Frankie Boyle on Down Syndrome - horrific

[Lymond]

interesting blog post from a mother of a DS daughter who was blasted by a 5-10 minute diatribe containing all the old stereotypes about people with DS at a Frakie Boyle show. I'm turning off any TV show he's on in future.

Grauniad article on it here

Riven, I have lost count of the times I have been called a racist homophobic wanker...I never report the posts because I believe in freedom of speech, and if someone thinks that they are entitled to their opinion, I am called thick, uneducted, vile, a nazi, probably a lesbian in denial, the worst catholic ever to walk the earth, comments on my parenting skills, I could go on for hours...I never report a single post.

I have only ever reported 2 posts in the 2.5 yrs I have been here...feel free to check with MNHQ for confirmation on that.

you have a voice DP, it is up to you if you use it to defend your self, but you have the choice.
a lot of disabled people don't have that choice.......
why do you think me and Riven get so angry, because we have to be our childrens voices.

No, it doesn't make me feel good, & I try not to lose it on here...but being human I fail sometimes, I hate having posts deleted, I know I have fallen into a trap, and I get annoyed with myself more than with the person I have been talking to, iykwim..

Just seen how long this thread has been going.....nearly a week.!

O.M.G how sad are we....lolololo

But you *are racist and homophobic, so its not like anyone is being nasty really is it?

Well, if you're going to use that argument disabled people are disabled aren't they..?

yeah, but theres nothing intrinsically wrong about being disabled.
Being disabled doesn't, for example, make you a twat. Whereas being racist and homophobic really does.
Disabled people deserve our protection, whereas being a racist homophobe means you deserve nothing but the verbal kicking you get.

You can see where I'm going there.

RB; I know when you hit me you hit me hard.....

..But I'm sorry, disabled people can be idiots too, just because you're in a wheelchair doesn't mean you're Mother Teresa... I'm sure a few disabled people vote BNP...infact I'm certain of it

I said being disabled doesn't make you a twat, I didn't comment on the fact that it doesn't exclude you from being a twat.

You could even be a disabled twattish racist homophobe.

The difference is that being a BNP voter automatically makes you a twat.

No it doesn't....I am living proof of that.

Plus I doubt you have meet every single BNP voter (there are millions of them)....you are making sweeping uneducated generalisations.

daftpunk, you really are the limit, loosing an argument so start talking shite....
this thread wasn't about you but as usual you have to make it about you. do you get so little attention in rl?
I notice you ignored my post about voice's.......probally beyond you to understand that.
runnybottom bad name good point

Losing what argument..?

I've lost nothing.

The descriptions of DP are fact based observation based on info dp herself has given us.What FB did was ridicule.He mimicked the way children with DS speak iirc which was low and unforgiveable.

lololol...you are quite possibly correct

BNP voter = twat. In much the same way that 2+2 = 4.
Its an undeniable fact.

Are there millions of BNP voters? Wouldn't they be less on the radical fringe if that were true? Proof please. Even if thats true, that just means there are millions of twats.

Not a huge surprise.

OK, millions was an exaggeration, but certainly thousands, and you haven't met them all have you..?

People have turned to the BNP for various reasons, mainly immigration, but also as a protest vote. The poorer white working classes have been totally ignored by Labour (Labour have even admitted it) they're sick of their areas being swamped with immigrants who are taking their school places/council houses/NHS resorces etc. Until the BNP came along the immigration issue was completely ignored, now it's a main issue for all major parties, and so it should be. I don't want to sit and watch my country being taken over by Muslims, no more immigrants should be allowed in, and anyone here illegally should be kicked out. I want to stop the Islamification of the UK...this is a Christian country.

Nick Griffin has a real chance of winning Barking & Dagenham, he is getting my full backing and support.

And I am highly intelligent.

article in today's guardian thought worth a link

Highly intelligent? Do you read your own posts?

There are plenty of intelligent twats. You're not one of them though.

Nothing funny about taking the piss out of SN children. That's very offensive and I don't even have an SN child. The guy sounds like a prick

Thick ignorant twats are allowed to vote..if they weren't, Labour wouldn't have been in power for 13 yrs.
