You could have worded it a bit better Puma, but i have found that you dont think before you type in many cases

Are you that deeply offended by him being happy that the retarded press coverage will hopefully calm down a bit?

They've only actually said they've found two bodies, they haven't said who they've found. Or is it just generally assumed to be the two girls? :(

The one where I called you a fat cunt? I have thought before typing that. I always do (99%). Dont hide yourself from the reality.

2 bodies found 11 miles from where 2 young girls were abducted 2 weeks ago, it's fairly likely it's them

hmmmz

i tend to agree with puma, scooba et al here... all this press coverage has done nothing at all to help, it's just media frenzy bollocks, and frankly i am offended by all the press coverage - especially all this bullshit about the internet.. i don't know about you, but in my house we get three newspapers, and day after day, all three of them are full of that trash about "kids meeting paedo's in chatrooms". as i said, arse. think u need to calm down a bit there SG, puma wasn't in the least bit offensive in what he said compared to some things that crop up on here.

//edit - don't mistake this for me not giving a shit about the two girls - i do - but there's not anything you or i can do for them or their family [unless of course you know what happened to them??] - so basically i don't want to read hundreds of pages a week on them - it's just the same stuff repeated over and over.

Ive not come across anybody who has said what he has said. I dont get offended often but he went way off the scale with the Remark there. Not even the guys who do cause "offense" havent stooped to that level

I think pumas problem is he needs to either grow up or learn to use some tact in his posts.

As I mentioned earlier it will be nice to have the continual coverage off of our screens now, but at least I can employ a modicum of aforementioned tact in stating it.

They have.

Thank god its over! No more press conferences and working class people saying:'We are devastated blah blah blah'.

that is incredibly offensive?

i think NOT. you want offensive? there's Bodhi, with his AIDS ranting, like someone should suffer THAT?

news flash! there's a lot of psychopaths about, people get killed every day, i imagine most of them in a lot worse method - i don't hear your cries of empathy for them?

how many hundreds of them die without anyone ever giving a shit? do you for example donate food to starving children in africa? i fucking DOUBT it. your moral high ground is about 1mm high.

Deleted my post cos I hadn't read the earlier bit of what puma said. Granted, tactless, and probably aiming to offend but I'm with him on the media thing, they don't give a fuck about the kids they just like having good newsworthy stuff that'll get lots of viewers.

If someone was to be as socially insensitive about them I'd say the same thing there too.

It's the same as stating about those same dying children: "Who gives a shite about them? They're worthless and a waste of space. They don't deserve to live anyway. Skinny dying cunts"

See my point?

And when I was working I was donating hundreds of quid per year to charities.

:p

Freedom of Expression versus Common decency

I too am ashamed of the media feeding frenzy following this story. It is all too clear that the british press exploit situations like this for their own ends. Tragedy sells and is good for busines for these creeps.

However, I too found Puma offensive. I know where he was coming from and understand his sentiment at heart, but there was something about the way he said it that irritated me. Such a casual dismissal. I too am irritated by the presentation of this case, but the actual case itself is tragic and cant be dismissed so brutally. I would also like to point out that whilst I respect "your right" to express your opinion, you're doing it a forum that has rules. Part of those rules state:
BarrysWorld makes the final determination about whether Content is objectionable or not. This determination is in our sole discretion, and is final.

Again, I dont want to stifle the forums, there should always be a slightly anarchic feel to such a medium I believe, or people who want to use forums wouldnt use this one. But I think a little more respect of other people feelings wouldnt go amiss sometimes in here.
Freedom of expression is all very well, but everything has a limit.
Please, consider other peoples feelings a little more when posting, or we'll have to delete the posts, and/or ban the posters.
No, I'm not doing that in this case.

/me fears the reaction of forum regulars will mirror that of angry mothers

"WE NEED GENERAL FORUM MODERATORS OR SICK FUCKS LIKE THAT CAN SAY HORRID THINGS!" etc.

Of course angry mothers wouldn't phrase it exactly like that.. :/

Nah we dont need a General Forum moderator, if such a problem occurs like what Puma said, Report it to a Moderator ,and let them take it from there.

Also, Wolf, what Puma said was out of order, and considering his Post has been Deleted i wont repeat but it had nothing to do with the Kids where "discussing" now

Ted, i'm familiar with your Terms&Conditions and as you said everything has a limit, which is why I do not object to certain posts of mine being deleted. What I did isnt really a bannable offence tho, considering that even the swear words like cock shit cunt fuck bollocks etc arent blanked out by default.

Have a good day.

You really don't have the brains to figure this one out, reducing it to simplistic terms like that?

Let me try to put this in laymens terms for you:

Swear words, like shit fuck cunt piss bastard etc are generally accepted here (and therefore not asterixed out) because we're mainly adults who don't find that sort of thing terribly offensive. It's a part of everyday vernacular for most of us.

Complete insensitivity on the other hand is offensive, and until the day where you've matured enough to grasp the reasoning behind other peoples distaste at your earlier post then there's little point in trying to explain it to you.

It's like trying to explain irony to a 4yr old.


Edit: Distate? Ruddy typos.
