There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

A word means what I choose it to mean - nothing more, nothing less.

I was in a SAC Combat Crew briefing ( Peace Time ) by the Wing Commander. A young Officier (naive and not to smart) got up started out the door. The WC asked him, where he was going ? He replied, you said a bad word, Dam. The WC said, I did. It is x feet long, y feet high and made of concrete. Now sit down and pay attention. Then he added some really bad words.
After the briefing, the WC "asked" if he could use my office to talk to the the young man. I made sure the door was closed, but I have a feeling it was a very one sided conversation.

The word "friggin" makes me cringe. I realize it is a euphemism. I remember being at a golf outing where a couple of drunk idiots were cursing with every other word during play. Someone quietly and firmly told them what an :cus: they were making of themselves. It shut them up and everyone clapped.

I hate people making up pretend swear words. As if we don't all know you're swearing for gosh-darn-frizza-fracca-poopy-pants! Might as well just come out and say it or don't swear at all.
And by the way. "Dam" = structure that holds back water. "Damn" = swear word.

Very interesting discussion. My least favorite to hear are the F bomb and the recent derivitive "Friggin". That is popping up on TV in almost every reality program these days. When Gold Rush was on it amazed me how the guys wearing their John 3:16 hoodies were using the friggin word in almost every sentence. I did a count one program and they had over 20 uses of the friggin word.
The other is a little more subtle. The Lord's name in vain. The GD word. Most people don't realize they are using derivitives when they say, Gosh, Golly, OMG.
The dam thing was covered when someone mentioned the spelling. Add the n to dam and you go from a structure to a "naughty" word--damn.
We had a little fun when we got stuck on a beaver dam in the boundary waters canoe area in Northern Minnesota. Instead of taking the portage, I decided to pass over the beaver dam and take the stream around--never a good idea--but an experienced canoeist like me--:roflblack::roflblack:--we always tell newbies--the portages are there for a reason.
Our conversation went something like this. Dammit, didn't you see the damn dam about six inches under the damn bow? Now I have a damn scratch on my new damn canoe. I wish you would watch a little damn closer dammit.
Give or take a couple of dam and damns, that was how the conversation went. We had to climb out of the canoe, into the cold water of course, and carefully unwedge where the canoe was stuck, then we pleasantly went on our way thinking about other ways we could throw in the D word.
I left out the part about the D cold water--you can make up something if you like. :roflblack:

And often the listener is too damned ignorant to even know the meaning of the word. To wit, the former black treasurer of Washington D.C. Who said the he was being niggardly with the people's money. They forced him out in their stupidity.
By the way, the above was a quote from Lewis Carrol - "Through the Looking Glass".

RESPECT?
I do appreciate the comments about JC and GD. I have never used them in the cursing context, and never will. The OMG has gotten so popular, that some who purport to be believers use it as well. What ever happened to 'geesh', 'oh my goodness', etc. As one posted, people just don't care what they say, or where they say it. There is this thing called, 'respect', that seems to have gone down the toilet. I hear, "you've disrespected me", "I've been disrespected", but what happened to the respect in the first place? When I did work, my co-workers knew that my office was the "F" free zone. In other words, do not use that word in my presence, and it was respected. But, that was so many years ago that I'm not sure it would be heeded now.
Yes, I will admit that I do use sh*t sometimes, and only when I'm really upset, but also use Bruiser's 'compost happens'. I have really enjoyed reading the different perspectives and ideas on this subject. :chat:

A true test is when you can accidently hit your thumb with a hammer and not burst out with one of those "special" words. I have a pretty good record these days--but it was not always that way.
