Does anyone know why this has taken two years to (nearly) come to a conclusion?

Yep, the point about offence and comedy being subjective are spot on as is the one about context being entirely relevant. But I guess in the context of this thread that makes, me, you, David Baddiel, Ricky Gervais and others Anti- Semitic! Perhaps this is the answer to where the artists and...

From what my mate tells me these kind of senses of humour are rife in the police force too. I don't think you can do these jobs for any length of time without one. How else do people get through shit?

I don't think you read his post properly. He was talking about people on death row not in Auschwitz

I would think that people at Auschwitz needed laughter more than most. I am also sure that they found some way to get it. Gallows humour is often talked about with people who work in the worst jobs, it is my suspicion that this carries over.

We will have to agree to disagree. For the record I don't think you have no justification for your stance, I understand the point you are making and largely agree with it. The only difference as i see it is that the bloke's motive is or should be relevant and that a criminal conviction is a...

Now apply the same reasoning to the video. Can I ask again, have you watched the video? Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

'the worst thing I can think of'

It is also worth noting here that implied in the video is the fact that 'gas the jews' is a heinous thing to say. He is making the point that he is making the dog 'the worst thing i can think of' a nazi. So the implication here is that 'gas the jews' is 'the worst thing he can think of'. So...

Apparently I have moved echo chambers, it is quite enlightening punk:

Have you actually watched the blokes video to put this in context? Firstly let me clarify that i am not trivialising hate speech, no one should be putting out a youtube video with 'gas the jews' repeated over and over again, it is not on. My point is that in the context of the fellas 'joke' he...

It will be interesting to see what the sentence is for this chap's misdemeanour.

The judge described him as intelligent so i hope he has now seen the error of his ways. I also hope that the sentence reflects these ideas and includes some education rather than a prison term. Maybe the dog can take out a private lawsuit for defamation of character. Although I would suggest he...

I agree with your post entirely. Do you think that a criminal conviction is appropriate in this case?

Spot on.

You are missing a very important point here, it wasn't his dog it was his girlfriend's. The joke is that she always goes on about how lovely and cute her dog is so he was trying to turn it into something the opposite to that...... a Nazi. I agree with your point about posting this on youtube...

I never said anything was hilarious, you are twisting my words. Your example is classic whataboutism and is not the same as what this guy did. I think you know the difference so won't bother to explain it to you. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Indeed, gone way too far. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

In the context of what he was doing it was clearly a joke. Weather one finds it funny is subjective but if you watch the video it is hard to argue that this was not a joke. The premise of turning his girlfriends dog, who she always goes on about being so cute and lovely, into a Nazi is quite...

People have different opinions about stuff Looney. Free speech innit.
