You learn something every day.

Or did you just make up the word 'derogate'? Should I take offence at it?

Nope. It is a real word derived from Latin 'n' shit.

people are only up in arms about it because it was taken out of context due to one halfwits reading of the urban dictionary

Google the word belm.
I haven't found a forum where there aren't people saying they think comes from taking the piss out of a man with cerebral palsy.

Derogatory slurs about mental and physical disabilities are massively marginalised because of archaic attitudes like yours. That's why all over the country you'll hear people say retard, spastic, insane etc and not get pulled up on it because 'language and words change' and the world has decided that the mentally and physically disabled are fair game.

The fact that people are going to be reading this and thinking 'fucking pussy all this political correctness can fuck off stop being such whiny little bitch grow up' is a perfect example of exactly how marginalised this issue is.

I was a bit like that ^ before I came into contact with mental health charities and was made properly aware of the problem. It's allowed to start at such a young age and nobody stops it. Generations of kids at school start saying these words and grow up still saying them and thinking 'it's not that bad, not like calling someone a paki or a faggot'.

This is a good article:

Hooray, I've been nerged by Jeez for posting on this thread something with which he disagreed.
I'm probably on his ignore list now too, so I can say freely that I think he's behaving like a twat.
Off to nerg all his posts now.

Jeez, King of the belms, Lord Belm, Master of Nergs... RIP...

Hooray, I've been nerged by Jeez for posting on this thread something with which he disagreed.

But why would you do such a thing?

Clearly you are a man of precisely zero moral principles.

Jeez is an enthusiastic brown loaf swallower and rim-stench archivist.

just to make sure he sees this...

He's already seen it and nerged me for "lying"! Hilarious.

hahaha...

'Rim stench archivist' actually sounds like something the local council would advertise for.

I remembered this thread during a long walk yesterday evening with Mrs Fix, specifically at this (high) point:

Obviously we had a moment, having been impressionable pre-pubescents in the early 80s. Joey was a fucking icon. Still is.

I visited Belmarsh Prison two weeks ago.

I did not think of this thread at the time as Belmgate hadn't yet occurred.

^......and they released you? I am delighted that this forum is populated by white, educated males of 16-30 with disposable income, can I be one please?

When will Jeez rise like Lazarus from his ban? I miss the voice of reason.

CB, i don't think we can wind the clock back quite that far...

(48 and grumpy)

^......bloody kid! (52 and making Morrisey look cheerful).

Jeez may be a self-righteous, self-obsessed, hectoring prick, but I don't think he means any harm and he's OUR self-righteous, self-obsessed, hectoring prick!

Someone post a pic of jeez pls

Has this been resolved yet?

I don't see what all the fucking fuss is about.

And who is this jeez character? He seems a bit quiet to me.
