Don't be a homan being

Be a homan doing

or going

But try not to be a leaving

Can I be a homan coming?

I like my country

I see "obscene" names and bios in eve in my mother language but i never report because i don't feel offended. Some are ridiculous and some others are funny, but that is all.

In my country saying "boobs" it is not a sin and kids/teens don't have access to machine guns. I like my county. Most of the times.

Sometimes I think the human race is devolving rather than evolving.

You think its adapting specifically in contradiction to its situation?

E.G. Growing gills in a desert or legs in the ocean?

Or that its wanting to have more local power to set taxes and organise local government?

Have you ever seen the movie Idiocracy?

See you're still true to form.

Actually, I'm talking about the mental state rather than the physical.

This is often a cause of many unhappies

I'm just not quite sure how considering words not within their context to be harmful, or assigning arbitrary levels of harmfulness where none is apparent to otherwise innocuous words is more progressive than the alternative.

Those arbitrary levels of harmfulness are those that you apply, not necessarily what everyone else does. Just because you don't perceive harm in a word doesn't mean that harm isn't perceived by someone else.

No, it sounds terrible, and somewhat like Woody Allen's "Sleeper"

Usually I'd say: Too much blabla in the OP by a typical bullshitter ...

... but ...

... but Anal Canal had his name for seven freaking years!

SEVEN!

And now he got it removed!

Da ****!


That's real bullshit!!

He might have a questionable humour towards genitals,
and tubes that serve as ways for the body to remove unwanted stuff,
but he's a nice guy!

He really is and this is just unfair!!

This really pisses me off!!

It's actually a very clever movie that does well to illustrate some issues in the world that anyone with a rational cell in their membranes can relate to. Ever argued with a creationist? You'll appreciate this move.

My point is; so what if they do take offense?

Why is that more important when its meaningless?

If I take offense at your name, does that mean your name is now inherently bad, or does it mean Ive chosen to react to it based on my own values which (by definition of most agreed on moral philosophy) I have no right to impose on you?

Would I appreciate it if I presume that the willfully ignorant cannot rise to power?

Also, does it mention the rest of the world or only the US of States?

Nothing like a thread about character name bans, CODE. and proper use of English in the morning.

So taking offense at someone's name is meaningless because it imposes your values on that person?

Pfft, as if I'm going to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it. Go watch it and find out.

Nah it still sounds awful

Thanks anyway

That isn't what I said.

I asked if offense was more important than tolerance when the thing that is called offensive has no inherent meaning.

But you asking your question suggests that you think I would perfectly rational if I stated your name offended me for some equally meaningless reason.

Ah, so what you're saying is that taking offense at someone's name is meaningless if you think their values are meaningless.

Not everyone considers all the reasons to be offended as universal.

No that's not what I said either. One more go;

Why is the word "Anal" offensive to you?

I don't particularly find "Anal" offensive, nor do I understand why it's at all relevant.

That's sure what I gathered from what you wrote. And I don't particularly find "Anal" offensive, nor do I understand why it's at all relevant.
