Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2260 Joined: 21 Jan 2008     | Uh, sorry, but I don't get the point of the thread. If it's that everything is considered blasphemy now, well, that's because people are asserting their opinion... and generally being dicks, as they have always been. - A procrastinator, who is currently confused Edit: Slow down on the threads, Ultrajoe.

ive only posted... 3, one in each of the primary sections, i was just bursting with ideas and to prevent the widespread splattering of joe, i splurged them out. The point of the thread goes thus: What has someone said or done that is BLASPHEMY!, ie. so blatantly wrong or disrespectful that it deserves a facestab/electrocution/backstab/headpwning/nuking yeah, its vague, i like to think thats part of its charm! |

I have to disagree with you here. I have to agree with stompy though, take it slow Joe. |

Ok, well then, I remember awhile back, there was a thread which discussed this guy in the UK suing a chip maker, because the chips had minute traces of alcohol, and the guy's religion (Islam) forbade the consumption of alcohol. The thing was, the traces of alcohol were so small that the food regulator over in the UK though it was unnecessary to disclose. Having talked to some of my friends, who are Muslim, they reckon the guy's a dick. I hope this is what you mean Ultrajoe. - A procrastinator |

Oh no I like other Australian bands, Mortal Sin being one of them but I'm not into any of the other stuff you listed. Anyway, I suppose people saying that half Life is 1/4 as good as Halo is pretty...well...BLASPHEME! |

theres a current well supported theory that he never wrote any |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2212 Joined: 24 Apr 2008 |
BLASPHEMY! and id love a link to a page with this theory, it sounds fascinating. completely unrelated: Espousing a 'popular' theory without factual evidence or a believable premise. - BLASPHEME! completely unrelated... really, i hate when anyone does it, not just nightfish, whose comments i reserve judgement of until he has had a chance to defend them. I do know the circulating theories on how other playwrights were 'absorbed' into shakespeare, almost half his plays have been called under this at one point or another (most still under speculation), i have just never heard of one that claims he wrote none. Claiming you can spot the difference between two shades of crimson lipstick when really, your just a victim of marketing genius - BLASPHEME! |

And let's be honest, if you blow your stack every time someone is wrong in your presence, you'll probably have a stroke in the not too distant future. Accept that everyone is an idiot and allow it to wash over you. It really is the only way. |

BLASPHEMY!! i love this system, they reply: BLASPHEMY!, they extend logical debate: BLASPHEMY! its the perfect response... the joke here BSLSimes, is what do people do that, to you, is so utterly wrong that it is BLASPHEMY! people ruining the premise of my blasphemy thread- BLASPHEMY! |

Muckraker  Posts: 314 Joined: 27 Mar 2008 | "Robert Smith is emo" makes me want to gauge peoples eyes out. 1. he moans if anything not whines. 2. he was before emo. 3. he was at the forefront of goth. 4. The cure are to awsome to be connected with emos even though many listen to them. Same goes for manson is emo or anyone who is obviously not emo but wears black. I bet some people thing Ozzy Osbourne is, ignorant possibly metrosexual people. now that is off my chest "Bass is easy" - i am a bass player also "who wants to play bass anyway?" "no one can hear the bass" "the bass just follows the guitar" and "oh ok so you play guitar" "Xbox is better that PS3 because of Halo" "I listen to house and hip hop because it is the only music you can dance to" "Sephiroth is gay" "So what music do you like?" "So what kind of music do you like?" A PARAPHRASED QUOTE FROM DANIEL JHONS LEAD SINGER AND GUITARIST FOR SILVERCHAIR: "I look back at frogstomp and think to myself 'what was i doing' i feel the new album is the best one yet" "Punk is crap it requires no skill" "Metal is just loud guitars and yelling" "Screamo is really expressive and the lyrics are so meaningful" - it is only good to mosh to I find so many things blasphemy mostly ignorance about music especialy when i say something like "you like the sex pistols" and people say "Who?" I hate how ignorant people into artificial pop can be so ignorant. that little thing reminded me of one i experienced: i am still face palming. sorry for my long rambling, tangent ridden post none of you will probably care about |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1300 Joined: 7 Mar 2008 | actually none of that is blasphemy :) to commit blasphemy is to utter disrespect towards any religious deity saying "Apart from Midnight Oil, australia has never produced a decent band" however you might disagree with it isn't blasphemy cause last time i checked they weren't gods and would be kinda peeved if you called them that, and sides AC/DC and the BeeGees were way bigger bands to come out of austrailia now saying "kanmare is a slut" that is blasphemy, everything else isn't sorry to say |
Muckraker Posts: 314 Joined: 27 Mar 2008 | there is the original definition of blasphemy which is that but here is also a current term derived from that which you say about something so you deserves the wrath of the gods. |
Just asking, but i have noticed around our big wide world nowadays that there is more to Blasphemy than religion, people can Blaspheme (capital letter here to represent the heinous nature of the offense) about almost anything, allow me to elaborate:
1) "Apart from Midnight Oil, australia has never produced a decent band" GAH! BLASPHEME!
2) People who sing the wierd al song "a new hope" over the original song "American Pie" Its a classic! what's wrong with you... BLASPHEME!
3) "Isnt Yu-Gi-Oh the first ever trading card game?" Facestab! you BLASPHEMER!
4) "Whats pokemon red version?" (kid clutching DS) *breaks DS and uses shards to perform substandard acupuncture* BLASPHEME!
5) (along the same lines as above) "Isnt the Play-station the first ever console?" *rips apart play-station and applies electrodes to balls* BLASPHEME!
6) "Shakespeare wrote like... 6 plays?" Lets count them! by shoving them past your eyeballs one by one! BLASPHEME!
7) "That Terry Pratchett dude rips off Hogwarts in his books" BAH! Published 15 YEARS EARLIER! BLASPHEME!
8) "AFL is a sport" BLASPHEME! (couldn't resist)
9) "i prefer pong over pacman" WACAWACAWACWACABLASPHEME!
ok, thats enough for now, my eyelid veins pulse, forming a picture of the kid from # 4, not a good state to be in...
mostly rage against ignorance, but please, share the unbearable Blasphemies of others, in graphic detail, and do share what you wish you had have done to them, no callous rage is too petty, no obsessive nitpickyness to shallow, i want them ALL
