"Rude" is the wrong word

But it is not polite to say "what" instead of "excuse me"

Every country is different

And I try not to use words that are too vague. Unless that's the most precise word.

Words like "respect", and "rude" mean little, because inarticulate precious lil "people" treat the words like they are magical and special

Same with profanity. It is not any more unique than any other word. So it should not be tabboo or overused.

:mrgreen: Precision of language :twisted:

But whatever

But it is not about grammar, semantics and pragmatics

:roll:


When someone says something is "rude", they are reserving the moral right to veto anything they don't like because it is "rude"

Different people find different things "rude"


Some of the things I find "rude", "most people" do not find rude


Off leash dogs


Whatever



Yesterday's precious lil "friend", explicitly asked me over and over what "people" do that I don't like.

She told me that she did not want to do anything I don't like


And I answered.


But monopolistic competition


She has a lot of friends

And I have just her, one. Offline , significant


"Beggars can't be choosers"



Part of it is that, precious lil "people". Including yesterday's precious lil "friend", , :cry: :roll: :skull: , talk too much and too loudly and there are too many of them.


:mrgreen:


So when I say something, it seems reasonable, to me, to expect her to pay attention


:mrgreen:


Some precious lil "people" keep asking "why" about anything you do, that they don't like



How about "why are you alive?"


You can't prove the answer to that question

The question does not have to have an answer


That doesn't justify that they go out of their own way to exterminate me



f**k mister redelings



When idiots have the nerve to ask me "why", they, act like there is a correct answer but your answer is not correct. But, according to them, there is no correct answer


So how about , "why do you say 'what' instead of 'excuse me' "?




:mrgreen:




Judgmental manipulative ass holes


If they like something they say "cool"


If the don't like it they say "sucks"

If they don't hear they say "what?"


"Can you" as if, if you "can", you have to




Entitled lil dipshits have arrogant manipulative attitudes


Just because they outnumber you does, not mean they overpowered you (or should overpower you)







:mrgreen:

"Excuse me," or "Pardon me" is used for bumping into people in New York, too.

^^^

Because I've never learned anything else (except for now).
Let me say that I come from a very wordy family, all correct etc.
Mom would have stopped me if I had said "Excuse me" for misunderstanding.
lol this does not settle the issue for the entire world, i know

"what?" is for informal use if I didn't hear or understand.
others would be "Pardon?" or, if speaking formally, "I beg your pardon?"

But excuse me is taking over a lot of territory and I'd better get used to it.

It bothers me that you find what etc. disrespectful. It bothers me that you
feel insulted when maybe that wasn't intended.

You know, I have a dearly beloved nephew named Jason, whom I called
"Jasie" for the first 4 years of his life. Then he came to me and said,
"My name is Jason." Now for this kid I would give my own life, but did
I manage to call him Jason? It took years. I apologized so many times
and told him to remind me but my mind wouldn't click. That's why I think
your friend's attitude might not be disrespect.

How hard is it leave your hands to yourself and not try to do things you know will make your brother or sister react?

I am so tired of yelling at my children because they can't stop provoking each other and fighting and not talk to each other and keep their hands on their side. I am feeling more and more like getting one of those things they use in sport games that makes a loud sound when you push the button on it or getting something loud to get their attention to make them stop and use it each time they fight or provoke each other to get the message through.

Today my husband had them couched and made them sit there and do nothing with the TV on and the next step would be turning it off and making them sit there and do nothing.

God I don't remember my brothers fighting this hard and I don't remember getting into this many fights with my brothers, I mostly played by myself in my room or in the play room. I didn't tease them on a daily basis and I always stopped when scolded.

I don't really like "what" all that much. I find it sort of "rough" or "crude."

In these instances when "what" seems appropriate, I usually say: "I didn't hear what you said---could you repeat it?"

Period


Weight gain


No job interview scheduled


Prescription not ready


No friends emailed me


Yesterday's precious lil "friend" won't write a letter of apology

f**k that stupidass b***h



The penis keeps waiting until just after I finish eating to offer to cook



Mister redelings won't write a letter of apology either


Court mandated financial reparations


The older and fatter I get, the more I look like a woman, not a man




Idiots keep saying "what"? Instead of "excuse me"


No future

News: A blond lab dog was rescued from an Egyptian place for future steaks, and sent to Canada for rehoming. The dog ate a kid's face.

I just can't stand the immigration lunacy any longer! I will continue to try to help angry immigrants but a dog in Egypt? Absolutely if it was here. But they eat dogs over there, live with it. Bring us the war-torn children, hopefully with their parents.

p.s. yes i love dogs. but we gotta draw a line somewhere, we can't save the whole world.

AprilR,

Quite a few patrons come into the library reeking, too! One guy smelled so bad I nearly threw up.

Especially when you are trying to use the computer next to them



In the library rules, officially it does not allow certain odors, but in practice that is :evil: socioeconomic discrimination :heart: :mrgreen: so. The librarian won't tell them to leave. Numerous precious lil "people" stank like s**t

I have a pain in my back

I don't like when someone is smarter than me and I want to argue with them but they sound like they're right...

I'm not good at any sort of maths apparently... :lol:

I bought some ice creams and they're rich and rich food makes me feel sick.

A person can be as smart as hell-----yet, despite all the arguments for his/her position, that person just might not be "right."

One can argue for the "righteousness" of almost anything----and "smart" people have. They can argue for the "righteousness" of some pretty egregious things.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed-----but I do believe I have a pretty decent, objective concept of what's "right" and what's "wrong."

It sucks especially if you're sensitive to smells :(

^And kortie, agreed very very much! Being smart doesn't mean anything if a person has a terrible personality. What you do with your intelligence is the important part. Also you seem like a smart, sensible person with a very good moral compass.
