You can get the same reaction by using "whilst" or other -t irregulars. They can be really hostile about their language.

Quite literally this. I said it was sexist to refer to motorcycles (or other vehicles) as women because it equates women with something you own and control.

BUT YOU SAY CUNTS ALL THE TIME YOU MISOGYNIST!!!! and here we are.

He isn't even fat, it's just a really greasy form of unfitness. Like he's only eaten quarter pounders and sundaes since the last election.

Rumours are John Campbell is in talks with RadioNZ to join them. Along with Mihirangi Forbes moving there as well and a long time colleague of Campbell's working there as the news director this could be interesting.

So yesterday, there was a fight outside the reception area, right by the Principal's office and just now, a kid yelled out arrangements for a fight outside a window as a teacher walked by. Holy poo poo, the youth of today. Is there some sort of dumbening process going on?

I remember certain kids doing poo poo like that back when I was in school so I don't think it is some magic youth of today issue.

Now just pretend I included the Aristotle quote about poorly behaved kids.

Are you kidding? Meeting up behind the shed/at the park/by the tracks to beat the poo poo out of eachother is a time-honoured tradition. There was a park near my school that gained such notoriety that the cops eventually did a monitoring thing (don't know what this consisted of, probably nothing) for a couple of weeks because dozens of kids were teaming up together in gladiatorial contests of dumbfuckery.

I think Vagabundo's main thrust was not the kids fighting, but them being stupid enough to do and organise it within teacher range rather than on the down-low behind the sheds.

Pretty much. It's like the idiots brawling right by the Principal's office, where all she'd have to do is look outside the window. Be more discreet about that poo poo, jesus christ.

You have far better analytical judgement than they do and more disposable income.

What I'm saying is that you should really be able to make some pretty smart bets on this stuff.

It's basically a competition to have the least amount of fun that you can at other people's parties and take pot-shots at their decorating decisions. Any willing competitor is already a lovely person and probably has a massively inflated ego.
