How is this relevant here....there are lots of silly threads in chat and games, how does that mean that nobody in this thread can find that tweet distasteful?

If the bones and skulls are so openly on show, I can’t see why a comment or joke about them is so taboo.
If they deserve respect then give them it and bury them in peace.:shrug:

These people were declared saints and it is a tradition, where possible or appropriate, to display relics of saints.
Sugar should know better, basically.

Well.. I'm not religious but it seems to me it's ok to Diss religion and religious history as long as it's not your religion being dissed?

Just pointing outcome double standards on here at times :shrug:

Not going to lie I bet a lot of people who visit that Museum have made a pass away joke/comment to a friend, whether it be tasteless or not. I think people are too easily offended now.

Explain how that is relevant to me or this thread?

Why are some people so intent on siding with their friends they're literally grasping at straws?

They're not supposed "Lord" broadcasting it to the public.

Nor have you provided an example that can be discussed as it's a non existent hypothetical.

there is no law against making a joke against a religious relic, certainly in the civilised world. Sugar made a joke .... A JOKE ... that's all

Are you gonna comment on the topic or keep making comments on members based on hypotheticals that exist nowhere but in your head?

I could just as easily have said you'd be saying the opposite if Corbyn mocked Sugar with a picture of Jewish skeletons at Auschwitz.

Not really, there are lots of different members, it doesn't naturally follow that the people in this debate then go into chat and games to chat about dead people so where's the double standard?

I thought it quite simple Marsh, some are up in arms about disrespecting the dead but are quite happy to make a game of it when it suits, I am not siding with friends it's my opinion,the tweet was wrong , it's just a bit much when people come over holier than thou when they play games about death.

Who makes the game?

You need to be specific?

Because throwing everyone into one basket doesn't work. I've never taken part in that game in my life so drop the ridiculous tangent and stick to the story provided in the OP, eh?

I didn't say ALL members,just some

Well discussing members is against the rules isn't it Kaz?

You're normally cheerleading Chuff on that front so let's not get into double standards, eh?

reece(: 02-08-2019 10:00 PM

Turning every thread to about the members is getting more tiring by the day, can you not have debate without making it personal?

Very unfair comment as Chuff is not on here much and we don't always agree,isn't she a member that you are discussing aswell, no need to bring her into everything , I agree with some people ,others I do not, that's not cheerleading, it's the way we all are .

I mean it’s not a non existent hypothetical - some people have a dark humour, I bet countless people have made a joke similar - doesn’t mean they’re bad people or should be crucified online. It might be a non existent hypothetical if you are sheltered and haven’t met lots of different people in the real world

I don’t agree with what he said and it is a bit tasteless, but I find it a little embarrassing for people to have such an OTT reaction to something that was a tasteless joke

...George Galloway wants the Pope to intervene...?..I’m not sure what type of intervention is hoped for...Kazanne mentioned the Death Thread, which isn’t relevant at all...and yet it is in that it shows how frivolous/flippancy etc can walk side by side with respect...sometimes something ‘inappropriate or unwise’ might pop into our head and off our tongue and I think that would probably apply to all of us...and if when it happened..if we were celebrity and if we tweeted it....ooops, how very awful...I feel that all of his insult was directed at the shadow cabinet and not the long dead Christian martyrs...

Kizzy 03-08-2019 05:59 AM

Divine intervention obv.... he needs a good old smiting :)

Go back and see my first post in here , I never jumped on YOU at all , if anything it was the other way round, stop thinking everything is about you, you responded by being rude , so I answered you in a likewise manner. Now lets just get back on topic shall we ? Ican see why Sugar doesn't like Corbyn,but he should have chosen a better way to express it, but some people do over react.

2s wasn't the only one to take exception to your comment, several people did 2s was just the first.
How do you express your dislike for someone for by insulting the people around them?...
