billboards defaced

[Pittsey]

yep around there but theres no "d" in it :thumb:

Oh yeah. lol
Hounslow.
Cool

 

[not really ken]

Nowhere near as passionately as they do about a family members suffering sexual harassment!

lol, thats irrelevant man, it was just an analogy. It wasn't and equating of the two scenarios. Just let it go.
the consequences of vandalism are not as serious as sexual harrasment.
so the passion and consequences are all relative.

Should muslims be allowed to tear down anything they deem offensive?

No. And that's why I feel like this vandalism is wrong. period. end of discussion.

 

[ThaHeartless]

Should research be done, regarding billboards? well, if the billboards are indecent then they shouldn't be allowed in the first place. What is being advertised has never been a problem, you dont see people tearing down adverts advertising pork chops. Television has strict laws before the watershed, so to ask for indecent advertising to be removed from billboards is nothing new in british culture. They already have laws concerning decency in public and public broadcasting.

cool. i never thought about the effect on minors (kids). And they wander why theres so many teenage pregnancies and such, lol.
I agree that the ysl one is inappropriate but again theres an unbalancing issue of whats visually offensive or disturbing. e.g. how naked does naked have to be for it to be considered offensive? may sound stupid but its controversial. i say this because i think ive seen the desperate housewives one somwhere and I think people complaining about that may be exaggerating slightly (not sure if i seen same one as you're saying)

ken I'll say it again. If the majority have a problem with it, it will come down. If not, then tough luck you'll have to be sickened everyday by billboards containg the pictures of women showing some flesh...horrific!

there only has to be a small minority of complaints. there are 60 million people, not many of the 60 mill would have to complain in order for the billboard to come down. the majority dont care they too busy wilth other things

nah! it doesn't bother me that much, but its an issue that still needs to be addressed. trust me, im not going to shrivel up and die if I see that.

I don't understand this. Are you saying that because vandalisn isn't as serious as sexual harasment, the passion& consequences were relative? wtf?

Btw,I had let go of you weak point until you brought it up again

true! that could be debatable if and when the advert comes up for passing through the advertising standard agency.

it was simply an analogy, you couldn't seem to grasp that and wandered of in a whole different direction about 'you can't equate the two'
stop clutching at straws!

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

I ain't clutchig at anything. I was tossing that analogy away because it was bullshit.

 

[not really ken]

no you equated the two scenarios, found that they were quite a bit apart and tossed it away. disregarding that it was simply an analogy of how someone might take the law in to there own hands. you stated that they were completely different.

well an analogy is "similarity bewtween two things which are totally different. the similarity was 'taking the law in your hands' the difference..well you have pointed that out

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

Once again, you know fine well why I didn't accept that as applicable to this situation or this debate. An exaggeration to make something clearer is one thing, an exaggeration which substitutes sexual harssment of a family member for taking offence at a billboard is an outrageous analogy.

We both know that they are too far apart for this analogy to be deemed a valuable comment, so let's leave this comment alone now.

 

[not really ken]

^^it wasn't an exaggeration it was an analogy, an analogy incase you haven't realised is "a similarity between two things whch are totally different"
Now anytime you feel like ressurecting your weak argument, go right ahead.





(im off to bed now, feels great to be back up in WoW )

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

How many times?

I can accept an exaggeration of reasonable proportions, not one that's so big it becomes irrelevant as it starts a totally different argument.

As for me having a weak argument? I'm stating opinions, facts & general knowledge.
You're whining because you get offended if women aren't completely clothed. If that's what you want head east & never look back.

What they did is called vandalism, just because they think they own that part of england now and think they can turn it into some god forsaken land of theres and do what they want with it, again, gather them up, lock them up, untill they learn their lesson, it's time to get tough.

We get a lil bit off topic in here.

Yeah lock the bastards up, how dare thay vandalise a poster, thats pure evil. They deserve some real time in jail, maybe even a bit of rehabilitation.lol

maybe lock up is a bit harsh,, but i think the standard punishment for vandalising is at least a fine. So give them a fine, if they do it again,, then get serious with lock ups, until they learn.

yeah thats sound a bit more fair, even muslims deserve justice u know.

they do? shit thats news to me.. j/k haha, na it wasn't about them being muslims, it was about them being vandals, u can't get locked up because of your religion

Well reading ur previous posts shows how much u question the actions of muslims, surely if it was just a set of random vandals then this wouldn't even be an issue to you. Im sure your not too concerned about the vandalism but the fact that they were muslims influenced your 'locked up comment'. Am i right?
