Just found out a guy who works for me is being a git

[pengaleng]

Yo

Thing is, the guy's still housebound through recovering from a serious illness - And he's clearly a bit bored and also maybe a little bit bitter - Which is why he's engineered this shitstorm out of absolutely fuck all - However many pages of bullshit it's been brought into being by nothing more than a kind of twisted bloody mindedness caused by frustration born of ill health.

Mind you, I'd probably be a bit sour too if I wasn't well, so one can't really blame him. The scenario described above is what's happened though.

Seriously? You know fuck all about the situation. Everyone is on this poxy website out of boredom, so don't take cheap shots at some fucker being bored because you think they are ill.

Popcorn cheerios?

What in the Christ are those?!

I did actually pick up some own-brand Cheerios, but also nabbed a box of Grape Nuts after spying a box at my parents. Fucking Grape Nuts!

Wow, ever hear yourself and feel you should take up drinking or something?

Pingu should print this thread out and give it to the guy in question.

But you just said it was.

Make yer mind up.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

What caused the bitterness?

He used to be bathing with hot urban cuties; now he's wandering the fens in a raincoat.

You're making things up again....

Do we know if he reads English?

 

[Firky]

I'd bet my house on it, India has more graduates getting a degree each year than the population of the UK and after the US it has the highest number of English speakers. Nigeria and China probably eclipse the UK in numbers of English speakers. Sometimes you'll hear someone from Indian upper class society who has an immaculate English accent despite being born and educated in India. There was a documentary on channel 4 about it all a couple of years ago. Very interesting, we're along with US are shrinking violets. There's new kids on the block, who are highly educated, multilingual and loaded with ambition.

I doubt I'll be alive in 20 years let alone 50 but it will be a very different world to what it is now. I wonder if whitey will be on the back foot?

PM you canuck, I can't seem to PM you. Need to talk to you about a man with a dog


Been awake for over 24 hours now save for three hour snooze. Hate this insomnia.

Of course; the comment was an attempt at humor, based on the tenor of the thread.

Re: pms - others seem able to do it. It must be something to do with your own settings.

Is that Laurie Penny?

 

[Frances Lengel]

Why've you posted a picture of your birth? Which followed that most memorable of occasions when your father, somewhat worse for wear after an evening spent getting high from smoking his own helmet flakes, inserted a pickled egg up a dogs backside, force fed it barley wine, then deposited his load deep in it's slack and yielding rectum?

Can we just keep bestiality posts in the philosophy forum please

I believe this was the first bit of advice Ann Widdecombe gave during her stint as an agony aunt.

 

[Orang Utan]

Two questions and a clarification.
What are overheads?
What is a Canucking?

friedaweed I am not grumpy. <see what i did?
I am fucking hilar.
You just don't get my sense of humour!
I nearly always post with a grin and a cackle. So if I am disagreeing with you about the correct condiment to put on chips or how Americans define bacon, please bear this in mind. <-

Sorry, I cross-posted with you firky. Can't help myself.


He's not fucking bullying you, ffs. He clearly wrote that post before he'd seen that you decided to edit and flounce or he wouldn't have been able to quote it. He's also said nothing unreasonable AFAICS. The dehumanising effect of "the blacks", "the gays", "the Jews" has been discussed on plenty of recent threads. It's hardly a controversial point. People are nouns, not adjectives.

AFAICR she was referring to a person, not a people.

 

[ViolentPanda]

'The Indian' doesn't sound great, though if you wanted to be charitable there's always a difficulty when you have to refer to someone, don't know their name, only know one thing about them.

Quite. The context matters a lot.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Yes, I did. If we are going to throw words - in that instance misogynistic (aimed at GG because he thinks heels are horrible and women who can't wear them can't drive (?!) ) - around then I'll throw the same sort of rubbish back. I stand by that quote.

Just as GG isn't a misogynist, Man' isn't a racist. That is what is being said in my quote.

If you look at gentlegreen's posts on that thread alone, he doesn't come across entirely as a misogynist, but as someone with "issues" around women. However, taken with some of the other stuff he comes out with, I can understand why people might assume he was a misogynist if they didn't realise that what he actually is, is a misanthrope.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Just to add my take, gentlegreen's behaviour towards women in the last couple of days is incredibly upsetting and offensive (not just bad drivers, but women who ever wear heels are apparently poor at their jobs and should not, in his view, be employed) and while not misogynistic, is IMO, closer to that than "the Indian" was to racism. And what we have there in among the outrage, is a hell of a lot of jollying him along. Sadly calling someone a sexist doesn't seem to be much of an insult on urban - and I can understand the desire to cast around for a stronger word. Even if it's not the right one.

But then I had my own foul up of a very similar nature to "the Indian" this week (referring to "The elderly" and "the disabled" as groups with potential mobility needs). I was very clearly in the wrong, but it was an absence of consideration, rather than gg's prolonged and shameless bigotry.

Quite, and when you were corrected you took it in good part and asked for an explanation.

 

[Wilf]

As a fellow misanthrope I feel I should defend him and offer some solidarity and support. Oh, hang on...

What is a Canucking?

I think VP is indulging in a bit of Canucking right now, if I've understood it correctly
