are not racial comments personnal insults? - even if against an individual not a race? and i wasn't disagreeing with anything Joe said.
sikhs have been persucted for their religion for years... There are huge to differences between religous/racial prejudice and name calling. stop being so fucking stupid... Are you trying to tell me that someone calling someone a fat bastard is as harmful (social implications, not someones feelings) as calling someone a spear throwing nig nog? Your living on another fucking planet if you think it is.
I was offended by it because Rupy has to put up with racist shit everyday. His parents own a shop, and if they refuse to serve under age charvas, they get call Bin Laden lovers, Pakis, and especially plane hi jackers (just as pike was implying). That is so fucking ignorant, and just because of his skin colour people make assumptions. He's a Sikh for fucks sake, Sikh's fought for for the British in colonial times. His family are Ugandan Sikhs and were drove out the country by Adi Ammin (sp?). Calling him a plane hi-jacker is just like calling an Australian a dirty Yank - just assumptions made by skin colour.
for fuk sake kyle im sorry but you really dont need to explain this to me because frankly i couldnt give a shit. why be so serious its only a message board, all your serious comments arent going to make a difference to how any of us react to the situation take a chill (pill)
sasha this is a grown up thread, keep your juvenille playground patter for your usual threads (my breasts are too big/hehe I'm going to shag <insert name here/etc.). Don't hijack this thread with huh huh ur gay remarks thank you please
I couldn't give a flying fuck neither Sasha. I'm sitting here laughing at the whole situation amazed that this thread won't die. FUCKING DIE THREAD! :evil:
peoples motivation behind their prejudice is different, whether it be religious, ignorance, whatever - but they're still insulting people. and i'm not saying calling someone a pie-eater is on the same level as a race/colour comment - it's how they're taken by the indiviual thats at issue. some people feel it's ok to make offending comments "cause, they use them to each other, don't they?" still don't make it right for everyone.
it was initially a thread about amsterdam, seems fair enough posting a picture of someone wrecked after returning from there.
he didn't look that wrecked to me. maybe a bit tired and in need of a bit of gel for his hair. i missed the point i guess.
I blame Pike, he's a provocative twat. He blatently pushes the buttons then sits back laughing at the fall out
he wasn't laughin at this one too much i don't think personally think this has been one of the best threads i've read since i started usin message boards. no1 has got too upset (apart from 1or2 maybe) and there's been some belta debates and discussions.
