Do you wish to reinstate Wanyama1967/Finnybhoy?

* love that phrase

 

Next he’ll be burning effigies of Ed Sheeran in your front garden mate.

 

Fanta pants.

 

When a family member of yours has a suicide attempt to his name due to * like this it becomes a lot less funny.

Slagging someone for their hair colour is the mark of a *.

 

I come from a chronically gengy family and the * all slag me for no having any hair. Having a laugh and being able to rip the * and have it done back is the mark of a good *.

 

Cool, I’ll just tell my cousin that instead of ending up in hospital from a paracetamol overdose, he should have just had a laugh about it.

 

Cool, and I’ll petition the Government to put a stop to marriage cause my Uncle tried to kill himself after one.

You might be better off trying to help with his mental problems rather than internet campaigning to stop * ripping the pish out of each other.

 

Zero correlation. Marriage is a choice.

He’s had plenty of support, don’t worry. Calling it ripping the pish is a cop out, telling people to stop being brain dead * about something people are born with is a good thing. Change ‘ginger’ to ‘disabled’ or ‘darkie’ and it suddenly sounds different. Gingerism isn’t the same as racism or ableism and it’s not protected by law (same logic as those though), but there are plenty of stories of it ruining people’s lives, due to targeted harassment and bullying. If folk being driven to suicide attempts, having to move house, or being attacked due to abuse for having red hair, then it’s something worth speaking up about.

 

There’s zero correlation between marriage and people trying to kill themselves over bad marriages? That’s a new one.

Didn’t say he hasn’t, it’s the way to deal with it. Ripping the pish and bullying is two completely seperate things as well.

And since when is harassment not protected by law? Are you allowed to harass folk if they’re ginger under UK law?

 

There’s zero correlation between marriage and being abused for something you’re born with.

Aye they’re different but the socially acceptable ‘ripping the pish’ of gingers normalises the bullying.

It’s not protected by law as discrimination, despite it very clearly being that.

 

It’s still what caused it. And I think abuse is also illegal. Harassing somebody is illegal.

Bullying is normal. It happens in all walks of life. Doesn’t mean it’s right though.

Should I be protected lawfully for somebody calling me a baldy * btw? Or for the ginger tinge in my beard?

Nah, load of pish. * are allowed to slag each other. What they’re not allowed to do is abuse, harass and bully somebody to the brink of suicide. There’s a severe difference between that.

I’ve had friends ave severe issues over being too skinny, being too fat, being bald, being too tall, being too small...

If we start drawing up laws for all of these then we’re in trouble.

 

Right, so tell me why a hair colour should be a joke? What’s wrong with it?

 

Fat people, bald people, hairy people, speccy people, tall people, short people etc etc. get the pish ripped out them. Pretty sure most of this Forum will fall into one category. Do we need a law to stop you calling someone a speccy * after they have torn into your choice of haircut or footwear?

I sympathise with your cousin but that's bullying not just someone ripping him for his hair colour.

 

Absolutely nothing, which is why it’s funny to joke about. Just like * poking fun at me being bald or being small. I’ll never not agree that it should be illegal and discrimatory to rip the * about * like that.

Having a laugh is not the same as racism.

 

Minty, you need to lighten up mate. It was a bit of banter, I don’t even know for sure if he is ginger, It won’t really upset Eddie.
The same way my * hanging out my shorts comment or slagging my age or memory loss isn’t an issue to me.
Do you really believe he thought I was using small font to catch him out?

I do appreciate that some people Might be affected by things like this in a more sinister environment but * me this isn’t that kind of place, unless I’m reading things wrong.

Eddie if I have offended you I apologise.

 

My mate who has big feet gets called Sasquatch. Apparently I should be jailed for that.

 

Maybe you were just trying to further discriminate him for his poor eyesight.

 

Minty, just read the rest of your drivel.
You must take extra care of your bollox when you dismount the highest horse.

 

Dev, please.
