I disagree. Cancer is a bit more serious than a flu, you know.
You just made that up. It's up to me to decide whether I joke about it or not.
So now you're an 'expert' on Dutch too eh? Kanker isn't the worst thing to say in the Netherlands. In fact, nowadays it can be compared to way '****' is used in English. A 'kankermarokkaan' would translate to '****ing Moroccan'.
That's quite egocentric. Laughing at and about cancer might not be as severe as laughing at down syndrome, because they might affect you differently? You should think from other people's perspective. You might think it's ok to joke about one, but not about another, yet others might think otherwise. Therefore, I don't make a difference between them.
I'll laugh at whatever I want. I don't value subjects differently based on how they related to me. I feel empathy to both, but that won't stop me from joking.
Because a start button makes it look sporty, hurrr.
You're right, in my opinion. I once drove a Toyota Auris. It also had drive by wire. The throttle pedal was unresponsive and laggy. I could push the pedal to the floor and lift it completely, before the engine would respond .
And I know a person with a down syndrome. You can't laugh at people with the down syndrome, yet cancer is okay?
You, sir, have some unexplainable double standards
Attachment: person with down syndrome, playing a funny character. Just laugh along with him. Be happy, and don't make a fuss about people laughing about possible 'offensive' subjects. .
What the others said. Besides, you can't 'meisure' how offensive certain usernames are. Some people feel offended much more easily than others. Therefore, I'd say: just leave it as it is.
Boo hoo. We can make fun of everyone, except for the holy down syndrome? :bowdown:.
You're not telling me what I can make fun of and what not. I'll make fun of whatever I want.
Most people don't make such a fuss about it, really. There's not much to face for me anyway, because most people can tell a joke from a serious comment.
It's not a plane, but it's not a normal boat either. It can fly up to 100m high, and it'll do over 400km/h in a straight line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUTWWsh6iGA
Hardly any interest, just visiting the forums every now and then to see whats up.
Never going online, just forum addict.
Loving the concept but bored to death, never going online.
Hey Blueflame. You said you knew something. Sadly, you were wrong. You could've done research before you made a statement, but you didn't. Even when others proved you wrong, you didn't believe them. And when you finally did confess you were wrong, you indirectly stated it wasn't your fault. You're one thick guy..
You should've been man enough to not make any mistakes. Also, when experts correct you, don't think they're wrong.
I'll leave the technical discussion to the experts, unless I can add something to the discussion. You should too.
