Semantics? I am arguing that you never read before you post. Don't you love posting that on every thread I argue in... "Oh, don't bother arguing with merranvo, he will just say that you weren't reading what he posted." Insert random quote from my post here... insert text that has little to nothing to do with quote here.
Besides... a mad Jeku is a happy Jeku!
You posted as if I said that I do not understand the purpose of punishment. I did not say that at all, I said that the system does not allow people to continue living in an orderly fashion because the post that are posted dissolve into the phantoms of the forum. Not that they aren't instantly seen, but can end up never being seen at all.
Further more, the quote you used says that there are no real curse words. We just randomly pick a word and say that is a new curse word. Lets make a new curseword... hmmm... how about car. Car is a woman who has a lot of "baggage".
Now that we have a cuss word lets make a rule... no one can say "Car". The thing is people will say it unless a deterant acts upon them. The word has no different meaning in context... but it does have a potential different meaning.
Eventually people will stop using the word car not because they agree with the change in definition, but because they fear consequence and are taught to accept the change.
What does this mean? Rules in society are not formed by society as a whole, but rather formed by small influental groups. Redefining words are just small events, society did not dictate that the word should have an additional meaning.
Rather people influenced others till they managed to overpower society, forcing their new idea upon it, and society readily accepting.
