or to take out the u in wondering

St. Anky · 07-02-2004, 11:18 AM

well, what language is it said in?

BarryJive · 07-02-2004, 12:45 PM

or you talking about connotation and denotation? denotation being the dictionary definition of a word and connotation being the implied meaning of the word like..."making love" has a somewhat positive connotation...and "fucking" has a negative one.

Saint DH · 07-02-2004, 12:58 PM

I don't think he's smart enough to be talking about that. I think he's simply asking if there is ever a time that something written down could have more meaning than something said face to face. In other words, could writing "I love you" on a piece of paper ever be more meaningful than saying "I love you" to their face?

Cocktooth · 07-02-2004, 01:18 PM

Of course not...everything said to the face is way more meaningful....weather its I love you or Fuck you....1. can lead to alot of sex 2. can lead to a big fight!!!

Thanks for the great advice there Shaw.

Not sure if this would be a case where it means 'more'...but, if you were to write someone a note that says "I never talk," it would lead that person to have a mysterious perception of you. I mean, let's be honest...people who don't talk at all are freaky. On the flipside, if you go up to someone and say "I never talk," they'll just think you're a liar.

Yeah, that was a terrible example. Sorry.

In other news, I really wish this topic was more about wounding and less about wondering.

Saint DH · 07-03-2004, 03:59 AM

Let's talk about wounding then. Would you rather get shot in the arm by a 9mm bullet, or shot by an arrow in the arm. I'll take the bullet any day.

Niger Angelus · 07-03-2004, 04:07 AM

But that is a this or that.

Orgazmo · 07-03-2004, 12:34 PM

I'd take the bullet as well. The arrow seems like it'd tear more shit up...especially during the removal process.

Mr. Blonde · 07-03-2004, 04:21 PM

Dude, I'd totally take the arrow. Everybody knows someone who's been shot, how many people know someone who has had an arrow driven through their arm?

cough man · 07-03-2004, 04:51 PM

i would have to say the arrow, because for some reason an arrow sounds like it would hurt less..............unless it was a really big arrow

Thats like saying id rather take the dull fat needle to get blood drawn at the doctors, then the skiny sharp one.

07-03-2004, 06:52 PM

It depends who is doing the shooting.

I'm assuming we are comparing getting shot by a gangster and getting shot by an American Indian; in which case hell ya getting shot by an arrow would be much cooler.

But if it's white trash who are bowhunting, id rather have my ass capped by the Glock 9.

underwater · 07-04-2004, 08:35 PM

so getting back on topic....

hell yes something written down can mean more than just saying it...

someone can just SAY they're going to file harassment on you. it doesn't mean shit until you get the paper in the mail (the written words,) that you've had harassment filed upon you. trust me, i know this.

when you sign contacts.... you can't just SAY that you agree to the terms. you have to sign a form that states, on paper, all the terms and that you agree to them.

so i guess i'm saying that, legally, written words mean a lot more than said words. and actually, in my opinion, usually written words mean more than said words. that way you have proof that the words exist.
