Anyhow El B. Your opinions are fine as opinions. It's just the manner and what appears to be that you think people should behave in a certain way, which appears to be your way. People may CHOOSE to do, rather than SHOULD do anything. Suggesting that people "should grow up and think a bit" because they don't have your opinion, will be offensive to some. We're not going to please everyone all of the time. Neither clearly, is Ricky Gervais.

So, if not a reference to a person with Downs, what is the new meaning of the word "mong" and what does a person who looks like a f*****g mong typically look like, i.e. to what image is Susan Boyle being compared?

If someone finds the worg "Mong" funny, then I really don't care whether they are offended by my opinion of that.
Indeed, the offence is a bit of a bonus.

Anyway, can we leave this now?, you are getting more preachily didactic than me ... and that takes some doing ...

OK. Will do. They do say that what you don't like in others is something you don't like about yourself.


Moving on...
