    Could of.

    What do these people think they are saying?


    Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies, and are more than just ice king on the cake. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

    Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts, instead of making a half-harded effort. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

    You can slap a hefty tax on that word right there too.

    If they taxed the written phrase "To be fair", my posts would probably usher Ireland to a budget surplus by 2016.

    Anyone who says the 'The * word' (insert letter

    You are too cowardly to say 'N1gger' but when you say 'the N word' you're making me say it in my head.

    Whenever someone says 'the N word' I say "I don't see how Nebulae are relevant to this conversation

    People referring to their own boobs as "tatas" when, for eg, commenting on their own photos.

    I would tax the use of the word bye as in goodbye after its initial use for each person to end a phone conversation.

    Example:

    Tom: "Alright then I see you later at the slaughterhouse bye" (This one is free)

    Tim: "Bye"(this is also free)

    Tom and Tim simultaneously "bye, bye, bye, bye, bye ,bye, bye..." (charged at a rate of 20 cent per bye)

    It would raise a fortune in no time.

    adjective: Chiefly Law. named or mentioned before; aforesaid; aforementioned: said witness; said sum.

    After Hours is not the circuit court.

    "Most vulnerable in society"

    Worst phrase ever. Special shout out for "literally" too....always used incorrectly.

    If you actually taxed the word "usage" I'd owe money. The number of times my O2 internet has stopped and I text "usage" to make sure I haven't gone over the limit has to be seen to be believed

    I'm not an expert but . . . . .
