Gay rights campaigner loses Footy Show case

[Danish]

fairly sure no one has made a complaint about us to the anti-discrimination board so your argument is moot.

So making derogatory comments is ok as long as no one speaks up about it?

Interesting

mate if you are offended by anything on Errol, please feel free to make a complaint to the anti-discrimination board. go for your life.

 

[Shorty]

Its comedy, Shorty. Get over it.

Sorry but I don't have to get over anything just because you think it's valid to do so.
I notice you avoided writing anything of substance in response to my post.

Oh I am not offended by it at all.


Simply pointing out your own hypocracy in wanting to take the moral high ground on this issue while at the same time don't see a problem with making offensive comments in your own blog.

There is nothing of substance to respond to.

Comedy is offensive. It has been forever. It will not, and should not change to suit your own personal sensibilities.

:lol:

you really dont get it do you?

why do i always get sucked into arguments on here? it's a completely pointless exercise.

u guys go on believing what you want. ignorance is bliss.

Why do you always believe you are correct?

I mean, a lot of the time you are correct, but the rest of the time you just cover your ears and pretend everyone else is ignorant. Just because you say something, doesn't make it the truth. And you can't tell people what they are thinking - because you really have no idea. You're guessing. Like everyone else.

Speak for yourself, let "them" speak for "themselves".

hypocracy?

i am not 'taking the moral high ground'. i simply point out that unless any of you are gay men, you cannot possibly know what it's like to feel discriminated against because of your sexuality. it's quite simple really.

Mate, I would be suing if someone called me an "absolute f'ing moron"....especially if it was a guy who has been to acting school for about 5 years and still manages to make Nicholas Cage look like Marlon Brando!

"Fire Up for Origin Babies!" is either taking the piss out of one of the recent league 'scandals' or is very naive.

Not that it's necessarily offensive - just unexpected.

You are Kiki are hypocrites of the highest order.

How many times in your blog have you made light of Jesus, alcoholism and various other things??

I found 3 examples within 60 seconds of searching.

Should your blog be shut down due to being offensive to christians, or the victims of binge drinking?

Or is it different when you do it?

yeah we make fun of heaps of stuff ... so does the footy show. I don't get your point?

all I said was that the fact that one person finds something funny doesn't mean it's not discriminatory. don't you agree?

Big f**kin deal that they feel discriminated against by a comedy sketch on TV. That is their problem to deal with, no one elses.

I'm greek, and I don't get all shirty whenever some comedy show makes a Mediterranean Descendant joke.

Not at all. Most people do. There's a difference between thinking your opinion is right, and pushing it on everyone else though.

Interesting response though.

I think if you ask the boys who ruin the show fire up you'll see that's EXACTLY why they named their show that.

how am i pushing it on everyone else? by.....posting my opinion? like EVERYONE ELSE on this forum.

3 points.
1. I'm yet to be proven wrong - on anything.
2. People - "hypocrisy". If you're gonna use big words, spell them properly.
3. There are many targetted groups subject to discrimination of various kind. But, I maintain that nothing is as offensively mindless, stupid, demeaning, worthless and pathetic as Manly supporters. For this group of losers, discrimination should be rewarded.

That's a fact.

fair enough if you think that, but considering the anti-discrimination board exists, there are obviously enough people out there who aren't just happy to suck it up.

 

[Parra]

They picked the best part of the message to use.

By claiming anyone who disagrees is ignorant/doesn't get it.

 

[maccattack]

Oh this will be good.
Ok...explain away please.

Put it like this. Do people really think that the footy show and the writters and participants in that skit think that a person has something wrong with them if they are gay?

I seriously doubt it. I remember the footy show was very supportive of Ian Roberts when he came out.

So what I'm saying is, the funny thing about that skit was - not that it laughed at gays - but that it laughed at people who discriminate against gays.

Did anyone here laugh because they thought it was a crack against gay people???

I didn't.
