My my ladies (and the odd man - you are in there somewhere I'm sure!) you have all been very busy! Went away to do inconvenient parenting stuff and just had nearly 500 posts to catch up on - even spilling into a new thread! Rather amusing to read (possibly skimming slightly) through and note the tone changing from page to page as the mob posters migrate through!

As you were...

An 8 yr old used it in this house, dss friend, and because it was said in front of DS I felt I had to tackle it (using 'gay' as a bad term). I told them what being gay means, how many gay people have suffered abuse either at school, with family or in the adult world, I said that everytime they use a word like that they are disregarding the struggle gay people face.

I would never fit the 5 DCs into a KA, or much of their gear either. The 4x4 seats 7 or 8 so I give lifts to other people's DCs too. I don't think anyone should have to justify the kind of vehicle she drives though.

bupcakesandcunting · 07/02/2011 20:57

Oh sorry ambarth, I see what you were doing i.e pointing stuff out to me, silly sausage cunting Blush

WTF? I saw the mobility cars should be stickered and I thought it was a joke post. A sarky response to something else (was skim-reading. Oh dear.

To get this thread back on an even keel;

Angelina Jolie will look RIDICULOUS when she is 70 with those dinghy lips. Yes she will.

ambarth · 07/02/2011 20:57

No not you bupcakes, but you asked what people found upsetting.I think it was that one.

Alouiseg · 07/02/2011 20:58

I can't believe how badly this is ending, its like going to a great party and then a fight breaks up at the end and everyone goes home miserable.

Being a bigotted twat is often for life, not just for Christmas, or on an MN thread. No matter how "ironic"Hmm they may think they are being.

gordyslovesheep · 07/02/2011 20:59

but it's NOT gay people using is as a negative - and some black people using the N word didn;lt use it negatively they just used it - to defuse it

none gay people using gay as a negative term is homphobic - I totally take on board that language evolves and it is s teen word but I still challenge teens who use it

Struggling to see the fuss about this thread. It's called "Unpopular Opinions" not "My Word is Law, Suck It Up You Bastards."

ThePosieParker · 07/02/2011 20:59

chicken, if your child suffers in their life because of ADHD then for someone to tell you it's made up is fucking offensive. Some parents have to rearrange their whole lives to accommodate this condition and know their child's life is more challenging because of it.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 07/02/2011 20:59

Faaaaaaarking hell. This all got rather serious. Let's get back to naming supposedly hot men that are decidedly...meh.

Keanu Reeves is overrated. Fact.

And what does STOCKS mean? Is it like "simples"?

If so please stop it.

mathanxiety · 07/02/2011 21:00

I think people should err on the side of civility when it comes to terms like the G word or the N word.

ambarth · 07/02/2011 21:01

"Angelina Jolie will look RIDICULOUS when she is 70 with those dinghy lips. Yes she will."

The guys will still love her though, because lips like that give good head.

Pheebe · 07/02/2011 21:01

Damn, this thread has gone to cock just as I was gonna join in

gordyslovesheep · 07/02/2011 21:01

you are right - too serious - sorry

grown women who use baby talk - to adults (especially males) should be shot Grin

bupcakesandcunting · 07/02/2011 21:01

Ok, ok let's stop analysing the gay thing. It's BAD, m'kay? If you do it you're a DICK. The END.

Let's get back to being fun.

noddyholder · 07/02/2011 21:02

Am loving the moral high ground over on twitter though considering some of the posts there!Grin

ThePosieParker · 07/02/2011 21:02

It's not okay that my ds3 loves the Golly my Mother bought him for Christmas, it is racist and it makes me feel a little uncomfortable everytime I see it.

[have tried to hide it about 20 times)

gordyslovesheep · 07/02/2011 21:02

so if you can't have children you aren't a women - I'll let my sister know - or should that be my brother Shock

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 07/02/2011 21:02

All of Boyzone. Not one of them worth a second look

StarlightPrincess · 07/02/2011 21:03

Wearing makeup and a skirt does not make you a woman...being able to give birth does

So women who are infertile, cannot concieve and therefore give birth are not women?

I'll correct that for you. Women with a vagina and female reproductive organs are women. Whether you can produce a child or not is irrelevant to you being a woman.

I love Midsomer Murders and I loved Bergerac.
