be wearing.
Last year, everyone in my school wore pink and red. Back then I hated Valentine's Day and vowed to wear blue next year to express my disdain for the holiday, if you can believe that. :P
-
It is almost a shame that no one even knows who St. Valentine was, or what he stood for. He'd be appalled by today's practice.
Same thing about St. Patrick. Stupid green drunk people in the streets...

AHHHHHHH STOP WITH THE "I need a girl" CRUD.
It's NOT pathetic that you've never had a girlfriend at this point in time. It's perfectly fine. You (and now CTOAN) are getting on my (and I'm sure others') nerves with complaining about it.
It's exactly as Sapphira says. If you're not content with being alone, you'll NEVER be content with a significant other. Be patient. You'll find one later on, and you'll see that girls, when you get older, will actually start to look for people with personality, not looks.
I feel like time is running out.
It definitely isn't. As I said, you have plenty of time. It's not like your whole life will end after high school. That's when it actually STARTS (well, it should).
-
Dude, I'm three years older than you and by default am just as inexperienced with women.
It's not so much that time is running out, which it isn't, it's just that there's this weird social viewpoint that males over a certain age (which seems to get lower and lower as time goes on) that haven't had a girlfriend are somehow pathetic. This viewpoint starts from other guys who are more experienced, so to speak, and if you get even older (I don't know, 23-25?) it extends to any girls you might want to date. Not to mention that the longer you're single and not particularly satisfied with it (and it tends to weigh you down emotionally), the less likely it is that your personality will attract women.
I'll put it this way, though. I'll be extremely disappointed if I go from single to having to raise kids (at age 30+, I am not going to try and raise children before then) without having some fun first, so to speak. Though it seems this is the path my life is taking to this point.
-
So...what are you guys doing for "Shallow commercialization of love" day? (Gee, is commercialization even a word? If not, I copyright it 2007.)
-
Nothing. The day sucks, with or without a girl. I'm glad I'm single, because I'd be spoiling a brat with whom I'll only know for two more years.
-
One of the reasons I am glad I don't have a significant other. They'd just be eating through my already empty wallet. :P
-
Couldn't you just find someone who feels the same way about Valentine's day as you? I mean, if being with a person means you suffer for a day of love, doesn't that kinda mean find someone else?
-
One of the reasons I am glad I don't have a significant other. They'd just be eating through my already empty wallet. :P
That depends on how significant the other is. If you share things it could actually be cheaper for both of you.
-
Wow...you guys posted almost 3 pages without me...in one day.
As far as commercials and sales and specials for V-Day...they make V-Day just another day to make big sells. V-Day is profitable to them.
Conversation Hearts are corny.
Plus I have no one to give them to.
-
1. Idiots for thinking it's bad that you don't have a girlfriend (see: ssM)
2. Idiots for thinking that if you have a girlfriend she will automatically be shallow enough to hate you if you don't waste your money (though I guess a lot of girls in high school are like that ? )
3. Idiots for thinking societal "standards" matter at all
-
I don't think anyone understands anything about relationships at all.
Not all people are shallow.
You don't need to be in a relationship to be happy.
Relationships aren't automatically time, money, and energy-wasting, and if you feel like they are, you have no perception of what love really is.
Why do people have such clashing views on them? You guys seem to either be desperate to be in relationship or are appalled by it.
My advice? If you're in high school (or younger), you're likely not ready to be able to handle a mature relationship. And even if you are, which is unlikely (heck, many ADULTS aren't mature enough), almost none of your peers are--including potential girlfriends/boyfriends.
In general, until you grow into a person who is no longer selfish, thinking first and/or only about yourself, you're not capable of loving another person, and therefore shouldn't even worry about relationships. At all.
Not wanting to "waste your time" with relationships is a selfish attitude, resenting "having to give" something is selfish, wanting to be in one because everyone else is and/or you want to feel better about yourself is selfish, automatically doing or rebelling against something that society deems normal/right without forming your own personal outlook is selfish, loathing yourself is selfish.
How do you break selfishness? Start loving others, caring for them, regardless of who they are. Don't think of what they've done for/to you or have to offer you; it's irrelevant. This includes loving yourself.
When you stop focusing on yourself and what you want (that doesn't mean ignore or neglect yourself; notice I said focus), you can begin to love, and when you love, the selfishness melts away. Not to mention you grow as a person. And you know what? When you're unselfish and love others unconditionally, people notice. People are drawn to (attracted to) it, become drawn to you.
-
Sapphira is a very intelligent person.
-
Yes, I wonder how well her strats have worked for her personally. ;)
-
:)
I'm still working on growing, learning to love and not be selfish. I have a ways to go still. I'm also not worrying about (romantic) relationships, either, at least trying not to (V-day hype makes it more challenging). I guess I'm taking my own advice: "until you grow into a person who is no longer selfish . . . [you] shouldn't even worry about relationships." ;)
-
I have yet to fall in love, 'cause that's not really my thing. I'm like a bachelor, sort of-ish kind of. Well, I would be, if girls weren't so icky. In fact, on Valentine's Day, I'm just going to make a big treehouse, and it'll have, like, the biggest-est tire swing EVER, and there won't be any girls allowed. That is, if it all goes according to plan...
Oh, plus it'll have rockets.
-
Do you need any slingshot-wielding guards? Because I totally can do that!
-
(V-day hype makes it more challenging).
I fail to understand this sentence in the context of everything else you just said.
-
... Um, wow.
-
I already knew how stupid the whole "I need a girl" thing was. I actually kept telling myself that a relationship was totally unnecessary at that point and would just weigh me down. Then suddenly I ran into this girl who had more in common with me than any other girl I've ever known, and I care lot about her. She isn't one of those other girls that were mentioned in this thread, she's.... different.
-
I like Valentine's Day! I like candy too!
Wario always likes candy!
-
I strongly detest Valentine's Day. It's nothing but a "holiday" devoted to pure commercialism (I'm not buying my (metaphorical) girlfriend a lobster for Valentine's Day). Also, the teachers make us give "valentines" to everybody. Including people of the same gender. That's just gay.
-
....Uh-oh! *runs off*
-
Oh please, as if modern Valentines were even relevant to the love aspect of the holiday. They're all like "You're cool" and "Look at how glittery this card is" and "Look a popular cartoon character is depicted giving candy to people here."
-
Yeah I'm not sure anyone knows what I'm exactly looking for or how I actually am, there are people out there that know how things work believe it or not. And have you ever thought that you could die any second? Just because you're young doesn't mean your resistant to death. People don't always live a long and fulfilling life. And if you're so so annoyed about my comments, how about you just don't read them? Thats a lot simpler that than asking people not to.
-
"Tacky Heart Shaped Novelties" sounds about right. They are kind of tacky, and after eating an entire box of them, your fingers are left all dusty and smell of Heart candies.
On a related note: Somebody should tell the owner of that Says-it site (Church Sign Generator) to add the Heart candies to the list of things users can customize. Users could make the message, then choose the color of the font, and the color of the heart. Good times! :D
-
That reminds me of a certian Simpsons holiday episode...
-
The heart candies are terrible. They just remind me of.............really nasty tasting food.
-
Including people of the same gender. That's just gay.
Your homophobia is beginning to make me sick. You can love someone of the same gender and not be a homosexual. It's only when you are sexually attracted to a person of the same sex. Oh and SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS IS NOT A HOMOSEXUAL He's a sponge and therefore asexual. He even says in one episode that he reproduces by budding.
-
Completely missed that one...
Oh CTOAN those examples you gave in that other thread that apparently "proves" the character's sexuality are bunk, just to back up SolidShroom a bit. I'll bring a few up, but make the text size a bit smaller as to not distract the people from the actual topic of this thread.
I hate Spongebob. Not just because of how childishly sickening and demented it is, but because I've noticed many areas in the cartoon that are homosexually suggesstive.
Spongebob: Let's promise never to fight again.
(Spongebob and Patrick hold hands)
So they're holding hands. Both characters have a child-like demeanor and many children of the same gender think that it'd be okay to hold hands. I'm sure even YOU thought this was okay when you were about the age of 4 or 5. This IS a show for younger children, so the main characters usually have to relate to their audience in SOME way.
Spongebob: Patrick, why did you take off your pants?
Patrick: This stuff (invisible spray) stains clothes.
Spongebob: Good thinking! (takes off his pants)
Um....okay. Again, another thing little children like to do, strip in front of each other. They don't know any better, and I'd say that really isn't a good reason that makes Spongebob a homosexual. The characters are anatomically incorrect anyway, why bother?
Hm....
-
I agree with SolidShroom, CTOAN.
And according to me valentines given to people of the same gender is to say "I love you" AS A FRIEND. No homosexuality about that!
-
I wish I were Spongebob on Valentine's Day. He's always getting all the attention from everyone.
I don't hate or like Valentine's day because I let it pass without a second thought. I just hope no one tries to give me anything, because I don't have anything to give them.
-
*throws away the gift he was going to give Markio*
-
*Glorb takes the gift that RP threw away, and discovers it's a test tube full of experimental hairspray*
-
*SMOOCHIES*
-from Wario!

Quit bein' such a homophobe! There's nothing wrong with little brotherly love every now and then! Com'ere! *attempts to give CTOAN a big hug*
-
So last Christmas I went home and gave gifts to both of my parents. Ya, I had to give gifts to my dad -- ugh, that's so GAY!
-
About the spongebob thing, in one episode he is watching a pink sponge on TV, it could be some sort of porn, the sponge on TV is pink, so it's a female, also, in another, when Spongebob first meets Sandy, he brings her flowers, so he couldn't be gay. It seems the two like each other!
-
But seriously guys...we ARE talking about a sponge with human-like abilities here.

Who?? Derr... I mean, Zuhh??
-
Agh. The "G" word has been used way too many times here.
Happy Freakin' Valentines Day guys. This day sucked.
-
Nothing really happened that good today. Cried a few times. Got yelled at. Someone was putting their granola bar crumbs on me. I joined the ranks of the capital letter people. Did social studies. Couldn't think of anything to write in my blog.
-
Why exactly is porn hidden in a spoiler box?
Also, I can't believe you've all been talking about Spongebob and valentines and no one ever brought this lulzy material up:
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg164.imageshack.us%2Fimg164%2F4669%2Fblackspongebobsquarepankt5.jpg&hash=1c21a05c926c6ac0eb03adfe78f5bc8e)
-
I have noticed a pattern. Many conversations here that were once interesting then turn into a battle about how to use the word "gay" or about Spongebob. This one, unfortunately, has evolved into both.
-
That's because CTOAN or NB could never keep their homophobic mouths shut.
-
Oh boy, here we go again...
-
NB isn't here anymore. The nightmare is over. >:(
Spongbob is asexual and use of the "G" word as an insult is stupid. Can we move on?
Anyway, Valentines Day for me was..........okay, I guess (I know I said it sucked, but it wasn't that bad). Everything was normal.....actually, it was better 'cause the girls at my school were dressed in some pretty awesome stuff. After school I went to church, and that was it. So it wasn't all bad.
-
I enjoyed the tin of chocolate covered Altoids I got. I ate them all before I even got home...
So, I didn't have a bad Valentine's Day at all.
-
Don't count on it, NB could be anywhere, like that pebble, or that thread!
-
I got a cookie. !
-
Me too!
In hopes to derail this topic some more: I messed up on a question for my physics midterm. I didn't realize that Sponge Bob couldn't get his driver's license.
Edit: Should I have said, "It's"?
-
So today I wore a light brown shirt that I wrote "Happy Shallow Commercialization of Love day" on. A lot of people got a real laugh out of it. It was all meant as a joke.
-
Today I wore a red and white shirt, black skirt, white scarf, and was unnaturally sad.
That shirt sounds funny :D
-
I ended up eating a cookie off the ground. Someone also left a tin of half-eaten cupcakes lying around. I had a piece of one. A girl gave me a lollipop, as she was giving them to everyone. One friend shared his birthday cake and candy because it was his birthday.
In conclusion, I ate unhealthy things today(for some cases in an unhealthy fashion). Why is Valentine's Day more about food? I wanted to see more flowers or heart-shaped things that look romantic. I guess one can't be picky when dealing with holidays. It's also Black History Month and Healthy Kid's Food Month or something. I guess February really needed some hype.
-
Because otherwise, it's the most boring month of the year.
-
I didn't have school yesterday, so my Valentine's Day activities ended up being going into town for a banquet that got cancelled, and playing MKDD with my girlfriend and one of her crazy friends. I have a feeling all the little kids are going to be doing card-giving today, which means I'll need my MP3 player more than ever so I won't have to listen to them babbling on the bus ride home (and since I forgot my player at my girlfriend's crazy friend's house, I didn't have it in the morning to
block out crappy music help me stay sane).
How is February boring? It gets an extra day every four years, leading to confusing birthdays for the unprepared. Also, regarding Markio's comment, I saw plenty of hearts, though they didn't look romantic, floating off into the air the way they were. Also, heart-shaped moon. It wasn't eclipsed.
-
Because otherwise, it's the most boring month of the year.
You offend my people you racist.
-
Woah, no need for name calling!
I'm half African and I think we should celebrate our history year-round (if this is what you were speaking of)! Plus we should show each other we love and care year-round!
EDIT
Who are your people which were offended? I needed to back myself up because I think I sound stupid in the above post.
-
No, racist would be starting a European history month, or a United Caucasian College Fund.
Anyways, they only had like $3.00 in clearance priced candy hearts at Walgreen's today. A bit disappointing, but better than none like they had last year.
-
Today everyone found out that it was me who sent the girl I liked that rose. She thanked me for it, but by the time I saw her, the initial shock from it had worn off, otherwise she would've hugged me to death. XD
Some of the other students asked if we were "going out". I still haven't quite grasped the concept of "going out", and I'm unsure if she and I are actually a couple. :P
-
That sweet ^_^ :D.

Eh it wasn't really serious at all. But it's not like I really oppose that opinion either.
-

No, I meant that if it WEREN'T for Black History and other stuff, it would be boring. What with all the cold weather, school and all. :P I know you were just joking, of course.
-
Sorry for taking it seriously XD. I feel stupid+embarrassed.
-
Don't be. ;D
-
Uh I'm pretty sure EM was saying that because you said if it weren't for being Black History month February would be boring. Since EM isn't black.
-
I hate how anything that has to do with being white, and starting a seperate white group is racist. I hate it how people geralize white people who want to get ahead in life as racist. I read a story of a highschool where there was heritage groups for people of different races (Asian, African, Jewish...And so on) well one person realized there wasn't anything special for white people, so they made a group for white people (keep in mind it was not racist, it was only for students with caucasian descent) The group was seen as racist brought to coart, and they made them abolish the club or group. That is ridiculous. Why is it that when a white person sais the N word, it is seen as racist, yet a black person can say cracker or honky and get away with it?
-
Well, yeah, it's a big stupid issue in my opinion. I think the reason that the N word is bad (which is why we have to call it the N word, instead of its actual name) is because it has a grisly history to it involving slavery, lynchings and all kinds of horrible stuff. On the other hand, being called "cracker" is hardly offensive because white people were never persecuted in the way African-Americans were. That said, both are racial slurs and thus inherently offensive because the point is to insult or demean someone because of the color of their skin.
-
It is still said in the same rancor as the N word though.
-
(which is why we have to call it the N word, instead of its actual name)
We don't have to call it that. "******" (or any other word, for that matter) is not bad unless it is being used as a racial slur or in an otherwise offensive manner.
-
It's about who is saying what to who. A guy could say N_____ to someone he knows as a term of connection, as a friend, and the other person wouldn't think anything of it. It would just be another way of greeting or general speech. That can go with any word or term that is found offensive. But if the same person walked up to a stranger and called them something, even if it wasn't meant as a slur or insult, would likely be taken as such. It really depends on who you speak to.
Also, I agree that having a month dedicated to "Black History" is racist. I remember last year some celebrity, I think Samuel Jackson, had a fit because everyone should remember their history all the time. I had more to say, but the prospect of food has thrown my train of thought off.
-
Yeah, why can't there be a "White History" month? Because everyone else would think its racist. See white people can't celebrate being white and catch a break for once without being racist, its always racist racist racist. Only the white man can be a racist, atleast thats what the media tells me.
-
Not quite what I was trying to say, but, alright. I meant that there shouldn't be any month to celebrate one particular group. It should be something we all think about, not just 30 or 31(or 28, in this case) days, but rather it should be something we find important enough to remember every day.
-
I don't think there should a certain month to celebrate a certain heritage. People should celebrate their heritage all of the time and not just in a specific month.
I find it amusing how this thread switched from Valentines Day angst to a discussion about February's Black History month and racism.
-
Aren't we all people? Why can't we all just get along?
Slavery in my opinion is a sign of extreme stupidity. Any guy who can't do his own work and must punish another to do it for him is a loser.
I don't think God put us here to hate each other based on our looks. I bet if a far off visitor from space came down here and saw the way we treated each other, he'd get the urge to blow us up.
-
Yeah well one things for sure that I'm gonna be out on the St. Patty's day parade. And its gonna be fun.

I also hate V-day, mostly because we have these suckers we give to the person we love in school, but their 1$!!! They should be free Dx What if someone is like "O KTHX NOW LEEVE >:D" they also put ads up over in school, which are crudely done. People who don't get suckers usually have to try to contain their depression until passing period when they are all like "WAAAAH, I WANT SUCKA, NO ONE LOVZ ME T-T". I didn't get any but I was thankful not to get some from a retarded girl xD. Everyone gave this one girl named katie one because she's a who-... Um... never mind... This is a kids site o-0. Well anyway, HAPPY V-DAY TMK Staff and members ^^

I'm surprised no one went off after reading about how Adicus didn't want a Valentine from "a retarded girl" or anything. I'd talk about racism, slavery, and what I can contribute to history as a black teen, but I feel I've arrived at this thread too late and I'm tired.
-
Aww, come on! You're never to late! Adicus post sort, eh, the capitals hurt my eyes, plus I was tired, so I didn't read it through.
-
I think our attention was drawn to the image, which I found out comes from here (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=226).
-
I may be alone in having this opinion, but I'm deathly tired of all of Adicus's posts ending with "this is a kids site ^_O;".
-
I don't know but I think we should bring some level of adult humor in this site. Nothing that over the top, but still a little adultness would be nice in here.
-
I freakin love that comic!
-
ssM gets to go jump in a hole now.
-

I suppose it's a "kid's site" compared to Gaia Online, which is from where Adicus comes.
-
We don't need adult humor on this site. I'm content with going elsewhere for that.
-
So an adult walks into this bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, "Whoa, where'd you get that?" The parrot says, "The office building downtown. They've got adults all over the place!"
Yeah, I got nothin'.
-
*Duh-dun, Tshh!*
Why did the adult chickin cross the road? To get to the other side!
-
An adult walks into a bar. Ouch.
Yo mama is such an adult that she is married and has children. OOOOHH!!!
-
Wow...then she REALLY qualifies to be an adult...WAIT I thought those kind of jokes were the ones to get you beat up.
-
you only get beat up if nobody laughs
-
If it's anything we don't need, it's more not adult humor. We should be able to cuss like sailors, drink like sailors, and chase lusty wenches like sailors.
Oh, wait...
Sailors = pirates...
Pirates ~= ninjas...
On second thought, never mind.
-
I dunno, I feel like I can't truly say what I want to say without cussing now and then.
-
I still find "cuss" to be weird. I usually say "swear" or "curse".
Though, I've been able to say what I want to say without adding swears in a long time ago. I don't get why people my age insist on dropping the f-bomb in every other sentence. The word is used in the guys' locker room at least over 700 times a day.
What also urks me (as people in #tmk and its various daughter rooms know) is that people start their sentences with the present tense of this word. It has NOTHING to do with the rest of the sentence, it is just there to be there.
For example:
"F-ing, yesterday I was at work when my boss goes "you're fired" and I'm so f-ing p'd."
-OR-
"F-ing you smoke 2 packs a day, HOW CAN YOU RUN THAT FAST?"
I can understand it's in their everyday vocabulary along with other derogatory terms, but using it like that just makes me go AAHHHHH in my head.
Oops, this isn't the ANGST thread...
Note: I tried to censor as best I could while being understandable at the same time. Don't hate me. :P

Trust me, you're not alone.
-
Yeah... I find I'm pretty concise without the use of expletives.
-
It's really ridiculous. It's as if everyone in my P.E. class (my only not-honors class as there is not one, what a surprise) has Tourette's Syndrome. A person will say, "F-ing dude it's cold as f-ing H-ll out here, s--t." Confusing, as it's generally believed that Satan's domain is fiery torture. Also, this brand of person also seems to be angry at... everything. For no reason. Like after a fat burrito for lunch we often go to the nearby grocery store where I get some Swiss Cake Rolls, and the people in the alley with food from there (there's no other place to sit, we eat there on occasion) are always throwing things at each other and saying things along the lines of "F- YOU B-!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sadly, most people are like this.
...I'm afraid that I hate most people. What to do...
...Oh right, it's because I live in a realization of Rogueport in the middle of nowhere, basically. Though from what I can gather, many places are like this. Is Canada?
Trust me, you're not alone.
Seconded. The dude's below the suggested age limit, even (I was in the first three weeks of my membership so that's not my complaint, but isn't the comment ironic?).
-
I don't know if playing Phoenix Wright for probably longer than is healthy in one sitting put me in a weird mood or what, but:
"F-ing you smoke 2 packs a day, HOW CAN YOU RUN THAT FAST?"
and
a fat burrito for lunch
both are awesome statements.
-
LD, for some reason I agree. I think I've been playing WarioWare: Smooth Moves too much. When I read "fat burrito" I imagined a burrito with a lump of fat in it.
-
My sister teaches at a public school, and the children there, as young as the SECOND grade, cuss like sailors.
-
Yeah, as I've stated before, the world is slowly slipping into the gullet of the Sarlacc.
-
As has someone from every generation ever.
Probably using different terms though.
My point is, the world isn't actually getting worse. You just think it is.
-
Well, by morality standards, I'd say it is. But otherwise, Chups's right.
-
Although I almost never cuss while in front of people, alone, I cuss so much that if I had a nickel for every cuss word I cussed, I'd have a lot of nickels. Seriously, alone, I stick in the F- and S-words to any phrase just to spice it up. For example:
"What the friend is this falling sock doing here? It's not mine!"
-
Well, by morality standards, I'd say it is. But otherwise, Chups's right.
Please, it's been that way ever since the Renaissance.
-
The ancient Greeks were complaining about morality standards too.
-
And the weird thing is, it never actually goes anywhere. Try to think of something that we do "worse" than Greeks or anybody in the past ever. I mean, the Greeks had public gladiator fights and we can't show a boobie on cable TV.

Boobie. XD XD. Sorry, I'm being childish. O RLY Lizard Dude? Cause I was flipping through channels one day and I saw something...disturbing...on cable TV.
-
It must've been HBO...
-
It had to be Cinemax...
-
Disturbing? Like, weasel stomping?
