Anyone who has ever said that to me has always gotten upset the moment I start talking about wanting to spit roast their auld lad.

I knew a lad be a general prick in work one time, said everything was fair game, called everyone in there every name under the sun, purposefully agitated everyone and played the simple fool when pulled on it.  Constantly made Nazi cracks to a German girl even when she asked him to stop, she ended up pulling him to a manager on it, he played dumb and went back at it the same day.  Kept making out that another lad's dead sister was a scumbag until he lost the plot with him another day, same shit, "I never said anything I dunno why he took it like that".  So I took him up on his fair game statement one day and started making out he was a child molester, making cracks around other staff to keep the kids away from him, he likes them young that lad etc etc.  It took two days but he got so thick he grabbed me up by the collar and threatened me, I told him "I dunno what you're talking about", he went to management, they told him there was nothing they could do, he stormed out.  Bit of greif from it all and a silent word off my own manager but they knew his form so it was mostly ignored.  He turned back up in work the next day or so and spent a solid month ignoring me, wouldn't bother trying his craic on anyone when I was there either - not because I stopped him or anything, he was absolutely not afraid of me and would definitely have kicked the shit out of me, but because I soured his fun for him.  Anyway he softened up a while later, the apologies were made, the cans had, all well.

My point is everyone has a tipping point, even lads who say they are the most impossible to offend, they mostly just don't like being made feel weak.

So you're saying that Kurt Cocaine is a convicted pederast. Is that what I'm reading here?

It's not about being offended, it's about not being so wantonly naïve that you convince yourself sharing made up bullshit online whose only function is to direct real world hatred towards certain individuals and/or groups - an activity that is otherwise known as doing the bidding of unconscionable dickheads - is something that doesn't have any consequences. It does. KC's drivel doesn't offend me, but it's a symptom of something that concerns me and that makes the real world we all have to live in a much more unpleasant place to live than it need be. To make an analogy, I wouldn't be "offended" if I heard of someone I know repeatedly pouring toxic industrial waste into a lake for shits and giggles, but I would do what I could to stop them continuing, down to smacking them over the head with the drum of waste if they're too immature (likely, given what they're doing) to respond to reasoned explanation.

Corporate 'inclusivity' ( which is NOT genuine in my opinion) doesn't offend me, in fact it's so crass in its attempt to keep up appearances that it gives me a chuckle when I'm breezing through certain websites.

The BBC is worse than CNN now, they just trip over themselves to have 'marginalised voices' heard at all times and all costs.

Ochills story reminds me of a German friend of mine who is an arch piss-taker. Himself and his bird came over to Madrid to visit a couple of years ago, so we went out for lunch with my young lad, whose mother is a Polak. Says he

'What are you going to do with him in summer'?

'I have him booked into a summer camp for July there'

A large, toothy grin just envelopes his face.

'What'?

'Nothing, nothing'

'What'?

'It makes me smile you know, Polish guys going to camps, you understand'?

😂😂😂

Trying very hard to picture this scenario....

So you're saying there's a chance....

I know you're only winding me but sure look, he got a taste of his own medicine.  All in he wasn't a bad chap either and I ultimately got on quite well with him but very simply, if you dish it out, you better take it too.

Not the first time, no

I have to add, I don't tell that story to put myself on some sort of superior moral ground to him, or anyone else, because I am not like that whatsoever and generally do not give the remotest fuck who or how people are so long as they are generally good form and not overly into themselves.  Anyone who knows me in real life (possibly one person in this thread) knows I have no major moral judgement to pass on anyone and I enjoy a fairly bleak and ragged sense of humour about living.  It just seemed like a story that fits with the theme of lads getting offended.   I also can't watch someone act tough in the name of humour but not actually be able to take it back.  The one armed waiter I suppose.

Haha, I get ya man. No worries, all good. Great story actually...
