Anything you want to add to the topic, or you want to talk about me some more (against the rules btw).

As it baiting - or does it only count when others do it? :hehe:

Can you two just stop replying to each other's posts, it's constant.

I think I can oblige there sheriff.

Honestly Brillo, I do feel the need to point out to you (and your regular defenders) that in this one post alone, you have used, with the clear intent to insult;

"PC people"
"PC brigade"
"PC bully"
"Bully"
"Left-wingers"
"Dictators"

And in your user title,

"Snowflakes"




I know you will probably fall back on "it wasn't me who started it" here, but honestly, I don't think at this point t you have a leg to stand on when you complain about being called racist. It's just ridiculous.

Anyone is entitled to believe that skin colour, sexuality and gender determines a person worth and anyone is entitled to take issue with that view. Having those kinds of views does make someone a bad person though because they are choosing to think of people as lesser human beings based not on merit but circumstances of birth, they're entitled to think that way but that doesn't make them any less of a ****ty human being.

I often find people who claim they are being shut down simply don't have the conviction to stand by their own views because not everyone universally agrees with them and praises them for having those views. They want freedom of speech to be a shield to protect them from alternate views to their own or criticism but that's not how it works.

People are as entitled to their offence as you are to say what you want. Nobody is saying you can't believe what you want to believe but ALL opinions come with consequences, if you can't handle criticism and see it as a way to shut people down then it's obvious you don't either understand what freedom of speech or you believe that not everyone is entitled to it.

If all it takes to shut down an opinion is criticism then people who feel that way must have no faith in their own thoughts and views.

Quite honestly I wouldn’t expect you to say anything different.

Indeed opinions and behaviours come with consequences and it is about time that those on both sides of the coin face those consequences.

People who have spoken out against racism, Homophobia, sexism and equality have faced the consequences of doing so for years. People have been killed for their views by others wanting to hold on to their hatred. Is that not enough for you?

If the biggest consequence you ever face for your views is somebody thinking that you are a racist then you should be thankful that it's an accusation you SHOULD be able to destroy easily if it's not true. Be thankful you live in an age where at worse, your views are looked on with just disgust and nothing more.

I'm only pointing out the facts; you are a name-caller who doesn't like being called names. You need to make a decision.

I think that people should be allowed to say what they want as long as it's not threatening violence, however I don't agree with any of those prejudices so I also am entitled to argue on the person who shares those views in a democratic society.

What hatred? There you go again with the hate. What are my views exactly - that I have issues with mass immigration and the wearing of Burkhas in Britain- what a hateful person that makes me. I shoud be strung up! What exactly have I said that deserves ‘anything more’?

‘Prejudices are prejudices, but peoples’ opinions are not prejudices just because you want them to be. That you think you can rationalise your hatefulness against a group of people behind some false prejudice label is disgusting and goes against every principle you claim to uphold.

Just because you have come to a conclusion on a group of people does not make it a universal truth. Closing the windows of discussion and opening a window of blind hate is prejudice in itself. And that is exactly the type of mentality that enabled people to behave so terribly to other groups in the past, be they African Americans, gays Jews, etc’.

Not my words - but so very true. Your opinions are not fact because you say they are and do not therefore justify your actions. You love to take the moral high ground and put labels on others in an attempt to shut down opinions to your views. Prejudice exists in all shapes and sizes but you attach that label to others in your futile attempt to control their opinions, or at least the expression of said opinions. It makes you no better and no different to what you accuse them off. So carry on revelling in the illusion of moral superiority - as it is just that an illusion.

When has anyone on tibb ever come to the conclusion that an entire group of people are racist? I've never seen that happen.

Couldn’t be all those blatantly stating or implying people on here are an ‘ist’ because they have different views to them on certain issues. Nope - absolutely impossible. Doesn’t happen - we must all just be imaging it.

I would say they are yes, but it helps if they own it and acknowledge their prejudice.

Exactly Mock, good to see you back,at last.

Definitely such hateful views should be challenged in any democratic society but also out of simple decency too.
Because such held hate and prejudices can and often are dangerous.

That's More about individuals than groups though? I've never seen anyone imply that any single group were all racists. That would be an insane comment to make. Do you have an example of a time that this happened? :suspect:

Who else on here has been called racist, though? Genuinely?

The group are those individuals, including myself, who have been called racist, bigot, homophobic, you name it, by those of the PC persuasion - ie considerably more than one person has been called racist on here, as you well know, as this is an issue that has been raised on many occasions. It is a problem. Don't try to make out it is just 'racist' me objecting to being called racist. You aren't convincing anyone - you do know that don't you!

Seriously! See my above post. It is not exactly uncommon and it is not only me that has been on the receiving end of it. We all know it.

Several different individuals who don't share the PC views or the way in which their views are interpreted or expressed = a GROUP. Not rocket science!

Who else, though? It's a simple enough question.

Who said no-one could argue about it - the issue is calling people racist, bigot, homophobe etc. Not the same I think you will agree as you come across as a reasonable person.

Unless someone says something blatantly offensive that to the majority of people was clearly prejudice, it is not a for any one person or small group of like-minded people to play judge and jury by firing insults at people.

But you have only been called racist on threads where you have done that. To my knowledge, you have NOT been called racist for simply posting arguments against immigration / religion etc. People have strongly disagreed with your views on those threads and questioned why you are so fearful, but no one has shouted "hey that's racist!". Except on threads where you have shown baseless racial stereotyping / made assumptions based on race.

Can you actually show any examples of times that you or anyone else has actually been accused of racism for questioning immigration? You keep saying that it happens, but I've yet to see even one example.

One thread that I recall I believed a mother had over-reacted to her son's school punishment of washing dishes as I believed she was a Muslim woman who would strongly disapprove of her son doing the washing up. String me up.

On reflection maybe I did jump the gun but no-one can, without doubt, label me based on that. Stuff and nonsense as if all the left-wingers on here are so damn perfect.
