And yet again someone pushes the topic into a soapbox rant about their religion.

People can be good and lead decent lives without any religious belief. To suggest otherwise if offensive to many as well as very narrow-minded.

can i know why are you upset what is wrong?

i am not trying to make you or anyone else angry ... i am just disucssing issues with some educated people and with some unfair other people (sometimes) ...

we are simply talking

and i have no intention of being bad to anyone in this form specially you .. although i can't say you have been good to me in the past.

You lack of open mindedness and eduction is tiresome. I am putting you back on ignore and will continue to hope that you take your hypocritical comments elsewhere.

Oh dear, I thought we had come to turning point until you used the word 'before'... after that, it all goes a little 'Pete Tong'!!!!

You asked a question about the UK.
It has been answered many times.
You continually take almost every post and turn it into comments about your own religion or race.
You have already been warned once and yet you continue to pick posts apart and turn around words until they suit or do not suit your own opinion.
Yes - it is becoming very tiresome.

Beard Man

if you decided to remove me from the ignore list one day .. i would really love to know what hypocritical comments i have made in your opinion.. feel free to talk to me in pm or in any other thread and explain to me what you think i did or said and it was wrong and besure that i will not only answer back but also learn from you.

believe or not ... i do learn alot from you and the rest of people here.

MataHari

but people keep on posting and replying to his threads, so he must be doing something right....

Pete Tong!? Even I didn't get that one...don't think BM will either. I've been out of the UK for 25 years...missing so many new words, phrases and idioms...only found out last year what 'dog's bol...ks' meant ' - sounded like an insult to me yet 'twas the opposite.


Wiki:
"It's All Gone Pete Tong is a 2004 Canadian fictional independent mockumentary about Frankie Wilde (Paul Kaye), a DJ who goes completely deaf. The title is a reference to a rhyming slang phrase used in Britain in the 2000s, referring to the BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong, standing for "it's all gone wrong"

..most people like a good old intellectual argument (discussion?)...BM delivers !

Beard Man

is there any one complaining about my conversation with him/her?

i am simply talking to some educated people isn't that a fact??

and if religion is brought into the picture that is so normal because of my culture and my believes ... if some people on this board are living in my countery don't you think they would be interested in hearing how locals think and believe to come up with a better understanding to people around them??
don't you think this helps them over here??

have i insulted anyone?
do you think i am explaining my ideas and thoughts in a bad manner??

do we still have what is called (freedom of speech)

when someone talks to me isn't he expecting an answer back??
dosen't that mean he wants me to answer back?
and when he/she continue talking to me in a nice way.. isn't that an indication that they are happy?

MataHari

exactly...I don't really like the way L at V words her post...people in the ME by now know what BMs threads are like and they either reply or stay away...he's not doing any harm as far as I can see...

Meow

To me most of the response read as attempts to move him away from his uninformed religious bigotry...

MataHari

well, that's ok...not that it will work, just as it doesn't work the other way round either...

MacScot

...not so much "to move him away" but simply to enlighten him and provide alternative viewpoints to his faith-based view of the world, I'd say !

When BM first came on the ME Board...he stated he also wished to write better English and, after 1700 or so posts, I can see a huge improvement.

shakh your bootie

Yes, quite so. Those of us that enjoy engaging with him can continue to - it's not like he jumps into every thread {unlike some of us...!!!} - if you don't like his threads then don't read 'em. Simples.

Like it says on the back of every packet of Camel's - Choice.....
