I, contrary to what some seem to believe, don't have anyone on ignore and never have. I simply choose to ignore what certain posters say, which avoids an awful lot of pointless bollocks.
Well, I use this board for entertainment rather than a crucible for serious dialectic. And I don’t expect, or particularly want, to change anyone’s mind about anything. The people I have on ignore, unless they have changed their approach radically, and I can’t be arsed to look, don’t actually have any arguments.
My apologies Col, I had assumed you had me on ignore due to your total lack of response to anything I post on any subject, not just politics. I do my best not to respond to certain people on the politics thread as well, but too often fail. I'm happy to engage with them on other topics, though. Now you've said you don't have me on ignore, I shall resume responding to your posts, if that's ok with you. That is what the board is for, after all.
As long as posters engage on the football threads. Forgot what gets said on here Stroller. This site is about QPR football and if people think that a politics thread is what this forum is about... They are in the wrong place. I may not agree with some on politics but I never let that affect my discussions on football.
This is what I find a bit odd about the stance taken by Col and Stan. I can understand people not wanting to engage with certain others on politics, but why decide to ignore (either by will power or by using the tech) everything a certain poster might have to say about football, cricket or any other topic?
Agree I can be a pain in the butt sometimes and I won't always agree with other posters but I would never let that spill onto another thread. Never.
Why do you ask? Is it not PC to acknowledge that a lesbian is a lesbian, a Gypsy/Romany/traveller is a Gypsy/Romany/traveller or a bouncer a bouncer. None of those terms have similar derogatory connotations to the name Paki as opposed to Pakistani. I'm sure we'd all like to know so that we don't offend someone unintentionally..
white heterosexual British man assaults, murders and ****s corpses https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...dering-two-women-and-sexually-abusing-corpses so you wouldn’t find it odd for me to put the above to accompany this recent article?
Nonsense woke argument. 85% of England is white, probably 90% are hetrosexual, so perpetrators aren't described in this way in the media. Minorities are, because their numbers are few enough to be categorised. It could be students, it could be pensioners. If an Eskimo runs down Fleet Street and skewers someone with his harpoon, do you honestly think the media should report this as "man injures someone in road" ?
Rotherham *****phile ring. Men shout anti-Semitic naughty things to bus full of Jews. We have to use our imagination to fill in the blanks sometimes, Wills. Works both ways, doesn’t it, Goldie? (PS I wouldn’t have a problem with a headline along the lines that Wills parodies just as long as it’s factually correct and every other headline is consistently so.)
Every time someone from the LGBTQ community commits a crime or do something negative people such as you as demonstrated on this thread will always mention their sexuality as part of it as though it’s a contributor yet it’s not when it’s committed by a heterosexual, how can sexuality or gender identity only be relevant to a certain demographic ? especially as heterosexual men commit a disproportionate amount of crime, especially violent and sexual crime, compared to the wider demographic. If someone from the LGBTQ community does something amazing and mentions it they are ramming down people’s throats, despite every member of the LGBTQ community will have suffered because of how some will treat them, which heterosexuals and cis gendered people, including myself haven’t had to overcome for our sexuality or gender identity. Seems a touch unfair surely? it doesn’t take a genius to work out what people are doing here, ****rags like the mail have been doing it about foreigners for decades. Find a bogeyman to demonise blame so you don’t have to take a real reflection on those who are committing the most destructive, the vast majority and disproportionate at that, of societies ill’s. We still live in a nation where a husband and wife can walk down the street hand in hand and nothing is said or done, however if that’s a homosexual couple, sooner or later, most likely sooner, they will suffer aggression either verbally or physically, most will have suffered both. I think @qprbeth would back me up on that. And it’s no surprise when as I’ve demonstrated for members of the LGBTQ community their sexuality and gender identity is constantly put out as a factor of negativity. Some will call it woke, but if treating people equally and showing respect regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or gender identity is woke I’m happy to be woke rather than wanting to **** on someone because they are a bit different to me.
