F**k off, _______ (fill in the blank!)
« on: January 27, 2008, 12:58:00 pm »
... and don't worry, it isn't an insult! At least, not if you're in Scotland.

(Incidentally, I self-censored the title, for the benefit of people like me who read this from work)

For the Michigan OSU game someone wore a "Fuck OSU" shirt in Michigan and was cited for obscenity.  It went to court and the judge ruled that it was political speech because that was pretty much the consensus of the state of Michigan ;D!

The point of my post before it was removed was that the article clearly states that saying fuck off isn't insulting, yet when I do it it somehow is...strange?

How about we make a special rule for you: don't post in the same threads as rabbit, and don't mention rabbit. Ok? Whether or not the expression has been ruled as not insulting in Scotland has no bearing on your continuing feud with rabbit, and posts like the ones you made only serve to throw more fuel on the fire. And it's a fire that I'm getting tired of trying to control.

Also, no posts have been removed, they've been sent to the trash. You don't have to re-post when things are trashed, they're still available to be read.

Do you seriously believe "Fuck off" isn't insulting?

It's not. It's an instruction. "Your mother reeks of gasoline and spends her money on dog feces" is insulting. :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Anything can be insulting/offending if you take it to be ::).


I'm offended by liberals ... you don't see me moving them to the trash (yet :D)

I think that it also works backwards -- "anything can be insulting/offending if it's meant to be"

If the intent is there, yeah, as I'm sure it was in Trust's post ... but there've been WAY more insulting things said and let go :-\

I'm starting to doubt your capacity for common sense.  If you can't see that an imperative can be intrinsically demeaning and thereby insulting, I don't know what to tell you.  Maybe you should go around your campus telling people to "Suck my dick" and survey their reactions.

Example?  You have to take context into account, which I don't think you are.  If it's in the middle of a heated argument and it was said in addition to something meaningful, it can be excusable.
