Are your commandments chiseled onto a granite tablet?

Oftentimes I get confused, or improvise decisions on the fly. I was a zombie at 3AM, just checking for new posts on my other thread.

You know, I'll have to try that.

Also, if you couldn't already deduce from my profile picture, I like being sadistic and messing with peoples heads. Mostly my brother, though occasionally the Internet is a good target.

Or you can sig them. That's like a granite tablet, but everyone can see it.

Good idea. I finally have something useful to do with the signature feature. I'm a Christian, by the way. So that might have something to do with it.

What kind of future dictator doesn't prepare a holy tablet of his/her own commandments?

I intend to have my laws carved into a massive obelisk that shall pierce the sky in height...

Why don't you just make a space elevator and put your laws on there. That way, people would associate the pinnacle of human achievement with you.

We should get rid of the taboo on words. They are pointless and.... Dumb. How's that for a logical argument?

The pinnacle of human achievement is when I achieve multiple pinnacles of human achievement. Fusion power, Energy-to-Matter conversion, Interstellar travel, Space elevators, Total galactic dominaton. Maybe figuring out how to change my genetics to make me taller, stronger, faster, smarter and immortal would top it off well.

I think that's something with the human brain, not with society. Swear words activate a different part if the brain. They're tied to emotion. That's I use them to enhance the emotion of what I'm writing. Like salt.

But also like salt, if they're overused or wrongly used, they can be toxic and deadly.

[brainiac3397]

Or if split can create two dangerous substances, like sodium and chlorine. We just need water.

[Subb]

Yeah, Ivo. Then people think you have nothing good to say.

Let's test that, Brainiac. I'm gonna split some swear words, and add controversial opinions in.

Fu-It's okay to say retard-ck
Sh-9/11 was an inside job-it
Cu-The Dark Knight Rises was okay, I guess-nt

Nope. I don't feel the power.

They need to be whole. If you split it, it could be intercepted subliminally, without the viewer even noticing. Like with the recent gimmick the National Weather Service pulled.

Guys guys... What the fuck??? What you are saying shows an insane lack of actual understanding what you are talking about.

Words have only the power we give them. They invoke emotional response because people are raised in ways that give those words power.

How do these words make you feel?

Qij, Mut, Kar, Pidhë

Nothing?

You just proved curse word's taboo is social.

[Ky]

Actually they make me feel like slapping you silly. Stop cursing up in here.

Qij-Sounds like sofa
Pidhe-sounds like bread
Kar-Vroom Vroom
Mut-Damn dogs

You have explained the connotation. But denotation is still there.
