    they are designed for people who use walkers, i think the cartoon drawing of the guy in the wheelchair using the bench (which I can't find a source for) is just a mistaken add-on https://www.fr.velopa.be/gamme-de-produits/mobilier-urbain/bancs-pour-seniors/vivanti-banc-pour-seniors-avec-dossier-1-plus-d%C3%A9ambulateur-plus-1-places-bois/

    I would recommend anyone following this thread for the first time that they read it while they're drunk. They can just laugh along with it. Being sober might put them in a foul mood.

    For some inexplicable reason it's seems to be a lefty liberal free zone.

    What's wrong with either end of the bench?

    I gotta say if that's the kind of discrimination people in wheelchairs are now facing then I think we can tick them off the box as taken care of. Christ.:rolleyes:

    Not be be pedantic, but it is called a wheel-chair. The word chair might already indicate the probability of the person already being seated, so why the need to modify a perfectly good bench?

    I think the world is gone mad.

    Now speaking good grammar is racist and classist:



    From 10:15 onwards. It says:

    "People are coming to understand that fixed rules of grammar are racist and classist constructs laid upon an ever changing system."

    The Huff Post article they reference is from 2018: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/opinion-proper-english-grammar-racism_n_5ba91ec9e4b069d5f9d549cd

    WTF??

    Firstly the comment on how grammar is racist
    This is straight out of what happens in Idiocracy

    ...a parody that is scary in its accuracy now it seems.
    Even Futurama with "Can I axe you a question?"

    Secondly, after watching that entire video. Are they aware that Friends was a sitcom??? Love how all the men as well are 'toxic' and each one gets a full run down on why that is the case.
    But even ignoring that, it is/was a god damn comedy! There was lots of things that don't make much sense if you think too much about yet because it fat/gay jokes its evil now?

    Hostile architecture is an actual thing though, its mad what expense they'll go to to deter homeless people from taking up space...

    It's like blocking off laybys with boulders to stop travellers setting up camp there, I suppose. But that's a different argument....

    Our Galway cllr would want more of these anti wheelchair slip features :D

    Interesting.

    And given that Sassenach comes from the word 'Saxon' I wonder whether the Scots and Irish will stop using that term - purely in the interests of diversity!

    I already said im anti-woke on the vast majority of things, but it is a nice touch for black kids i think, would also have been nice for Hispanics kids.

    Why is superman always able bodied and cis gendered? Sick of this constant discrimination against disabled trans people.

    Again - superman - not human!

    Maybe gender doesn't exist in Krypton!

    What?

    What is wrong with Saxon?
    Is there a problem with Alans, Franks, Angles, and other germanic tribes as well?

    So Lois Lane made out with an alien! How about that for diversity and inclusion.

    It's hard to know what to do with people this stupid

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    I completly agree with you - it's genius. It's not easy to be this observant and artistic at the same time. Even Picasso said it took him four years to learn how to paint like a master, but a lifetime to paint as a cihld.

    Why you positng it here though?

    I thine he meant "philistines", not fascists (although Hitler would never have stood for this, but then he lost the war)

    Mod

    The last few posts have severely failed the 'any craic' test (TM), with people trying to bring in discussions from other threads in other fora.

    Drop the gender politics crap now, or its a forum ban.

    I feel sorry for the satirists of the world, as their satire keeps becoming reality, leaving them with nowhere to go.

    Equity not Equality.

    Bidens pandering to identity politics is embarassing.
