How was it bigoted?

nenevomito · 10/06/2011 18:03

YABU Satire is a form of emotional abuse only practiced by NPD people, and all right thinking people should unite against satire!

Besides, i never get it......

SS11

Your outrage is directed at the wrong op.

Omigawd · 10/06/2011 18:06

That was irony :o

BumWiper · 10/06/2011 18:07

so satire offends you,but sexism dosent.

BumWiper · 10/06/2011 18:10

Not just sexism but the implication that someone is a paedophile,even though there is no accusation,crime,proof,nothing.

STS11 - Sorry, but I have to laugh in the face of anyone who comes out with nasty comments about council houses on sink estates calling someone else a bigot.

Would it help if I spoke slowly?

BumWiper · 10/06/2011 18:28

The way things are,economy wise,anyone could end up in a council house.

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 10/06/2011 18:33

The way things are, economy wise and given the unprecedented demand for social housing, they're more likely to end up sleeping rough, BumWiper

Salmotrutta · 10/06/2011 18:35

StS11 - you are wrong.

Hope that Helps.

Its a terrible situation.I know many people that bought during the ''Celtic Tiger'',massive mortgages,that are now on the housing list and will be for the next 12 years as there are no social houses being built in my area.They never dreamt that this would happen but it can and does.We never know what can happen.I went from being in a great job,about to buy a house (I had a council house) to caring for a premature baby with SN full time and begging for an adapted house from the council.I'm not bitter about it but it taught me to never take things for granted.

Well, we have an explanation for the thread deletion here

Apparently it was because it was a thread about a thread Hmm

kaid100 · 10/06/2011 20:29

Maybe there should be a forum here specifically for satirical threads.

Avantia · 10/06/2011 20:58

A bit lame excuse for deletion I feel .

Salmotrutta · 11/06/2011 00:12

Been out and about tonight, so not been checking in - I'm non-plussed to say the least that Bumwiper's thread got deleted last night.
Which is why I started this thread............ I am astounded that there are people who don't understand satire??!!

Yeah Yeah, ....... threads about threads yada yada ..... BUT. ........
I am righteously indignant that Bum's SATIRE was deleted!
