Ok, can you explain why you think it is more accepted to call someone a "spastic" or "mong" than calling someone a racist name? I'm really interested to learn the difference. I'm all for a bit of banter & if someone was to call me fat, ugly etc, that's fine. I am. But that gif, of a disabled child, is truly appalling. Worse than a tranny with an erection. Why not "black up" the face of the child to earn maximum shock points? This may not be the thread for that discussion, but with the amount of cunting off on the thread already, it seemed as good a place as any to raise the point. You're a clever person who has an answer for everything, on any chosen subject, on pretty much every thread. Surely you have a witty riposte.
Is this the first time you've posted to express your unhappiness at an offensive post? There's been thousands on here and I understand your reasons behind posting about this one. However, is it any more deserving of outrage than the other offensive posts on here?
I also find it interesting that he says it's okay to have a go at someone's weight. In other domains that might be regarded as fat shaming.
Fucking hell that isn't actually a thing is it

. When I was growing up words like "spastic" were thrown around like nobody's business. None of the kids knew what it meant. Most assumed it was just a label for stupid or anyone that used a wheelchair. Point is that I don't condone the use of words like that, but I can imagine people saying them without thinking and therefore without trying to be malicious or insensitive towards the social group that the word demeans. In other words, on a forum like this I think sometimes you just have to let it wash. If not, there's always the sin bin!You are a total knob. End of. I couldn't give a shit if you were fat, ginger, ugly, or stuck up your own fat legal arse. But justifying or comparing a gif of a disabled child with the moniker "my favourite animal is carrot" with you, or me, being fat, ginger, half bald with a tinge of ginge is pretty fucked up. Oh dear. I'd love to meet you boy.
Mate, calm down. Go to the tea thread and have a brew.
No mate. It's the first time that I looked at something & thought-"that's just as wrong as calling someone the "n" word. Or cunting someone off to win the Internet. If you want to try & justify pictures of disabled children to poke fun at someone you disagree with? Good for you
I'm about to have a whittards pomegranate and orange. Gonna but a little slice of orange and some honey in it as well.A fruit one at that.
He's a cunt. Thinks he rules the TFC world with dodgy legal pedantics. If half the shit he puts on here is half true, then he is one helluva high flyer. If he is, then how the fuck can he post over 10,000 times & hold a job down, & sleep, & have a normal life?. I somehow think that he talks a load of shit & because it's in flowery language, it means he wins. Let's see the substance
For all we know he's a homeless man that likes tottenham and internet cafes. (and fruit tea)
I don't particularly want to justify it. Just wondered if you were demanding justification fromNo mate.

for his post, would you be able to tell us why his was the only one you found offensive enough to call out? Could be said you are having a go at the poster, not the post. You agree with someone who thinks it's ok to make fun of disabled people & disagree with me if I say it's wrong. You can fuck right off too. It's bad to be racist but it's fine to call someone a spastic? Unbelievable.
