:::::The word "retarded". Why would we need to be so crude in the wiki? There is no need, and the page itself was useless. Nobody's going to spell out a 15 word long search. Not to say that dwarves in DF can't really be "retarded"... It's all about how you make them do what you want which make them intelligent or not. When I was younger, we had an acronym to describe that... PIBKAC.

::::::::Almost every redirect merits the del tag going by the standards stated in the tag. Does this mean they warrant deletion? You might as well del '''Running pump with windmill''', too. From the start I was just pointing out that caring about the language use is silly on such a page and that your justification for deleting it applies to a wide spectrum of pages you aren't interested in. I am not saying that the page doesn't merit deletion -- I am saying it doesn't merit deletion '''more''' than all the pages I'm sure you've passed over from time to time and decided you might as well leave alone.

−
:::::::::On the subject of redirect, they serve their use if the redirect page is a word which could be commonly or wrongly used for another page or item described in another page. This is mainly to prevent double pages and to make it convenient to the visiting user who's not used to the wiki. But do I really need to explain this? --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 21:59, 13 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
::::::::::The fact that you would consider explaining it shows the high level of regard you have for me. Amazing how language can be used to transmit venom without the use of vulgar words. In general, all of the redirects with capitalized names that are no longer linked to are useless, as noone will search for them. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 01:05, 14 December 2007 (EST)

It's your prerogative not to care what I think, but I would prefer that you don't insult me; directly or otherwise.

::::::::::::::The only time I intended to write something sarcastic in this conversation was when I pointed out the tone you used to write the 21:59 13 December 2007 (EST) comment, because things like that tend to escalate if ignored.

:::::::::::I apologize for stepping even close to this discussion, but links with capital letters were mentioned.  I have been trying to make multiple links like '''S'''hort '''S'''word and '''S'''hort '''s'''word into a link where the first letter is capitalized, and the rest are lower case.  This reduces the number of red links, and hopefully makes things more standard.  Should I be preforming re-directs instead?  It seems like a needless complication, but I'm no wiki expert so I'll follow the lead of whoever is. --Gotthard 14:06, 14 December 2007 (EST)

I'm being serious.  Murder is flat-out worse than pedophilia; there's no denying that.  So how is it that jokes about the former can be acceptable, but jokes about the latter cannot? --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 16:50, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
:1) I don't agree with you. My oppinion is pedophilia is worse because then the child may be left with permanent psychological scars for the rest of his/her life, which will be long because they're ''children'' who are not experienced enough to know better. Murder is about as bad, but since the murdered person won't suffer from it anymore I'm ranking pedophilia worse. Both are unacceptable.
 
−
:2) Jokes from both are unacceptable in a normal social situation. Try to make a joke about the murder of someone in front of his family, and see if they like you. Good luck with that. --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 17:03, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
::Pedophilia can be viewed as "worse" because the victim is ''necessarily'' an innocent, whereas in a murder that is not the case.  Pedophilia is, truly, not funny in the normal sense.  Ephebophila, now, that's comedy gold.  --[[User:Geofferic|Geofferic]] 17:07, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
:::1) I'm sorry, but if I had the choice of being molested/raped as a child or being murdered, I would choose the former without hesitation.  If it's truly worse to suffer from the trauma then to be dead, well, they can always just commit suicide.  But I seriously doubt that's the case (fortunately, I wouldn't know first-hand).
 
−
:::2) Yes, jokes about specific crimes can be very offensive.  Since we're not talking about specific crimes, I don't see how that's relevant.  In any case, your statement that both are unacceptable, while completely contradicted by the media in my opinion, differs from the statement I was responding to, so I retract my question.
 
−
:::Ephebophilia: That's a good point.  I was previously unaware of the distinction, and in fact usually when I think of pedophilia, it's actually ephebophilia that I'm thinking of (who wants to think about real pedophilia? That's creepy!).  I'll keep that distinction in mind in the future. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 17:30, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
 
 
−
::::Well I wasn't making a personal judgment call on what is or is not the worse crime. I was speaking from a societal point of view.  Pedophilia could easily be seen as a "worse" crime societally - and I'm, again, not making my personal judgment here.  I'd just as soon avoid murder and pedophilia, period.  Of course, since we're truly talking about murder versus ephebophilia - I would think the latter is far "preferred" societally - and not even criminal all the time.  --[[User:Geofferic|Geofferic]] 19:03, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
 
 
−
::::1) Unfortunatly, the whole point of a murder or pedophilia act is that you don't really have a say in the matter. Furthermore, if you really go to the lenght of suiciding after suffering from pedophilia, the end result is then exactly the same than an improved or move vicious murder. Which is why I rank it worse. :P --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 17:55, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
:::::That makes no sense.  If you're molested, you have the choice of living with the trauma or committing suicide (not that I advocate the latter).  If you're murdered, you have no choice whatsoever. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 18:05, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
::::::Suiciding is something else. I was refering to the pedophilia and the murder acts concerning the "no choice" comment, not suicide. --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 18:12, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
:::::::Since we're getting all technical about terminology, I'd like to point out that pedophilia is not a crime.  It's a sexual orientation.  It's acting on the urge (pederasty) that is the crime.&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 18:33, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 
−
:::::::I realize that.  My point is that choices made lead to new choices.  The only exception to that is the choice to end a life, which closes off future choices.  Life isn't fair, and sometimes our choices get made for us.  Sometimes those forced choices can be quite nasty.  But a person who is violated but not murdered still has plenty of choices: how they are going to cope, whether they will seek justice, whether they will have spaghetti or tuna salad for dinner, what they will study in school, what they will name their children, how they will spend their retirement, etc.  A person who is murdered has none of those choices; the act of ending their life robs them of all their choices, not just one.  You talk as if none of those other choices matter in light of the one choice that the molested person didn't get, yet they're the same choices that everybody is faced with.  In my view, a person who accepts that effectively has committed suicide, whether they're still physically alive or not. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 18:48, 12 December 2007 (EST)

−
:::::My native language is french, I speak québéquois as the "subculture". Normal québéquois dialect I think, no special accents and the like. At least I don't know we have a name for it. I'm near Montréal, so if there is a name it should be related to that area.
 
−
:::::Eagle of Fire end up being a name, my name when I'm on the internet. Which mean that if we follow french conventions, we'd (try to) say it exactly like in english. Literal translation would be "Aigle de Feu", which mean exactly the same thing than in english: an eagle made of fire.
