Why do I have a feeling this thread is more for having a backstab at people who use said words than the words themselves.

one "punani" wz fine, but multiple uses on same thread = come on, use yr crude words thesaurus

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 1 October 2007 05:27 (nineteen years ago)

i think this thread is indicative of the sexist attitudes against womyn that permeate this board. are these children, these little girls, sex objects to you? is that all they can be? can they only exist under your male gaze? besides, they are a bit fat.

surely they banned this word in 1994

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 1 October 2007 05:33 (nineteen years ago)

I only used it cause Dan always does ;_; It is a pretty eww word.

And as for "womyn"... &^%#%$@#$@#@@ *explosive rage*

Rather than ban these, I think ilxors should be forced to paypal a small sum into a "swear jar" type thing whenever they use one of these words. The money will then fund ILX costs.

also add:

"inna ___ stylee" (25c into swear jar)
"the media" (5c into swear jar)

― Jon Lewis, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, I know that. I was asking if that was Tom Baker in the cocoon.

"Hitler" in any paragraph of more than 20 words.

― Jon Lewis, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

On 12 March 1938, CENSORED pressured Austria into unification with Germany (the Anschluss) and made a triumphal entry into Vienna on 14 March. Next, he intensified a crisis over the German-speaking Sudetenland districts of Czechoslovakia. This led to the Munich Agreement of September 1938, which authorized the annexation and immediate military occupation of these districts by Germany. As a result of the summit, CENSORED was TIME magazine's Man of the Year for 1938. British prime minister Neville Chamberlain hailed this agreement as "Peace in our time", but by giving way to CENSORED military demands Britain and France also left Czechoslovakia to CENSORED mercy. CENSORED ordered Germany's army to enter Prague on 15 March 1939, and from Prague Castle proclaimed Bohemia and Moravia a German protectorate.

― max, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 17:56 (nineteen years ago)

I was thinking more of the ol' Hitler as reductio ad absurdum rhetorical move.

"What if Hitler was your neighbor, would you still be for gun control THEN?!?!1111"

"And I suppose if M.I.A. sampled Hitler you'd head-nod to that too?"

― Jon Lewis, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 18:06 (nineteen years ago)

someone should devise a law banning that rhetorical move.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

"What if M.I.A. 'sampled' Hitler like she 'sampled' Diplo?" <--- the more likely ILM-based example

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

"If Hitler blanked a donkey, I guess THEN it wouldn't be okay?!"

― Jordan, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

"webinar"

― bell_labs, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

I've been fighting against the rhetorical "pulling the Hitler" move for years, and I fear it is an unwinnable battle. As long as there are are first-year philosophy ethics classes, the Hitler will be pulled.

― John Justen, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:46 (nineteen years ago)

best/worst masturbation metaphor ever?

― John Justen, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:46 (nineteen years ago)

perhaps if you gave the law banning this rhetorical move a recognizable name, it would be more potent?

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

You could call it Justen's Law but everyone would assume it was a prohibition against underwear.

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

How about calling it the "Children Are Our Future Law"?

― Jon Lewis, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

lol these dudes don't know what you're talking about, one guy

― river wolf, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

I do. I just find "pulling the Hitler" more amusing.

― John Justen, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

Also, Godwin's law supposedly intranut specific.

― John Justen, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 21:12 (nineteen years ago)
