Davkaus Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Swings and roundabouts really, isn't it. Trump wants to have a special database tracking every muslim in America, and a prominent supporter has tried to justify it by citing the shameful internment of japanese-americans as precedent. And some lefties tend to decry bigotry a bit easy. Who's the real bastards, eh? Hard to say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are clearly mis-interpreting what I wrote to answer your "if". My claim is more akin to saying that mocking one person is the same as another, and wondering out loud about it as I think this is an interesting question, vis-a-vis society's equality discussions.

Brumerican Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) I'm currently watching a guy mock the disabled, purely for career purposes, right now on the telly. The crowd are actually applauding him too . I must say, it's great entertainment . Edit Forgot to embed the vid that would provide the context .

In response to my posting that there's a difference between mocking a disabled person and mocking a person's disability, you lead your reponse by questioning if it was really the people making a bid deal about it who are discriminating, presumably compared to the person mocking a person's disability. I'm not sure how else I could interpret your reply other than you thinking it's fine to mock a person's disability, and anyone objecting to mocking a disabled person is being discriminative.

Hadn't seen this, and yes, I agree - that was out of order in the extreme. As a president he should be more "presidential" However, Presumably all of the career comedians who mock people in a similar way, and those who make fun of Trump's appearance will be similarly chastised and hated? including the "very funny" comedian mentioned a few posts ago? No, oh thought not. Will go and sharpen my pitchfork immediately. Bad Donald! Edited November 17, 2016 by TheStagMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've been trying to explore is **us** treating the disabled person as different. My own personal rule is that it's ok to take the piss out of someone if it's something within their control. If someone is badly dressed, it's fair game. If someone is badly dressed because they're likely poor, not fair game. If someone dyes themselves orange and has hair like Shredded Wheat, it's fair game. If someone is disabled, it's not fair game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
