Dear Boon,
Regret that I didn't read your essay due to lack of time.
May I ask what are your English related qualifications?
I studied English Language in my first year of university and got A2 for both 'O' level English Language and 'A' level General Paper.
I'm just trying to understand where you are coming from.
Dear Reliance,
I understand that you are busy. most people are. So please take your time to read them.
I do not understand the relevance of your statement: What has studying English or getting A2 has anything to do with this argument? Please refrain from devolving this debate into "I know better cause i got better grades".
Of course, since you are honest with me, i will be honest with you in return. Infact, regrettably of course, i failed my English in A levels, a pretty critical stage in my life. While in University, English continued to be my weakest subject, while much of my love is in Bio/Chem with a minor in Philosophy. There, my life in 1 or 2 sentences.
Where am i coming from? Infact, you can potentially skip all the things i have typed at the start, and go straight to the last few paragraphs. In fact, i extend these suggestion to everyone in this thread. You will then realize, that the word "creampie" is just a mere springboard for me.
To know whether you are on my side or somewhere else, do this checklist:
1) Have you even been forced to do something against your will because people enforced it upon you, while declaring only they can be right? If Yes, do you like that feeling? Why?
2) If the other thread title still holds and it still says "Brazilian Creampie Anyone?" now, are you
(a) one of those who will jump on and post a message to demand that the OP takes it down, insisting that creampie is exactly what you think it is?
(b) receptive, and that the OP has made an honest mistake. Since a gentleman has already pointed it out to the OP, we shall move on.
My answers:
1) Yes, this has happened in my life. I detest the feeling of constantly being put down without ever a chance for me to challenge their authority.
2) I pick option (b). In fact, i read that thread even before anyone has pointed it out, and i noticed the word but i left it be, thinking it must be an error or a tongue in cheek kind of marketing. There are mods to police the forum, and i very well trust their judgement.
However, it seems to be starting like wildfire, with people jumping in to condemn and demand that the title be removed, as if they are desperate to find someone to be crucified on the cross. People behaving like vigilantes, fixated on their cause, trying to strong-arm people into submitting to what they think is right.
If you can be a vigilante, so can i.
If you can come out valiantly and insist that others are wrong and demand that they must change to suit you, so can i. I will come out to challenge your belief which you hold so dear, repaying the same "kindness" you have bestowed on others by demanding that you change to suit me!
In fact, I am You.
Where am i coming from you say? I will tell you honestly, i dont give a rat's ass what you think "Creampie" means. It is the mob mentality here that disgusts me, with big bullies with big post count lynching new junior members, behaviors you see displayed by 15 yr old on gaming forums.
You brought a gun to a fist-fight, and you are calling me foul when i pull out mine?
