again i find myself hovering over the ignore buttonand about to issue forth a stream of obscenities.
the inclusion of the guys with the the mental disabilities combined with the words mc fuckwitis is nothing short of bigotry, would you do the same thing replacing a black or asian guy for the chap who appears to have downs syndrome, after all there are still not overly bright sections of our community who consider them to be of a lower intelligence and only a couple of generations more advanced than our primate cousins.
thought not.
it really is time to confine this sort of bigoted imagery and thinking to the bin.
i along with a fair few other boarders really don't want to see it.
another wee thought while i'm here although it really doesn't apply to me, would this sort of image be considered safe for work, i would have thought it far more likely to offend a boss than an image showing a boob or similar.

hitler is more than worthy of mockingin my humble opinion.
a wee rendition of him as icon on a board such as this is hardly a sign of support for him or anything he stood for is it.
also, as an aside, my dads family are jewish, dear old mr hitler is directly responsible for quite a lot of his relations not reaching old age, or come to that their teens.

we've been here before if i recall.firstly why did i join, i rather enjoy 99% of the images and comments posted on here and rather enjoy joining in with the mockery of folk or situations deserving of mockery, i'm rather fond of silliness involving kittens and as tricky as it may be for you to grasp i hate petty political correctness. there are lots of other reasons too but i'm bored with this bit now.
what right do i have to tell any one one what can and can't be posted, exactly the same right
as anyone to post anything they want. the last time i checked this is an open forum on which to post images and to comment on images posted by others, please correct me if i'm wrong, i may have missed a memo.
i find images such as the one above offensive, as i do other images that are spitefully bigoted in their nature and as such, in common with the poster of such images, have the right to post a comment saying as much.
if you disagree with me and consider mocking folk with disabilities purely because they have disabilities and are different from the majority of 'normal' folk acceptable i suggest to hit your ignore gstq button now. i would also suggest kraykan does the same if my comments cause him any distress or even if he thinks i'm just an opinionated wanker. it's no loss.
this will have to do for now because it takes me an age to type these bloody replies at a word a minute and hopefully something joyous is happening further up the board.
ignore is your friend.

Whilst I respect your opinionI think you would be better off responding to this in a personal message to me, or if indeed it bothers you that much, a letter of concern to the moderators.
I have seen these boards awashed with plenty of images and or comments that are not to my taste either, however, I do not, and will not try to rally people up against the original poster.
Im sorry this bothered you, offence was not my intent, had I used the image of a stereotypical 'redneck' or 'greasy teenager' I would have no doubt offended someone else.

Individuals with Down syndrome tend to have a lower than average cognitive ability.
Which isn't quite the same as calling them all fuckwits is it, really?
