Love it: Porcupine-Free Zone

[John Greg]

Lsuoma, thanks for te tagline change. I love it.

"Procupine-Free Zone since 2012"

:lol:

Thumbs up!

Hahaha I approve!

Porcupines are one of the things that drove me away from Pharyngula. Seriously how is it not a rape joke?

Because it came from them.

Ah, but they merely ask you to insert the porcupine yourself, therefore not rape. How can grown adults use arguments like that with a straight face?

At the least, they should think of the porcupine - it can't give consent, so it's definitely unwilling no matter how nicely you ask. But I'm sure Stefunny will be blogging furiously about the threat of porcupine rape any day now. Any day...

[LMU]

I actually think this is somewhat significant, but I may just be a prude or crazy.

Who gets to decide which interpretation of an insult is correct? Because it's not the speaker. When I read through some the Pharyngula threads last year, I was reading through a thread full of rape threats. It actually made me nauseous. The shock and novelty of it might make it funny once, but after that it stops being funny, and eventually it just sounds sick. FTB is not a safe place.

It's really more of a porcupine refuge. Poor creatures have been involuntarily shoved up people's asses ever since atheist liberal feminist vegans got acquainted with the Interwebz.

[Dilurk]

Why are you so worried about tone! There is nothing wrong with using a porcupine to rape someone! Nothing at all! Because it is the argument not the tone! Even if the argument is drowned out and twisted beyond recognition! To complain is because you are tone trolling! You people disgust me. Stick a porcupine up your arse!

[JAB]

it's fine as a motto.... but are you going to enforce it?

[Lsuoma]

Stick that fuckin' 'pine
Up yer fuckin' arse!

Oh, and the misogyny of KBW should bust a few blood vessels in the Baboollies...

[CommanderTuvok]

You can't say cunt in Canada, says Kevin Bloody Wilson. I'd love for KBV to perform at the next big atheist/skeptic con. Can you imagine the number of fainting couches that would have to be on standby. :o :shock:

[John Greg]

Um who is Kevin Bloody Wilson?

In Canada, the word cunt is nowhere near as evil as it is in the US, nor is it as mundane as it is in Oz or Scotland. But there are many reasons for that, the most important being that Canada is that dreadful thing called a cultural mosaic, wherein every incoming culture gets free reign (so to speak, and ideally) to evangelize their cultural mores and customs.

...

But, well, it's not that simple, is it.

[Lsuoma]

Um who is Kevin Bloody Wilson?

John - play the YouTube clip I posted. Then go to YouTube and look for more KBW.

He Strine, from Western Australia.

In fact, his stuff may give you more insight into Franc (who's being very quiet tonight, BTW).

[SenorBeagle]

Y'know, I still remember when my mate introduced me to "Santa Claus You Cunt". Ahhhhhhhh, nearly as good a christmas song as Rage Against The Machine was, here, in the UK, when we stuffed it up The X Factor.

On-topic: does anyone realise what we've done here?? We've created a safe space from porcupines!

Well, it made me laugh... :P

[John Greg]

In fact, his stuff may give you more insight into Franc (who's being very quiet tonight, BTW).

I suspect Franc is fed up with the lot of us.

And I don't blame him.

While I have more patience, and more, um, maleability then Franc (I actually enjoy sitting on fences; Franc - fences, nah, they do not know each other), I quite completely understand his frustration, anger, and general "who gives a fuck anymore".

He has been unfairly scapegoated by a lot of people here (never mind the entirety of FfTB); bunch of fucking Judas goats.

When it comes to the Phrase Who Shall Not Be Named, Franc has said it less, far less, than anyone else at ERV (never mind those sociopaths at FfTB, especially Benson); nonetheless, the Aunt Nannies have, in fetid FfTB Stylee, decided that Franc, who, yes originated the phrase, is guilty of all its misuses, all its sins, all its regurgitations, all its misrepresentations as perpetrated by anyone else.

Scapegoat: Franc said the nasty an' I know this 'cauze Benson told me so.
Scapegoat: Franc said the nasty an' I know this 'cauze Justi told me so.
Scapegoat: Franc said the nasty an' I know this 'cauze decius told me so.
Scapegoat: Franc said the nasty an' I know this 'cauze Aunt Nannie told me so.
Scapegoat: Franc said the nasty an' I know this 'cauze PeeZus told me so.
Scapegoat: Franc said the nasty an' I know this 'cauze GOD told me so.
Scapegoat: Franc said the nasty an' I know this 'cauze The. Whole. Fucking. World. Told. Me. So. Without. Showing. Me. It. Was. True.

quiver; quiver; quviere, Oooh ... show me, show me, show me please!

... Um, well I cannot really, 'cause, um well, you see, Franc said it, oh once, maybe twice, or maybe, ooh heavenses forbidses maybe four, $ FOUR fucking times FOURFUCKINGTIMESIAMGOINGTODIEWITHALLTHISOBSECNITY ... but ... um ... Ophelia ... the truthmaster of Invectivia (a planet somewere we do not want to go) said it 50 fucking times.

Huh; C'mon?!? Can we say GET REAL??

JESUS.

Nuts.

Fucking ridiculous.

[Lsuoma]

Yeah, well it's been a bit of a roller-coaster for all of us. I hope Franc comes back. The cunt.
