'deprogramming'

Which is pretty much the same as the definitions I gave. And still an insult.

But I'm sure sparticus can back this shit up.

Well I was going to ask him who he thought the best goalkeeper ever was. :)

I was also thinking of explaining to him my novel idea of setting a wall for free kicks in the range 20-30 yards, where instead of taking one side of the goal and putting the wall in the other, you stay in the middle and have two walls for each side, with a gap in the middle so you can sight the shot (of course you expect to save the shot close to you)... but maybe that would be a bit much... :D

Maybe in your own head, but I'd say that that" common usage" of the phrase is crystal clear and - as I said at the beginning - an offensive remark:
Thought Police

The Thought Police (thinkpol in Newspeak) were the secret police of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four whose job it was to uncover and punish thoughtcrime. The Thought Police used psychology and omnipresent surveillance to find and eliminate members of society who were capable of the mere thought of challenging ruling authority.

Orwell's Thought Police and their pursuit of thoughtcrime was based on the methods used by the totalitarian states and competing ideologies of the 20th century. It also had much to do with Orwell's own "power of facing unpleasant facts", as he called it, and his willingness to criticise prevailing ideas which brought him into conflict with others and their "smelly little orthodoxies". Although Orwell described himself as a democratic socialist, many other socialists (especially those who supported the communist branch of socialism) thought that his criticism of the Soviet Union under Stalin damaged the socialist cause.

The term "Thought Police", by extension, has come to refer to real or perceived enforcement of ideological correctness in any modern or historical contexts.

So what "terror tactics" and "terroristic procedures" am I currently employing, you "tiresome little shit*"?

*to use your own 'funny' description of yourself.
 
Don't reply, it's just a rather large and transparent hole that the editor has spent some time digging and is now asking you to dive headfirst into.

Actually, I'm just asking for a straight reply to a straight question. It took me all of 60 seconds to ask it.

But who are you to tell other people not to reply to my questions?

If people are going to bandy around phrases like "secret police", I have every right to ask for an explanation, no?

How sweet. But seeing as it's got fuck all to do with you, I shall await my answer from the person I asked the question to.

What's that supposed to mean? Spit it out, please.
 
"The term "Thought Police", by extension, has come to refer to real or perceived enforcement of ideological correctness in any modern or historical contexts."

Well editor's own link describes the mild meaning of the term in a modern context.

I'm sure editor and Fridgemagnet will let this nonsense drop, (thanks for calling me a 'cunt' FM) lest someone describe them as 'whinging jackbooted thought police with chips on their shoulders' ;)

It means can you stop me posting my opinion as to the motivation of your question and what i would do in the same situation?

And exactly how do you think I might be able to do that, Mr "22,006 unedited, unaltered uncensored free posts" butchersapron?

Do you see what 'can' and a 'question mark' means? Do you know what they mean?

So I'd like some examples of my "real or perceived enforcement of ideological correctness in any modern or historical contexts", not that I was asking you for your opinion on the matter.

Please be sure to offer some possible explanatory outcomes of your question. Can you do that?

How and why might I be able to stop you "posting your opinion as to the motivation of (my) question"?

:confused:

Fuck off, I'm Sparticus!

For some weird reason this animal I've never heard of before, an Alpaca, came up when I google image searched Sparticus.

Apparantly it's one of two domesticated breeds of South American camel-like ungulates, derived from the wild guanaco. It resembles a sheep in appearance, but is larger in size, and has a long erect neck.

No, you explain your problem with my (prior) simple question:

"I'm a mate of the person that the question is directed to. You can't stop me suggesting courses of action to him. Or can you?"

It's a yes or no - i look forward to your answer.

It's so sweet that you feel the need to look out for your chum because you clearly think he's incapable of noticing the "rather large and transparent hole" that you think you've detected. How moving!

But seeing as I wasn't asking you the question, I'm not particularly interested in your "interpretation" of my words, thanks.

But I would advise that debate generally works better when the person actually asked the question gets to answer it first, rather then puppy-dog pals leaping in with their unasked-for 'advice'.
 
So, no answer, as expected.

You'll note that my question did not concern the content of yours, but simply if i could comment on it. You've chosen not to answer that direct question.

You can comment on whatever you like, but it it would become awfully tiresome if every time I asked a question to one of your pals you insisted on jumping in first, uninvited, to "advise" them as to how they should answer.

How about butting out and letting them answer the question asked of them?
 
It would also be perfectly tiresome of you to carefully construct a number of obvious traps then keep on doing it over and over in place of debate. I'm free to comment when i think this occours though. (See above)

"you two do too"

That's got a certain ring to it - not unlike Scooby-Doo - reportedly inspired by Frank Sinatra's improvised vocals on Strangers in The Night, who sang: "Dooby dooby do - be dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby do."
