Which one is offending?
Calling a place a zoo and calling a person an animal are two different things. Y/N?
And you've got me all wrong. I know insults are a daily thing in this forum. I am not saying that it should be stopped or anything. What I started with was pointing out the fact that criticism and insults are two different things.
Insult people all that you(general you, not you) want to, let's not justify it by calling it criticism that celebrities are entitled to.
as much as chameleon is offensive, house is zoo is that much offensive - IMO
but why does it differ when Rahul says it & when we say it - in a way we are repeating his words in other way for fun ....
and the part bolded in red color is not fair - if you say expressing your heart out is insult then we all do it everyday - its a human nature - one cannot control him/herself so much so that he/she thinks 1000 times before taking a single step IMO... this way normal life becomes abnormal - we are humans - we make mistakes sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly but that doesnt mean you arent a good human - how long can a person be calculative or can do things against his/her nature - opinions differ from person-to-person & one needs to understand it -
normal public's criticism may look like an insult but we arent official critics but we are the humble viewers who watch the show, make it a hit if we like it & pay for that - & in this particular game - we public made one win - if we say it was good or it was bad its our opinion....
one person is coming out of a home which has given him so much & calling it a ZOO, & in response he gets a comment were you an Anaconda there? then he must take that in a funny way - as he himself has initiated his victory speech with metaphorical terms... when we reply using metaphorical extentions then he shouldnt take it as an insult ...
he is a public figure - he was talking to the mass media didnt he know that his words matter alot there ...
