Is this a personal attack on TH? In my opinion, if there is to be any moderating on this forum, this is the sort of shit that should be edited.
Thats your opinion.
My opinion on the other hand, needing a sign in your face (too the point of calling other posters names and making threats not to mention starting fights over it) in order to be able to understand whats offensive and whats not is the very same, NO, the EXACT same thing as the man who is suing the fast food chains for not putting up a sign. Look it up.
This is an actual case and in no way was it made up to take a pot shot at TraumaHound's weight. You saw it that way.
I forget sometimes that this board is made up of people from all walks of life and all are not aware of the rediculas things there are to find on our court dockets here in the states.
This is one example
He is suing them ( McDonnalds, Wendy's, Burger King and Jack In The Box ) because there was no sign telling him that a diet of hamburgers and French fries are fattening.
He is blaming the fast food industry for his weight gain. Even though it isn't even a substantual gain at that.
Even if he wins some money, would it be a victory?
NO DIFFERENCE WHAT SO EVER.
AND this is not offensive it is a comparison the same comparison as going into someones home and being rude.
Only in a legal sense more accurate. Trauma's example was threatening to sue Simon for not knowing what being offensive is. But if you think that is reasonable then by all means think so.
My 5-year-old nephew can understand this, no problem at all.
NOTE: no need to cuss about it either. OR improv.
