If you think joking about murdering a disabled person is fine you are kind of a prick really, And defending holocaust denialists, wow you are a POC aren't you? And you realize my statement about North Korea was clearly hyperbole ..... Dodgy


Quote:In a 5-4 split decision, the top court ruled Friday that while comedian Mike Ward's act ridiculed Jérémy Gabriel, a young man with Treacher Collins Syndrome, he was chosen as a target not because of his disability but because of his fame.
Yeah, that's bullshit. He didn't joke about his fame he joked about drowning him because of his disability and other vile nonsense that essentially ruined the poor guy's life. Fuck the court and Fuck Jérémy Gabriel.

Careful. Jeremy Gabriel is the disabled man and you just said fuck him. I'm on my way to go report you to the human rights tribunal as we speak. You're done for, Helios. And if you have a problem with jokes about disabilities, I bet you hated South Park. Well, I grew up on that, and funny is funny, regardless of the subject matter.

Huge difference between making jokes about drowning disabled people and using a common reframe to curse out someone. So nice try. Yup south park made a lot of cringe and it's no surprise someone like you would find that funny.... Dodgy

There are consequences for what you say and do.

Don't ban speech. Just better incorporate the consequences.

I think IA was pointing out you were switching the names.

And, for the record, while I've been able to find some videos of the routine in question, all are in French, none are subtitled (I don't speak French), and, unless he's really supposed to be saying "Charlemagne died towards it's like a life style arrives limours a dream woodpecker", the auto-translate is of no help. Parts of it were translated in an article in McLean's, and it's like this:

Quote:Ward introduces Gabriel as “the kid with a subwoofer on his head”—in reference to his hearing aid. He describes defending Gabriel against people who criticized his singing. “I was like, ‘F–k! He’s living his dream! He’s dying and he’s living his dream. Let him live his dream! He’s been dreaming since he was little to sing off-key in front of the Pope.’ ”

He describes realizing Gabriel did not have a terminal illness. “I defended him, non-stop. But now it’s been five years and . . . f–k! He’s not dead yet!” Ward continues: “And he’s impossible to kill, too! I saw him last summer at the waterslides. I tried to drown him. Impossible! So I went on the internet to check what his disease really is. And do you know what he has? He’s f–king ugly!” Then Ward tells his audience he wasn’t sure how far he could take the joke. He chides them for having kept laughing.

Though, apparently, the larger context of the show being about poking fun at local celebrities that Quebequois people seemed to deem sacred cows (Celine Dion, for one) might have been the deciding factor, but looking into what I could find, it looks like the section about Jeremy is just mocking him for his disability, and dismissing it as just him being ugly. It'd probably have been easier to defend if it was more complaining about the fact that the media kept fawning over the fact that this kid could sing at all and ignoring that his actual ability isn't all that great of you remove the whole deafness thing, maybe even pointing out that once you remember that Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are almost stone-deaf by this point and still rocking, his singing isn't all that special. But he just goes for mocking the disability and how disappointing it is that he's not terminally ill.

Honestly, I think George Carlin has the right idea here:

Not necessarily a big fan of the whole "sent to a human rights tribunal for a joke" thing, but that doesn't mean I think the joke he made is a good one. Hell, even when South Park makes disability jokes, there's often something more to the joke than just mocking marginalised groups (either mocking the authority figures who don't understand what's going on, or whatever jackassery the kids are up to in reaction to it.) And when there isn't, you just get a shitty episode of South Park.

Ah your right i did mix up the names ...Whoops

But even setting that aside my counter still stands anyway. Cursing him out would not be the same as joking about drowning him due to a disability.

A High Court judge has ruled in favour of health authorities who sought court guardianship of a gravely ill baby boy after his parents refused a blood transfusion and instead wanted a court order to receive blood from exclusively unvaccinated donors.

The court delivered its ruling just after 6pm in the landmark case of a gravely ill baby needing a blood transfusion as part of life-saving surgery.

The potentially precedent-setting decision is expected to have wide ramifications and draw a strong reaction in the anti-vaccine movement, where the case became a cause-celebre for those opposed to the vaccine.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
