    YOU KNOW WHAT, MMA.

     

    I*'D SAY JOLEK'D HELP, BUT...

     

    WELL, YOU KNOW HOW I AM WITH PLANNING.

     

    Also yeah, If only one combat sport, either Pankration, Sambo, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

     

    Striking, in a real world setting, is almost never as useful as wrestling and grappling.

    I guess this is the part where I play out my role in CRANE.

  2. if you “darn” someone, you stitch their clothing for them
    Only when used in that context. This essay is annoying to someone who used to study english and language, because you're ignoring what might be the most important part of the English language: it's flexible. "Darn" used in it's original meaning might mean stitching clothing, when used as an exlamatory remark, it means something entirely different, and is entirely analogous with the word it is substituting, and in effect, means the exact same thing. That's why I don't think there's any difference between substitutes and "cuss words". They aren't more polite, they aren't less obscene, they mean the exact same thing, and you mean the exact same thing when you use them as an exlamation or in place of a cuss word. You might as well use the real word, because you already mean the same thing, and the far more important thing to deal with is why you're using the word, not which word you're using.I'd much rather hang out with people who are honest and say what they mean instead of trying to "be polite" and come across as just hypocritical or holier-than-thou when they use dumb substitutes that mean the exact same thing in that context. It's ridiculous, and it's dishonest. And I'd rather hang out with those people than with the ones who "don't swear" but think there's nothing wrong with using "clean" words to insult. The truly profane words are the ones we use when we're purposefully insulting others, whether it's "dumb" or a cuss word. (I'm not saying anyone here is like that, but as someone who used to make the same arguments, and said the same substitutes, for the same reasons, these are the things I've learned).

     

    Hey LL, where've we seen that argument before?
