My apologies

I wish to apologise to all, especially Wurley, for my bad language and my intolerance of the right of free speech. Subject to using the correct forum we should all be free to say whatever we believe. I have a particular sensitivity to jokes about handicapped children but I should have done as others before me and refrained from commenting. No Stan, I wasn't pissed but in mitigation I had suffered a particularly bad day. :blush:

You wer right man, in the first place, dont apologize, you were standing up for the under represented.
As Lumpy said (in another thread) aimed at me ''stick ur neck in'' you have laughed at similar jokes (not word for word, but I think you get the idea) ''agreed I have in the past'' but time has gone well on from them day's and as I have got older/wiser I have now realized it wasn't funny at all, in any shape or form (sad blush) yip I'm not with out guilt.

Incase some people haven't noticed the trend nowdays is to break down the barriers (physical, mental,& racial) and let live.

It would be good to hear from someone whom these jokes hit closer to home (I could be wrong?) I;e guests?

ps: I might be at an advantage here, as I do work with, and provide a service for people with disabilities.

Free speech Silverone

Wurley is as entitled to his opinion as I am to mine.... I don't like it and don't agree with him but I should defend etc... I let myself down by using bad language instead of, if I had to comment, reasoned discussion.

I have an older brother who is mentally handicapped he suffers amongst other things with cerebral palsy, a defective heart, a hole in his diaphragm, gout. in the past I can never remember him being sad but over recent months I have hardly seen him smile.
when we were kids I got into probably two or three fights a week because people were taking the piss out of Colin, my mother made me take up boxing to control my aggression she also pointed out how no matter how much people laughed at Colin it didn't affect him he just carried on smiling and being everyones friend.
he has spent long periods in hospital three times this year and we now find the NHS are the ones taking the piss so now I find I am having to fight for him again.
As silverone says there were times when we found humour in certain sick jokes, but recent events have given me a major kick up the arse, and proved that Mother doesn't always know best and perhaps if I had carried on defending colin against the piss takers then people would be more educated and not so ready to riducule the handicapped.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear even by kicking the shit out of it.

I agree Bill, but the fact remains I gave up defending my brother as I wrongly believed it didn't matter, I don't normally believe in regretting things in life as we make choices and have to live with those choices, but if I could turn the clock back, I would make sure that I carried on defending Colin.

Centaur, Derek, Silverone et all, I did not post the jokes with the intention to cause offence. Having been mildly reprimanded & slapped c7u8 , I will, as advised post any further material that might cause understandable upset to the correct forum. I just didn't realise that was where they should have gone.

Now if I might close off this episode with one final statement.......................














can we now get on with piss taking & ripping the shit out of one another.

Jokes are always made at the expense of someone else - so who is going to say what's an acceptble target and what's not? Taking the piss out of poofs is alright apparently, since no one has reacted to the numerous gay-piss taking posts, of muslims or pakistaneses - or french - too, but no blacks, jews or spastics or mongs should be targets of jokes? Because of which reason exactly? Because you're close/part of one of those particular groups? Yeah right... Fuck that, you go Wurley :yo:

no lumpy but!!!!!


In response to the recent terror attacks in Spain, the French government have raised their terror alert status from ?Run? to ?Hide?.

If attacks continue on the continent they may be forced to further increase the alert to ?Surrender?, or even as high as ?Collaborate?.
