If it makes you feel better Parrothead, it's the only word left on my censor on my forums.

From page 1: Parrothead. Do not tell people what they can and can't say. I can use the name of God in any way I please, as I do not believe in him. If you have your arbitrary rules for your religion, do not impose them on others. It makes me very angry when people do that. If you believe the Bible, then taking God's name in vain is a bad thing, but that doesn't mean you can't say, "Goddamn it." It means you're not supposed to say things like "God hates cigarettes" (haha even better, censor!) or "We're fighting God's war!" Food for thought. No, it does mean you can't say "God Damn" or even "Oh My God" because they use the Lord's name Irreverently. No man has the right to petition God to damn someone or something. The breaking of the second(third) commandment is gravely offensive to religious men like myself. But it is up to us to keep a cool head about these things. So be it. I have to say even I have done it and probably on this forum more than once with phrases like "For God's Sake." And for crying out loud what does cigarette censor!? It's driving me crazy. And Fry, please don't be to mad at Parrothead it's not an out right act of censorship. It's simply a request.

Uhh, God isn't God's name. God's real name is some word that meant "I Am" which the Hebrews lost the pronounciation for since they never spoke it ever. This unpronouncable name is usually translated as "The Lord" in English Bibles. Course, that's God depicted in the Old Testament. The New Testament is not using Jesus' real name either which is actually Joshua.
But your beliefs may vary, so how about we get this topic back on topic?

I prefer to use "Arceus". Here's the scene from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! I was talking about in the Waluigi thread: The other one can be considered like a "formal outfit" for his microgame designer job.

Does that make Diamond City his second home after Kitchen Island? Like Castle Wario is his summer home?

In at least one game (I'm sorry, I forget which one) the Music Box from WL3 is visable in the background of Wario's house.

As much as I am happy that Wario has his regular costume, I an annoyed that it got its own update.
Why couldnt Sakurai just lump it in with everyone elses costumes?

And don't forget all those crazy Mini Warios from the end of WarioWare: Smooth Moves, designed after Little Wario from Wario Land (haha, those cute little beggars!)

Yes, I hate that word being used in reference to gay people. It is offensive. It offends me, and I'm not easily offended. But I use the word in reference to cigarettes (as I am British), so in the event that I use the word, it is replaced with the non-potentially-offensive alternative.
Because I love f*gs!!

Well, here it's usually referenced to tourneyf*gs, and well...that's about it. ;D

My RA freshman year who wasn't gay himself but was raised by two gay women HATED the word f*g. He said it reminded him of burning, which I guess makes sense in some weird way. A f*ggot, historically, is a bundle of sticks for a fire.
But, personally, it's part of the colloquial for 15-30 year old guys I know definitely here but likely a lot of other places in the world. It's not nice to use when referring to people and it's the ultimate in derogatory terms for a gay man, but, just like people using "that's gay" or "n*gga please" it's just part of the culture now. Who knows: if people keep using it this way, the original meaning will get lost and, eventually, it becomes something completely different. I mean, "geek" was a term for circus freaks. And roses used to "stink." "Swell" was a curse word in the earlier half of the 20th century, and we always find new ways to say something's interesting ("sick," "cool," "boss," etc.). It's part of the evolution of the language, as far as I'm concerned.
Just uh... don't paint me as a homophobe. Please. Two of my best friend's are bi and I grew up with a gay neighbor. I'm not hating.
