to think that all nurseries are stuffed and bulging with rampant paedophiles and murderers?

[Hullygully]

Or not?

Pixie - you are scum. You have always been scum, and you will always be scum. OK?

Eleanor you utter utter piss-stained shit bucket

< worried that being a nematode has just degenerated into using abusive language with no wit or intelligence >

Oh. It's you

Lenin, welcome! You are not my nemesis

But Back I am not sure it works as a parrallel as it is too obtuse

I guess a better one for me would be the racist women on Little Britain. The joke does not make racism funny. What it does is mock the women who have such a deep seated , unchallenged fear of different ethnicity thatthey vomit.
I can't stand to see people yak but it is reagrded as a joke and not racist.

I think there are people who are so ridiculous about 'child protection' that it is open to mockery because there is a sanctimoneous edge to it as if they care more about children because they would never laugh at anything even associated with abuse

It is not a betterattitude. It hampers openness

pag - go away! we had steered it on to irony and piss-stained shit buckets

Actually, don't go away. But quick! talk about something else!

I agree with you entirely, BTW

Pag is right in every way. Damn her and her humungous bush!

What an awful thread title for a parenting forum

oh god

Chickens is being mean to me
I want my mummy

Mumsnet is not just a parenting forum. There is a parenting section, where I agree that the thread title would have been hideously inappropriate.

pixie the last thing that boy needs is an audience

There are people on this thread that I have only ever seen post to complain about MN, or in defence of DP actually- most odd.
