Yeah, well, you can't, but I was wondering why it was a bit quiet here. when myscreenname's commentary on Port Gregory is the only thing you can read, things are quiet.

Shout out to PM33. You AREN'T suspended! Good work!

Must be doing a cleanup like the one in 2016. Gives unlucky contributors time to reflect about skepticism and critical thinking

mostly because the couple of regular contributors left are boring, in denial, too busy sniffing their own farts and when they're not, they're burying their heads in the sand....

Which is true, but sort of sobering in that the other losers are not posting at all and just green thumbing things that are getting angry at what other people are doing.

Sort of like yelling at roadworkers for not doing a great job and leaning on shovels as you drive past in your airconditioned Camry.

It must be great to be a leading expert in society and not lowering yourself to sniff your own farts.

Comparing the images you've both posted recently to this site?

Yeah, HH you certainly seem to be a lot more upset about how other people live their lives and you seem weirdly obsessed with Kamala Harris.

you seem weirdly obsessed with me - I'm flattered
But I'm not your type, I don't like to wear dresses and pretend I'm something that I'm not xo

I wonder if these people are genuinely interested in US politics or its just that people send them memes and they want to feel part of a team? If RWNJs is a team that is.

I find quite a few of these memes offensive. If its just talking politics its one thing, but if its just plain offensive, what is the point? Clearly someone hates someone enough to create a meme and then the other idiots just want to pass it on.

We need to stop freedom of speech so no one gets offended.....

I find what some contributors deem 'a funny image' so far from funny I wonder if there are backyard lobotomies being done.
Far from me to say whether something is funny, but I do reckon anything you post you should be able to pass the "show it to your mum" test.

Yep you're right. About being being funny that is

Looks like I need to be skooled in funny by a master.

Is anyone keeping a list or something so we can get remery back up to date with what's happened when his ban ends ?

I mean there must have been so much important stuff.... right ?

You're probably going to be (unsurprisingly) disappointed if you're wanting to get skooled in funny by the majority of the Funny Images posters

Well....
Despite PCs predictions, Bird Flu hasn't seen a massive rise in the cost of chicken or chicken being replaced with bugs or bug products on the supermarket shelves.

So he's gone back to harping on about Mpox again.

This attitude explains a fair bit about yourself.

I wonder if you've found that you can say the same things in the real world as you post up here without any consequences?

Or are you only able to express these ideas and feelings via the anonymity of the internet because you know that people in the real world would hold you accountable for the harm your ideas and language cause to others?

I find most of the Funny Picture memes offensive.

Thus I find them mostly funny.

I suspect all we hear about is whatever the echo chamber bots at YouTube tell him is important. We probably should be pointing the finger at YouTube and its yawn inspiring repetitiveness instead.

So, is repeatedly calling someone an idiot part of freedom of speech? We will ignore that this is a private website and open to the moderation by anyone in charge for whatever reason they want.

Now, if calling someone an idiot is both offensive and not part of freedom of speech, when does that apply to other people that just happen to be politicians?

Just so it's crystal clear, are you PM33 telling us that it is okay for Remery to call you an idiot and it fits in with your idealogy of freedom of speech? I am keen to hear the answer and any distinction from that to other people being called idiots or mocked.

In my opinion, there are limits to what people should be able to say. Most likely defined by public agreement/consensus. Just because you can post something up on a relatively free forum doesn't mean you should. In this case, I would argue "funny" means the regular form of funny for most people, not stupid memes that amuse RWNJs.

I apologise to all the RWJNs out there. I am not trying to discriminate, I am trying to include you.

Even Youtube has its limits. It is relatively well locked down these days as they try and cultivate paying customers. I think that's why a lot of these more extreme videos are showing up on other video hosting sites as youtube pulls them down.

Oh that's where I have been going wrong. I have only just twigged that PcD's posts are all ironic. I have been taking the posts literally, but when you consider them from an ironic perspective they just about all make sense.

Could somebody fact check if there have been more memes of Donald Trump posted in the funny images thread or more memes of all political figures who aren't Donald Trump added together ?

Is any Trump meme funny and acceptable because it is Trump, but any Biden or Harris meme unacceptable and deeply offensive because they are not Trump ?

Wow, it appears that the Elon Musk fanboys are doing what Elon Musk told them to do. Didn't see that coming either.

Very rough count from the past 20 pages.
Trump Memes: 9
All other politicians/Heads of state: 40
But we all know there's been plenty removed ...

Question:
Are Trump Memes funny because they're based on true things about him, what he does and what he says?

And when the same kind of meme is applied to other politicians they are usually also funny?

But the ones that fall flat or cross the line into being offensive are generally because the things in the meme or being implied things aren't true?

Trump Memes generally feature: him spewing nonsense, his hair, him wanting to be king (nothing about his "crowd size" yet), no one seems upset by those.


Not all Harris Biden memes are offensive, but I hope you can understand when one might be?

Like the one that somehow managed to imply all of the following:
Black people are akin to monkeys
Black only get ahead because of DEI requirements
Yet black women still have to resort to sexual favours to get ahead
The democratic party are f####ng black people over
Liberal policies that enable all of the above are responsible for the pandemics.

I saw a research proposal that made me chuckle. They proposed to test the validity of tracking Donald Dump's mental decline vs the amount of lies per hour when he speaks. That is, contrary to what you would intuitively expect in the general population, D.Dump would tell less lies per hour as his mental state declined.

You forgot the one depicting President Obama's daughters, aged 13 and 16, listening to their father performing oral sex.
