Well, call us touchy,but most Aussies (of both sexes) will deck you if you call them a cunt. Calling anyone 'a bludger' may also be bad for your health. Originally an early twentieth century slang for'pimp', today it means 'parasite'.


Similarly, most indigenous Australians will react badly (IE will attack you with the nearest blunt object) if you refer to them as a 'coon', 'sambo', 'boong' or 'abo'. Calling an indigenous person a 'coconut' (brown outside, white inside) is the same as calling an African American an 'oreo'.

I know, emotions don't make any mathematical sense. I'm sure that you have grown accustomed to using emotions in your decision making.

Without emotions there would be no reason to make decisions, an uncaring person would have no values and no reason to take any action for any purposes.

Unless Cunt is preceded by Good Everyone appreciates being called a "Good cunt", at least here anyway.

I'm well aware that if you emotionally work up the wrong people you will have a very big problem on your hands (they might hurt you). That's why you have to know how the societies operate to determine whether you will get hurt or not.

That doesn't answer my question at all. Is there some contention over language we aren't supposed to use here.

As for using emotion in decision making, yes I am accustomed to using it in many instances. If the decision is something like what person to spend time with, it would make more sense to use emotion than it would to use mathematics. If the decision is, say, how much money to spend, it would make more sense to use mathematics. Being an emotional creature is not necessarily as negative as you just made it seem, though I may be misreading you.

A lot of societal actions are harmless (ex. helping someone who is not a dangerous asshole), and they are okay to do just because they can and we need collaboration in general to survive as a species. The problem happens when any powerful person with destructive means uses emotions to control society in a way that opens the victims up to harmful activities.

Even then it ties into emotions, the reasons you are spending money to begin with, and all those emotions tie back in to the priority of your desires.

"bad" words are total bullshit. They do not exist. A bunch of dickheads made them up. This forum has no proof bad words exist, so it/they should not censor them.

Actually, you don't have to use emotions in any of those cases. You either spend time with the person or you don't.

Bad and Good are subjective value claims, they exist relative to the values of the people experiencing them, they "exist" just as much love, fear, anxiety, pain etc.

We as a community try and strike a balance so as to make the best community possible, we are lenient and permit a lot of what many people consider "bad words" but draw the line when they are applied as personal attacks on the race, sexual preference or gender of the members. You could possibly express that mathematically if you knew the values of every single member and how they relate to the words in question but that is a ridiculous thing to solve for.

And "Actually", her emotions dictate which decision she makes, it is not a question of whether or not she spends time with someone, but whom she chooses to spend time with out of a myriad of options, her desire to experience pleasurable emotions and the relationship of the people in question with these desires are paramount in making the decision.
