Ok... I think we need more emoticons. We've been stuck with the same ones for such a long time.
So, sign this petition by writing in your name.
If the officials don't agree, I'm ready to begin a revolution! :p

This place is moving up. I was also a little bored with the old ones; these new ones look like a lot of fun. I will probably be using this one a lot :smilielol5: since I tend to get a little hysterical at times. :willy_nilly:
Yes you do :smilielol5:Quote:

Some even have been shut down. I would actually imagine some horse lovers, such as yourself, would definitely be offended by that one. When I first saw it, I thought 'what the heck is this one?' - then I saw the saying and it dawned on me. It really isn't funny; you are right about that. Literally speaking, beating dead horses would be horrid.Quote:

Welcome. I love them too. That's one of the reasons why I'll never use that emoticon (I have another which is a secret).Quote:

More than one :brow:Quote:

Nobody on the Forum - nor does 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.
