Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

You know... I thought I wasn't going to like watch_dogs as much as I do, but it's actually kinda fun.

Oh, would you look at that... It seems that I've gone through 1 gallon of orange juice in under 24 hours....

Incoming heartburn. But worth it.

I'm trying to find a copy of the censored version of The Big Lebowski. Can any of you internet super sleuths help me out?

That's the one thing that sucks about teaching, you have to find censored movies of just about everything AND get the kids to have their parents sign a permission slip stating their child can watch it.

No wonder most kids nowadays are wimpy lol

Censored? wat

Permission? wat

A censored version of The Big Lebowski would be an abomination. No, I will not help you. >.>

It's actually pretty spectacular:

YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!?

Has and will always be my favorite censored line.

This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps, Mag.

(I didn't watch the video, I just remember that quote.)

/le gasp

Student: I heard 2 bad words and I didn't sign a permission slip!!! I'm telling my parents!!

Don't forget those permission slips!! lol

In high school, we watched Troy and I'm pretty sure it had nudity.

Post deleted by moderator because we're all 12 year old kids. Alright. XD

That was back when kids weren't babied as much as they are today. lol

You need permission slips to show a movie? Are you serious? How old are these kids

Blame the parents not the teachers! We don't have a choice ; ; I wish I could slap parents sometimes.

People will find any reason to be offended. Some will tell their parents about anti-christian themes, some about a word that scared them... it only takes one sheltered kid and gung-ho parents to blow everything up.

I remember that Porky's movie from 1982. That was super funny. And really man had it a little bit more of spice it would be a porn movie. (I think as it is it qualifies as softcore porn)

We don't even have permission slips here

Actually, we might have that until kids are around 10 or so but not after lol

Maybe 12 if you go on a trip with your class (we went to an island called Åland for a few days (totally gambled there too and the teachers were okay with it lol))

I had to get a permission slip signed for a few movies in high school.

._.

I don't think I even needed a permission slip for a field trip in high school.

I think USA very is plagued with a sort of victorian hypocrisy when the subject is sex.

No modesty is spent when the subject is violence but there's a excess of modesty when the subject is sex.

You need a permission slip for some bad words in a movie but don't for a movie promoting pedophilia?

Schools these days...

Well, it boils down to the puritanical way we raise children over here. We spend the first 6 months or so breastfeeding children, then immediately shun them away from it, as if they suddenly become perverse. As if their function hasn't remained the same since using them the first time.

As for swearing, no one knows where the word "***" even comes from, although there is speculation of its origins. And even then, the origin is so dated and underwhelming, it makes you wonder why that word is so sinister to begin with.

To me, there should be swear words, but I think "***" shouldn't be one of them. Neither should "***". I think the ones that should really be swear words are the ones whose sole job is to demean or demoralize another person by representing years of hate and derision. The "N" word is one. The "F" word is another (y'know, the one that means "cigarette" in England). Those words are horrid and should be stricken from the language. But "***"? Who the hell is that hurting?

Which one is that
