Voinjama Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 How terribly pervy and dirty old mannish my father gets after a few pints. He's a bit of a creep while sober aswell leering at girls, but at least he's discreet. After a few pints, he'll actively stare up a sitting girl's skirt, stop to watch porn in a hotel lobby and make stupidly inappropriate suggestive jokes to my newly acquired 12 year old step sister. I'm sure someone will say he sounds like a legend, but when you're putting up with it for years and you've no brother or sister to turn to and say what the **** is he up to, it wears a bit thin.My friend just found out his Dad has around 5 kids from mistresses he's been banging on business trips. In fact, one of the mistresses and said child stayed with my friend for 2 months with his Dad giving him some lame excuse about them being 'friends of the family and in need of a place to stay'. I'm not sure which Dad you'd prefer. :shock: :shock: The most shocking thing I have read all day. How did your friend find out? I take it his relationship with his old man has deteriorated now.

mjmooney Posted February 20, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2011 The fact that there are very few oaths and exclamations (beyond the usual sex and excrement based ones) which aren't religious-based. So if I say (or write) "Christ!" or "Jeez!" or even "Bloody {='by Our Lady'} hell!" I'm liable to get believers saying "Oh, if you're such an atheist, how come you keep invoking the name of Our Lord then, eh?" And they have a point, actually. But short of trying to make up some new ones ("By Dawkins!", anyone? ) - which is just not going to happen - there's no alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legov Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Haha, the point is that Christians can't even really use the swearing argument because it's blasphemy - they should be embarrassed that they are even bringing it up because it's tantamount to "using His name in vain". But funnily enough some Christians think it's something to be proud of - blaspheming the Lord. Bottom line, if you're Christian, you're NOT supposed to talk about the usage of phrases like "oh my God" or "Jeez Christ!", or you risk burning in hell for eternity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, if you're Christian, you're NOT supposed to talk about the usage of phrases like "oh my God" or "Jeez Christ!", or you risk burning in hell for eternity That's kind of what I mean, though. Blasphemy is a good outlet for THEM, because it "means" something. It doesn't to me. In a secular society, the "blasphemous" phrases are less offensive in polite society than "****" or even "shit". So that's what we use, all the god-damned time. Even the silly "harmless" ones are just polite versions of either the "dirty" words or the "blashemous" words: flipping = **** heck = hell sugar = shit blimey = (God) blind me crikey = Christ drat = damn gosh = God bloody = by Our Lady strewth = God's truth (going right back to the ones that are no longer in use - zounds = God's wounds, lawks a mussy = Lord have mercy) etc., etc. I sometimes think I should carry little cards to hand out that say: "Disclaimer: From time to time you may hear me utter exclamations that reference the names of various so-called "deities". Please be aware that my use of these words is not intended to offend believers, but equally, does not imply any belief in said "deities" on my part. Thank you for your patience".

Genie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Crawley town against Utd... deep deep into injury time they get a freekick on the half way line, the final whistle should have gone but the ref looks like he's going to allow it, 1 last lump into the box. The dickheads decided to faf over it, wasting time, then the keeper decides he's going to take it, moves the ball 10 yards closer to his own goal, wastes more time doing that kick the dirt to make a lump thing they do, then after all that plays it short. The ref immediately blows the whistle. Bunch of idiots. If they'd just lumped it into the 'mixer' the ref would have allowed a few seconds to see where it would drop.
