I think the purpose of this thread was to defend something offensive, and thus we who are offended must defend ourselves offensively

"ugh" =

I think you all need to be more accepting.

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great Ugh-gian, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Universal Proclamation of Ughness. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of ugh smileys who had been seared in the flames of hatred and fear. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their hatred.​

But one hundred years later, the Ugh smiley still is not free to disgust. One hundred years later, the life of the ugh is still sadly crippled by the manacles of disgust and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of materialism in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Ugh smiley is still languished in the corners of virtual society and finds itself an exile in its own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.​

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the smiley codes and the Declaration of Smileys, they were signing a promissory note to which every Forumite was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all smileys, yes,ugly as well as beautiful ones, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of disgusting others." It is obvious today that smileyland has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of smileys are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, the forum has given the Ugh smileys a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient beauty"​

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient beauty in the great vaults of opportunity of this forum. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom to choose our smileys and the security of justice.​

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind the forums of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy for smileys everywhere. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of smiley justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of smiley injustice to the solid rock of smiley brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of the IntOrwebz children.​

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Ugh smiley's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. 2010 is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Ugh smiley needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in the forums until the ugh smiley is granted his virtualrights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.​

But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.​

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Ugh smiley community must not lead us to a distrust of all smileys, for many of our smiley brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. ​

We cannot walk alone.​

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.​

We cannot turn back.​

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as theugh smiley is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of judgemental brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the ugh smiley'sbasic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our smileys are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For the awesome smiley only." We cannot be satisfied as long as an ugh smiley in FFF cannot vote and an Ugh Smiley in Myspace believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹​

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of virtual brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to FFF, go back to Myspace, go back to Twitter, go back to Bebo, go back to Facebook, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. ​

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.​

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the online dream.​

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."​

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of FFF, the sons of former smileys and the sons of former will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood smiley.​

I have a dream that one day even the state of Myspace, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.​

I have a dream that all the smiley children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the appearance of our smileys but by the content of their character. ​

I have a dream today!​

I have a dream that one day, down in Facebook, with its vicious smileyists, with its Moderators having their lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Facebook little ugh smileys and gonk smileys will be able to join hands with little awesome smileys and gasp smileys as sisters and brothers.​

I have a dream today!​

I have a dream that one day every forum shall be exalted, and every chatroo shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Admins shall be revealed and all pixels shall see it together."2​

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the Forums with.​

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.​

And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:​

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. ​

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, ​

From every mountainside, let freedom ring! ​

And if this forum is to be a great nation, this must become true.​

And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of Facebook​

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of FFF​

Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Myspace​

Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Twitter​

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of Bebo​

But not only that:​

Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of wikipedia​

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of MSN​

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Hotmail​

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.​

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every forum and every site, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, Ugh smileys and Awesome smileys, gonk smileys gasp smileys, rage smileys and britt smileys, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:​

Free at last! Free at last!​

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!3​

While this is all rather beautiful and moving, the sad truth is that people don't respond to pleas for justice and civil liberties. If you really want them to bring Ugh back, you'll have to offer cake and/or cookies...

...

...

...and I suppose I'll supply the chocolate chips

I'm not about to "kiss it and make up" though

 

[Rorolina Frixell]

tl;dr

Summary of whatever Diar said?

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

That thing multiplied while I was gone. <_<

How can a smilie be so ugly? =0

 

[Donald Trump]

He said.
Oive raen owta pataytoes. Even though oi lives on en Irrrelind I caent caetch naiow feish.

 

[Rorolina Frixell]

Ah, thanks for the summary Hal, that saves me time.

Also, page 4 shits my browser up, I assume a lot of ugh smilies are posted?

Everyone should obviously put ugh in their signatures so we get it back

 

[Valvalis]

Perhaps sex appeal would work

 

[Captain Squee]

*goes to put it in sig*

 

[AddleBoy]

I think the purpose of this thread was to defend something offensive, and thus we who are offended must defend ourselves offensively

"ugh" =

The ugh smilie is not offensive! That's like saying that ugly people should be removed from existence just because they're ugly. D=

 

[Rorolina Frixell]

Hot pics are hot tbqh.

 

[Abstract Debauchery]

Ugh is smexy.

 

[Valvalis]

The ugh smilie is not offensive! That's like saying that ugly people should be removed from existence just because they're ugly. D=

It's ok, my principles won out and I suppose I can deal with it being here. And it is pretty damn smexy

...Of course, this also means that if we find a worse one it has to be granted the same immunities

 

[AddleBoy]

Like that'd ever happen.

 

[Valvalis]

We could mate him with this:

 

[Aselia]

We could mate him with this:

what the shit is that?
