Cussing

[Rusty Claymore]

I may be a little late in the pain tolerence bit, but when I broke my hand I didn't swear and I didn't have to. ...If I did swear it was because I was angry at myself for doing it. I can't remember cause I was in shock... Anyways, I never used pain meds, even when they had to set it a second time, and I didn't swear.
So as far as the pain tolerence goes, the people swearing had to think about it, and that took their mind of the cold. I sometimes do the same thing, only inflicting pain somewhere else, like biting my arm during Iron Bridge workouts and such. I find the method described somewhat questionable, but regardless:
Is swearing good for you? Definitely. If you're in the pansy core. Real men take their pain pure. XP (said in my best Hanai voice)

^that's all I have to add to that.

Which would make sense, IF it wasn't for the fact that the experiment also had people repeat words that were not "bad" words. I think Jamie on Mythbusters had to repeat the words "fudge," "hossenfeffer," "fish," and so on. He had to think to say those words, and he still was not able to keep his hands in as long as when he used "bad" words.

So that proves the theory that "Because he was thinking about it it helped" wrong.

That's very misogynistic.

I like my pain like I like my coffee?

[Yuki-Anne]

...with cream, sugar, and a hint of vanilla?

[Atria35]

Psh. No one likes coffe. Pain is like my hot chocolate- sweet and comforting XD

[ShiroiHikari]

Speak for yourself! I like me some coffee. I am also partial to adding flavored creamer to it.

[Atria35]

Adding cinnamon to mud pie doesn't make it an apple tart. And coffee is about at tasty as that.

[Yuki-Anne]

You know, I used to hate coffee, then I had to get up and be at work taking care of mentally handicapped people at 7 every morning. I was drinking it black within 3 weeks. There was just no other way to survive.

[Nate]

I can only drink coffee if about half of it is creamer. So I prefer Starbucks to places like say, Sheetz or Dunkin' Donuts (as far as coffee goes).

[FllMtl Novelist]

I've had coffee before, with a little cream or milk and sweetener. I think it's alright. But one afternoon I kept getting drowsy, so I had a cup. That was a bad idea--I became a bundle of jitters. So I'll only have coffee if I need to get up early, and I won't always do it even then.

I prefer regular to decaf when I do drink it, though. Drinking decaf seems so pointless to me. But my Mom drinks it all the time. XD

Off...topic... XD

[SnoringFrog]

I've resorted to Mountain Dew, Monster, Rockstar, and various brands of energy gum/mints/lollipops to get my needed caffeine. Still cannot do coffee at all. My mom tries certain drinks from Starbucks and complains about how they "don't taste like coffee at all"; I'll drink the exact same one and can taste nothing but coffee.

I think the only way I could deal with drinking coffee is if I was swearing the whole time it went down to ease the pain of the horrible taste. #weakattempttogetbacktothetopic

Apparently water has more caffeine than coffee, so why do people put so much emphasis on drinking lots of water then if its so unhealthy?

[Jingo Jaden]

I say a lot of bad words, but they are mainly used in ways that do not reflect bad against other people. And when it does, it is usually in a sarcastic tone or even doing it for glorifying reasons to said individual. I will admit I have my outbursts, but I feel I harbor no real ill intend towards others which I think matters more than the solely verbal elements as language is adaptive, and I suspect plenty of cuss words will not be considered to even be counted as cuss words in the future.

facts plz

[TopazRaven]

I know the tap water where I live has flouride in it, never heard of caffine though.

[Atria35]

Maybe it depends on the country? Tap water in the US has flouride. Not caffeine.

[Nate]

They do sell caffeinated water but it only comes in bottles.

lol I love how CAA threads just go off topic XD

I jst lke coffee, caffine or no. I hate too much suger and I hate too much cream. I wana taste my Coffee not the 100 pounds of creamer and sugar XD

[Rusty Claymore]

I prefer strait coffee, or if I have flavors it's for a Mocha or some bona fide drink.

Is it horrible of me that every time people talk about getting back on topic, I want to say something like, "Yeah, they're right, let's get back to the %$@#ing topic!"

[shooraijin]

Nicely done.

[Furen]

Wonderful statement!..... ..... :/

[Yuki-Anne]

...you don't know what I censored. It could be any four-letter word.

I might have written, "Let's get back to the cussing topic!" and bleeped it out just for the %$@# of it.



Sorry, I couldn't resist. Also, I think you guys should know, when I type that, I literally think, "just for the percent dollar at number of it."

I read the topic post and it just seems to me that playful bleeping is still slightly off topic. LOL I couldn't resist, Anne, derailing your slightly ontopic post, even though I'm still slightly on topic but I'm not totally on topic so I'm off topic, see? XD

[Yuki-Anne]

Okay, fine. So, cussing. Yea or nay?

[Seto_Sora]

LOL I was just teasing you Anne. But cussing, that is an interesting question as, I would say, I have two answers. I do believe it is wrong and ought not be done, but it is a sin I struggle with from time to time when I am frustrated.

[Censored] yeah!

[Sparx00]

Not for me man. I don't need to swear to make a point.

[Nate]

I do.
