In reply to the discussion: "If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set." Great screed from FB [View all]Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)92. You are missing the point.
We all find something culturally-offensive.
Brits have their humor. Americans have theirs. My Jewish friends have theirs.
What is funny to one may not be funny to another.
It's that simple. People are too quick to become outraged over trivial matters.
There are REAL problems out there. That is what we should all concentrate our energies towards. Not a single word in a two hundred word post, written by a Brit, shared by a fellow DUer, that was meant in fun. About no less than trump.
If you really want to get your knickers in a twist, go ahead.
Have a nice day.

It is germane to the discuss. Perhaps not the discussion you want to have, but...
