Causing Offence

[Cobra]

I see some dab has been charged for making a joke on Twitter about the Ibrox disaster. Absolute madness if you ask me. How come Frankie Boyle doesn't get lifted for telling jokes about Princess Di and Madeleine McCann?

I think since the rise of the Internet and specially with Social media, people are getting too PC and easily offended by what others say.

Life with Internet: You're so ugly! OMG I'm gonna go kill ma self and post it on facebook!!

Life Without Internet: You're so ugly! *hiedbutt* Aye...so are you.. now get oot ma way! 

To lose ones job over a tweet (unless it's about killing someone etc at your work or calling the boss out) is scandalous and in my opinion goes against free speech (unless it is libellous or could be considered a terrorist incident) .

It happened in 1961 for gods sake, it's part of history and that's about where it should stay!

YEah, but occasionally the web throws up some wonderful pieces of irony...

(Still... "You might like this...."? Yes... we do!)

Yes you can, just use the small 'image' icon and paste the url into that and your image should come up. Unless you are trying to pull an image off your hard drive, then you can upload it into your own' media' and then paste it.

Yeah... I tried that,  but it could be this machine that is causing the problems... hit the button and nothing happened at all!

Difficult topic for a forum, lots of views. I live in Spain, and you don't see as much of this as reading the UK papers. I don't think its a good thing personally, a bit PCs gone mad for me. Spain has its problems with racial incidents, but it's also right to point out that spain takes in 5 times more immigrants than the UK does. Society here is much more accepting, but during any sort of unemployment crisis its easy for the media to whip up the " its all the immigrants fault." Just my take on it though, doesn't make it right
