Not that it offends me particularly if you want to have a go at Christians, but I wonder what the reaction would've been in here if you'd made similar comments in reference to a Muslim family?First.Aspect said:

Moderate Muslims or extremists, there is a difference. I have no problem with Muslims, I do have a problem with extremists.shortfall said:

Sure, but the point I'm making is that it's open season on Christianity but not so much with Islam. When did you last hear a joke about Islam on the Tele?veronese68 said:

I'm struggling to generate remorse. I have an open issue with anyone who imposes their religious view on anyone else. It is as offensive to me as an atheist rocking up to a church and saying "I don't believe in cumulous orbiting omnipotence. Whatdya think vicar? Here, I've got a pamphlet on science for ya."shortfall said:

The problem with expressing any such views about another religion is political correctness.
And, frankly, since we still live in a vaguely Christian country, somehow you only ever appear to encounter Christians who are as presumptuous as to broadcast their faith in the way that evangelicals do.
By the same token one might hope that the broader Christian community might be progressive enough to tolerate criticism of fringe elements.
That okay with you?1 -

Donald Trump is dumb. Plain as. He says he is up against the worst opposition, ever.
If he beats the worst opposition ever, so what?
If he loses to the worst opposition ever, then what does that make him?The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Watched a clip of the Giuliani bit - can't really see the problem - I'm assuming he doesn't think she's 15 of course.

Ok, but he does take the piss out of Kazakhstan, a predominantly muslim country and converts his village of muslims to christianity or apostasy. So definitely not afraid to take the piss out of islam...in a fairly major film.nickice said:

The concept of Borat being a major film, and one to be taken seriously at that, is quite simply hilarious!elbowloh said:

It's a sure way to get a response in here: favour Trump, Brexit, Covid-scepticism, etc., though the Cake Stop characters are soft in comparison with the below-the-line commenters in the Telegraph: the responses to this article about Marcus Rashford in the Telegraph demonstrates what happens when people try to outdo each other in their vitriol in demeaning an act of thought for others less fortunate. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/respect-marcus-rashford-grows-deeper-day/0 -
Rashford is a boy done good and has more money then more or less anyone his age so people can’t stick the “jealous” tag on him and he literally puts his money where his mouth is on this.
The usual attack lines don’t work here0 -

Not really. See, I bought this old Brompton and I am in the process of stripping it down to fit in the back of my airplane. It is an early 2000s H5R and I plan to get rid of the rack and fenders, put S bars on it and update it some with a cheap China hollow crank. I've been a bike guy off and on for over 50 years, started out on a Raleigh Competition in the '70 then got interested in mountain bikes and bought one of the first, a Ritchey Commando, came as a box of parts, nothing built but the wheels . . .rick_chasey said:

To be slightly fair to us, that's more like asking someone to find a region in Scotland: most US states are weird shapes arbitrarily carved out of a fairly distinctively-shaped landmass. Scotland is fairly distinctively shaped landmass, with a big clue that it's the other side of the Atlantic from the US, and is surrounded on most of its boarder by wet blue stuff.0 -
