I think there is something that COULD be done actually, and its not really rocket science
We go back to what the meaning of “equality” used to mean before left wing academia got hold of it, we treat everyone of every colour the same and stamp out modern racism in the form of positive discrimination, favouritism of ethnic minorities…

Spltting hairs is all we can do here though. Whichever way you look at it, there’s always a different yet valid way of countering it – there is no way of saying ‘what’s the big deal?’ or ‘she really shouldn’t have said that’ without a backlash of ‘why, exactly?’
My understanding, from a young age, is that it’s a racist term. My understanding now…[Read more]

I could understand it a bit more if it was a hugely significant case (murder, child abuse etc. Which A-listers get away with anyway) with far reaching consequences but it’s as far removed from that as possible.
Sadly you’re right, folk would rather know what Paris Hilton or someone else famous for being famous is up to than hear about what used…[Read more]

I don’t use the term spastic to describe other disabled people cos I know how hurtful it is to be bullied by people who don’t know any better. It doesn’t bother me now cos I had to learn to rise above it and that’s my way of dealing with it, either that or allow myself to be dragged down by people I considered ignorant (bullies) Note – I am not…[Read more]

Monkey see, monkey do – in other words ‘because I saw someone else do it, it must mean that I can do it’ Never mind the fact that what you’ve seen the other person do might not be seen as acceptable. Isn’t that showing ignorance to the situation? I can see both sides to the arguement – my personal experiences as being ‘different’ in the eyes of…[Read more]

You dont condone the freedom to speak, when what is said is not meant to intentionally offend, and doesn’t offend?
Freedom to speak is fair enough. It’s the ignorance to the fact that these things are a sensitive issue I don’t condone. For instance, I’m registered disabled (even though there…[Read more]

I think they are covering their backs. The N word has been alleged to have been used before on BB (BB5 – Emma & Victor) but there wasn’t this sort of furrore.
I don’t condone it and I think she is guilty of being naive rather than racist, but they are making an example cos they have to now.

It all depends on who we’d be drawn with I suppose, and there’s also the fact that we wouldn’t be able to afford ourselves a blip here and there which I see as a major stumbling block as we are still quite prone to making things difficult when really they shouldn’t be. But we’ve got a good, largely young squad. I was a bit stunned when he got the…[Read more]

I think Scotland have qualification as good as sorted now. Probably sounds a bit over confident but the only tough game I see is France away. At home, I fancy our chances against anyone.
England v Scotland at Euro 2008 perhaps?

Cheers for that, Bat. Gave me a bit of a laugh anyway! The whole thing becomes more farcical by the day and it really shouldn’t.
Just how close is ‘very’ close? How regular is ‘regularly’? They’re trying to justify it by defending it and that’s probably the reason why there is the suspicion. I refer you to one of my previous posts, a newspaper…[Read more]

I see the German media caused a bit of a stir in the ‘Team McCann’ camp. The parents were forced to deny their involvement in the abduction which I’m torn over.
On one hand, there are bound to be people who believe that there is more to this than meets the eye and that the parents know more than they’re letting on and will most likely applaud the…[Read more]
