Dude chillout. It wasn't done to deliberately offend people, thus why myself and a whole bunch of other vegetarians having come in here with pitchforks and flaming torches to complain and make ourselves look like douches.
There are irish jokes, there are essex jokes, there are various religious jokes, there are gay jokes, there are vegetarian jokes. EVERYBODY GETS MOCKED. Get over it.

It clearly was done to deliberately be offensive.
"Look like douches"? People who think this **** is funny look like douches. I can appreciate something that is funny- even about race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, dietary habits, religion(or lack thereof) whatever- but this is just plain old ****ing stupid, and I have the right to think so, apparently you(and everyone else who is terribly upset that my opinion differs from theirs about a **** attempt at a joke) need to get over that.
I just think its bullshit when someone who clearly didn't think the joke was funny in the first place, decided to come in and ruin a perfectly good thread when hey, you could have just stayed out and ignored this "stupid" thread dontcha think?
Clearly, it was done to be deliberately funny, a wind up.
Seriously, this is the first time I will encourage someone to eat meat, if a bacon sandwhich will give you a dose of calmthe****down.
I think it's bullshit when someone posts(or says) something stupid or with the intent of being offensive and expects no conflict, just a mutual stroke fest of "teehee that's so funny ur awesome"
If someone wants to post or enjoy **** like this, then they should grow a ****ing pair, because it should be expected to receive criticism when you think being offensive is hilarious.
ok guys i hate being serious but looks like i'm going to have to be.
wolfy, i'm sorry you've been so offended by this thread. i'm sure that wasn't the intention but an unfortunate result.
lungs locked lips, yep, people have had fun here joking about which is lovely, but now people are getting upset and tensions are being raised we should drop the issue and move on.
seriously, i'd hate to see anyone fall out or get upset over a silly little joke, or for anything to spiral out of control, especially as this is a site full of people with varying levels of mental health issues.
so maybe we all move on? we don't want me being serious now do we? *worries*
But holy crap, were you really offended? If so, I find it hilarious.

Really now? This thread and many of the responses to it weren't intended to be offensive?
And it's the same old behavior on the part of many involved in it, too. A group of people who seem to consistently do nothing on the boards but try to provoke people / be offensive/ never have anything good to say. Completely unaffected by any sort of modding, as well.
I was not at all offended by the joke, and I doubt I'm in the minority here by not being offended.
I take my vegetarianism seriously but it was just a joke, I acutally thought it was quite funny. I've been veggie for 12 years and lots of my family are, but they found the joke funny too.
I don't think it was intended to offend anyone, just to lighten the mood and provide some comic relief.
I don't think we need to debate people being offended, everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it might seem radically different.
And if a thread is found upsetting it might be worth considering the 'Ignore' feature.
From here I think it might be best if we all take a step back and move the thread onwards, now, and back on topic.
if by this statement you mean overrun with overly sensitive tweens who personalise every statement on the board as a personal attack upon there self image then no, it wasnt always like this.
how in anyway was the first post offensive to you? honest to god. if you could separate the way you behave from the way you see yourself we wouldnt have this problem. who honestly cares how you eat, dress or behave?

Reason: Removed overly personal offensive comments.
Exacerbating the situation is totally going to help.
Everyone just chill the f out. :/
IMO, threads like these a clearly light-hearted, but sometimes mean comments are made. Either way, be able to laugh with each other and be nice please. You don't have to agree with everything to get along. One of my best friends is very strong Republican, while I am very liberal. We make fun of each other all the time but that doesn't mean we hate or fight with each other.
Grow a thick skin or learn to laugh. And at the other end of the spectrum, some people should know what's kosher and what is crossing the line.

ok guys, as much as i love jokes and choley can we let this thread die rather than prove to everyone that we haven't got the maturity to self censor and do what's best for the whole comunity.
how about instead of replying something nasty on here you create a new thread for giggles and fun that we can enjoy instead of creating more animosity.
if you don't it'll be left up to me and i just talk about pringles and other food stuffs... mainly pringles... please save the ryl general board from my threads... IT'S FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY!!!
Exacerbating the situation is totally going to help. Nice job.
i actually wasnt going to post. then i read one of wolfy's posts saying that he's allowed to criticise, so i thought i would to. im sick of this attitude that if one person gets offended, youre in the wrong.
I'm veggie, but I also don't really give a **** about anything.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Make us all feel wonderful. We'll never forget."
Maybe it's about time we got it. This is supposed to be the forum that DOESN'T trigger. Not saying that the joke is triggering or anything, I realise it was a joke... But all the fighting...
Yeah 666th Pope, I've seen the way people are highly sensitive to material that is discussed in jest, so I understand what you're talking about. And I wasn't angry at you so sorry if it sounded that way..
You're not in the wrong if someone is offended by something you say, but at the same time don't they deserve not to be attacked for being offended? I guess it depends on how "ridiculous" (and I hesitate to use that word) the topic in question is.

I don't like it...
Perhaps.
Not everyone gets on all the time.
I think calling it 'all the fighting' is a little exaggerated.
Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?
I don't think it is... I mean, it seems as though every time I come on here now there's another thread that's causing some huge argument... that's not what RYL is supposed to be about...
