The particular public house in question was named after a car. It would be quite the challenge to ask a car about their feelings anyway. Try not to get so triggered, your head might explode & that would be messy.
If you actually read my comment. You would realise the car was named after a person's physical abnormality.
The car was an insult from the beginning.
I just re-read your comment about 5 times because I was afraid I'd had a stroke. It says nothing of the sort.
Sorry i assumed you were answering a different comment.
As you comment has no relevence to this one.
The fucking article points out the original complaint was also about the car being named after dwarfism. The pub was named after a record breaking car named after little people.
And my comment was you are ignoring the fact that people bullied should not be required to tell the bullies.
Its like saying its OK to hit people smaller then you because they are to scared to hit back.
How easy do you think it is to disagree when everyone around you thinks your acceptable to joke about.
Sorry, your grammar is really bad, it's sort of hard to read & therefore hard to understand what you're waffling on about. Bottom line, the pub wasn't named after a person/people. I also care very little about your fake outrage or opinion. And no, those two things aren't remotely the same thing. One is a joke, the other is assault. Bye.
Only because you find it insulting.
Actually no. My friend John did. Before he died in 1996. From complications related to what at the time was called dwarfism.
I'm guessing people found that term offensive too so it was changed yet again?
