Beware the homosexual.

To the people who don't know me that well, this wasn't an attempt to stir up trouble.
It's just a video I came across and thought it was funny. Not because it's about homosexuals, but because of the seriousness of it in it's time, and how peoples outlook has (thankfully) changed.

I suppose if I had posted this first it would have been fine?

Kieran, please give me some credit for being able to recognise and appreciate irony when I see it - in fact I presume Hysteria posted the vid with that intent - but certain of the later comments are not intended to be ironic.
Let's have a ******* one next. Perhaps something about them stretching white women's fannies so they're useless to the rest of us. If we're careful to make it ironic, I'm sure we'll be all right.
It's only gays, we might as well give them a shoeing.

Probably much like Banny felt after the umpteen threads about Muslims in the last twelve months.
It's like being back in the school playgroud FFS! If you are not a white herterosexual male that can drink 10 pints a night and treat women like sex objects then you are somehow less of a person. Time the place grew up I think.
The other thing I find annoying about that video is the guy depicted in it is more of a paedophile than anything which of course reinforces another stereotype that many hard of thinking seem to get confused about ... that somehow being gay makes you a threat to children.

Like a crushed little flower that would feel the need to watch brokeback mountain with a large glass of wine while crying into a hankie?

I just thought that the people on here were intelligent enough to see it isn't a 'gay bashing' thread at all.
I have already explained that though.

The mods may have set a precedent by clamping down over this, but it does not make it right.
In fact I think it is quite cowardly.
It puts politeness over civility.
Honor-Culture over modernity.
Censorship over free speech.
What can and cannot now be discussed is measured by if a small clique moans about it or not, if they do not like what is being said. They see an assault on their ideas as an assault on their 'face', their 'honor', it is retrograde. Modernity demands self-criticism.

FWIW, I'm starting to think this will go full circle. Things will get a lot worse, for sure. Eventually, nobody will be able to say anything without fear of stepping on somebodies toes. In time it will wear thin and society will (hopefully) adopt the view that everyone is entitled an opinion and will only be held accountable if it can be proven they are actively attempting to cause distress.

So debate should be shutdown because someone takes offense at the subject even being mentioned?

PC moaners have alot to answer for when it comes to free speech.

i think quite a few of the people here would hate to work in my office, we drop all the PC nonsense at the door, everyone and everything is free game.
its like most things atm, cant do anything without someone feeling like they have had their nose put out of joint and then jumping on it
Like David Starkey making a comment, and getting jumped on for being a racist which i genuinely dont think he is.
hes now responded - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14601813
where i think hes hit the nail on the head
we can only hope everyone just realises what idiots they are being and just get on with each other rather than making everything into a huge problem
it just makes us as a nation and planet go backwards
as for the OP and the video, it is funny as **** how badly they portrayed homosexuals as some sort of monster who will take any young innocent lad heh
reminds me of the black and white sketchs from Harry and Paul

The very same people that wave the flag of Islamaphobia are now at it with thinly veiled (and predominantly inaccurate) accusations of homophobia. If their knowledge was commensurate with their bluster they'd be scarlet of cheek in recognition of the irony.

But that is just it isn't it. You know everyone in the office and you know no one bothers about it, but I'll bet you a tenner you wouldn't go to the local pub and repeat that banter with complete strangers.... that's the difference!
