"It was supposed to cause controversy! Why do you think most people have stayed away from it?!
I also find it interesting this is brought up here on a leftist related thread when there are almost daily right leaning topics that are certainly posted to cause controversy.
I have absolutely no interest in politics on fab at all! Which is why I never go into that forum. In fact if you’re going to do left and right threads that’s where they should be.
You seem to pop up in political threads a lot considering you have no interest in such a thing."I think you’ve got the wrong person there! | |||

"I wonder if this thread would've caused as much controversy had the term "leftist" been left out and it was just a joke about the police. Yes it would have because it is still disrespectful to label ALL police officers the same which is what was said at the start. They are not all the same! I agree, they're not. But it's a joke, after all and it's not going to land with everyone so wouldn't it be better to just pass the thread by and that way, you wouldn't be so angry with it
It was supposed to cause controversy! Why do you think most people have stayed away from it?!
I'll be honest, I didn't think people cared about the police that much. They're there, they do a job and that's it, maybe it's my own ignorance in that I've never been negatively affected by them but I had thought more people were focused on the political side of it, more than the joke itself
Oh just wait until they strike for a payrise and then we'll see . "They're not allowed to strike, just work to rule, which at the present moment in time is likely to be very problematic for the general population. | |||

Which is fair, a lot of people with right leanings don't see right wing ideas as political, they see them as ideas they agree with. I almost always (I would guess 80-90% ) post on political threads. And we do converse at least semi-regularly. | |||

"Or Police Officer like they're called. But what we want and what we get are really not the same thing Dreamy Neither is calling them "tools" when you don't know them surely? It's a general feeling of mistrust and resentment towards them. Think of it a catharsis Were you not brought up to respect them? Or at least not give them any grief? Not many seem to be taught respect anymore from a young age.
Young people are taught respect fine, the problem is more and more people don't realise they have to earn it and not just demand it.
No, what the real problem is what's seen in the news and on social media is labelled against every single person in those professions by people that are classed as adults.
You cannot label every single one of them as a "wrong un" because of the actions of a few of them.
And thats clearly what people are doing.
Yes exactly what I was going to say .. There's bad ones in every organisation and its unfair to label the entire force as untrustworthy..
Not that it matters as it was only a " joke " "It was really funny too. So it's all OK. | |||

" Ah,,, now are those your opinions again or facts… If it sits well with you it’s fine if it doesn’t fit with your beliefs it’s not. I call it hypocrisy. Think what you like, i was quoting comedy theory, it right there on google. But if you think it is ok to shield an organisation that has committed awful things from jokes, just because they are the police... wow No I don’t shield them from deserved criticism. Comedy theory… you mean someone’s opinion of comedy. Try fact based constructive criticism not insults and innuendo.. Now who is a hypocrite, you have offered nothing but your opinion I have never stated otherwise, you are the one who keeps quoting what is factual.. You know I never stated it was anything other than my opinion either? Only time I mentioned fact even remotely close to what you are suggesting was when I joked: "The fact you think jokes about the police and homophobic/racist/Islamophobic/transphobic/etc jokes are even remotely equivalent is the funniest thing in this thread" You are putting words in my mouth No I can see two more facts in there again. I am challenging your opinion with my opinion. I asked you to provide constructive criticism of the Police based on fact not innuendo. A big difference.. Why would I provide constructive criticism in a joke thread? If you want constructive criticism, start a thread for it. Not moving the goalposts are you..?? To quote you again. You call it a joke thread I call it an insult thread.. Still not a constructive criticism thread It was a suggestion that constructive criticism may serve you better than insults. You clearly prefer the latter.. I clearly do not see them as insults. They are pointed jokes against an institution deserving of pointed jokes. It is also clear I am not going to change my mind on this based on your argument. It is your right to think otherwise. What mroe do you want?" You have just reinforced my point. You don’t see them as insults because it fits with your agenda. Others do. | |||

"I wonder how some people expect the police to do their job while not supporting them or providing any input to help them enforce and maintain law and order. They aren't supermen. I'm no fan but a the same time I recognise they can only be effective if we are all part of keeping law and order rather than fighting them incessantly. Feels a bit like the NUS from the 70a." I'm in support of the police force and appreciate how far stretched and underfunded they've become. But I can see a joke for what it is. | |||

The op is clearly pointing out the stupidity of leftists who think that every bobby on the beat is a lackey of the bourgeoisie or an enemy of the people, and don't really know about the actual work they do. She realises what thickos leftists are and is gently poking fun at them. Hilarious, and so true. Good one, OP - let's have more | |||
