I haven't got anything interesting to say right now actually. And no, I haven't got spare time either. But if I don't type, soon I'll be knocking myself out silly with my bare hands out of increasing agitation and the infinitesimal patience I'm quick running out of. So I guess that puts this into codswallop - but that word has already been used as a title for another post - hence the title of this particular post.
So.

Now. If you've ever read Japanese manga comic books, you'll know that the above random inserts are usually used to identify swear and cusswords used by a particular character in the story.
To your question "why not use the actual words themselves?"
Well, the books are generally sensored once translated into my language (what with it being very popular and all with children) - especially if you buy them legally from the bookstore here. So they'd need to replace the actual words with said random symbols. Although I personally think it kills off all the fun out of reading it in its natural state.
Take Lasse Gjertsen for example.
His famous "Lasse Vs. Technology" videos on youtube, provides an exemplary portrait of the message I'm trying to convey. Do check it out if you haven't seen it already - it's hilarious and made my day.
I won't tell you the details of that video, but in vague terms: it's where we say 'FUCK IT' and blasts out all the anger into its proper place and time - with perhaps unwanted consequences which wouldn't be thinkable under the said place and time. Inconvenient yes, but at least all that shit has been vented out.
As to why I had to resort to using symbols to convey my message- I just don't think the words existing in the english language presently is adequate enough to depict my meaning.
I feel so much better now.

Re: your comment:
Thanks!! how did your debate on health care?
frustrating to say the least..lol. this is what the guy replied to me:
"A "civilized" society? Forgive me but I thought this was supposed to be a "free" society. Healthcare can be made through individual incentives. That is why people become become doctors. I expect the government to uphold my rights, not further rob me of my medical choices and money, and subjugate me to medical bureaucracies. And what is this "we" talk? "We" do not obviously agree on any collective natures. The only collective I agree with is association. I expect "we" as you and me to continue to remain free individuals participating in a free society. I dont expect the government to hand things over that are not in a state of nature. The right to life is the right to take care and handle your own life. The right to liberty is the right to manage your own freedoms and responsibilities and not expect the government to wipe your ass at others expense. And the pursuit to happiness not through a government handout.
The point of government is not "taxing the hell out of people" like you put it. Government is made as an institution to uphold individual rights. This isnt about socialism. This is about statism. Government is not supposed to provide for special interests with the illusion of universal benefit. At what expense? A free society is about having choice, holding the fruits of your labor, and not worry about government exploitation."

I don't think he's getting the point. He expects the government to uphold his rights, but looks like he doesn't understand the concept of said government itself. The fact that the government caters to the need of people by carrying out such actions as providing health care and whatnot, is like you said-because we can't do it ourselves, and it's a way of upholding our rights. And if we are taxed, isn't that a means for the government to function? I don't get how he'd expect the government to be able to do their job unless given the means to do it.
I'm pending my reply to him for now, but I fear it's going to end up futile anyway.
