Whilst I agree with your sentiment it's not always possible. People don't always have the time (or inclination for whatever reason) to get into big conversations to support their short and concise answers. That doesn't make someone a racist (or substitute whatever pre-conceived idea).

Not sure what you are referring to but in my case I was unable to get into any big convo with you cos I was on my way to work. This meant you kept coming back for a bite and getting mre argumentative. Whilst this doesn't bother me personally (Mods have thick skin) I could see how this winds people up especially as your posts were becoming more and more inflamatory on the strength of it. This goes back again to your *perception* of what was being said as opposed to the reality of the situation

Anyways, we've exhausted this and flogged it to death mate. You do realise it's an anti climax for the people shouting "fight, fight, fight" on the sidelines

Peace be with you Sista, S'all good

...or you just made it all up for effect?

Really?
There is plenty that scares the crap out out me and I'd take a small bet on my comprehensive school in Moss Side, being that bit tougher than an all girls school.

whilst I agree with some of the stuff said by you (ie LOW and Lezzachops) about prejudice etc, I think a lot of your posts were very insulting......

I'm sticking with me barbie chums
Go the 'tards!!!

This is one of those times that I realize it's too early in the am to start at the last post and read backwards.

Go get a cuppa mate

.......then unsubscribe

It is a bit like the united nations in here honey, certainly confusing but good for a giggle

Only without the simultaneous translation, unfortunately.

No nice building in New York, either.

thats where imagination kicks in....or the drugs

That gives revealing insight into how you think. Sounds exactly like something you'd do, that and trying to kick off a fight (again) in a thread where everybody had just buried the hatchet.

Oh no...not again

It's nearly my bed time....

Like Leslie says......can't we do a mass love in instead

Riots here in the UK?........the recent events were a wee bit tame compared with past riots on the streets of England......as that which took place in England 192 years ago yesterday - on 16 August 1819.......in the centre of Manchester......the Peterloo Massacre. No half measures back then - bring in the militia to sort the buggers out. You'd be surprised how many people calling in to radio phone-ins here in the UK since last week's events said that similar methods to deal with those looters and arsonists and common criminals should have been brought into action.

You wouldn't believe just how much publicity the bloody awful, crappy luvvy lefty (Biased) British Broadcasting Corporation is giving to the pronouncements of the limp wristed spokespersons (BBC speak) of the Loony Left, to which the BBC gives far too much air time, that far too many of the judicial sentences being imposed in the courts on those found guilty of criminal offences are "too harsh, too tough!"! Apparently the "human rights" of the thieving, looting, cop bashing, violent, yobbish, scumbag rioters are being ignored and disregarded..........effin' hell!

This one did seem harsh - Two men jailed for four years for posting messages inciting riots although no trouble resulted from them.

The BBC have a duty to present BOTH sides of the story, and they do that very well. They have by far the most balanced analysis of any major news organisation. Apparently, given the tone of your posts on this matter, perhaps you'd be better off in the USofA with FOX News.

I don't agree with the idea that the current sentences are too harsh, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't get to hear about it, or listen to what other people may think about the issue. As for the idea that we should have deployed troops (or water cannon, or baton rounds), it's not a very "British" way of doing things. One of this country's strengths has always been the consensus policing method. Long may it continue - even in the face of the kind of provocations we saw last week.

Thank gawd we have your voice to counteract the outrageous BBC, eh?
