We want more emoticons!

Great... They are a little confusing.

Are we seriously that emotional?

Oh well. They are pretty awesome.

Don't worry about that billl. We all have the right to express ourselves with our own lexicon. Even after others have reached the same conclusions with their own.

I'm sure I am :)

So many possibilities. Although they will be so hard to remember, you'd have to go in and click them each time.

Well... that's one of the smiley realm's drawbacks. We need good memory to recall about each one, and they can be quite many http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/jus...C_thinking.gif

Oooooh...I see http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/min...eanglasses.gif

:thumbs_up

Can someone please add this to the collection? http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/66.gif

I'll be needing to use that very often. :p

Good choices, Nik and Heath http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_rockin.gif

Yes. Of course.

How do they add them anyway?

Nobody on the Forum nor the smiley in question means to condone animal beating; what is more, in my very humble non-moderator opinion, to look at it in that way is rather superficial and somewhat dramatic.

The saying "beating/flogging a dead horse" means that "a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flogging_a_dead_horse

So, it does not advocate a perverse and cruel liking for having dead animals beaten; on the contrary, it emphasises the futility of such an effort. Similarly, the smiley is also used for this very purpose: sometimes the same discussions/arguments are repeated one too many times on the internet and only the expression "beating up a dead horse" defines their futility.

Truth be told, I know I will be using that particular a lot here on the Forum as, being an internet user for 15 years and a member of this Forum for almost 6 years, I feel like I have seen and heard it all.

This manages to miss the point completely. We all know the expression and recognize it as intended by the emoticon. The point is that offering a visual depiction of it among others that are meant to be amusing is neither funny nor respectful of horses dead or alive.

Her explanation, in fact, addresses the issue directly by stating that to look at it in that way is rather superficial and somewhat dramatic. Perhaps you simply don't want to admit that she's absolutely correct: you're overreacting in this instance.

Can we have one for 'throwing out the baby with the bathwater'?

As the purpose of this thread was to get more emoticons, which has been achieved, it has served its purpose and is now closed.
