(...) The WWF (and wrestling in general) isn't rigged, it's predetermined. There's a difference. Rigged implies that it was done immorally or illegally. Wrestling matches are predetermined so that the storyline is followed, just like any other (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Well, ya, it's rigged. But so what? Look, even the WWF is rigged, but it is still true that: - being a WWF participant requires a great deal of skill. Falling HURTS if you don't do it right. - it's a gateway to even MORE rigged things. Name me (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) My original point, which I think you have partially and inadvertently backed up, is that kids lack the maturity to use profanity wisely.

(...) I've read two of the books, and thought they were amusing, but the plot was identical in both books. The first book might have had some originality, but with seven planned, they're bound to get dull real fast. (IMO, of course) Please FUT (...)

To All, Thanks for the responses, I don't know why this perplexed me so much, now I have a better understanding of it. My fiancee got motion sickness from this film, and I just got frustrated.

(...) Wait. The first part of your note sounded like it was about calm civility. How is it more civil to "insult, flame, or denigrate" someone just because the F-bomb isn't used? So is it about being decent to one another in this forum and trying to (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
