After all thats what public discussion forums are for isnt it?

Now, if you had added either of the phrases

"FACT!!!"

or

"End of"

we would have known that was the end of the discussion.

Oh you could also have invoked Godwins Law by mentioning Nazi's

OK then END OF....

Oh and....

Godwin's Law is often cited in online discussions as a caution against the use of inflammatory rhetoric or exaggerated comparisons, and is often conflated with fallacious arguments of the reductio ad Hitlerum form.
The rule does not make any statement whether any particular reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that one arising is increasingly probable. It is precisely because such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued[4] that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact. Although in one of its early forms Godwin's Law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions,[5] the law is now applied to any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads and wiki talk pages.

There is no law against saying the word Nazi! Only the comparison of!

Unlike RETARDED, Nazi was actually the proper and correct term. Retarded is a horrible TAG that stupid and often insecure people use.

END OF!!!!

LOL, Whatever....................

Well In my honest opinion which nobody asked for but I'm going to say anyway Soulkiss put this to bed first time: the guy with Down's Syndrome is the star, if you watch the out takes he is having a whale of a time, and I personally reckon he is pretty funny. If he is having a good time making the videos then who are you to stop him?



I do however also fail to see the funny side of the mighty boosh lol.

Also, in episode 10 his parents are in it, proving that they are also fine with it, them being his primary care givers.

Just type Josh Blue in Youtube.

It's the brave new world where people feel the need to be offended on behalf of others who neither need nor want their 'support'

I also fail to see the humour in this, but it's got nothing to do with the fact that the guy has Down syndrome... it just failed to make me laugh.

You try being a primary care giver!

When a member of my family comes running home in tears because idiots take the mickey because they dont understand.

When they dont know why people do things or say horrible things to them because they have the mental age of a 6 year old.

Think back to when you were six! I bet you cried when you were picked on. Or were you one of them knobs who bullied people.

Try being on call to help out whenever possible. Giving up things you may want to do. Its hard work mate and I suggest you back off.

But teasing and bullying disabled people is entirely different to laughing at a video made by one of them! I agree with you about what you are saying, but I don't think it is relevant to this video series.
