"keen to see where this post goes...............
Hmmmmm...you just know it's going to degenerate quickly. The OP has set the tone!  "
hm, not sure how. it was said directly to him and he took no offence...he was actually rolling on the floor as she was offering him kudos in his abilities. the only one to look bad was her!

stereotypes re people's nationality e.g. Katie Price on the French after a trip to Eurodisney "its full of French people"
Jeremy Clarkson on ...errr just about everybody lol
Stereotypes can be entertaining if they are taken with a pinch of salt... only damaging if taken as read and true? |

Mine was a friend who'd had an accident and was paraplegic and in a wheelchair.
I knew him before, was there when it happened, and helped him get his life back afterward.
So to me, he was just 'Davy'. Sure he was in a 'chair, but all that meant was his legs didnt work anymore. He, like the rest of us, had good days and bad days.
And sometimes, he was a bit of a twat - both before and after his accident.
So, one day, we're at a function, and he's he's giving it the big 'i am' about various things, and generally being twattish.
Some girl makes some comment about how brave he is, being in a chair and going back to work etc, to which i point out that he is their token 'twat in a wheelchair' for the h.r dept - cue the girl 'well, i think disabled people can make a vualable contribution...etc etc etc'

when she was 5 my sister had perthese disease and was in broomstick plasters and a wheelchair for 17 months
one time we were in a shopping centre with our dad and an elderly lady came up with a bag of jelly babies, she offered me one then turned to my dad and asked 'would the little one in the wheelchair like a jelly baby?'
to which my dad replied 'she's got a problem with her legs not her fucking brain ask her yourself'
think we got the whole bag  |

dont worry , people are too scared nowdays to even mention anything to do with race
for example if you were to suggest marathon runners from ethiopia were on average better than those from other races , you would metaphorically speaking be stoned to death on here
i hasten to say that is not my opinion by the way , i was talking about what others have said
PHEW ! |

Really: I've just shook my head at some of the things I've read on these boards, but hey, I'm nearly 50, London born, not much I haven't heard in my life time.
If I was to get up in arms at everything I'd be in a permanent state of annoyance: why would I hand people of no significance to me that power?!!

"I am a big girl so I am desperate and am grateful for any male attention and will shag anyone.....NOT!!!
"
I'm a big girl and agree with you this stereotype is such a lot of bull. Not desperate far from it. Have more interest than i could physically handle (not that i take everyone up on their offers I am discerning) lol. Far more that my thinner friends and it drives them nuts lol |

"All english women have a thin upper lip...
Somebody told me this years ago.. A french insult apparently..
Now next time you are in john Lewis, check the size of the top lips!"
Yes! I was brought up with this as well - all British Women have small upper lips. I can't translate the silly song properly into English but it's about how British women are so stern and angry so their top lips get pulled in!
Even now when i see nice lips I think deep down they must have some non-Brit in them :D |

cannot remember the comediennes name, but i do remember the joke: went along the lines of her daughter coming in from school in tears, slamming doors, kicking chairs...so she asks her what's wrong and the daughter replies "i'm fat!"...mum replies "of course you are, so at least do us the courtesy of being jolly". |
