Surely we are better than this????

There was a post tonight about ISIS fielding a team in the nines. Not only did it have "witty" puns about bombs and such but people posted pictures of Muslims near the Eiffel tower and saying "first team photo". This is disgusting in my opinion given how soon after the French attacks this is. Yes there may be a time for humourBut this is just tasteless and more than offensive. Ffas those who posted pull your heads in and wake up to yourselves. We should have more respect and decorum on this site surely

  • I didnt find it offensive at all, in fact i found it pretty funny BB, there was nothing wrong with the pictures at all, its called humour mate, and we are born on larrikanism here in Oz, if the world could laugh at themselves the whole place would be a lot better.

  • Beer Baron can you please post your concerns in the current affairs blogs.
    The Coterie does not wish to hear from you regarding this matter or any other matter unless it is Rugby League related.
    • Sorry my bad
    • Are you a mod? If so good thing you're wasting your time on picking people up onbeauracratic errors... If your not a mod then at least contribute instead of picking useless crap off people.... Cos where I posted this is the main point here fmd.....
    • BB, this is the problem when you go on a moral crusade you often bring more attention to the behavior that you find offensive, I have not seen Horos blog but you sure as shit make me want too. Secondly you then open yourself up for others to question your own moral compass iand I must say that seems a little hypocritical.
    • Lol Turps, that was way funnier then the thread that started the whinge in the first place.

      Darkie that has to go in the one liners thread lol.
  • Normally I would agree ol snakey but I would ask you this question ---- If the Paris s attacks were on the sydney opera house would we be laughing? I'm not usually one for pc and I don't think I'm promoting here but I think you could at least agree the photo with the Eiffel tower is at least in poor taste?
    • BB maybe it was in poor taste depending on ones taste, but i dont think the person that posted the picture was laughing at the french people, it was jast a light hearted joke, maybe youve read into it too much?

      cheers

  • I think the blog was having a go at ISIS and in no way disrespecting the French.

    The French are a unique breed with a wicked sense of humor. They will use it as a weapon in dire situations and it is extremely effective.

    Check out charlie hebdo magazine.

    Vive la France :)

    • Yeah Charlie hebdo rocks they did another cartoon bagging ISIS after the attack. Gotta love the French spirit!
