Comparisons

If I said that Robert Mugabe looked like an ape, I would probably be banned. But if I said that George W Bush looked like a chimp no one would bat an eye lid, I wonder why that is?

Would you disagree with such a ban?

Why should eyelids be batted(spl?)?

The more posts you have, the more leeway you get when it comes to things that are borderline banable basically.

The difference between you being a troll (maybe), and a proper poster who wants to have a real discussion !

The apes have a Union to lobby on their behalf but the chimps don't so we get away with it.

By making a statement “I think Robert Mugabe looks like an ape” would in my opinion be regarded as racist comment. But I don’t think that’s fair, because what if i said think he looks like an ape because he is ugly, not because every one assumes i said that because he is black.

Between apes, chimps and lizards, I reckon its time to call on Dr Doolittle to assist us here in AH.

I personally do not think he looks like an ape, although I do believe he sometimes has the same mentality of one.

If you provided comparitive pictures, then there would probably be no problem.

boneyarsebogman, yes it was in context. I'm sure about the humourous part though.

50 Cents G Unit group stands for "gorilla unit", as in the animal, not the rebel fighter.

I remember thinking when he came out in 2003 that he is the ugliest rapper since the late great Biggie Smalls, but hes been on so much you get used to him.I dunno

Not to diss Biggie, he himself mentioned his lack of attractiveness in several tunes (mainly comparing it to the sex with beautiful women that his monetary power brought despise his morbid obesity )

Where is the comparsion? Mugabe is an ape, as is Bush, and you, and all the rest of us.
