So are you saying that the picture of the three year old Chinese boy (representing the new North Korean leader from his 'autobiography' at an early age) was funny? Funny, because, you know, nudge nudge, they all look the same to you. Yeah, it's a laugh riot.

Yeah, it's a laugh riot. And what sort of a name is Rusty Bullet? Are you condoning the use of bullets? Are you in fact a war monger? The use of weaponry in a username can only mean you like war..... That just about sums up your logic. Watch this... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b018s...andUp_Part_One/

especially if they'd left dings in the alloys.. I knew he was chinese because I typed in "fat chinese boy" into Google. Unlike most I don't refer to koreans as Chinese, if I'm unsure I'll say asian. It was a comedy post, should know that's the usual from me by now. Besides Kim Jong Ills offspring didn't damage my wheels (which are worth quite a bit) and then deny it.

My logic is that Chinese people are not Koreans. Funny how quickly the abuse starts when the argument is lost. Some people need to lighten up.

QUOTE (Rusty Bullet @ Dec 20 2011, 04:47 PM) Funny how quickly the abuse starts when the argument is lost. Very true, but a consequence of most forums. As a victim myself I have been offended many times on here and complained to Admin to no avail so I think I'll join the club!! Don't be a prat "Rusty Bullet" (or whoever you are posting as today) by doing the offending for someone else. The world is full of pseudo offence takers. If it offended a Chinese or Korean the let them say so for themselves.

After all, not only is it a mature attitude to take, enough wrongs must eventually make right; right? I don't think this is about 'pseudo offence takers, whatever that means, I see it as more of a home truth. For me, I didn't see it as funny, but not because I thought it offensive (a bit rich when we are amongst the fattest nations on earth), but because it didn't make me laugh. Now 'Team America: World Police' portrayal did make me laugh, but that was funny.

If one considers the political situation of the region regarding the source of a lot of the food for the country, then the original post by xjay is, in a way, quite poignant and clever - or am I getting too deep? The picture and light hearted comment did not offend me at all. Regards
