ubit Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 It wouldn't be racist anyway American isn't a race. It's xenophobic if anything. 4 Quote
dclaassen Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 American here, reside in the U.K… just got back from a fortnight in the US…OP is pretty accurate…definitely not offended…:) 10 1 4 Quote
lownote Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) They're actually quite clever. After all they just (so far) successfully made a world class telescope out of lego, string and cling film Edited January 5, 2022 by lownote 1 3 Quote
Supernaut Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Don't understand the thread title. Brits regularly show similar levels of stupidity. Like the usual "All Americans are fat" jibe. Brits are right up there with them now. 3 Quote
fleabag Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Back to the lawsuit - how was the baby exploited ? Surely the parents gave permission, in which case the grown baby is just after some easy dollars. Glad it was rejected. Nobhead 3 Quote
ubit Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 The guy has milked this all of his life and then obviously thought I can make some money here. If he should be suing anyone surely it would be his parents. 4 Quote

I not sure, I'm not being woke here btw, I get offended by people being offended, just trying to point out double standards Quote
Newfoundfreedom Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 You can't really say all Americans are dim anyway. Like the UK, it's only actually about 50 percent. 1 Quote

Nobhead Expand He claimed it was child sex abuse and akin to child pornography and suffered for years because of it. Thrown out on two counts: 1. Statue of limitations had expired. 2. Claims of psychological damage were spurious. The judge also ruled that since practically everyone in the world had viewed the image and no one else has ever raised an issue, it couldn't possibly be now ruled as a pornographic image.

Jason Karloff Posted January 5, 2022 Author Posted January 5, 2022 I know it worries me how fragile and delicate people are these days. How quick they are to throw themselves to the floor in a faux fit of tears and persecution. How does the fat ginger kid survive in a class room these days?) I love them septics. They gave us 50% of Laurel and Hardy. Even better 100% of Harold Lloyd. Ok they have spawned Marjorie Taylor Greene but hey yin-yang, snakes and ladders and all that. Anyway what numpty lead with such a provocative title? sigh. Quote
