The essence of being a furry

[Draco_2k]

I saw that CSI episode, you know *that* one. To be honest thats how I discovered furries in the first place so I suppose some good came out of it. Initially, I'll admit that the show influenced my opinions but I soon realised that it represented only a sub-section of the fandom, and even then they were probably misrepresented or exaggerated.

No such thing as bad publicity eh.

Well, welcome, anyway. Having people that are capable of doing their own research around is always nice.

Heh, thanks. It's a shame CSI wouldn't do an episode about the average furry, but that'd probably make for poor ratings.

What am I talking about? I dont even like CSI, and I pray I never will.

I don't like anything on TV unless it's on TV land or it's Sinefeld.

What about Stargate? It's got the Unas, reptilian humanoids that basically kick arse. A furry reason to watch sci-fi.

 

[SpaderG]

-_- Okay. I remember reading somewhere "Stargate" and "Biggest Nerd" in the same sentence.

Yeah, that's mass media alright. Don't think I've ever seen a single episode of that myself though.

-_- Okay. I remember reading somewhere "Stargate" and "Biggest Nerd" in the same sentence.

Surely you mean "Star Trek".

 

[SpaderG]

Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Gate, It's all been seen that way.

If it's nerdy to like watching commandos blow the ever-loving crap out of aliens with machine guns then I'm the biggest nerd on the internet.

Winnerz.

 

[SpaderG]

-_- Yep. Enjoy the trophy.

Draco- I just think it isn't so simple.

Secretfur- Hey, welcome! I've never seen that episode of CSI, but I'm so curious. It sounds funny =D

Also, I've never seen Stargate, but I'm a HUGE fan of Star Wars!! My boyfriend is the biggest Star Wars nerd, but he doesn't frequent the internet, so you're title is safe... FOR NOW! >=3

Draco- I just think it isn't so simple.

Dictionary has to be simple - it wouldn't work otherwise.

 

[Nargle]

Hey, that's not true. Some words are complicated. Look up the dictionary meaning for Set!

 

[Draco_2k]

Hey, that's not true. Some words are complicated. Look up the dictionary meaning for Set!

That's just different meanings, each with a simple explanation.

If you want truly "complicated" words, you'll have to dig all the way down into slang terms, e.g. "Self-Shadowed Normal Mapping." Misunderstandings are much more common - just look at what qualities people come up for a word "Belief", then compare it to it's real meaning.

Etc.

 

[Nargle]

The fact that it has so many meanings makes it complicated. Like, a complicated emotion is one comprised of many emotions like angry/sad/happy/worried. Being angry is simple, but being four different emotions at once isn't.

Fine.

Like, a complicated emotion is one comprised of many emotions like angry/sad/happy/worried. Being angry is simple, but being four different emotions at once isn't.

Not fine.

You're only using one meaning of "set" at the time - or at least you're supposed to, as doing otherwise would provide an ambiguous statement. Good for poetry, bad for making others understand what the hell are you going on about.

 

[Nargle]

Well, I was talking about the definition anyways, not the way it's used =3

**Sets the set in a set up of settings**

You and your lingual booby-traps.

 

[Nargle]

Lol =D

Hm, that debate kind of wandered all over the place, didn't it?

 

[Draco_2k]

Lol =D

A bit. Think we're the only ones still here...

I'll cut the offtopic for now, if you don't mind. I already have an infraction point for that stuff.

 

[~secret~]

Back from my post-afternoon sleep, and I'm still here. For all those who have never seen Stargate SG-1, I recommend a watch 'cause Richard Dean Anderson is hilarious most of the time.

Getting back on-topic, anymore thoughts on what it is to be a furry?

 

[Nargle]

Draco- Oh, okay. But, would you mind explaining what an infraction point is real quick?

Secret- I think 9ish pages of my opinion is plenty, lol =D

Fair enough lol, always interesting to hear from new people though.

It's a mark left from being smacked around with a banhammer.

Quite true.

That doesn't work. Being a Christian is not an ideal - it's about holding certain beliefs. Being a sinless Christian who ultimately goes to heaven, etc. - that's an ideal.

You're confusing holding certain ideals with actually being ideal.

Actually, the ideal would be Jesus. If you hold him and his teachings as an ideal, and you're christian, fundamentally. You can be flawed in practice, and be chrsitian, fundamentally.

Also, Europe sucks o_o
