Difference between verbal griefing and the right to be hatefull?

I'm jumpy lane til the day I go...i keep tellin ya...like jimmy hopkins you better run weak sauce!

the name is Lane...Jumpman Lane
and I'm here to set the whole MFSL on fire!

Ease back before ya get burnt the F up!

beeyotch!

you'd be playin' tiddlywinks is it were'nt for me! stalkin some simple lil ho...talkimn bout how ya in love...

get ya self together figwood! look in the mirror and man the f up!

(sigh)... Just because you have not been there doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Doesn't matter what the age group is and it doesn't matter how large or small the group may be. You may have lived in 'many places', and you may have 'mingled' in any variety of circles... but walking around in any major city shows you nothing....NOTHING!

I can walk around the streets of my city and not see a murder happen. I can walk around my streets and not see one child smacked because they were crying. I can walk around my city streets and might not see a single dog fight..... However I can clearly hear the gunshots, and I can hear the screaming and the crying and I can hear the dogs barking and yelping in the distance. If I were to drive 30 minutes north I could show you million dollar homes where our local CEO's and sports personalties live. I can then drive you 20 minutes west and show you the spot on the sidewalk where a 15 year old girl was stabbed in the head while walking home because one of the 'young, small and socioeconomic' members agreed to do it to pass his 'initiation'. I knew her family... and grief is something most of you should pray you never have to deal with.

do not feed the troll please.

I can't believe I am agreeing with Chris here . But he has a point, the soldier has to be trained in a way to ensure he will follow orders. It's not only a matter of kill when your life is at risk. The soldier has to believe that his CO has a valid reason to ask him to go and (probably) get killed trying to accomplish a goal. If the soldier starts questioning the reasons behid the order, the whole army concept get lost.

In another post I said I don't understand the military mind, but I respect it.

1) There is a difference between being nasty when it's deserved and using a blunderbuss approach.

2) Calling people "stupid" does not get them to change their behavior - it gets them pissed off and defensive. It doesn't work, so there's no reason to go there immediately - unless they ignore the polite advice, in which case "stupid" may very well apply.

Watch out Don, agreeing with me will get you put on the watch list.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist.

I'm saying it's not the norm, as you are painting it.

Depends on where you live....

Boy, you're fast!

Listen, that's STILL just a small percentage of people, no matter where you live.

coco

small percentage of 'People' in the sense of total popluation.... fine.

You questioned someone's comment about there being areas where 'being soft' gets you beat down. Truly doesn't matter if it only makes up 2% of the nations homicide rate... Places like this do exist and in those areas the homcide rates are typically higher than the national average. Some small town in Iowa might see a murder every 20 years. Cities like mine saw 86 homicides in last year... and we aren't in the top of the spread.

I gotta agree with you there. Makes no sense whatsoever, does it?



ANY MAJOR CITY? Uh...I'm starting to doubt that you even live on *Earth*, let alone in the USA.



Ever lived in Harlem, in New York City?
I too have lived in a few spots, and visited many more:

Milwaukee, WI
Charlotte, NC
Pensacola, FL
San Antonio, TX
Saginaw, MI
Spofford, NH
Albany, NY
Springfield, IL
Miami, FL
New Orleans, LA

Like Turbo Streeter pointed out...just because you don't experience something *yourself*, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Have you ever been a prisoner on Death Row? Do you think the Death Penalty is imaginary JUST because you haven't seen it enforced with your own 2 eyes? That train of thought is extremely naive.

Cairo, Egypt... Tokyo, Japan... You haven't lived everywhere in the World...does that mean that these places don't exist? Not at all. You could tell me that the existence of Chicago itself is another "lie" that I made up, and you would be wrong.

Have you ever seen an Armadillo give birth? Me neither. But they must, or they would be extinct. If we both died today without ever having born witness to the event, it would still exist.



I couldn't have said it better.



Yep.

Coconut Koala, it's nice that you live in a nice spot, but it's only a small *piece* of this planet, not the whole.

Uh, that's only if you don't go outside and socialize with people. Otherwise this is pretty naive to assume. I'd like to see where you get the statistic you're referring to. What are the actual percentage points on that one?

It is actually in the nature of a lot of people (if not society as a whole) to take full advantage of another's kindness and give only as much as you can afford to lose or give with the expectation of recieving something in return. I bet you even do it and don't know!

"Buy low! Sell high!"

I think that wins the "Best Analogy In The SL Forums" award.

Being hatefull is when you...well, hate someone, their "kind" or what they represent to you.

Griefing is when you're messing with someone to get some sort of reaction or otherwise to cause mischief.

These often overlap, but aren't necessarily interchangeable.

I'm proud to say I've only participated in the latter for just about all my life. I just can't get worked up over something to the point where I would actually hate someone or something.

shut up beeyotch...i luv vanilla ice...check out any pick of me! i like to let down the top so my hair can blow too!...and i'm a lil bit mo dangerous than Malibu...square biz...

and what's wrong with being a cauc! i got hammers that pop too! bet that! beeyotch!

i promise i wont!

Okay with all the posting you've done in the last half hour you have officially broken through the "Incredibly Annoying, Attention-Seeking, Inflamatory Jack-Ass With Too Much Time On Their Hands" Barrier into the "Plucky Comic Relief That Should Be Allowed to Get Away With Things Others Wouldn't Simply for Entertainment Purposes" Zone.

It's kinda like that Superman movie with the Cryptonian criminals trapped in that glass sheet thing...only I'm not sure who's in it looking out!

*giggles uncontrollably*

yeah don, a watch list, perv alert and some mo sh*t...keep ya eyes peeled...swing by the next ish of my mag..i'll put ya name right under chris carpe a cinder-block-upside-his-d@m heads! cause he freaky! ru?

turbo absolutely right...all my jokin aside..rl if you walk up to and just start talkin to me or anybody i'm talkin to without sayin excuse me first, i'm smackin you in the mouth... now that's polite and not soft...but if you DO act all squishy, you gonna get treated just like the lil b*tch are

you roll up on me in sl and say something i don't like, i'm talkin cold cash sh@t to you get all scared, or can't defend yourself vebally and try to ban/eject me...

cause that's just how i am rl...
my daddy made sure we could all fight, so we could be men where ever we went, not walk sideways, or apologize for nothin...

i was 7 years old the last time i ever said i was sorry for anything...

f*ck you is more than likely to come out of my mouth!
be a man if you are gonna be around me...be about some serious business...go around apologizin' and accomodatin' you gonna punked slam down!

be a b*tch if you want to be...like i say over and over and over in this forum MAN the F up...or you really better run weak sauce!!!

take it how ya want to , but i'm as serious as a pistol in ya b*tch @ss mouth!

shut but b@tch! , Jumpy will answer every got d@m body dumb enough to think that sh@t they just thiought up was actually funny cause it tickles the sh@t outta me all the way down to my got d@m toes when stiff stick in the muds try to lossen up and be funny...i just spark up blaze and trip balls!

and erase that superman shizzy off ya page...ya sound like a turd-ball trekkie eased out squeef!

A, this is a dumb argument we're having.

B, I said it existed, but that doesn't mean it's the norm.

C, I pointed out that there are age differences. I really think y'all should take that into consideration. There aren't just a whole lot of tough-talking, impolite, in your face middle-aged and older people anywhere.

(Which is probably why they got to be middle-aged and older.)

D. That bit about me being someone who takes advantage of another's kindness is just uncalled-for, plus you are wrong.

For the most part, in the U.S., there is not the sort of talk in the public venue that we get on these forums, or in a game. For one very good reason, if no other - a person isn't likely to accuse another of massive stupidity unless they want to get punched in the face, and I don't care where you are.

coco

P.S. In addition (upon reading Jumpy's "be a man" speech), some of us are female.

Again, pretty naive. I never thought St. Helens, OR was a "tough" town, but if what you're saying is true, they have gun racks in their trucks for completely different reasons than I thought!!



Of course I'm wrong. You'd never put your own interests in front of another's.



But if everyone was nice and kind then no one would worry about being punched in the face for calling someone stupid!

For real, though, I'm actually surprised at what you're trying to argue. I'd think you were raised Amish if it wasn't for the fact that you're on a computer most of your day!

Dearly Darlings,

I don't breed dogs or bitches with bad temperament. There is never an excuse for bad manners. Sooo...that tells you how I feel.

You all have a lovely evening!

Ever Yours,

Mrs. Showdog Tiger
