Thats as bad as the blonde who went into the garage moaning she didnt know what the 7I0 stood for on the cap under her bonnet !!!

As somebody with a long history of recurring clinical depression, bipolar type II disorder, etc. and two stays in hospitals under my belt, I am well offended by making fun of people for having mental health problems. It’s a terrible affliction that can really hit anyone, just like coming off your bike and breaking your leg, and it should be treated with similar sympathy, not scorn and humiliation.

Mental health probs can be even more crippling than a cast, yet people will crack jokes about it, instead of holding the proverbial door open for you… why is that?

I’ve seen friends lives and potential go down the ****ter because of manic depression, I’ve seen girlfriends cut themselves because of borderline personality disorder, I’ve seen people die from anorhexia nervosa, and none of these people were “crazy”. They were lovely, intelligent people and to make fun of people for their illness/disability is not cool at all.

About 1 in 4 of you will have mental health issues in your lifetime, and it already carries a ridiculous stigma as it is, so it really is no laughing matter. There are pretty good chances you or somebody you love will be affected in your lifetime. It’s about as funny as making fun of women with breast cancer.

i know it’s a joke, & the serious side of these kind of jokes are what we don’t see.well said there itsthemechanic, & im with you on that.

there needs to be much more education on the subject-AWARENESS.
it really fcs me off when people who suffer from REAL MH issues are ignored.

care in the community? - yes right!..more like care in the government wallet!.
shame on you tony blair!, can’t wait for you to fc off out of office!.

Most jokes are about a minority - that makes em funny! Get a life-I made a joke about blondes in a biker bar so is everyone gonna hate me for that. Its a joke - get over it. Im sure she doesent really hate mentally incapacitated people its just a bit of fun.

PS. I thought it was funny

And i hope i havent missed number 69 on the forum count

Whys that Darryl - you think whoever gets into government is gonna do any better. I dont think so.

Just for the record is it right Stefan to call the ‘German ghostrider (not)’ a retard? is that not causing the same offense?

your right there Ben - nothing will ever change - never in politics!.

On that note - he also posted up a pi$$ take of people with tourettes a couple of weeks back.

Is that not classed a dissability? Or coz u dont suffer with it its ok?

Agreed mate.

One rule book…

Any who rant over on that it could go on for ever

Ok, you can shove the PC machine up yer arses now, never mind all that s**t. This is LB. Land of the free.

More to the point, was it funny??? C’mon Claire, pm it to me please.

Or better still, just post it again. You didn’t offend enough many!

Well I dont care what people say…

I like Rocking Backwards and Forwards Dribbling !!

It Comforts me !!

Sounds like you’re watching porn in a rocking chair mate!
