But IMI, most of the posts you highlighted in post 18 were not made by one person with a chip on their shoulder. We are not all children here, it is fine to post current events and all but your current events all follow a theme that most people might misinterpret.

I take offence to the infamous "post 18" you refer to - many of the posts highlighted were posted by me with the intention of starting interesting, adult discussion on the forum, none were posted with the intention of causing racial conflict.

 

In my world it's possible for adults with conflicting opinions to discuss them without resorting to abuse.

 

Not sure about your intention....(all the threads were NOT yours)

 

enciting racial tension perhaps...?

IMO selection of the thread titles could be better.

Look at the comment on those threads, fairly directed in one direction on the whole - obviously these are news articles that you are quoting so this is what the media is pushing out and not you.

 

I simply want to highlight that the extremist views of certain people are not shared by us all which is why i try to post and put things in perspective.

 

I have noticed that an environment is being created where its quite acceptable to be anti-muslim / anti-islam / racist posts / threads on here and that is not good.

 

Whats hilarious is that its all twisted back towards me to call me a racist.....if not liking Mr Malarkey is racist then I am one.

 

 

Nutjob eats swan - Excuse: Hungry / Muslim

Why the need to have muslim in the title??

 

You have to love Americans don't you?

Amazing how this one goes amiss.

 

Burqa ban

Another muslim bashing thread

 

Jack Straw - Sensible Move?

Israel vx Lebanon

BA Announcement

Security Threat

same as above

 

Islamic reactions

Is the reaction to the 'cartoons' a reasonable response.

same as above.

P.s i think most people are anti religion, not racist, thats a huge differance in my opinion that most people dont consider. It does my head in that one group can say yes god exists and this and that is ok not o.k, but someone that thinks religion is a load of rubbish cant say i think you're delerious and what you're saying is wrong.

TB - fair enough, perhaps you have changed your tune, the original post that I have quoted below is racist and offensive.

 

I wouldn't say I've changed my tune, I'm just in a different key! :D

If that post offended you then I appologise it's the last thing I want (as I've said a few pages back).

I haven't changed my tune on wanting Britain back though.

 

But a couple of questions. What is this 'culture' that you are trying so desperately hard to keep?

When was this Britain that you are talking about like you wanted it to be, when did it change?

 

It started before I was born, the rules set out by our government and the EU that allow human rights nonsense (although that's a different matter really). I'm not sure what I'd want from Britain and how far back it should go, but recent news stories of people who live here saying they hate the Queen - WTF is that!!

I never said that Anti-relgion and being racist is the same...obviosuly they are completely different.

 

You are entitled to your own opinion (beliefs) whatever that is and so am I. However if someone choses to believe in a religion, then I would appreciate it if people would refrain from being dis-respectful. I am not trying to impose my beliefs on you, all I am saying is that stop being disrespectful. That is all that I am saying.

 

BTW: this post isnt directly towards you, this is just in general.

The mention of the Burqa ban reminded me of this picture I found recently.

 

This should go nicely in the scrapbook... :D

http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~shemesh/What_sthePoint.jpg

 

Joe - OK, go on, explain why you would post that pic? What exactly are you trying to acheive?

 

Maybe I miss the joke - perhaps if you explain it to me, I will understand and wont take them too seriously....and chill out,

 

To me it seems like while you might be OK; pics like this feed the ones that already have a chip on their shoulder and you are doing them no favours.

It was meant as a humours picture. The picture is called 'whats the point' if you don't get it then there is no use me trying to explain it to you. It was not meant to be disrespectful or solicit feelings of racial tension.

Well for a race related post you talk about muslim / islam quite a lot instead of asian etc.

 

I have nothing against people practicing religion, but what does anoy me is the extreme aspects of religion, woman being supressed (in full black clothing) having to be in different rooms at parties being treated as second class citizens, its wrong and people like the suffragettes and Emily Pankhurst must be turning in their graves at what we are allowing. Our own beliefs and “religion” if you will is being compromised.

I agree old chap. That wasn't a nasty post and I too thought it amusing. Why anyone would get upset over that is beyond me. :blink:

You seem to be talking about some kind of British way of life. :sly:

 

Which is why I don't believe a multi-racial / multi-cultural society will work very well - it's literally impossible to cater for everyone as the opinions clash.

LOL, f*cking classic chip on the shoulder - reading into everything - trying to find the racist connection - paranoid - rubbish that you've been taught to look for by your peers, get on and enjoy your life rather than trying to get attention and better treatment by using your background to get it.

supressed in full black clothing? - every woman who chooses to dress like that does just that - out of choice... it maybe a symbol of supression for you but for her its not.

 

and segregated in diffrent rooms classes as second class citizens? mate ... if you look at the REASONING behind segregation of women and men you'll understand why it is like that - its a very broad area and to be honest - if i go into it i will be wasting my time as all you seem to be doing is playin out your own prejudice on here.... and FYI ... women and men are equal in islam . islam gave women the same power and authority as men over 1400 years ago - that same right was given to women less then 100 years ago in this country !!!

Extreme forms of it annoy me too - completely see where you are coming from and I hate it when people perform such archaeic practices in todays WESTERN society. Other societies are free to live how they choose, there is no need for us to impose our beliefs / way of life on them.

 

Don't tar us all with the same brush....

My peers, care to explain who they are and what they teach me?

I know it was meant to be humorous....you will note that all the women have different footwear & handbags :D
