Vote To Ban The Word Sucks

[Pip the Troll]

After careful deliberation, and also some amount of boredom
i have decided to put forth the motion to henceforth start a vote to ban the word Sucks.
It should go the way of the pinaplle and other 4 letter wors with an S on them and be banned,
Yes folks i am saying that sucks is borken
i mean, look at its cost, it is a very short word, and as we;ve seen obviously easy to write and say
a word with that meaning and usage shouldnt be so short, so i say we vote to ban it,
also the people who use it, dont seem to respect the work of other's, and instead and doing somethin, would rather use the borken word to make fun of other's hard work.
also i just find it plain offensive, i mean who ever heard of those letter's bein in THAT order?
I mean honestly who throws a shoe....... ooops sidetracked, was all riled up,

so in closing due to his easyness to say (4letters, one syable) and its over usuage this is now a borken word and should hereby be banned,

Now who's with me? i'll give ye a cigar

:)
cheers

[rickisadork]

methinks we should ban the misspelling of the word "broken".

what is a BORKEN anyways?


-R:rolleyes:

where's my cigar?

[skeevo666]

Pip I'd be all for it 'cept that if you ban sucks, yer probably gonna want to ban swallow too (and that ain't happenin')




way to prove yr name right Rick :eek:

[Billy Jack]

Dude while I agree that they're are words and topics ppl shouldn't bring up on these ole boards here I can't bring it on myself to ban them. Am not a republican. ;) Have a happy, BJ.

[Unasoda]

Three-quarters of the 'Net community would be unable to express itself if you banned the word "suck." Even those with limited vocabularies should still be able to whine and complain in the only way they know how. ;)

I actually think we should replace all instances of broken with "borken." It would make things so much funnier.

[Random]

YEAH! Borken is deffinatley a great word

[Drashia]

um... no.

the should have a speel checker or sumthing. Why ban sucks? It's a fantastic word. The best line in the book Lord of the Flies "Sucks to your asmar Piggy"

[spiderboy]

Im with Unasoda! We SHOULD replace all instances of broken with "borken." Im voting for that! :D

[IronMan2732]

ban the word sucks, thats gotta be one of the dumbest ideas iv heard in a while. Borken

[Xanth]

Just to let you know, I'm moving this into Another Realm. General Discussion (and every other forum on the site) is to do with HeroClix items and non-HeroClix items go into AR. Keep up the discussion though.

[Pip the Troll]

Oh man, hes moving the thread you see that?

he's trying to stop the uprising, we have a right to be heard,
the institution is trying to cover it up.
Down with the institution, rise up, ban the word sucks.....

Me and the Multiple Man are gonna start a protest march, biggest 2 man march ever, we have to do it, "sucks" is a borken word
"sucks" = *****

then after we can all sit around the bonfire, justing singing and clapping.

cheers

[shin-goji]

I have to agree that if we banthe word "sucks" then 3/4 of the whining community would be unable to express itself. The forum would become an intelligent, reasonable playing field for debate and fun and I for one will allow that over my cold, dead, rotting corpse. The ignorant, hotheaded and quick to condemn have a right in this country to truly express their opinion, no matter how stupid it is.
[/sarcasm]

[LivingTribunal]

I hate censorship in anyway, shape, or form! I am an AMERICAN.
It is my free right to say and do as I please as long it is within my constitutional rights! But there are kids on this website and the 7 dirty words that u cant say on tv should not be allowed here. But to tell me I cant say Skys####per (High Rise Buildings) is ridiculous.
The word sucks and borken should stay.

Living Tribunal

[Nevest]

Good idea Pip, but then everyone would just start typing $uck$ instead of sucks .... heck all the whiny babies would probably just copy it and have it ready to paste at the end of each of their small sentences.

I agree that sucks is an undercosted and borken word. We should force them to use a longer, funnier word .... like pooptastic or something!

Tell it onna mountin brudda!
Everybody has a right to their no-brain, idiotic, imbecilic, moronic, carp-headed, stupid, fascist, bigoted, offensive and just plain dumb opinion, no matter how stupid it is, or how much better my opinion is than theirs.

I AM a republican and I wouldn't be in favor of any such ban! ;)

Maybe we should ban the use of broad generalities and steroetypes instead!

[Ramplate]

Right after we ban the word Rouge from these boards.

And internet speak such as u, peeps, prolly, r, ur, ppl, .... adnausium.

I hate to sound like an old fogey, but it would be my dream if internet speak got banned.
LOL.

[Nevest]

I think a more important question is "Why is Mr. Fantastic so very pooptastic" ... now that just doesn't make sense.

Talk amongst yourselves.

[Unasoda]

Shin-Goji and Gelf,

Perhaps the best argument for keeping the word "sucks" around is that it allows us to seperate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak - at the very least, it lets us know who we should pay attention to and who we shouldn't. ;)

I love being arrogant and snooty! Pass the cheese, gentlemen, and let's discuss the ineffable notion of the analytic of Dasein in Heidegger's Being and Time! :D

[PantherPriest]

If firelord is broken, then sucks is definitely borken

I can't believe we're taking this conversation seriously, this was set up as a joke on people complaining about clix right?


I hate internet speak, lol? what in gods name is lol, that isn't funny hahahaha is funny, when I laugh I don't go "lol, that was so funny, man, whooo, lol!"

However peeps is not internet speak, it is black folk speak, using it as internet speak is just silly.

[heroclixguru]

Hmmm, banning the word sucks will not work. People will complain for the sake of complaining regardless of the vocabulary they can use. I resent this idea because my country has freedom of speech which many countries don't, and wish to protect it.

What's next let's ban people who say Firelord is broken, or ebonics. Because I find those annoying? I would rather avoid reading post that have such nonsense. My 2 cents.

[shin-goji]

The mods could set it up so when someone includes "sucks" in their posts it gets rewritten like ####.

[gelf13]

I hate that. I tried to write the word "S####" the other day and got "S####" instead. And just try to write the name of the VP of the united states! (Not that I think he's not a #####, but come on!) I don't want to get off on a rant here, but don't you think they could have a little less automation, and a little more common sense? What are we teaching our more impressionable members? That it is OK to use swear words as long as you use punctuation in place of vowels? Never mind the internet speak, at least those are just corruptions of real words, and frequently used tongue in cheek. I see more #### in place of actual non-swear words than in place of "carp" etc.
Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
<Thank you Dennis Miller, we now return you to your regularly schedualled flaming.>

**edited for grammar and punctuation**

[Random]

hey, i am ALL for banning ebnonimics too! ( just kidding don't kill me, I am not a racist, I am just not much on slang) THAT bieng said, As far as banning this sucks, that sucks, you suck, whatever. Although I sure wish that the stuff from megacon hadn't been posted. Since that fatefull day all I have heard is complaints on this board.

[Gacy's Clown]

This thread sucks
:D

[batfink]

Perhaps Pip's point isn't so much about censership as the fact that there are people younger than you reading these posts. We all have bad habits. Do we really need to teach them to others? OTOH, the word is so overused, maybe Pip is just tired of reading it.

[Pip the Troll]

lol
hey this thread dont suck
k just to make it clear this wasnt really meant to be a serious thread, its to make fun of the idiots, who thinks everything sucks
i mean if the world didnt suck we'd all fall off:)


anyways, i just wanted to make a fun thread, where we would all come and make fun of people's poor taste, ect.....
and just to show that guy, that HCrealm is not a vacuum and is still fun and funny, oh and unasoda lol that was funny

now on a seious note
like i said me and Jaimie Madrox are hoding a protest march, and we need people to help paint signs and make up slogans

Sucks is borken
Say suck lose a buck
Roses are red
violets are blue
if you say suck
we'll ban you too.

just stuff lke that
anways everyone have fun and watch yer 5 letter words

cheers

[Sassmatic]

Or we could agree to just use the first name, like this:

man all those people who complain Pamela , i mean really they Pamela when it comes to posting, they need to Pamela it up and be men or women, all this Pamelaing is getting on my nerves...

What about that?

[Jervis_Tetch]

Unfortunately Pip, the only cigar yer gonna be able to give Pamela is about 2 inches long, and most chicks won't even bother smokin that :D

LOL.

Me too! That's what I was talking about:D

[Pip the Troll]

ohhhhhh lol
jervis
since im sure the only cigar's you seee and use are yer own, you are mistaken, not everyone like the short stubby cigars that you smoke
personally i use the big, fat, long ones,
but im sure u can still enjoy yer stubbie,

lol
cheers

[shin-goji]

I say that in place of the word "sucks" we ask the moderators to install a script that automatically changes the word to "does not live up to my own personal fanboy expectations". I seriously doubt it will effect words like the filter does for words like skys####er.

[KarateForever]

I say the word sucks is very appropriate in certain situations. Let me provide an example...

It is March 5 and this morning when I got up the temperature was -44 with the wind chill. That SUCKS, a lot. Give me spring already. Sorry to jump in off topic but this is really starting to piss me off, it is not supposed to be this cold anymore. :)

[gelf13]

Well, I mean, C'mon....
Moose Jaw, eh?? Thats Saskatchawan, BC, eh? Ain't it always cold dere, eh? Take off, eh?

[Pip the Troll]

lol gelf

least we dont have no sounthern drawl
and talk like a hick....

and cold... it builds charecter

lol
cheers

[Jervis_Tetch]

lol, like usual Pip your grammar and word usage is sub-par, in reality we all know that you personally TAKE the big, fat, long ones....take being the operative word that you mistakenly neglected to use. Sorry bout that Pip, ouch :D

[Jervis_Tetch]

LOL, one other thing Pip, I should hope that the only cigar that I see and use is my own. Unlike you, i dont go around playin with other people's cigars....but hey, im not judging you, whatever floats yer boat i guess :D
BURN!

[Pip the Troll]

ahhhh
2 things

1. yer the one who has a pet monkey instead of a woman.......
so whatever floats yer boat, it sure dont float mine

2. my cigar is great, its also clean...... and i sure do take it and use it much to th pleasure fo the opposite sex :)

cheers

[Hellboy]

this thread sucks.

[Pip the Troll]

hellboy we've already heard that, if you wanna post think up original comments and jokes
its a requirment
if you cant think up anything original go post on the hwiny threadz, as they are all the same things over and over
ud fit right in

cheers

[Jervis_Tetch]

lol, yeah I have a monkey; and a big strong monkey at that.....he's been a little sick lately though, so i havent been able to use him at all. We did go and get him a trim though, so now he's nice and clean and ALL better. Trust me, from some of the experiences I've had, I'd rather play with my monkey any day :D
I am crying right now though, someone doesn't like this thread,,,,, actually, apparently it "SUCKS". It pains my heart to no end.....guess I'll just have to pack up my things and head out :D

lol, and just for the record my monkey was very useful to me in the past during various outings so I always kept him looking his best.....and ya still didnt explain why apparently you see and make use of many many cigars ....

Hat's off Pip, we may have to end this one, so until next time....
