• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    So... We're talking about a kid that we're referring to as 'it'? :? And I guess that in theory, the law could be that books written after the law was passed could not contain the banned words, but... I can't really see how banning words would help anyone. Or how it would. Umm. Work. People would...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I'm neither condoning that nor doing that. I was merely giving the tip that saying that is a horrible idea while in the debating hall. The point is that saying that if you disagree you don't understand implies that the statement is and must be true, which is against the point of the debating...

    I'm fairly sure that no one disagreed with Shinji's statement, merely the way he phrased it, like Eloi, and earlier, I, said. I would also like to say to Shinji that his response to my post... What is this I don't even. I never said that your argument was bad! "i never said you were stupid, i...

    Yeahsure. I have no doubt that Alvyren will tell me that my post was off topic, I just felt that it needed to be said. Also, I didn't say that your argument was bad, (Although I should have,) I simply said that the way you phrased a part of it was. I didn't contribute anything because there...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    ... I'm fairly sure that I've seen this need to be posted at least three times in the past few days, but the "If you disagree you didn't understand my argument" statement is a good way to make no one pay attention to your argument.

    Calm down! There's a sticky up there that wants your attention! You're arguing on the definition of a word, which isn't the point here!

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Words like those can be used by those that they are targeted at because those they are targeted by cannot be in the archetype of person that would mean them pejoratively. Those that you cannot tell from appearance to not fit in that archetype cannot use the word if there are those nearby who do...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    o.o Jew can be used as a slur, as has been stated previously in this thread. If the word Jew is used with the intent of being a slur, it is a slur. Using Jew as a slur is suggesting being Jewish is bad. Obviously, if you're saying Jew and you don't believe or suggest that being Jewish is bad, it...
