Haha. I cant say what I feel. Ive been banned too much on boards cause I took the bait in the past.

I just think Its a bit harsh to make gags, especially that, its grand to make fun of this guy in China, but if a man was crushed in Laois tomorrow by some farming equipment, It would be "RIP", "his poor children", "poor man, horrible way too go" etc, all over after hours

Maybe youre right, we should laugh at everyone when they die, especially when they die a horrible death, haha, every bone in his body was crushed, haha, Fcuk his family, fcuk them all, haha, Im funny!

So true. How I love the 'Ignore List' facility in boards.ie, which allows you to cut life-hating, nasty, boorish and stupid people out of your timeline.

No no, I dont think you know what I mean, Im not offended by any of it really. Just want to know why the double standard is ok in after hoursm with the mods, and us irish people in general.
Some of the puns and jokes would be very funny, if it wasnt so serious, as some man being crushed to death.

Perhaps the attached chart will help you understand...

That would be decency, not empathy.

Here's a question.. Since there is alot of how could they and isnt it awful, aren't they savages over there...
Is there much difference in this obviously corrupt local politician ordering this to be done and some scum bag in Dublin blowing a lads brains out in front of his kids..Or whoever left that poor OAP tied up for days to die slowly..
People like to sit on their glass thrones and point out the savagery "over there" when we could look much closer to home for savagery and find plenty of it..

As for those surprised at the "off" jokes being made.. remember this is the AH forum, the epicentre of adolesence behaviour on the internet. Good for a laugh but not to be taken too seriously :rolleyes:

Well you can bet nobody will lie in front of the steamroller again which is probably what the authorities were trying to achieve. Not that I condone it..just pointing it out.

the worst thing about your thick post is that it isn't even funny.

Neither are any of yours. Does that make us even? Anyway, I laughed, so it's all good here. Is it cruel? Yup, but it's not as cruel as a million other crap things that happened in the world yesterday that ended with people losing their lives. Is this the "serious political debate forum"? No, it's After Hours, now get away out from in front of me steamroller, with the "ohh, you're so thick and cruel" pc gubbige.

Jill Meagher's body has been found. She was raped and murdered. There's a thread about her in After Hours. Will the same idiots in here who made their pathetic jokes about this poor man do the same in the Meagher thread?

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

The surprise comes from the fact that in this thread it's deemed acceptable to comment in that way, whereas it wasn't acceptable in other threads about dead people (Nevin Spence, Gerry Ryan, Katy French, whoever).

People have pointed out that a friend/relative of an Irish person may read the thread (and find it offensive), whereas that is unlikely in the case of this relatively unknown Chinese man. However, people have also told inmyday that if he/she finds the content of the thread offensive, he/she should not read it.

So the issue is the abundance of contradictions and double standards - if it is to be considered fair game to rip the piss out of this dead person, then why not other dead people? Alternatively, if we are to treat most deaths with solemn respect, then why not this Chinese man?

The thread wasn't 'buried,' by any means.

Besides, my point is both clear, and fair.

If you're going to make jokes about people in the manner seen in this thread then have the courage to do it on a consistent basis. Don't be a hypocrite.

The question is, will the mods be as lenient in the Jill Meagher thread as they were in this one?
I think you know the answer.

My point is both clear, and fair............... see two can play that game

I read some most of these comments here and they are pretty shocking to read.

For an honest opinion, at least some of those pictures from the DM article were partially blurred or pixel-lated out to prevent showing the true damage of what happened. Even IMO those same people who posted the same offensive comments will form a vastily different opinion at anytime when those pics are uncensored possibly from other sites. They couldn't be bothered to do so either due to the gravity of the images.

And I telling you now it wouldn't be one bit pretty.

It is an utter disgrace for the Chinese government to do such an action to the poor man.

May the dead man R.I.P.

- I hear they're awaiting one of your hilarious comments over in the jill meagher thread to lighten the mood. You should go for it,sure hundreds of women get raped and murdered every year anyway so no big deal LOL!

Horrific

asherbassad · 27-09-2012 10:41PM

What about the fcuker who drove the truck? What kind of human being was he?
I certainly wouldn't follow an order by my boss to kill someone, no fcuking way.

The driver and every bollocks right up to the top should be before a judge for this.

Watch the Americans preaching and gas-bagging about this now when they beat and club and pepper-spray
their own peaceful sit-down protestors in spectacular wholesale fashion.

Wee Willy Harris · 27-09-2012 10:45PM

because I didn't know the person i can only go by my view that the lesser the population the more precious the individual.. would be another saving grace, but that's just how I see it. And let's face it there's not many, amongst the many not in thought nor features - I still have yellow fever though, n think my heart lies in some fcuking oriental garden or something but hey-oh

And vice-versa but I remember how I, was that overly compassionate kid

Mod

No more "jokes" about the incident and no more discussing what is and isn't acceptable to joke about.

Discuss the subject at hand, or don't post in the thread.
