I didn’t feel any urge at all. In fact I commented on your post first and foremost because I found it puzzling. By all means post something funny and I’ll smile or laugh, regardless of the side you’re batting for. Post something I don’t find funny and I usually won’t comment. Nothing more to it. But your post did give birth to a genuine reflection on political humour, and what is really expected of HMMLO.

Why is 'moron' considered acceptable I wonder, just the passage of time?
I didn't get the joke either btw

"Retarded" is a bit different to "hard of thinking". In fact it's a disgusting thing to call someone and use as an insult. And your defence of it is equally disgusting. It doesn't bother me that you called me names, I've been called far worse by much cleverer people, but the name you used is simply unacceptable in this day and age.
Honestly it says more about you than it does about me. I'm obviously not "retarded" or I wouldn't be writing on this forum and living the life I do. Everyone knows that. You just wanted to insult me because I didn't accept your rather poor interpretation of the English language.
Anyway, here's a link for you, I suggest you educate yourself about using certain language.

It's a 'humour' thread. People post things they find funny. Others might not. I suggest you fact check all the other posts in the thread as well. Actually it wasn't that "you didn't have the intelligence or motivation to check it", I found it amusing and didn't give a toss. Rather the same as your comments and insults.

I must be in the wrong thread. Thought it was the covid funnies thread for a moment. My mistake. Apologies, carry on.
There’s a reason there are so few right wing comedians...
And the Tory “humorous” memes posted above are just, well, extremely lame.
If they were genuinely funny, I’d be laughing (regardless of where on the political spectrum they come from). But they aren’t. So I’m not.
Wherever on the net they are coming from must be a place to behold.
ETA - it’s probably Jim Davison’s blog, or some other humour-free page.

The last 60 posts should (but won’t) make some people embarrassed at what they typed.
I’ll post something to try to get the thing back on track. Probably a forlorn hope.

You have a problem with calling out that, that’s your issue. Anyway I agree there will be some sore and hopefully embarrassed heads this morning, as you were.
Removed as had a rude word in it.

Just reading through this from the start of last night's jousting, and as it's a public area I recommend that posts #533 and #591 are edited.
F.T.F.A.
Is this the new Draft Thread? Or is it just a bunch of grown childish, men pettily bickering?
I used to enjoy this thread.
