It's a novel argument, at least. This evangelist has a weird justification for the priority of Christianity: because we say "Jesus Christ!" when we wack our thumb with a hammer, instead of "Buddha!", he must be the one true god.
Alas for that line of reasoning, I've noticed that more people are more likely to shout out a certain four-letter word when surprised or hurt or angry, which must mean that sex is god.

Reminds me of the Bill Cosby routine (apologies for the paraphrase, don't remember exactly how it goes):
"For years, I thought my brother was Damnit and I was 'Jesus Christ.' Dad would say, 'Jesus Christ, will you stop all that noise?!?' One time, he yelled, 'Get over here, damn it!' 'But, Dad, I'm Jesus Christ!"

We use "Jesus Christ!" and "Oh my God!" as exclamations because Christianity is so pervasive in Western cultures. Even atheists use "Oh my God" and "for God's sake" and other theistically themed verbal tics. It's drilled into us from birth along with the rest of America. Circular "reasoning" at its most obvious.

No, the fact is that Mary gave birth to Jesus, and Joseph never having seen a newborn that hadn't been cleaned swore "Jesus Christ, that's a damn ugly thing."
Mary was just about passed out then, but came to and told everybody that Joseph had named the baby Jesus Christ, and he'd better talk nicer about the baby if he wants to get back into the place from whence Jesus came.
You can't prove me wrong, so it's you have to face the fact that the swear word may have come first, whatever the preacher man said.

Back when I was a young, wannabe edgy/rebel fundamentalist I used to take the names of terrible Christian pop singers in vain. My favorites were Al Denson and Carman. I wonder what our preacher friend would say about that?
Even now I don't use much in the way of the names of deities to admit disgust. But lately I've been saying "gorram" a lot. I'm not sure if that means anything, though.
Posted by: Hank Fox | June 24, 2009 12:41 PM
My own theory is that exclamatories and expletives amount to wordless barks. I think I remember reading that they're even stored in a place in the brain, slightly separate from and probably older than, the part that normally handles language.
Early on, we store SOMETHING in there, based on cultural norms, and whenever we hit our thumb with a hammer, or stumble over a tricycle in the dark, or get a sudden surprise, whatever's stored there is what gets barked. It could be Jesus Christ, shit, goddamit, fuck, AH!, or even Great Caesar's Ghost!

Jesus Christ! I was thinking about this topic just yesterday! Really!

Holy Christ, what a coincidence!

It's an obvious sanitization of "goddamn" so they could use it on TV, same as BSG used "frack" (and in the long tradition of other sanitizations like "darn", "heck", "shoot", "gosh", "gee-whiz",....).
I do wonder whether other cultures cuss in the name of their traditional diety -- do Hindus invoke Vishnu or Krshna in moments of stress?

Heh, "Tarot cards", rhymes with "carrot". Nice.
In seriousness, I do sometimes think about trying to purge the pseudo-religious expressions I use from my vocabulary. Saying "Jesus H. Fucking Christ on crutches!" when I experience sudden pain isn't too bad, but I do say "thank god" more often than I intend to. I figure as long as it's assumed to be a lower-case G, the intention is clear, but I wouldn't want to give anybody the wrong impression...

Rev. BDC
First off, I was in junior high at the time I came up with my brilliant plan...
In my church you weren't allowed to swear and obviously not allowed to blaspheme. I even knew people who went so far as to admonish me if I said "darn," because that word was a substitution for a much worse word. And, um, as I recall, "damn" was bad because it either mocked god's privilege as the one who damns or put the user of the word on the same playing field as god, as in, "I call damnation on that, just as god would, bwah ha ha!"
I'd managed to figure out that Christian pop culture was mostly stupid and bereft of value. So I decided that instead of swearing I'd turn idiot Christian artists in to swears. This was, oddly enough, a bit of a rebellion. So if I got mad at something and said, "Oooh, Al Denson," people who were in on it/stuck around long enough for the explanation would have a good laugh and agree that Al Denson sucked and nobody actually stopped to think that I'd substituted "Al Denson" for "shit" or "fuck" and got mad at me for thinking about such horrid words.
Convoluted? Yes. Amusing? A little. Rebellious? Yes, but only in that narrow context.
Meanwhile, the fact that I was able to think about such things on that (relatively) complex level when I was 13 and pretty much did it with the intention of faking out the enforcers of orthodoxy is a pretty good indication that I'd eventually be engaging in complex reasoning to get myself out of church entirely. But that's a story for another day...
(Also, I've gotten the submission timeout and refreshed several times in another window. So if this appears as a double post, I've done my due diligence.)

Not completely novel. I once heard a pastor tell the story of two planes running into each other on the ground. Apparently one of the pilots looked up just in time to see the other plane headed his way and his last words were "Well, I'll be damned!"
The pastor thought this was evidence that at the moment of our dying we are all aware of god and where we'll be going.
There's a lot of serious crazy out there.

I can't help but think of this quote from Terry Pratchett's novel Men at Arms:

Posted by: Eamon Knight | June 24, 2009 1:01 PM
Hank Fox @#13:My own theory is that exclamatories and expletives amount to wordless barks....
FWIW, I think you're exactly right. Cuss-words (whether blasphemy, sexual, or excretory) have little more sematic content than wordless exclamations like "ouch!" (OK, that's not entirely true: calling something "shit" invokes the idea of disgust with the object).
What they do possess in addition to those, however, is the extra punch of breaking a cultural taboo, thereby releasing a little more of the emotional tension. This is one reason for limiting one's casual use of expletives, as it weakens that taboo, thereby vitiating the impact of breaking it. As Flanders and Swan said: if four-letter words become commonplace, then we'll have nothing left for special occasions!

I've always been an atheist, but I use intesifiers like "god" and "jesus" routinely. Since I don't use them in a religious context, they're meaningless. It's just part of the American culture.
But if the true deity is whatever I reflexively yell after hitting my thumb with a hammer, then my god clearly is named "fuck."

Heh. I've watched two preachers in the past week. This guy and some fellow on tv named Mike Murdoch. I had just come into some unexpected money (about 5 grand) and realized that for once in my (admittedly short) life I had more money than I needed. Mike comes on TV telling me how important it is to give to others, about how charity is an important Christian value. He even quoted Leviticus 19:9-10:
"And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God."
Which is a pretty good (if scripture based) argument for socialized medicine, but I digress. Anyway, much to my chagrin, I was really getting into his sermon, thinking about giving a grand to charity or something, when he finally gets to his point "...and the best place to sow your $1000 seed is in my ministry. Here's our number, we take all major credit cards." I don't know what he said after that, but I tuned in half an hour later and he was still pleading for cash in his expensive suit and big gold rings.

I'm pretty sure that I did receieve the submission error after a longer period than usual, but I've already forgotten.
I did, however, have a paypal login issue within what I thought was a different tab. The only thing I can think of is that, in IE, resubmitting secure data within the same window and different tab may resend for all, crazy as that may sound (I'm not a web developer).
It may be more likely that I had reused the submission tab for something else.
Either way, 'tis a learnin' experience: don't frak with scienceblogs.

In his introduction to his novel Myron, Gore Vidal mentions the Supreme Court decision Miller v. California, which in his words "leaves to each community the right to decide what is pornography." Saying that the decision has "alarmed and confused peddlers of smut" by eliminating guidelines, Vidal says he has decided to substitute the names of the five Justices who voted for the decision, plus the names of anti-pornography crusaders Charles Keating of Citizens for Decent Literature and Father Morton A. Hill, S.J. of Morality in Media (whom Vidal had debated on The David Susskind Show in 1968), for the "dirty words." He has done this to conform to the Supreme Court's imposition of the "community standards" test, as he wants "to conform with the letter and spirit of the Court's decision."
These are the words and their substitutions:
* blackmun: ass
* burger: fuck
* father hills: tits
* keating: shit
* powells: balls
* rehnquist: cock
* whizzer white: cunt

I love how he can't pronounce tarot correctly. As Bill Hicks once said, in order to be against something I think you have to be able to pronounce it correctly first.
And for the 1,000,002 time, don't these people who believe in Satan's direct influence on this planet, thick The Prince of Evil could do a bit better than allegedly influence a few records?

Ahh. I was picturing something else. Kind of like what Stephen Baldwin pictures himself as these days.
Yeah. I had a brief attempt to view myself as some sort of cultural subversive. But I think I could never even get the idea in to my head without laughing. There's nothing rebellious about Christianity, no matter how hard they try to convince themselves otherwise.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks to me like #49 is a duplicate of #39 -- except #49 was the one posted first, because #39 has the added-on bit about refreshing....
It is. There were 37 comments when I tried posting the original comment. My original window sat there working, exactly as it always does and I opened a new window so I could check. Generally when I do that my comment has already appeared even if the submission time-out warning is several minutes away.
Nothing happened. So after the warning popped up and there was still nothing I assumed I actually had to re-post. I went back, added my disclaimer, and posted again, then sighed with relief when I saw the modified post pop up at #39. Then I scrolled down and saw my original at #49.
Ahhh, Scienceblogs...

Well there's also this infrastructure that allows people to have, hold and express views no matter how fucking stupid they are. I'm going to assume you have no clue about how many small ass TV channels there are that are available across the country. So your ignorance might be excused if you weren't such a jack ass.
The fact you're using the word "retarded" gives me hint that this little temper tantrum of yours isn't going to end with something containing an intellectually strong point.
Yes I agree that electing GWB was stupid and many of the people that voted for him did so for what I consider stupid fucking reasons. But you being the myopic twit that you appear to be can easily ignore all the multitude of other factors involved and just make big-boy playground proclamations that all of the country is "retarded".
I'm curious where you are from Troy?
Posted by: St. Tabby Lavalamp | June 24, 2009 2:16 PM
The best expletives have hard consonants in them, and even some normally soft consonants can be given an edge if emphasized right.
"Damn" by itself just doesn't have the right kick. "God damn" - with the extra hard consonants - works much better.
"Jesus" by itself is a little soft but you can really put some more effort into that J and those S's. But add "Christ!" afterward and the "Jesus" brings you nicely into that hard consonant punch. Said right, it's more like "Jezuz CHRIST!"
My favourite tends to be that treasure trove of consonants and I do use it quite frequently when I'm pissed off. "Jezuz FUCKin' CHRIST!!!"
The words themselves mean very little. I'm sure if I could get used to shouting "Jaezoz FAKKin' KROST!!!" it would work just as well.

#13: You might be interested to read the "cussing" chapter of Steven Pinker's "The Stuff of Thought." Definitely shifted my thinking on the subject. According to Pinker, cussing does occupy an unusual space in language (for instance, some people with brain damage who lose their language ability can still cuss). But it's not content-free. In pretty much every language, expletives fall into three categories: religion, sex, or bodily excretion. (If memory serves. I can't look it up at the moment, since I can't find my copy of the book. We really need a new bookshelf...) And Pinker has a whole analysis as to why these topics are the ones that inspire cussing.

Long story short, I haven't talked to said girl for over a year. About two months ago I think I read something that referred to Firefly and probably contained the word "gorram." About two days later I spontaneously started saying it. I haven't stopped.

Along a similar line of reasoning, somewhere in the book The Road Less Traveled psychiatrist Scott Peck relates the fact that people call out "Oh God" during sex to a human need for intimacy with God. This makes me wonder what some of you use as a substitute.

A little Google goes a long way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrebleu "The phrase originated from the swear words "sacré bleu", a Marian oath, referring to the color (i.e., "sacred blue") associated with Mary, mother of Jesus.[1]. Support for this view comes from the fact that the ancient Yezidi religion in Northern Iraq (a spin off from the main Islamic religion which recognises the Virgin Mary)[2] rules that blue clothing may not be worn by its adherents - presumably because it is sacred."Of course, French people don't go around shouting 'Sacre Bleu' any more than Irish folks say "Aye faith 'n begorrah!" or English say 'Blimey!' or Cockneys spout 'strewth'. Those are all stage exclamations, not street ejaculations (yeah, yeah, we're talking verbal, not fluid).

In the French part of Canada, Quebecois swearing centers on religious terms since the Catholic church was so central to the society - blasphemy made for much more effective cuss-words.
Plus, it's hard to beat the cadence and hard consonants of a properly voiced "maudit," "chalice," or "tabarnac."

Well, just as a Buddhist never dreams about the Virgin Mary, cuss words are specific to culture, and generally intended to be as offensive as possible. In Quebec, here in Canada, the most common cuss word is not fuck but "tabernacle" (pron. ta ber nak'). Quebec is largely (non-practising) Roman Catholic, but the epithet has a long vintage. In the culture, the tabernacle is not just a church building, nor even the church with congregants and presiding priest inside, nor even the compartments holding the vestments and instruments of service, but the consecrated Host of the living Christ, and Him crucified (!) As such, this cuss word in this culture is an expression of contempt for and rejection of one of its very foundations, and its use a threat to social cohesion, leaving its user liable to social sanction if not ostracism. Yet it is used. There is a folk saying in the Caribbean, Barbados I belive, that counsels it is bad luck to pick a penny from the street (for that would be to profit from another's misfortune). Well, obviously this is honoured more in its breach than observance, or else by now the streets would be paved with copper. Yet I learned it from a Barbadian woman here in Canada, who chastized a mutual friend when she bent to get one. Same with "tabernacle": it is a very serious obscenity, even though used. Indeed, the young Quebecoise who graciously relieved me of my puzzlement was very uncomfortable even discussing why it is so offensive, and could barely bring herself to even mention the word, even though she was obviously aware of its use.

OK, then how do you classify Sacre Bleu? Profanity in French is very disappointing.
I grew up in Anglo Toronto, but moved to bilingual Ottawa as an adult, and acquired a little vocabulary not taught in public school French classes. For some years I was using "tabernac" (a Quebec Catholic swear-word) as my workshop cuss-of-frustration. For some reason, I seem to have since replaced it with "bugger". No concious decision; I think it may have been from reading Pratchett.

HI Everyone. I've been here for a while and really enjoy the blog. Thanks PZ. I was reading the thread about expletives. Had a few odd thoughts. My own favorites expression is “Holy Shit!”. Not that I’ve ever considered shit to be holy. Well my mind went wandering off in some weird directions as it often does. I do a compost heap. I put all the corn husks, cobs, potato peels, grapefruit rinds, etc into it. I also, when I can find it, toss some cow, horse or chicken shit into the mix. You turn it over for a few months and you have soil. It’s magical. Well this spring my wife told me she needed some soil to do some planting. Reluctantly, I dragged my shit hole down back, got out the sieve and started shaking out the compost. Got a really good harvest. A fifty gallon drum and an industrial wheel barrow full. Nice looking shit too. So while I was sifting some of this shit though my hand and thinking how good it looked, it occurred to me that all of this was recycled shit. In fact all of it had been recycled many times. Back to the time of dinosaur shit and even earlier maybe. I had a moment of epiphany. I am shit, I was born in shit, have been in shit all my life and will die in shit. If god gives us life, then shit is god.....or god is shit....or... well, as George Carlin said, “You’ll smoke a turd in purgatory for this one, me boy.”

Cute story time:
Years ago I was driving along with Younger Daughter in the child seat in back, when a (then maybe) three-year-old voice clearly called out "JESUS CHRIST!"
Huh?
She was pointing out the window at a building, saying "that says "Church of JESUS CHRIST!" (Apparently wife had taught her the meaning of the words on that mysterious building down the street from us.)
Shook me up, though...

I'm sure the millions of parents of "retarded" children appreciate how difficult it is for someone of your limited intellect to remove a single word from your vocabulary. Even though doing so could avoid unnecessarily offending them or their children or accidentally diminishing the struggles they have to deal with daily just living life. I mean you probably are right, being sympathetic to a request to remove one word from your normal vocabulary probably is a tough task considering there really aren't any synonyms for the meaning you are trying to convey.
There's that sympathy I was looking for.
You're a good man and after all, brains aren't everything.

"Along a similar line of reasoning, somewhere in the book The Road Less Traveled psychiatrist Scott Peck relates the fact that people call out "Oh God" during sex to a human need for intimacy with God."
Ugh, M. Scott Peck...the guy died in 2005, and I'm sorry, but good riddance. He started as an okay pop psychology self-help author and then went Christian and eventually in 2005 published a book on exorcism and demons...truly off the fracking deep end...! I don't remember that particular passage from _The Road Less Traveled_ (which in the main I remember I kind of liked), but if so, what a crock; it foreshadows his impending mental degradation...He started to go downhill with _People of the Lie_, when he started seeing "evil" everywhere; he raised a few interesting points but such unnecessary hyperbole! He then went and ironically embraced the biggest lie/fraud of all, i.e. the Christian religion...with predictable results on his psyche and critical faculties.
It's gratifying to read all the one star reviews on Amazon of his last few truly awful books.
"This makes me wonder what some of you use as a substitute."
Either my partner's name or just a lot of incoherent moans...usually the later; sometimes a breathless "I love you", but even with a steady, monogamous partner that's a little embarrassing to let slip out.
In other contexts, I do still say 'Goddamn', though I do sometimes say "For Fuck's Sake" in place of "For God's Sake". Still sometimes known to say 'Jesus!' or "Jesus H. Fucking Christ" on rare occasions. It's an artifact/anachronism of been seeped in a dominantly Xtian culture.
A Xtian friend of mine used to (probably still does) exclaim "GOD bless America..."; to which I used to say "oh yeah, you're really foolin' him there..."

Swear words are all about the emotional content behind them.
Back when I was a rookie cop, only out of the academy a few days, one of the senior officers got a talking to by the sergeant. It seems he had called a citizen an asshole. The sergeant said: (this should be read if Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh is saying it) You shouldn’t call citizens assholes. It just causes me to do paper work. Yes, some of them are assholes. But don’t say that to them. I don’t like doing paperwork.”
Not wanting to get into trouble, I decided that I would call assholes something totally harmless, it would just mean asshole to me. So when people stated pissing me off, I would call them Burt. As in “listen Burt, let me tell you how things are going to go.” This had 2 advantages. One, it really confused the person I was talking to. Two, after a while my co-workers picked up on the fact that when I called someone Burt, I was getting ready to arrest them and they should get ready in case we ended up having to fight them.
So I got to call people asshole all the time, it was just that they never knew it and never had any reason to complain about it.

Being from a country where religion is actually taught in school, I suffered through quite some amount of this kind of 'logic'. However, most of these religion teachers were convinced that 'everybody has to believe in something' and that there were no true atheists anyhow, so this made any sophisticated hammer-on-finger arguments obsolete from the start. Oh, btw, my first post, hello everyone.

Years ago, when he worked in a tuxedo shop, my brother encountered someone who must have been one of this guy's acolytes. The individual immediately tried to engage my brother in a theological Q&A which my little brother deflected as politely as he could (normally he is much more brusque but he has to be polite in his salesman role). This person kept going for some time and then produced his coup de grace:
Say you drive your car into one of them canals around here. What would you say? Would you call out 'Oh Buddha', or would you say 'Jesus Christ'? Wouldn't you have to say, 'Help me, Jesus?'. At this point he felt that he could safely tell the guy to get lost without crossing the line for a retail-job slave.

All these anecdotes about using substitution codes for curse words really illustrate the odd fact that some pious people actually attach (frivolous/evil/vulgar/blasphemous) meaning to words themselves as if there were any reality to them beyond the consensus about what they mean.

Alighting first from a school bus to monitor the offloading 8th graders after a field trip, I caught my heel on the bottom step.
I flew horizontally out of the door, landing prone on the sidewalk. My mind worked fast enough to clamp down on the expletives springing to mind, but I had to say something, you know what I mean?
So I said "Holy. Mary. Mother. of. God."
The kid standing on the bottom bus step right behind me yelled out, "She's dying! She's dying! I heard her praying!"
I think I might have been better off with the expletives.

There was an old series on Casanova on PBS a while back, and one of the things that stuck with me was a segment where he was on trial, where one of the charges was atheism (and/or Satanism; I forget details) -- because when he had bad luck at gambling, rather than cursing God like all the other losers, he would curse the Devil.

These people keep saying 'Buddha is not god!', as if people think he is. Buddhists do NOT think Buddha was a god!
Not that there aren't gods in the Buddhist 'pantheon' (depending on which brand of Buddhism you prefer), but the term 'buddha' refers to a person who has achieved enlightenment-- which is why there's THE Buddha and many, many, many lesser buddhas (buddha? Buddai?). And since a dirty, filty, baby-eating, cussing atheist knows this, one would assume that someone with some religious training would, too.

He accepts the fact he's fumble fingered and a tad absent minded, so that avenue of insult is not available to you. Being a grownup eliminates other paths of invective where he's concerned.
Cut your losses and return to the weak and heatless verbal animosity of alt.flame on Usenet. Maybe your decisive and derisive brand of insult can help that small talent crew ignite that pilot light and keep it lit for once.
Posted by: Smoggy Batzrubble | June 24, 2009 7:50 PM
Dear Brother Troy,
Thank you for your innovative solution to the problem of the world's burgeoning population. I was talking to God about your idea in my daily devotions, and the Big Guy said he was mightily impressed by it. His exact words were: "Man, that Troy's got some stones to suggest "aborting retards" when it would put paid to pretty well his whole extended family. I like that sort of chutzpah in someone begging for a smite."
I pointed out to the Immortal One that the world was getting pretty crowded, and God said that a better plan than "aborting the retards" would be to waste all the people who "cringe when they see 'people' like that". "Just think!" said God, "what an underpopulated, unpolluted and peaceful place the world would be if I just wiped out everyone who hated someone else simply because they were born and raised different. I could put paid to homophobes, religious fundamentalists and racists in one fell swoop." So there you have it Troy, whichever way you swing, as a probable "retard" or as a self-proclaimed "retard" hater, God's got your number.
In my daily devotions, I also prayed to Jesus on the matter of our brave preacher whose razorlogic sliced to the heart of our penchant for using the name of "Jesus" as a curse word.
"Jesus," I said, "Does it bother you when a man who catches his penis in his zipper shrieks: "Jesus-fucking-cunt-sucking-Christ-in-a-puddle-of-shit that hurt"?
Jesus said he wasn't particularly bothered, because he secretly enjoyed using curse words himself. I was amazed.
"How do you curse if you can't say 'Jesus Christ!'", I asked my Savior.
"You have to be creative, Smoggy," he told me. "I could say things like 'Awww piss off you fucking-cocksucking-Dawkinshit' or "Go molest a gopher you Hitchen-sucking-Harrisanus", but that would be crass." I prefer more creative combinations, usually involving my mother, who is a rather dominating women and profoundly irritating.'
"Dare I ask, Lord, for an example?" I prayed humbly.
"Bless, you Smoggy, you silly boy. You know that if you ask you will receive," replied Jesus. "At the moment when I'm really pissed at how stupid my followers are making me look on Pharyngula, I like say: "Oh go tongue my Holy Mother's holes you pathetic little knobmasher. Your nauseating prayers are jammed so far up my pooper they're puncturing my brain. I'd rather spend another week on the cross with a spear where the sun don't shine than have to witness gristle grippers like you manipulating their meatsticks in public."
"Amen,' Lord, I said humbly, impressed by a savior whose invective outdid mine by a number of orders of magnitude.

That USA does not have a critical mass of population that makes the USA retarded in all societal issues and rankings that measure a society?(I didn't even mention the fact that USA is now leading in teen pregnancy of all industrilized nations)
You clearly failed at both, so I was wondering why exactly are you calling me stupid?

@Troy: It's not the use of the word "retarded" that is offensive - it's the misuse of the word and your subsequent attempt to redefine it that is. The fact that you don't understand this fact puts you under your own definition.
Oh, and I don't appreciate being lumped in with the ninnies who get their own TV shows to spout idiocy. I only voted for Bush once, and I only missed doing so again by being too lazy to do so. Back then, I was a Bible-beating Republican. I have since become a non-Republican and atheist as well. You clearly do not get the fact that you have impugned the character of people you do not know, and you refuse to recognize that fact when clearly shown that you have done so. Again, you fall under your own definition.
Get a life and go away already.

That is not the point! THAT IS NOT THE POINT! No feminist sat down one day and said, 'That's it! Abortion! That's how we can get rid of all of those retards clogging up our society!' Roe v. Wade boiled down to a woman's right to (medical) privacy, thus granting her the right to choose. She can CHOOSE to keep or abort a fetus (w/in the first trimester) no matter what's going on with the fetus. You sir are advocating (a more fucked-up version of) eugenics, which went out of style quite a while ago.

Unbelievable how dumb you are:
1.Retards are damaged, unproductive units of society.
2.For decades basic checkups can determine if a woman will give birth to a retard, and with almost no risk to herself she can abort such defective redundant creature.
3.The only reason why she wouldn't do so is because of irrational culture of enabling, it is premade by previously existing retards.
4.Previously existing retards(their enforced value) generate cognitive dissonance that makes irrational claims of putting basic conclusion(beneficial to everyone) into nonsensical eugenics context and labeling.
And why the fuck are you mentioning abortion rights in this context is beyond me...

Assuming you get to make that choice for everyone. Perhaps China is your role model on such things? So, no I didn't show that. Abortion is a choice not a requirement.
Well I haven't shown it per se, but I've refuted your assertion that it is fact. Fuckhead. Mainly because your statement is meaningless. You first need to define what "makes the USA retarded in all societal issues" means.
The one statistic of teenage pregnancies is an issue. I don't deny that. But that's one statistic.
Again I ask, where are you from?
I've failed at nothing here beyond not feeding the idiotic troll. And I call you stupid because you have demonstrated your stupidity in this thread and nearly every other one you've made an appearance. Dumb ass.
Word salads? Did you grab that little ditty somewhere? Show me a word salad that I've served up here? Were there croutons? And I'm not sure anyone thinks I'm funny here, nor do I care.
This place is far from insulated. Dumb fucks like you are let in to freely shit all over the place as you've clearly demonstrated.
Oh I have substance. I've wiped the floor with you this whole thread without having to expend even a small amount of substance. It doesn't take much to expose you for the raving moron you are.

Um humm. Anyone want to take a vote?
By that logic should we kill the "retards"? What about people who get injured? Quadriplegics? Brain Damage? Amputees?
Again, who is the dumb ass?
So do you get to determine which babies a family gets to choose to keep? What level of developmental issues is the cut off?
So you now can read the minds of everyone.
Pre-made by previously existing "retards"? What the fuck does that even mean. Idiot.
You know that word salad you were looking for, well there it is. Idiot. Quit while you are ahead.
Because you are making a point of it by claiming people should have to abort children if they are shown to have developmental issues.
You really are a dolt.
Where are you from again?

Troy, you are exposed. You are a raging imbecile.
With arguments like "a retard is a retard" you need to pack it in.
In post #164 I showed you to not only be an idiot but a liar. I then followed it up with other posts exposing you for similar dimwitted proclamations and other gaffes.
You're an idiot. Accept it and hopefully you'll be at peace.
Please, do yourself a favor and fuck right off.

Another thought, Troy. Not only are you arguing in favor of aborting 'undesirable' fetuses, but you are also advocating forcing a woman endure an unnecessary medical procedure against her will.
So, you're a complete fucking misogynist, too. Way to get the hat-trick.

Dear Brother OtherTroy,
Good on you for taking over from the really stupid Troy that used to post here. You have upped the ante, my friend, and can deservedly wear your "Really Really Stupid Troy" badge with pride. When Mama and Papa Shitforbrains named you after that famous mythological city, they certainly knew what they were about. You couldn't recognise a wooden horse full of good advice if it was shoved up your over-sized butt hole. You certainly seem like something that has been sacked, pillaged and buried for centuries, only to emerge in the present with a head full of bronze age shit.
God says not to worry. He's got a plan for your life. This may or may not be a good thing, as he said it in the same tone of voice he uses when he's about to fuck up poor countries.
Yours in hope of appropriate judgment

I clearly haven't made any such statements and you can see how blatantly dishonest Rev. BigDumbChimp is when responding to my 4. point.
Also he keeps making logical fallacies, his response to my 1. and 2. points were especially dumb slope-sliding fallacies.
He just keeps making these claims of superiority yet he continually fails...I guess he thinks repetition will make some sort of impact.

2.faggy feminine gays, trans-whatever freaks and so on
Posted by: Smoggy Batzrubble | June 24, 2009 10:22 PM
Dear Troy,
Thank you for your statement: "I see now why you make imaginary ownages of me. You mistook me with a previous Troy which, I guess, made some dumb statements."
While I don't have a clue what you actually said, it sounded sincere. What are "ownages"? Are they animal, mineral or vegetable? Would you be happier if we made 'real' ownages of you? Or how about if we just made one 'ownage'--is it the plural that bothers you.
And this thing about mistaking you "with a previous Troy"? Was it what you were doing with said "previous Troy" that we "mistook"? You weren't doing naughty things to each other were you? I'm not sure that the pairing of a pair of Troys is something God approves of.
Thank you for attempting to help to clear this up. While I still have no idea what you said, you have made it clear that, in the terms of your earlier argument, you are quite certainly a "retard". Do you have anger issues with your mother because she didn't give you the abortion you felt you deserved? May I encourage you to throw off your self-loathing and accept your limitations, Troy. God will still love you despite your deficiencies...sort of.
Yours in hope for your eternal life and present vegetation
Smoggy

One more and I promise I'm done:
4.Previously existing retards(their enforced value) generate cognitive dissonance that makes irrational claims of putting basic conclusion(beneficial to everyone) into nonsensical eugenics context and labeling.
Your point would make perfect sense except that your #4 point IS THE ARGUMENT FOR EUGENICS. Seriously, dude, I'll give you a linky to a definition if you can't find one on your own.

Troy you incredible dumb ass. I know you were the one being a bigoted fuckhead about transsexuals. So no, it was you making the dumb statements I was referring to.
no, you were making the statements I was thinking of. Fuckhead.
Nope those were not slippery slope fallacies. For #1, you claiming "retards" are unproductive is easily transferable to the other people I mentioned. If it was a slippery slope argument I would have said that lazy people, and fat people and old people and people who don't work as hard as other people etc.. should then be killed.
For #2 you are suggesting that people who know they might be having a developmentally challenged baby should be required to abort them or face penalties because of the possible strain that will put on society. Welcome to eugenics 101 asshole. I then asked at what level or severity of developmental issues should the cut off be. Again, not slippery slope in any way whatsoever. Moron.
Repetition is necessary to drill it through your thick fucking skull. Ignoramus.
No you're not a normal gay. You're a disgrace to gays, humans and members of the Chordata phylum.
Posted by: Kemist | June 24, 2009 10:47 PM
In my place, "My god" or "jesus" aren't even proper swearwords.
We instead use the names (somewhat deformed) of the various Mass accessories, such as, for example, the tabernacle ( pronounced "tabarnak"). And we... conjugate and combine them to great effect.
One of my great-uncles, after a stroke, could only speak whole sentences using these.

So, can you explain your definition of "retard," such as your use of "retarded" to describe a large percentage of the US population, as well as your insistence that women should be happy to detect potentially retarded babies, then have them aborted?One would get the impression that you want to see a large portion of the US population euthanized or otherwise murdered simply because you consider them to be inferior in some (as of yet unexplained) manner.

Do people really take Pinker seriously on language issues?
(By the way, for #13, the use of -fucking- in Jesus fucking Christ is likely an infix, where the infix -fucking- is an emphatic. In English -fucking- can be infixed as an emphatic in any number of words or idioms (here I would treat Jesus Christ as a single intonation unit); un-fucking-real, Califuckingfornia, etc.).

Hmm... I'm reminded of Arthur C. Clarke's novel The Songs of Distant Earth where the planet Thalassa - colonized by a "seeder probe" and the culture of which had absolutely no concept of religion - was visited by a ship that had actually traveled from Earth. Seems the only real shortfall in Lassan culture from having no religion was ... a distinct lack of invective. The only term in common use was the name of a local, occasionally annoying volcano, and that was rather over-used.
And while I'm in this groove - there are S. P. Somtow's Mallworld stories, where the existence of a female Pope is presented - thus giving rise to the invective phrase, "Pope's TITS!"
For myself - while it may be a bit "woo-ish" for some here, I strive to replace references to "God" with "Gaia." No, I don't believe our ecosphere is actually conscious - I'm just referring to something bigger and more important than myself. It's not a perfect solution, admittedly, but I'm more comfortable with it than hearing the word "God" come out of my mouth.

Back when the li'l Tadpolles tended to snatch up with great glee any rude or undesirable word, even (or especially) those surrounded by otherwise mostly harmless verbiage, I found Mork's Shazbot! a most useful expletive. It's got the sh beginning, a nice plosive b in the middle, and that satisfying t ending: overall, a good mouth feel. I also became fairly good at stringing together nonsense syllables in a somewhat Mad Magazine veeblefetzerish vein.
Generally, though, the usual deities and that versatile Anglo-Saxon word trip readily from my tongue, owing to their ubiquity in current culture, and I hate it, not least because they are unimaginative and leave us nowhere to go when really outraged; but somehow "You fornicating anal orifice!" just doesn't do the job. I'll admit to an amused fondness for a phrase I came across somewhere (in that notorious Pharyngula thread, perhaps?), which employs two of the trinity: "Christ crapping on a cracker!"
Posted by: Ole Tjugen | June 25, 2009 1:44 PM
In many ways English is a poor language, especially when it comes to expletives.
Norwegians tend to call on the devil in the same situations, under a number of different names, often combined into very long strings. The devil - or a 16th-century taxman better known as an astronomer: "Han Tykje" refers to Tycho Brahe...
