Maybe we could get little franjipani sticker's with KSRC on them? ....That will keep everyone happy

In its original format, for those that do know, it is considered quite offensive, in some circles.
It wasn't that well known when it first came up on here, but its getting a bit of coverage lately...
Should we move on and remove it, or has it taken another life and we don't really think about it in its original format. ?
Keep in mind we do want to cater to both sexes on here and there could be those who think some of the things on here are inappropriate for an open forum...

Discuss... Sensibly.!

Didn't we have a thread or posts on Frangipani's and what they mean? http://www.ksrc-au.com/phpBB3/viewtopic ... ni#p488344

The kuda no longer holds its original meaning in this community. It started off with its origins being of an inappropriate nature, however when came along, the community adapted it as a symbol of KSRC and disregarded its true meaning. If you search through the history of the smiley, right off the bat it was considered to mean “F@#$ yeah”, and no one used it as its true “shocker” form.

I can understand if you are outside looking in, you might think “these retards glorify a demeaning hand gesture, they must be some sort of weird motorcycle club” and probably not join, of if they have joined, leave. But to be honest, do you want to associate with people who are so easily offended and have to be so politically correct not to offend every human alive? Taking into consideration the nature of most conversations that take place here (mainly from Seiko ) they would be offended by other things and probably complain about that.
Then we would have a poll to censor Seiko and then this place just wouldn’t be the same

was never created to offend or to be used as a degrading hand gesture to any of the sexes. In KRSC I think it has become a gesture of recognition. You give the kuda to a fellow KSRCian because you identify yourself as one and want to make it known. You put the stickers on your bike or your trailer, or where ever, because you want others to know that you belong to KSRC. In this circle, the Kuda has no other meaning but that.

In some cultures, chewing with your mouth open is considered rude and inappropriate, and in other cultures it signifies that the food you are eating is delicious. If you don’t chew with your mouth open, the chef will take offence to that and may no longer serve you. Each culture has its own meanings and interpretation of different things, the kuda is one of ours.

We have our own KRSC culture here, if you come into our culture that means you want to be part of it, not change it.

Hook me up bro.

Kuda is cool with me. I dont see the need to change things just for political correctness

Soon you will be stopping me from swearing and then approving the content of my posts

I just want to know when we jumped the fence and started to censor this forum? It has always been a place of open slather despite what the rules may state. This has worked well up until now ( well until last week anyways )

Alot of people getting to emotional lately.

Actually, you're wrong:

"If you think that this is an open forum and you can say whatever you like, think again, this forum is owned by MadKaw and operated by the 3 Admins, MadKaw, Dan and Jason and the moderators. We will be the ones who decide what is acceptable. If you don't like it, save us the time and leave on your own accord.!"

Stop the World...I wanna get off...

I'm with Seiko on this one....FFS

For mine..This hand gesture is open to ones interpretation....

If you see it as 2indapink1indastink then I"m guessing you have a filthy mind and it should not offend you anyway.

I see it as a very cool way of identifying other KSRC members when out and about.....
I do also know it as 2and1 but I have a filthy mind and am not offended..

It's ok for Snoop Dog,Eminem,P Diddy etc and all the other gang bangers making these ridiculous hand gestures...
Why is it an issue with the Kuda....I Spose if you were offendened by theirs they would just put a Cap In Yo Ass..

Next someone will tell me I can't give the peace sign cause someone may think I mean 1indapink1indastink..
FFS...
The Kuda stays...

An older lady at the pub we were staying at asked what the hand signal meant.

"it means kawasaki" he said.
............

geez...Gos was on the ball with that answer

'kuda belongs to KSRC
leave it alone

coz
what next...HTFU goes too?? (that will REALLY upset Hoffy)

I know it's only come up because of a "Free Thinking" Colliwobbles Player who I doubt meant any offense (to the "precious" people)
but I have had just about all I can take of this

I say leave it ..Most of us fuck it up when it counts anyway,ie photos or to another member..

and another thing......
Kuda was here two yr's ago when I arrived, so to me, it's like my missus complaining I drink to much!
I just say "well I was drinking this much when you met me, so don't start fucken complaining now"!!!!!!!

I think its offensive to show up somewhere and then ask the place to change so it can accommodate your sensitivity. EVERYONE CANCEL CHRISTMAS.... IM RELIGIOUS N SHIT!
Same crap.

If you were thinking of introducing the kuda, maybe we should discuss. But getting rid of something fun because "Oh my god! its SEXUAL"..... Palease!

Excuse me but what does offensive mean????
