Me and you walk down the street - I walk upto a black person and call him a "filthy, dumb, banana eaing niggerr" - we remonstrate and end up in punch up.

You walk upto a Downs Syndrome child in a wheelchair and call him a "stupid, waste of space, useless spastic" - he stares up at you and smiles because he has the mind of a 5 yr old and has little concept of what youre saying.

But yet according to you im far worse....? Tell you what mate feck you and youre mother and while were about it how is that gook you were no doubt fecking up the arse in Thailand eh??? Presumably youre not offended by that last comment at all.........

You've got issues ... I suggest staying off the internet.

Not remotely - just illustrating the shocking double standards on here.

I work with young disadvantaged kids - some of them have only recently begun walking, some cant even remember there own name, some have so little joy in there lives becasue they have spent their entire lives in care having been rejected by their parents - but once in a while they get out on the pitch and have a wonderful time....... to see people using the term "spastics" in such a carefree manner - especially when you have no idea of how these people live - is cowardice in its worst possible form.
 
You have good intentions, but you're seriously fecked in the way you go about expressing yourself. I suggest again that you stay off the internet if offended.

granted, but its life... you cant change the world and sure as hell cant change the cafe (and all the numpties that reside within). I suggest you stop spouting racial abuse as my opinion of you has fallen like enron shares and your not helping your argument.

Well if i have caused offence Im very happy - because now you know how it feels.

MOD 1 - "Oh no we must stamp out racism - we cant offend people, after all some our members are minorities"

MOD 2 - "But how about the frequent abusive terminlogy rearding the handicapped?"

MOD 1 - "Naaah dont worry them, how many handicapped people go onto foums eh?? After all out of sight, out of mind right??"

Exactly my point...... Dont like it do you? Makes you feel uncomfortable and angry doesnt it? Feels like youre being discriminated against?

At least youre here to stand up for yourself and be counted.......... free to insult and defend insulting those that cant........ what a spineless hypocrite you are.

There are lots of phrases and words in modern language usage that have ill-intentioned sources, for most part the user isn't deliberately making a hateful or offensive reference. I would think the intention or the context in which the word is being used is more important that the word itself.

Exactly, well said. I'm pretty sure that anyone who uses the word 'spastic' does not actually have an image of a disabled person in their mind at the time. The signification of the word has changed from it's original use. Yes it's become derrogatory, hence no more "spastic society" shops, but this more likely indicates than the term has become a general term of abuse. I seriously doubt anyone on here thinks 'spastic' when they see someone with cerebal palsy, and yet if they saw someone trip over a watermelon or post like Diarra then they probably would.

So are you "pretty sure" that if somone calls someone a "rag head" or "paki" or "gook" or "nigger" - that their been taken out of context too??
Talk to Asian people and see if they mind the terms "paki", "raghead", "terrorist" being used as long as their "pretty sure" that the person using them doesnt really mean them literally??? Im "pretty sure" Ill know where they'll tell you to stick it.....
 
INTENTION AND PERCEPTION

David: “Oh, man, that is so gay.”
Maria: “Wait a minute — I can’t believe you said that.”
David: “Why, what’s wrong with that?”
Maria: “It’s homophobic, that’s what.”
David: “Oh, please; don’t go all PC on me.”
Maria: “Well, don’t go ignorant redneck on me.”
David: “Oh, so if I don’t agree with your liberal rhetoric, I’m a redneck?”
Maria: “Well, duh! It’s so obvious — are you insecure in your sexuality or something?”
David: “Oh, come on! It doesn’t mean that — it just means lame. Everybody knows that.”
Maria: “Now you’re being ableist.”
David: “Good grief! What are you — some kind of FemiNazi? You’re like the PC police!”
Maria: “And you are such a retard.”
David: “Yeah, well, who’s being ‘ableist’ now?”
Maria: “Oh, stop it. You know, I am really amazed at your homophobia.”
David: “Look, I’m not homophobic. I knew this guy Paul, and he was totally gay, and he was a really nice guy. I didn’t hold anything against him.”
Maria: “How nice of you to forgive him.”
David: “You’re just being too sensitive. Don’t I have a right to my opinion?”
Maria: “Not when it oppresses other people.”
David: “That’s reverse discrimination. You’re oppressing me right now.”
Maria: “Oh, please; that’s not what ‘oppression’ means.”
David: “Look, I didn’t mean anything by it. Can’t you take a joke?”
Maria: “Dork.”
David: “Radical.”
Maria: “OK, let’s just forget it . . . What were we talking about before all this came up?”
David: “I don’t know. Something about our assignment for Women’s History Month.”

PS: copy and paste job...

Your not exactly getting the point people are making here. The word spastic is used to point out someone who is being a bit thick, like you for example. It is in no way meant as a slight against the disabled, just pointing out that you are a bit of a twat.
 
So the word spastic is banned. I guess therefore we would also have to ban the use of Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime, retard, poof, etc, because they're all similar. I mean as we've seen the gay community have been very offended by Scholes :rolleyes:

Then of course we'll have to ban the word thick, because somebody who actually is completely thick might come onto the forum and be offended. Wouldn't want that would we.

Following that, point of view would be banned because if you disagree with somebody you might offend them, by suggesting they are wrong, like.

The line has to be drawn somewhere, and I think it's fine where it is. There's a lot worse than the caf. If you can't accept it, join a knitting forum or something.

Spot on
 
So it's settled then

I'm going to ban anyone that's ever used the word spastic

Bye bye internet
