The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[nukeabuse]

The money lender stereotype does have some historical basis, but this is due to the fact that in most places with any sort of Jewish population antisemitism was so strong that they were ostracized from the normal economy (buying and selling) that 'money lending' for lack a better term was one of the few options left for them

Sorryy if any of this has been mentioned earlier

[Caomhaoin]

Yes, that's the long and short of it.

[Kurt Cocaine]

Yes, that's the long and short of it.

Wuz dis wat u wer tinkin boss?

This is the thing about political comedy; it's so utterly predictably and unfunny. This is the right wing equivalent of a Donald Trump joke, only far older and so much less funny than even that low standard.

Looks like JK Rowling is having every colour of shit flung at her now. Not only is she an evil transphobe (has there ever been a more meaningless epiteth?), she's now NOT an antisemite- just give her a gentle, oblique swipe with that brush too sure! Fucked up carry on from the relentlessly virtuous brigade.

Delete Twitter and count your money, sweetheart. A ideology crazed  hive-mind mob's irrational screeching should just be read once, with a smile and a rueful shake of the head and a quaff of that 7k bottlín of wine

If i was as rich her I wouldn't give a fuck what anyone called me. And Twitter is the cesspit of humanity.

Holy shit, yeah, just had a look there and it certainly is a clusterfuck. Jon Stewart should be publicly flagellating himself if he genuinely hopes to backpedal on what was an extraordinarily stupid and irresponsible thing to say. Though, that said I happen to be watching the series at the moment with the little lad, and it did strike me as a bit on the nose too. But then I had a look and found out, as I posted above, that the head of the studio that designed the bank goblins was Jewish, so then I had to say to myself, well, okay, that's me projecting stereotypes, not the other way round. I'm sure everyone on Twitter will eventually also arrive to a similar sober conclusion lololololololol

I'm not on Twitter. It looks like a cesspool to be sure. My phone gives me random 'news' updates about JK being worse than Hitler and Bruce Dickenson for some reason having to have an opinion on a male swan or some such bilge.

Edit. That joke would have been better if I hadn't confused a swan and a duck. MC Cob indahouse, yo.

What's happening to JK Rowling is utterly disgusting.

[Eoin McLove]

It's nothing more than mob mentality bullshit. Once someone is deemed beyond the pale these ravenous scumbags tear out of the wings, all guns blazing, to show what wonderful people they are by bullying that person and doing their best to destroy their career and reputation. Imagine how self deluded you'd have to be not to see the hypocrisy in such behaviour.

[Caomhaoin]

As our dear Dark Stranger used to say, 'all social media is gay, gentlemen'.

He subsequently became a total Facebook whore but that original point stands.

Where is the boul Toenail these days? Shame he didn't bounce over to this forum.

[Kunt 4 Life]

Twitter is indeed a nasty place, one of the worst of the social media sites.
It's definitely not the place to take reasonable and mature debates and discussions. But then again, where is?

[Emphyrio]

Couldn't be dealing with Twitter myself. Enough retardation funnels through without it.

Including, Sinead O'Connor coming out with a tweet (ugh) about her son whose body was just found in Bray.  Do she really need to hit Twitter?
