Why so much swearing?


I believe it is a sign of a lack of intelligence when someone needs the constant use of expletives to articulate. Practically every 30 seconds somebody was dropping the F bomb or some other swear word. Annoying and pathetic!
This movie didn't know how close art was imitating life here. Nation of zombies is right!

reply

Yes because in real life people that are suffering from constant stress and terror never use foul language...

reply

Why the sarcasm? Do you not know how to read or comprehend entire sentences? Where did I say or even imply that people in stressful situations never use foul language?
As I clearly stated, my gripe was with the OVERUSE of foul language.
I hope the caps made it easier for you, didn't want it to go over your head again. 😐

reply

No, but your silly, over-simplified and non-factual argument that using profanity is somehow indicative of lesser intelligence warranted to sarcasm, *beep*

reply

This is something that is impossible in this day and age to prove. So it comes down to generalizations and personal beliefs.
I genuinely believe that people who insert swearing into most of their sentences lack the ability to articulate thought and emotion because of a limited vocabulary and it is based on this that I am led to believe they are of below average to low intelligence.
Do I believe that everyone who swears like a sailor is of below average to low intelligence? Of course not! Just as I also don't believe that my opinion is fact, which you inferred from my post. Sorry I wasn't articulate enough, maybe I should throw in a few F bombs next time. 😁
I also don't think the response I received (from Ermaguard) was warranted as it was not only inaccurate but my argument is a common belief, misconception or not, and certainly not "silly" as you claim it to be.
It's like I said it's generalization and personal opinion.

reply

F-bombs would just show up as *beep beep beep* anyway. Go ahead and believe what you want, I sincerely don't care anyway. Certainly not enough to reply to two of your rambling diatribes, at any rate. Cutting to the chase: you seemed rather upset about the dialogue in this film being unnecessarily profane, but it really isn't. Seriously, Australians regularly call each other the C-word as a term of endearment. Besides that, the characters in this film are obviously not intended to come across as particularly intelligent or articulate. Add the fact that they're in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and it would be ridiculous to have them speaking eloquently without excessive profanity.

I'm asking a genuine question here, have you just not watched many Australian films? They're notorious for being packed to the brim with swearing, just compare anything from Bad Boy Bubby to Romper Stomper or Animal Kingdom or even the Aussie characters in Killing Them Softly. Getting upset over the swearing in the average R-rated Australian film is as futile as getting upset about the use of drugs in Trainspotting.

reply

Mozerfeuker !

reply

Yes, obviously the fact that I disagree with your opinion and felt the need to dismiss it by way of sarcasm means I'm an idiot who can't string a coherent sentence together. Or, maybe it's you projecting your own insecurities.

Fact: Australians swear. A LOT. If you don't want to hear profuse usage of profanity, don't watch Australian movies, especially those involving zombies, criminals or Housos.

reply

How forming an understandable opinion from an observation being made can be construed as insecure baffles me but whatever, lets get to the crux of this shall we?
You really do have trouble with reading and comprehension don't you? Again, point to where I said you can't string a coherent sentence together? I clearly said you have trouble comprehending straightforward sentences and you clearly proved me correct.
Take my observations concerning you like a reasonable and mature adult rather than responding to apt criticism with anger and ironical insecurity.

reply

Mom, get off the computer.

Seriously though, I didn't find the swearing egregious. Maybe you're just sensitive.

reply

Martyrs being one of my favorite movies, Doug Stanhope being one of my favorite comedians I don't think I'm sensitive. I just found with this movie the swearing to be overused and came across as lazy dialogue filler. It made me dislike the characters.

reply

I disagree with your assertion that the constant use of expletives denotes a lack on intelligence. The "F" word and all of its different forms like "F" "F"er "F"ing "F"ed make it one of the most versatile words in the English language it can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb and more depending on the placing and context of the sentence in which it is included. You can convey more emotion with the use of this one simple word than you can using an entire sentence of other descriptive words. Curse words are apart of the everyday lexicon of many people both ignorant stupid people and the smartest individuals this world has to offer. I use the "F" word constantly in my daily language use but I am aware of my surroundings and who is present and will curtail their use when appropriate if children are present or if I am at work or feel the people around me or engaged in conversation with me are uncomfortable with them being used. Also are you trying to tell me that if you were in a zombie apocalypse and dealing with all that it entails you would not be cursing up a storm due to the situation in which you find yourself? I hope you notice my approach to your comment was to give a thorough and thought out response and not resort to name calling or general douche baggery as I prefer to have a civil "argument" or conversation rather than resort to name calling and internet trolling. Thanks for reading my reply and have a good day!

reply

I appreciate your response and respect your opinion but I don't agree with your view so we'll have to agree to disagree.
To answer your question concerning an apocalypse, zombie or otherwise, I would swear, sure. Maybe more than in everyday life, given the circumstances, but in context I wouldn't be swearing anymore than normal.
The characters in the movie were using F*%k as if it was necessary as opposed to using it as an adjective. I can't quote exact lines, I'd have to rewatch some of it but here's a general idea of what I'm talking about...... "I had to go to the f#*%ING store!", when "I had to rush to the store!", would be the preferable option for my mind, whether delivering it or listening to it from someone else. I don't know about you but I would always prefer the latter option regardless if it was an apocalypse or not.
In saying that, I understand all people are different, and even though I have little tolerance for such unrestrained and overuse/misuse of certain words, (not necessarily restricted to swear words,"literally" comes to mind!), I still wouldn't want it any other way. Call it a pet peeve.


reply

It's really an Australian thing, to be honest. They're just an overwhelmingly foul-mouthed nation, especially in the lower socio-economic areas. The Mad Max series is something of an exception since the language in those is generally very clean, but the fact that it was created by doctors (both George Miller and Byron Kennedy met in medical school and finished their diplomas before getting into the film business) and was made 30-odd years ago when language in films was far more tightly regulated, probably factors into the equation.


reply

Now you're making a lot more sense and you're absolutely correct, it is an Australian thing. I lived there for a few years and although I accepted this for what it was, I still found it to be somewhat off putting. The language itself wasn't offensive, it was the way in which some people incorporated it into their verbal communication. "Just going to the f#@*ing pub", "we bought this f@#*ing dartboard the other day and I f#@*ing love it!". Now, "I f#!@ing love it", I have no problem at all with, I would probably express myself exactly the same way. It is the unnecessary and overuse of swear words that for me is particularly off-putting. These people always came across as high-strung or even angry, and in some cases, dare I say, kind of dumb.
I believe they went overboard with the swearing in the movie. To my mind they could of portrayed this part of Aussie culture with half the amount of swearing, easily.
As I've stated before it put me off the characters.

reply

I got the impression the characters aren't really meant to be overly sympathetic. After all, the plot was based around the book of Revelation, with references to the Wormwood star falling from the sky to signify Armageddon. Maybe the zombies are the bodies of all the people who've been raptured and the survivors are those left behind in Hell on earth :D

reply

So let me get this straight. You've lived in Australia for several years and claim to be aware of the fact that we swear a lot. You then watch a film written by an Australian, with Australian characters from average working class backgrounds who are thrust into an unbelievably stressful situation, a situation where they have lost loved ones to appalling circumstances that are far beyond anything they're ever likely to have encountered. In all of this you think that the amount of swearing is excessive? I haven't misread any of this have I?
You're not a big fan of realism in movies then, I gather?

reply

Realism in films? What was realistic about this film exactly? The gasoline not working for no explainable reason or the zombie blood acting as a combustible liquid, equally unexplainable?
I stated quite clearly that I found the swearing to be excessive which made me dislike both the characters and movie a lot more than I would of. Not once did I claim them swearing so much was unrealistic.
The movie was *beep* to begin with, the swearing just dragged it even further down.
Australians are really really bad at making movies though, which is why I wasn't overly disappointed when viewing this pile of rubbish.😀

reply

Most of what makes or breaks a movie isn't whether the audience believes that there really is a zombie holocaust, or a theme park with cloned dinosuars or a super hero who loses his powers when he gets near kryptonite. It all hinges on whether the characters act and speak believably. You don't like swearing? Stop watching films where the characters are likely to swear. Problem solved.
If you're as dazzling a conversationalist in real life as you are on a forum I'd imagine that you'd be quite used to hearing swearing.

reply

Another retard who can't comprehend straightforward dialogue!
I said I didn't like the incessant and excessive use of bad language! Nowhere have I said I don't like swearing in any shape or form! I suggest that you go back to school and repeat some core basics of the English language, as it is apparent that you severely lack in this department!

reply

What you actually said was that you thought it was a sign of a lack of intelligence when someone needs the constant use of expletives to articulate. You also indulged in a little intellectual snobbery regarding your personal opinions on swearing, and the sort of people who do it. Considering the movie that you watched was about people (in a country known for colourful language) from a working class background (notorious for being top notch users of foul language in a nation already noted for its prolific use) the characters are unlikely to say "oh stuff and bother" at their first sight of a zombie. In fact the movie would be seriously lacking in any sort of realism if they didn't swear. The amount of colourful language was anything but incessant and excessive for the people and the situation. This has been pointed out to you by several different people and yet you don't seem to get it. But I'm the retard. Which was a deeply hurtful comment by the way. I'm shattered.

If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

You don't like swearing? Stop watching films where the characters are likely to swear.
Point to where I said I didn't like swearing?

In fact the movie would be seriously lacking in any sort of realism if they didn't swear.
Point to where I even began to imply that the movie shouldn't have ANY swearing in it?

In fact please quote where my words steered you to believe that I was implying anything other than I thought the swearing in this movie was excessive? If you can't do this then stop trying to manipulate the argument to create something that was never there, apparently just so you can argue.
If this isn't what you were trying to do then yes, you are a retard, seeing as you cannot follow straightforward and logical argument/opinion.
If anyone doesn't "seem to get it" here, I'd say it was you.

reply

In your first post

Annoying and pathetic!


I'm assuming that because the title of the post is "Why so much swearing" that it was the swearing that you found annoying. Complaining about too much swearing in a movie like this is usually the territory of the same type of person who posts something like "Why all the car crashes in The Blues Brothers".
You didn't say anything about not liking any swearing, just too much swearing. How exactly do you quantify too much swearing?
Have you seen The Devils Rejects?
Thumbs up or down?
Ever heard of Quentin Tarantino?
Seen any of his films?
Is there a magic number?
More than 20 "F" words per hour?
25?
I'm curious to see what number you use to judge.
Do you take a checklist into the movies with you?

The fact that if it had any less swearing in it would be unrealistic also indicates that you're not big on realism in films. It's easy to join the dots once you know how.

If it will help you feel superior, I can send you a profanity laden personal message. I'm Australian, so I'm very good at it.

If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

You didn't say anything about not liking any swearing


So why did you try saying I did with this remark?
You don't like swearing? Stop watching films where the characters are likely to swear.

You weren't trying to manipulate my words and meaning into an argument you seem adamant on pursuing for some reason only known to you were you? Must be low self esteem to be so butt hurt over something so insignificant. But if you are intent on being such an a@#hole about it I will indulge you and explain why you are an idiot for bringing in the likes of Rob Zombie and Tarantino into your pointless argument.
They both have successful and sufficient plot and character development in their films to warrant such prolific foul language in their scripts. Neither of these two directors came across to me as using swearing as lazy dialogue filler but rather to accentuate the character's personalities as well as their circumstances. Wyrmwood? lol. A minute or 2 of watching some guy's morning routine or a couple minutes of someone else sitting around a campfire is character development? What little we know of these characters is nowhere near enough to assume they use this language to the extent they did in everyday life (and don't try to say they needed so many swear words in reaction to their situation. A few here and there, fine, but every 2nd or 3rd word? f*#k off!). In fact one of the characters was a family man who seemed to be quite middle class and on the surface one would assume he was not the type to swear so readily. So they are thrust into an extraordinarily stressful situation. So what? Your entire learned speech pattern doesn't just change in an instant. It is learned behavior, in other words, you are talking about rewiring the brain to some extent. No way they would be all of a sudden saying "f this and f that and f off and f you zombie" to the extent they were. So yes, I absolutely say it was excessive. And I absolutely say it was lazy dialogue filler which to me is pathetic and annoying.

As to your ridiculous questions on how I determine what constitutes excessive swearing? Well, you apparently have the answer yourself as you seem to have come to such an indisputable conclusion with this ....
The fact that if it had any less swearing in it would be unrealistic
....what constitutes "less" swearing? To arrive at such a definitive conclusion as this there must surely be some type of precise equation you're using, after-all, it IS fact isn't it? Maybe you could apply this equation to how I determine what I deem excessive?

And then we come to you wanting to send me a profanity laden PM. Well, if you did you would in all likelihood be proving my theory correct in my original post <
I believe it is a sign of a lack of intelligence when someone needs the constant use of expletives to articulate.

Now wouldn't that be ironic?

reply

Because the title of the thread is "Why so much swearing?" which sort of points to you not liking a lot of swearing.

Must be low self esteem to be so butt hurt over something so insignificant.


Low self esteem? I think you've probably been watching too much Dr. Phil. Stop it immediately, he's an idiot.

But if you are intent on being such an a@#hole about it I will indulge you and explain why you are an idiot for bringing in the likes of Rob Zombie and Tarantino into your pointless argument.

Neither of these two directors came across to me as using swearing as lazy dialogue filler but rather to accentuate the character's personalities as well as their circumstances.


What exactly is a successful plot? I'm going to assume you meant that they were successful, because that's the only thing that makes sense.
So because Rob Zombie and Tarantino are successful (or possibly have successful plots, whatever that is?) they can have all the swearing they like and it's good character development, but some nobody from Australia makes a low budget B-grade film and suddenly that same amount of swearing is a sign of low intelligence, and entirely unnecessary? In your esteemed opinion anyway.

Character development? It's a zombie film, a genre where they don't usually have a lot of character development. This is mainly because most zombie films are low budget and film stock is expensive, so they can't afford to waste what they don't have. Also most characters in zombie films usually wind up dead, so there's little point going into too much depth for somebody who is going to get his head blown off after 3 minutes of screen time.

In fact one of the characters was a family man who seemed to be quite middle class and on the surface one would assume he was not the type to swear so readily.


You must have really paid attention to the movie because the middle class family man to whom swearing would almost certainly be out of character is, in fact, a mechanic. A notoriously sweary bunch at the best of times.

As to your ridiculous questions on how I determine what constitutes excessive swearing?


How do I think you determine how much swearing is too much?
I imagine it's a fairly complicated formula, taking into account
1/ The film genre
2/ The characters onscreen job and relative intelligence (can't have the intelligentsia sounding like the working classes can we?)
3/ The amount of character development involved (15 seconds? keep it clean. 3 minutes of backstory, tracing their families back 3 generations? Swear your head off) keeping in mind the restriction implicit in point 2.
4/ The reputation of the director and their standing in the film community.

This long arduous process would explain how you missed out on the fairly important plot point of Barry being a mechanic.

How do I determine how much swearing is too much? I don't. It either rings true or it doesn't.

And then we come to you wanting to send me a profanity laden PM. Well, if you did you would in all likelihood be proving my theory correct in my original post


A profanity laden PM from me? I suspect your sense of humour is as well developed as your finely tuned film critiquing skills.
I'm currently trying to work out whether you're a failed psychology student, a failed film student or a 14 year old who hasn't actually interacted with an adult who isn't an immediate relative or a teacher. I imagine you'll enlighten me in your next posting.

reply

I stopped reading your post after the opening "retort" (rolls eyes) as you lost all credibility. "Why did you say I did?" (saying I didn't like swearing)? Well because you DID! Did you or didn't you say "You don't like swearing"? You went on to say don't watch movies where they are likely to swear. My OP clearly states I didn't like the EXCESSIVE use of swearing in this (lol) "movie". How this was lost on you I'm not even going to speculate on. And I'm not going to repeat myself as to why I think it's excessive to a low self esteemed twit like yourself who refuses to listen to reason but rather start arguments over imaginary issues as you tried manipulating my words into something different to fit your agenda (butt hurt ring a bell?) And when I pulled you up on this you try justifying it with your lame opening retort in your last post, but not before you went on an earlier tangent trying to chop and change to take focus off your moronic statements by making even more moronic statements/comparisons. I mean really, comparing this trash to the likes of Tarantino and Rob Zombie?? Enough said.
Ciao, you latter part of a Centaur!

reply

The old "I stopped reading after the opening retort" trick, which is shorthand for I've lost this and I don't know how else to save face. The incessant name calling suggests that my third guess was correct and you're actually a 14 year old with no real world experience. Say hi to Mum and Dad for me. You voiced an opinion on the amount of swearing in an Australian film being excessive, and included some intellectual claptrap about swearing being an indicator of low intelligence. All without actually having a clue about what constitutes excessive swearing in Australia. When you get called on it by an actual Australian you resort to name calling. You never called me a poopyhead though, so you managed to at least pretend to be an adult.

If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

Explain to me why it wasn't excessive again? Oh that's right because Barry is an Australian mechanic and will say f this and f that and f off, because it's OK to stereotype and make assumptions. There is no way you are right on this because it is obvious the script was lacking any meaningful dialogue so they fill it with swearing which brings us to why I posted in the first place.

Ok, curiosity got the better of me and I did come back to read the rest of your post. And as suspected was pretty much a waste of time but I did lol, especially where you think I meant the directors were successful as opposed to the plots they use. Well, no, I meant the plots. You see, a successful plot is just that, a plot that works. Why you insist on complicating things (or try to manipulate things) is beyond me. If me meaning the directors were successful is the only thing that makes sense to you then you really do have more problems than I first suspected. Generally a successful director has a successful plot. It's not always the case, but hey, that's generally how it works.
Then you go on to say because Barry is a mechanic he will naturally swear like an a@&hole.
You sure do assume and stereotype a lot. You know what they say about assumptions right?
That's right you horses a@#.

reply

So I'm guilty of stereotyping Australian mechanics as being profanity producing machines based on me being Australian and knowing quite a few mechanics who all swear enough to make sailors embarrassed, but you're not stereotyping anybody with your intellectual snobbery regarding swearing being a sign of low intelligence?
You then hypocritically, and again snobbishly, state that it's not a sign of low intelligence if Tarantino or Zombie use swearing because they're directing a successful plot? Surely the plot is only successful after it's been made into a film. Prior to that it's just a plot with potential. A lot of things can happen to a plot between initial writing and final editing.

I believe it is a sign of a lack of intelligence when someone needs the constant use of expletives to articulate.


I genuinely believe that people who insert swearing into most of their sentences lack the ability to articulate thought and emotion because of a limited vocabulary and it is based on this that I am led to believe they are of below average to low intelligence.


Oh and btw, I stated I thought people in general, not directors, not the director(s) of Wyrmwood were of low intelligence.

Well, isn't it true there is not one one swear word in Einsteins theory of relativity or in the declaration of independence?
Are most plays laden with swear words? Are most great lyrics or poems?
I have a lot more evidence in my corner than you do.
And here's the kicker, Are there any swear words in any great all time one liners in cinematic history?
You tell me. After-all you seem to be the authority on this subject?

reply

An authority on swearing in cinema/theatre/the declaration of impudence/poems/songs etc? Me? Hardly. That wasn't the point. Your apparent belief in your mastery of obfuscation is ill founded. What I've maintained throughout is that I know more about how much Australians swear than you do. The rest of it was just responding to your inanities.

reply

Surely the plot is only successful after it's been made into a film. Prior to that it's just a plot with potential.


It is only successful afterwards? Surely you are joking right? So you're saying a plot that has nothing to offer makes it past the drawing board (producers) and then the director and script writer have to transform sh!t into clay?
I am sure that's how it works, I mean who would want a decent plot to begin with, right?

It might be best if you leave the socio/economic commentary out of your posts unless you're commenting on a culture that you actually know about.


Like I have said, I spent a few years living in AWWSTRALYA, and NZ (btw where I got the jandal noun from), so I believe I have sufficient information to know what constitutes excessive. Just because I wasn't brought up swearing like an idiot thinking I am normal in doing so, doesn't exclude me from understanding your hick ways.

Every script ever committed to film was deemed worthy. Most turned out to be otherwise. Many fail due to overlooked lackings in the script. Some due to poor direction. Bad acting. Studio interference. Woeful editing. Poor locations. Low budget. Most scripts that make it to the filming stage are good, some are excellent, and some are made by delusional clowns who think they're better than they are. Untold numbers of planets have to align to produce an average film from a good script let alone a good film. What makes a good film? That can be a bit insubstantial, which can be attested too by the number of low budget cheapies that made a fortune and the number of big budget blockbusters that failed miserably. Look up Heaven's Gate as an example of the latter.

Because the best way to learn more about an entire culture than a native, is to live there for a short period of time. Sorry, I didn't realise I was talking to an expert Australophile.
NZ as well you say? You should pop over to the board for "Once were Warriors" and let them know how wrong Maori culture is portrayed in that film. I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
Normal? There's a concept. If you ever bump into a psychologist at a party (assuming I was wrong about you being a failed psych student) ask them what normal is for a human. If they shrug their shoulders and say they don't know, get their card and keep it for if you ever decide to seek help. If they give you a detailed explanation of what constitutes normal behaviour, laugh at them and walk away.
What you deem to be normal is just the version of reality that you've grown up with. It bears no relation to normal anywhere else in the world.
You obviously needed to spend a bit more time here (if you were actually here at all, "Jandal" cast doubts on your story) because you would have known that there is no such thing as a hick in Australia. The correct derogatory terms are "bogan" or "westie".

The more you type the more stupid you appear. I don't know if you realize just how dumb your little philosophical diatribes look actually, but I am getting some true belly laughs over here!
Oh we know, you will invent another fantastical theory on why I must be lying, because after-all, this has been at your expense from the first exchange.
You have a great need to be right even though you are quite clearly wrong. Anyone (meaning you) who cannot admit where they are wrong, coupled with such defensiveness as you have displayed, almost definitely has poor self-esteem. I figured you out from your second post. That's exactly why I don't think, but know, you have self esteem issues.
Normally I would not screw with someone suffering from such low self image, but every now and then you come across a true blue a#@hole as yourself and think, "yep, this twit actually deserves this".
Oh how I await your response!

reply

You run off on so many tangents, scrambling for a "win", stinking of desperation, I almost pity you and your low self esteem.
No matter how much you try to twist and squeeze and pound this out of context, the fact remains, I think this movie uses swearing as lazy dialogue filler, deeming it excessive. I am also of the opinion that MOST people who need to insert swear words into practically every sentence are of below average intelligence. (How many times have I needed to explain this to you now?) (edit) But here you are trying to convince me to change my opinion? What arrogance! Do you know what "subjective" means? You can't be arrogant and dumb enough to think you have any chance, or right, to bulldoze someone's opinion to gel with your own short sighted slant do you? I mean do you? (end edit)
But here you are still trying to manipulate.
Now you blatantly accuse me of lying about living in your country? Then you start on some garbage concerning a NZ film?
No, that's not desperate at all is it?
Keep them coming Einstein! Wow us with your (cough) masterful debating skills!

Even though I already have explained this to you, my dimwitted friend, several times over, I don't need to prove anything to you. I voiced my OPINION and you are trying, and failing, to prove me wrong. All you've put forth so far is Awstrayleeuns swear a lot, and seeing as they are facing zombies the script didn't indulge in excessive use of swearing. Hardly a convincing argument but you are hellbent on winning an unwinnable argument, yet you continue and continue, (your NEED to be right, fueled by low self esteem 😀) This fact has flown clear over your head several times.
And you question why I call you a retard?
This is really quite amusing.
So once again, give me more belly laughs and attempt to prove to me the swearing wasn't excessive.

reply

Just completing what you started. You were the first one to ask for proof of something that is clearly subjective.

Prove to me the swearing wasn't excessive.

After asking me to prove a subjective concept you then call me a retard for asking you to reciprocate? Not hard to work out who the retard is.



If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

Same can be said of you BTW. You're right because of your opinion.
You do realize that swearing to that extent is abnormal don't you?
It is indicative, amongst other things, of deep seeded anger issues. Even for Awwwstrayla it is abnormal.
Have you considered yourself to be abnormal? Maybe you are. It would appear that you are.

reply

I thought I'd already covered normal, and what isn't. Normality is what you perceive it to be. But it's only YOUR normality. The rest of the world will quite happily trundle on being their version of normal. You claim to have traveled, but are unaware of this? Constantly diagnosing mental illnesses from forum posts? You really should spend less time watching Dr. Phil. It's not doing you any favours.

If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

First of all, no matter how you try to twist, turn and squirm, you can't convince anyone other than yourself that swearing every second or third word is normal. There are certain subject matter that are exempt from the subjectivity of what one perceives as normal and abnormal. A two headed calf, for instance, would be abnormal. Someone who reacts with disgust at seeing a mob beating up a child would be considered normal and someone who swears constantly would be deemed abnormal. As you can see (or maybe not seeing as it's you we're talking about) there are different levels and scenarios where this can apply. But it's not always a matter of subjectivity as you seem to think. Next you'll be telling the world why you think a two headed calf is normal.
I really am enjoying exposing you for the complete twit you are. I stopped trying to reason with you a while back, as it is quite impossible to reason with a retard (there's that word again!) and started baiting you every now and then for this reason.
Secondly, if you are such a proponent of subjectivity, why did you get such a bug up your ass about my opinion? Remember that? Aren't people allowed to have opinions? Are people only allowed opinions if they fall in line with your own? I mean, I did explain sufficiently how I formed this opinion and you are the only one on here who doesn't "get it". Sure, others may disagree with my view but they understood it is an opinion and everyone has a right to one. Oops, I forgot who I was talking to. Waste of time isn't it? Lol.
Moving along, yes, it's very easy to armchair diagnose someone with such glaring symptoms as yours. You have an abnormal (oops, I said "abnormal") need to be right, as I've said before, even though you are quite clearly wrong.
Lastly, please do reiterate how you aren't suffering from self esteem issues (again, you took my opinion way too personal for it to be anything else) when you're hanging around the computer awaiting my retorts, trying desperately to win an unwinnable argument?
Or is that normal also?

reply

First of all, no matter how you try to twist, turn and squirm, you can't convince anyone other than yourself that swearing every second or third word is normal.
Getting attacked by zombies isn't normal either, so I'm not sure if this point is actually valid. A 2 headed calf? Been watching Ripley's now have we? Yep, that's abnormal. Somebody feeling revulsion at a child being treated cruelly would also be normal. Not even sure why you've brought them up. No doubt it's all part of your devious plan to expose me as someone with a different opinion to you. As far as opinions are concerned everybody is entitled to one. Everybody else is entitled to think that opinion is wrong. I think your opinion is wrong. Big deal. You're the one who seems to be all defensive (butthurt is the term to use I believe) and you seem to be making a career out of refuting my opinion. Well done.
You have an abnormal (oops, I said "abnormal") need to be right, as I've said before, even though you are quite clearly wrong.

Well there's a double edged sword.

I've covered this already. Several times in fact. I'm beginning to think you're even thicker than I first thought.

reply

Why doesn't this surprise me?
It's quite obvious why I brought them up, but somehow, yet again, this escapes you. Is English your second or third language? Or was I correct in accusing you of being a retard? Perhaps both?

I think your opinion is wrong. Big deal. You're the one who seems to be all defensive


And yet YOU were the one who came out and attacked me, twice, remember? Of course you don't remember, you don't have the capacity to realize your own hypocrisy.

All you've done is try to twist and squirm your way out of every corner I've boxed you into, like the coward you are. You are clearly wrong, AGAIN, concerning your little philosophy on what is normal and how it can only be subjective. I point this out to you, quite simplistically (as I've found is required when dealing with you) and you still either don't have the intellect to follow or your low self esteem won't allow you to admit when you're wrong.
Again, prove the swearing wasn't excessive. Stop trying to weasel your way around it and prove to me the swearing wasn't excessive. If you can't do this (and believe me, you can't) then accept my opinion, grow the hell up and let it go.
Can you do that Opie?

reply

Not even sure why you've brought them up.

The first one (2 headed calf) is a genetic anomaly (no doubt your family album contains pictures of more examples) and the second was in no way relevant to how much Australians swear when attacked by zombies, which was what the original post was about. Hence their lack of relevance.
Boxed me into a corner? Aren't we getting full of ourselves?

If you were brought up in a household where you were strung up by your heels every night and flogged with an egg whisk, and you had no outside references, the first time you met somebody who didn't get strung up and flogged you'd think they were very odd. Your normality would be far different to theirs. You only have to read anything about any number of religious cults, where kids have been indoctrinated from birth, to realise that reality and normality are fleeting concepts. If you were born into a culture where child abuse was commonly practiced then you'd see nothing abnormal in it. Your normality would be completely different to other cultures. Normality is whatever creed the culture you live in lives by. If you think anything other than that you shouldn't be allowed out unsupervised.
Your reference to a 2 headed cow was just idiotic. A 2 headed cow would be abnormal because it's a genetic anomaly and would be unusual because of it's rarity. Human behavioural normality is whatever humans do in their own tribal groups.

First post

Practically every 30 seconds somebody was dropping the F bomb or some other swear word. Annoying and pathetic!

Which is in a thread discussing swearing in an Australian film about zombies.

Your second post
As I clearly stated, my gripe was with the OVERUSE of foul language.

If your first 2 posts weren't about excessive swearing while being attacked by zombies I'm not sure how else you'd interpret that. No doubt you'll continue with your "once again you're wrong" spiel without actually explaining how.

You clearly have quite an acute problem with reading and comprehension. Seriously, I challenge you to point out where I refer to the movie or zombies or the apocalypse. Forget about what was said a MONTH ago and concentrate, if that is at all possible, on the following statement and point out what I challenged you to.

reply

Well there was this, where you actually damn yourself by admitting that Australians swear a lot.

I lived there for a few years and although I accepted this for what it was, I still found it to be somewhat off putting. The language itself wasn't offensive, it was the way in which some people incorporated it into their verbal communication. "Just going to the f#@*ing pub", "we bought this f@#*ing dartboard the other day and I f#@*ing love it!". Now, "I f#!@ing love it", I have no problem at all with, I would probably express myself exactly the same way.


After complaining about the swearing in an Australian film about Australians from a low socio/economic strata you're then told by at least one Australian that the swearing is authentic and not over the top. You then say that you'd swear more than normal (although you then muddied the waters by saying you wouldn't be swearing any more than normal).

To answer your question concerning an apocalypse, zombie or otherwise, I would swear, sure. Maybe more than in everyday life, given the circumstances, but in context I wouldn't be swearing anymore than normal.
The characters in the movie were using F*%k as if it was necessary as opposed to using it as an adjective. I can't quote exact lines, I'd have to rewatch some of it but here's a general idea of what I'm talking about...... "I had to go to the f#*%ING store!", when "I had to rush to the store!", would be the preferable option for my mind, whether delivering it or listening to it from someone else. I don't know about you but I would always prefer the latter option regardless if it was an apocalypse or not.


You then say that you know more than me about this.

Then you go on to say because Barry is a mechanic he will naturally swear like an a@&hole.
You sure do assume and stereotype a lot. You know what they say about assumptions right?

Which I explained thusly
So I'm guilty of stereotyping Australian mechanics as being profanity producing machines based on me being Australian and knowing quite a few mechanics who all swear enough to make sailors embarrassed

Yet you still persist in assuming that you're correct and I'm not.

If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

It's my opinion so I'm right and you're not


And yes, I am right! It's my opinion, so how can I be wrong? Until there is definitive proof that most people who need to swear to articulate are not idiots then how can my opinion be wrong? You may disagree with it, and that's fine, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong. The fact you came right out of the gate on the attack speaks volumes about your character, and I have gone into some detail on this but we all know you can't handle being wrong or are very accepting of home truths.
Like I said, this is just about baiting you rather than trying to make you, the tard, see reason.

Yes, unlike you, I am able to comprehend what I read. I get the concept of subjectivity. You just don't get it. You never will get it.
You even agreed with me after your ludicrous foray into another failed attempt at a witty(?) analogy. You accept that a two headed calf is abnormal (after declaring my example idiotic, what a hypocrite!) then agree that human behavior is deemed normal or abnormal by how one acts in their own tribal groups. So you still think swearing every 2nd or 3rd word is normal behavior in Western society?

There is no western society as a cohesive group. Americans, Australians and Brits share a common language but beyond that their cultures are all completely different.

Which basically reveals the depth of your ignorance as far as the rest of the world is concerned. Christmas is celebrated in over 150 countries. Easter is celebrated in countries as diverse as Brazil, Ethiopia, Peru, Mexico etc. etc.
New year is celebrated by just about every country. Most at the same time as the english speaking countries. 21st is only really a big milestone in the US because of the drinking age. It's 18 in the UK and Australia. The western diet? That would be the one that kills you from heart disease at 50ish? Yeah, we all suffer from that.The UK and Australia to a lesser extent than the US, but we're catching you up. Getting fatter by the year.
Alcohol? The only cultures without an indigenous alcohol culture was Australia before white colonisation, Inuits, Tribes in Teirra del Fuego and some native Americans. Everybody else has been drinking for millennia.
You've used commonalities between our cultures to try and say we're all the same, but the commonalities go far beyond our cultures. Far enough to render your reference pointless.
Differences? For some reason Friends was popular in the US. This is baffling to the rest of the world. The average American sitcom is as funny as root canal work. Americans find them funny, but the rest of the world finds them less so. Seinfeld was the exception rather than the rule. Your beer tastes like dishwater. Do I need to go on? Thought not.
Zombies and the apocalypse? Those things only happen in movies. Grow up.


I am done with you. You keep losing more and more credibility and I have no desire to keep this pointless debate up. Cannot argue with the mentally challenged after-all. You are one very misinformed, very stupid and very illogical being. You can have the last word. I'm sure you will think it means you won. Think what you like but you will always be a complete and utter twit as long as you stay as arrogant and ignorant as you currently are.

Whether you read this or not is irrelevant. I've had fun. It's been a while since I had a rousing game of "bait the idiot" and this one was a corker. Well done. You're the biggest tool I've come across in ages. You usually only find this level of idiocy on Facebook. You must have gotten lost.



If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

I have to interject here. I am an Australian and we absolutely do celebrate the 21st as a milestone, as do the UK! What you posted is complete hogwash. I wasn't even sure they celebrated this in the US like we did here.
Another thing, he was pointing out why the "commonalities" refute your claim our cultures are completely different. They are far more similar than different. Anyone can see this. He wasn't trying to prove they are exactly the same as you suggest. You seem to get confused over what someone is actually trying to point out to you.
Another thing is alcohol. I believe his point was that we deem it socially acceptable whereas in some middle eastern cultures, for example, frown upon its use with some countries actually outlawing it. It's typically viewed as more a Western past time rather than an eastern or middle eastern one.
I'm sorry but your views on American sitcoms are completely subjective and therefore hold no weight, as are your views on their beer. I for one don't mind American beer. They have been making it for a long time so it comes as no surprise they are fairly good at it by now. My personal favourite is Coors but I am partial to Bud also.
As for your claim concerning Americans not being aware that the rest of the world isn't exactly like America? Rubbish! I for one am not so obnoxious or dimwitted to entertain such a ridiculous idea. There are ignorant people the world over, but you seem to target Americans for some reason? It really sounds to me like you have issues concerning America and its citizens. Maybe you should take a trip there and see how nice they really are. Might change your attitude somewhat.
I'm sorry but you really do come across as quite ignorant here.

reply

Most of it is subjective? Perhaps. US, British and Australian culture being the same? Not likely sweetheart. UK and Australian cultures have more similarities between them than the US. In Australia the 18th is the big milestone and the 21st is losing it's sting. Which is basically what I said. That might have needed a slight amendment. Alcohol is frowned upon by Middle Eastern cultures but it's celebrated virtually everywhere else and not just in the west, so it's not really a valid point.
US sitcoms is a very subjective point. If you like them, then good luck to you.
America is one of the most insular countries in the world, a large proportion of them are completely unaware of what happens outside their borders and when they do travel overseas they mostly expect that everyone will speak English and are surprised when they don't.
To be honest I gave up being rational with the original tool days ago. He was so wrapped up in how his opinion was the gospel truth I couldn't resist. The fact that I had a couple of days with not much to entertain me sealed the deal. Have you read some of his "arguments and proof"?
I'm biased against America? Read his opinions on Australia. See what you think. Not just in this thread.

If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

Well I'm not going to go and read all these threads, I read some however and I did read his OP, I'll get to that in a minute, but I can see why he took issue with you. You're a bit of a pr!ck. Right off the bat you start with a smart-ass remark towards me by calling me sweetheart? No wonder you copped so much abuse, probably well deserved I'd say.
With saying that I am going to remain impartial here, snide remarks aside.
Apart from him seeming to attack all of Australia I see nothing wrong with his assertions. Myself and several family members and friends with whom the subject has popped up do think along the same lines that people who constantly insert swearing into their dialogue appear to be of below average intellect. Doesn't necessarily mean they ARE, but it does look like they might be.
As for the movie, yes, I agree with him again. While watching it I was thinking the same thing, just as another poster said, the F word stopped having any effect. Why did it lose effect? Excessive use obviously.
Remember this is all opinion. For you the swearing wasn't excessive nor do you deem people who constantly swear of below average intelligence and all this I respect. We are completely entitled to our opinions so attacking someone on a personal level because you disagree with them you have to expect retaliation and this was your mistake. I'm Australian myself and him taking a pot shot at Australia didn't affect me. Maybe you're too sensitive?
As for your claim the US, UK and Australia have "completely different" cultures, wow and no. Like I said earlier, we have much more in common than differences. I fail to see where you have provided anything to support your claim other than the assertion their sitcoms aren't enjoyed by anyone else but themselves (apart from Seinfeld of course). Hmmmmm.
I'm not looking to get into a long winded discussion here. I have said what I wanted to say and won't be responding.

reply

I know a lot of people who swear like troopers, and are also very smart. This includes people with degrees and jobs that are commensurate with their education. The assertion that swearing is a sign of low intellect is just elitism of the worst kind. If you want to jump on that train as well then off you go. How you perceive people that swear is entirely up to you. The original point was this – Average Australians thrust into a horrific situation swearing a lot. Extremely high stress situation? I wonder why a sweary culture might become even more so when faced with a zombie holocaust? If you think differently then so be it. At least you’re not being a d@ckh$%d about it.

Then you go on to say because Barry is a mechanic he will naturally swear like an a@&hole.
You sure do assume and stereotype a lot. You know what they say about assumptions right?


Where in that paragraph do I say I know more about anything you do? Are you drunk? I mean you are in lala land.

reply

Lala land? It must be Lala land because I don't drink.
Oh wait, there's also this.

Explain to me why it wasn't excessive again? Oh that's right because Barry is an Australian mechanic and will say f this and f that and f off, because it's OK to stereotype and make assumptions. There is no way you are right on this because it is obvious the script was lacking any meaningful dialogue so they fill it with swearing which brings us to why I posted in the first place.

Does this seem familiar?I believe the term "There is no way you are right on this" indicates that you know more than me. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong.

If you called a Centaur a horses arse, would he be offended?

reply

You are reading it correct, retard, but your comprehension is all messed up, as it has been throughout. Where do I say I know more about your culture than you do? How is it even possible for someone to be so far off target? It's like you are having some kind of stroke or something. How about reading the whole sentence through? You once again either completely miss the point or are trying, again, to manipulate my words into different meaning. What was said was this,

"There is no way you are right on this because it is obvious the script was lacking any meaningful dialogue so they fill it with swearing which brings us to why I posted in the first place."

So where in that sentence (or the rest of the paragraph) do I say I know more about your culture than you do?

I know I said I wasn't going to respond, but curiosity got the better of me one night so I started reading more of your exchanges and I couldn't resist. Scallywag kept arguing you into a corner and you kept digging yourself deeper and deeper into stupidity and desperation. In fact most of your retorts were nothing more than evasive nonsense in the face of his logic. Several of your responses I couldn't make head nor tail of. Instead of responding direct questions with direct answers you started twisting words and subject material completely out of context, as you tried doing with me (remember this?

US, British and Australian culture being the same? Not likely sweetheart.

Delusional?
Let's examine the evidence shall we?
I spent several days arguing with Scallywag_13 (the 13 is obviously his age) because he seemed to hold some sort of elitist opinion on profanity and the use of it by people, and because he also seemed to paint himself as an authority on how much Australians would swear while being attacked by zombies. After several days he realised he couldn't win so he bailed. A day or two later a white knight rides into view in the form of jellyblabber (I think I spelled that correctly) who penned a post that seemed to be written by a fully formed adult, and followed it up with another. Then the wheels fell off and the debating style became the same as that used by Scallywag_13, namely stick your tongue out while saying
"Nyah Nyah, I know I am but what are you"
The posting history and style of both of you (all 1 of you) is so similar that it's almost completely improbable that you're 2 people. I detailed most of this in a previous post. You and he both seem to like calling people twits and morons (I don't think you've called me a retard yet, but that's undoubtedly only a matter of time).
You both seem to be some sort of armchair psychologist, tutored at the university of Dr. Phil.
You claim to be an Australian but the one review you posted, on the Plague board, was by - jerryslabber from United States, which means you're either an ex-pat or a fibber. The fact that you've posted in a way to indicate that you're in Australia lends credence to the fibber theory.

To be honest the main reason I'm still bothering to post at all is because I used to be married to somebody like you, somebody who refuses to let the other party have the last word (your return after a couple of days is evidence of that), and I developed the habit of continuing an argument well past the logical point of null return just to see how far they'd take it.
I have no doubt this will finish eventually when one of us dies, and because I actually finished school a few years ago it will almost certainly be me first, but only after 575,982 posts back and forth. Your output will probably drop once you graduate from high school and start pulling double shifts at McDonalds to try and save up enough money to move out of your parents house, but once you're living away from home you'll be able to post nonsense to your hearts content again. Then you just have to outlive me.
Oh, and also because I'm a bit of a pr!ck apparently.

On a movie review of Plague jerryslabber wrote this

I watched this movie based on the rating and because I like a decent post apocalyptic film.

and this
You can determine this by their IMDb ID's! Same names as the directors! LOL LOL! I don't know which is dumber, these friends and relatives with their obvious false reviews, or the script and direction of this cliché ridden boring mess! Only reason to watch this film would be to later come back here afterwards and read these reviews. Hilarious!


On a post on the Wyrmwood board Scallywag_13 wrote this
Well, I watched Plague also. I went on ratings alone from this site, didn't read the reviews, was on netflix so what the hell. Anyway, that too is an Australian film, and that also has shameless and very dumb, I might add, (some of the "reviews" are written by handles with the same last name as one of the directors) reviews. Very clearly an undeserved rating. You don't even have to watch the movie, just read the reviews, it's quite funny how clueless these people are.

Wrong. I stated my opinion that I think excessive foul language shows a lack of intelligence. I also later said I thought the swearing was excessive in that the script was using foul language as lazy dialogue filler. It also made me dislike the characters. Nowhere, in any shape or form did I state or allude to that people wouldn't swear that much given the situation the characters were in.
I have always maintained you have some kind of problem with comprehending what you read and this is further evidence. Somehow you interpret what you read as something it actually isn't. When this is pointed out to you, you then attempt evasion by flying off on tangents to direct attention away from the fact you are wrong. When I saw this I also pointed it out to you and you reacted by doing the exact same thing. Flying off on tangents, ranting and raving about some such nonsense trying to misdirect attention away from your failed arguments.

After several days he realised he couldn't win so he bailed.
