Window Licking

[Flashheart]

If people are banding around words that originated as a term of a abuse for children with Down's syndrome without realizing it, and now they do will stop using it, fine by me.

The fact that people want to attack me for raising the issue says everything to me about the narrow minded fucking twats I have to share the planet with. Fuck you all you cunts.

Give it a rest you spaz

Fuck you all you cock juggling thundercunts

Blimey.  I don't think anyone attacked you, just debated how people understood the term.  I don't think the TEF is a good place for you to hang out.

Not actually an insult, all cocks are jizz cocks really. Be like calling him a piss kidney.

Ok then, I find it amusing that someone is so affronted by a fascist managing our club they won't attend games, will choose to use language that has been widely used to take the piss out of disabled children - he then wears odd socks to show his support for. But we're all hypocritical cunts to some degree or other.

I've never heard this phrase used to "take the piss out of disabled children". Similarly I've never heard the word mong used in this way.

This is because I've never actually heard anyone, other than other children that know no better, "take the piss out of disabled children". Grown-ups don't tend to do that sort of thing. They tend to just look the other way when they encounter the learning disabled, or over compensate and be incredibly patronising.

Presumably what you find offensive is people using phrases that imply that others have learning disabilities, when they presumably don't. Which poses the question of where you stop. Is moron acceptable? What about idiot or imbecile? All were words for those with mental handicaps / learning disabilities, but have been absorbed into the language as insults to be directed at people behaving stupidly. What about retard? Or is that still too recent?

Do you feel the same way about the use of language relating to mental illness? Are you going to get similarly outraged every time someone calls someone else a nutter, a loon, etc. ?

Could you post a list of acceptable insults and the contexts that are appropriate for their use for us all? Better be careful to research the etymology of them all though, because someone is bound to pull you up on anything dodgy.

And I'd be bloody careful with every post you make in the next couple of weeks as people will be waiting for you to slip up so that they can pounce and scream hypocrite at you.

Exactly what I would have said if I could be bothered and could express myself as well as you do.

He's already been slain for a previous avatar.  Welcome to the jungle.

i think it's a brilliantly understated insult and a great tune with a fucked up video

Agreed on all points.

[leefer]

if you start pointing out the hypocrisy of people on the internet, you'll find yourself very busy

Ban coming.
