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

DP - At least stop pretending to be a Catholic please. It's deeply offensive.

oh so on this thread you are talking about, did I say it was funny to take the piss out of disabled people?

nh; You're right about TSH, she is deffo not BNP... she just believes in democracy and freedom of speech..

..She's intelligent, witty, and interesting...

Qualities you can only dream about..

Where are you living now..?

Has anyone else noticed that Daftpunk and TheShriekingHarpy always wade into these types of threads and back each other up - surely they are one in the same. You would think they would name change once in a while as it is sooooo obvious.

yawn .. yawn .... yawn....

TSH - And yet your moniker suits you terribly well I feel. Ah well.

A really well constructed argument though - apparently I'm not 'cementing my place in history as infalliable' by telling people to 'piss off' yet you're ok saying I'm 'wanking myself off'. Great argument, well done you! [slow hand clap]

Say what you like TSH, if you feel its 'sanctimonious' to hate racism / sexism / homophobia etc then great, I totally agree with you I'm sanctimonious.

Do you think it makes you 'right on' to support DP?? sorry but I'm having to stiffle laughter here.

Tell you what, you ignore me and I'll ignore you. Can't really ignore DP because the things she says are too disgusting not to respond to.

Ha ha...always knew I was in love with myself...

Ah, well yes, that's what I thought, laughing at jokes about disabled people isn't the same as 'poking fun' at disabled people. Phew!

I am intrigued, but only slightly, at what is meant by "homosexuals forcing their lifestyle on me" and what a homosexual lifestyle would entail exactly?

FGS DP take the hint and do as defluff says

Lenin - you and Riven are inspirational, please don't let this upset you. I'm actually going to take a week off mn from tomorrow because constant shit like this from DP is starting to upset me and letting myself get upset by a forum is silly. My pnd probably not helping Hopefully after a week I'll get some perspective.

LG I really hoped you wouldn't see this.BTW it is possible to discuss immigration sexuality disability etc without being insulting and crass.There are many people here and irl that I know have issues with all of these things but I have never heard it discussed in this way.Hence the troll suggestions.TSH you are way too smart to align yourself with this idiot I nderstand the right to free speech and opinion but do you really think DP is after a debate because she has proved over and over she isn't up for it or to it.She just likes to spit

LG - I also thought, oh no here we go again 'homosexuals foisting their lifestyle on me' (groan) Its boring and tedious....but others are right, why bother engaging with DP - s/he has shown over and over again that she doesn't listen and will just spew out the same poison again and again at the slighest opportunity.

Step back, take it easy and have a good weekend....

this is the posting style of dp as outlined on another post -

1. dp makes a hideously nasty comment re homosexuality / immigration etc

1. outpouring of nasty posts by dp

1. sudden change of attack, becomes concilliatory and apologises saying 'i just need educating', 'help me understand' 'its not my fault i'm a total and utter bigot'

1. reverts baack to incredibly offensive posting

1. repeat and repeat and repeat"

I take it dp is still on point 2 - just getting a kick out of putting down others. A total and utter bigot.

oi eatsushi, i copyrighted that!!

There is a step missing which doesn't always occur.Following the utter vile drivel some posters challenge DP further and try to find out why she is like this she then accuses them of being stalkers and fascinated with her.For someone who says she is complicated she is as transparent as they come!For a child of immigrants with a mixed race husband pink hair and a penchant for a smoke she is mighty prejudiced!

yes noddyholder she craves some sort of sick attention.

She's got a mixed race husband????! And she supports the BNP?? You can't be serious? So her children are also mixed race then?

If that's true I'm going to be sick I think.

I too do NOT laugh at disabled children but do admit to laughing at some disabled jokes and finding some of FB's jokes funny.

It has nothing to do with how well I bring up my kids - I don't teach them to laugh at disability or teach them any kind of prejudice.

2shoes - have you never laughed at anything that could offend someone else?
