I didn't bother reading the thread but considering the topic, the people who posted and the amount of pages, this most likely applies. *rolls out thread*
I was 13 when I joined back in 07. Now I'm almost 21. I wasted a lot of time with you guys.
Suck 'em.

Tekkonkinkreet Perfect Blue (Satoshi Kon film) Gunbuster Diebuster Sword of the Stranger Metropolis Brave Story Kara no Kyoukai (it's a series of seven movies of varying lengths) Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Gurren-hen and Lagann-hen (although I'd recommend watching the series first) One Piece: Strong World (JUST WATCH IT!) That's all I think of at the moment.
Sign me up.
Bro, I want to **** your ass so hard right now. No homo of course.
I don't understand why you need help. Looks like you're just fine.
I've been watching a few games since it started on Thursday. I really liked the Spain v. Netherlands game. Rooting for Portugal, Cherry?
Needs more WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY.
This reminds me of the people in my English class who would giggle at the use of the word "gay" in older texts and like those people, that's a sign of immaturity. I expect the people who read such texts to be more mature than your average teenager. But maybe I'm being too optimistic. Although I don't think it's a radical idea for people to comprehend that the meaning of words change because it basically happens all the time.
Unnecessary. There's no need to retroactively edit everything. People are capable of understanding classic literature such as Shakespeare after learning the meaning of the words back in the day and their historical context and the same can be done here. And I love how you're trying to pin all the blame on others for ruining anarchism's name when its followers haven't exactly had the best track record.
You're conflating words with ideas. The word at the end of the day doesn't really matter. It's the idea and meaning associated with it and there's no way to truly eradicate that. Ideas with no words to encapsulate them don't stop existing. While the word "anarchy" has a new meaning and you may not like it, that doesn't mean that the old meaning just stopped being a thing because as you show, it's still an idea in a lot of people's heads and you can express it using other words or create a new word for the concept. It's done all the fucking time.
1984, bro. Newspeak is a fictional language in the book that's used to suppress freedom of thought by limiting people's vocabulary. For example, there's no word for bad, just ungood. Even then it doesn't really matter because the idea of what you believe an "anarchist" to mean still continues to exist even if the meaning of the word has changed due to various factors. Words change. Think of them as variables. They can contain different values and those values can change but the value isn't bound to that variable and can be transferred to another variable or stand on its own. Maybe instead of using a word that has a very negative connotation and a completely different meaning than it used to, use a different word like voluntaryist which is neutral and gets the general concept across or just describe your views instead of using a word that already has a meaning attributed to it. Work with what you've got because trying to force people to change their vocabulary rarely works out well.
