Smut

"Smut" is the passive voice of the verb "to smite". I see my karma is now well in the negative range, although nowhere near Billy's impressive total. Is there some way of viewing the various karma rankings in a summary page?

There is an "Extreme Karma MOD", which makes the highest and lowest karma members get mentioned in the who's online box. I think there also may be another MOD that makes the karma points appear in the member list.

I have de-smutted you 2 points.

Is that my birthday present?

No that was for creating a thread with a title that is bound to get a lot of hits. Is it your birthday?

SMUTS
Smuts, Field-Marshal, Jan Christian. (1870-1950). Jan Christian Smuts was born 24 May 1870, on the farm Ongegund near Riebeeck West in what is now South Africa. He was educated at Victoria College at Stellenbosch and studied law at Cambridge. He returned to South Africa after his studies at Cambridge in 1895. As a result of the Jameson Raid against the Transvaal (29 December - 2 January 1895-6, certainly one of the initiating events of the Boer War), his political leanings turned from endorsement of Cecil RhodesтАЩ dream of a British Africa to support of President Paulus Kruger and the South African Republic. In June 1898, Smuts was appointed State Attorney for the South African Republic.

God this is boring! - sorry but my 'delete' button has deleted itself.

Is it your birthday?
I thought that was a field on the old Sawatdee profile - but it's not on this one. Yes, a very quiet celebration (as I don't have many friends :roll: ) was held @Richards yesterday evening (but still today - just) in the US

China Shuts 598 Sites for Online Smut Fri Dec 30,12:43 PM ET



BEIJING - Chinese police have closed 598 Web sites in a crackdown on pornography, but online gambling and fraud are growing, state media said Friday.

The latest crackdown, launched in March, led to 25 arrests, the China Daily Newspaper said, citing figures from the Ministry of Public Security. That figure was low compared with more than 500 people arrested in a nationwide crackdown last year.

China has the world's second-largest population of Internet users after the United States, with more than 100 million people online.

The communist government encourages Internet use for education and business but has launched repeated campaigns to stamp out material deemed obscene or subversive.

In the heaviest reported sentence for online obscenity, a 20-year-old Web site operator in eastern China was jailed in 2004 for 15 years for selling downloads of sexually oriented movies.

So I think you have been smitten rather than smut. Anyway smitten sounds like something warm and woolly to comfort you. And you can of course be smitten by love, although it may be that smut by love would be more appropriate for some!

I was smitten by the cutest, and most useless, mutt in the world tonight. A four-month-old miniature maltese about the size of a beer mug. He loved...such a slut!...and peed on everyone at the party.
His name is Chu Chu. (Doesn't that mean something smutty in German?) His human is Chinese and told us Chu Chu means, barbeque--I think @ $1,100 + $100 for shots--he was joking!
