i'd hardly call them pure-hearted.
As for judging by intention rather than material, because we're all human, people make mistakes and can offend people without knowing it. Here's an example:
At the start of every uni term, we hold a welcoming party for all the first year students, where they can just get to know the students from older years. So we play games, drink together and just get to know eachother. Now one of these games involved writing down different categories on a piece of paper e.g. "Best football player", and the 1st year girls might have to choose an older guy who they think fits that category, and vice versa.
So one of the first year guys gets a piece of paper saying "Most sexually active", and he has to choose a girl who he thinks fits that description. After choosing one of them, he was asked why he chose that particular girl. His answer?
"Because she looks like a s lut!". When everyone was ooohing and aaah-ing, he saiys "But it's true!"
Believe it or not, he was trying to be funny. You shouldn't always just look at the intentions over the material .
Anyway i think we'd both agree that this is going nowhere, and i'd rather be arguing with fred than you, so let's drop this already.
sorry i made you write so much about something so stupid. I wasn't gonna continue it and i thought it'd been dropped about 15 posts ago, so in a way, you're the one who started this particular argument
Dumbass

Graham, dont stretch the issue here........ you KNEW it was a joke..the smily is yellow and big enough for everyone to see ( the dumbass who said she's a ***** and "it is true" obviously mislead some people about his intention) Bad example dude.
i dont mind writting all of that. after all, Fred'll eventually come in here and read it
so in a way, you're the one who started this particular argument
....
Anyhow, i hope you see my point.. you obviously dont want to continue (as usual
