You reported someone for their personal opinion about religions being cults and now you say that about a respected forum member.

I don't bother with the whole reporting crap your posts should stay in the public domain for everyone to see what your like.

Ive been on here for 4 years.

Love it....If I could I would do anal with it.

Anyway wheres that post you were talking about people telling me to leave a thread?

A lot of this is missing the point that it is a back-covering exercise by BB.

Had they NOT issued a warning, there would be a multitude of complaints to Ofcom.

From their point of view it is better to issue the warning and put up with (i.e. ignore!) a few whinges on the internet!

[erinp5]

Stupid thing to say in response to someone covering their head.

Big Ron will leave the BB house on final night as the winner.

Islam isn't a race - in my opinion it is a cult like Buddhism/Roman Catholicism/Judaism.

Well done! In my opinion all religions are cults.

Obviously, that's not an acceptable comment but he's from a different time.

I know, that's not a real excuse but for people of this generation being sensitive to other cultures and PC is ingrained in our heads - it's second nature.

The older generations have had to adapt themselves to it when the other way of thinking and speaking was already their nature. I don't think Ron is malicious in his comments - he's just ignorant and naive.

It's tough - I think the warning was the right way to go though

Doesn't everyone have negative thoughts? Doesn't everyone blurt out nonsense from time to time?

What's it matter what he says in the privacy of his own home as long as he isn't inciting hatred?

Which he is entitled to do. How do we know what you think about in the privacy of your own home? Are you trying to control and legislate against people's thoughts now?

This post is pure stupidity IMO.Who are you to tell anybody what they are allowed to think or say "in the privacy" of their own home?Moronic.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

People these days hear a word.... Think, ooh that's a bad word and might be offensive even though im not offended I must complain to Ofcom which then makes that caller a racist....FACT.

Religious/Racial words can be used any in type of cotent or situation where racism is 90% not the intention of those words being spoken.

Just banter.

Wrong.

Offensively stereotyping muslims as terrorists isn't 'just banter'.

I can picture him now in the privacy of his home or with fellow racists making highly offensive statements about Blacks, Muslims , Polish or anyone who isn't what he deems to be....WHITE.

What a caveman...a real neanderthal.

Furthermore..BB have really messed up with the 'warning's this year...e.g

1) Gina should have recieved a final warning for that disgusting 'race' card she pulled within five seconds of an argument she
was losing with Jemima and instead warned Jemima!!

2) Carol Mcgiffin warned for repeating a bad word when she was merely describing what happend and then bb themselves repeating it!

You missed the ones about how Gina and Dexter should have received warnings for their sexist comments. Both racism and sexism are covered under the equality laws - both are discrimination.

he hasn't been physically removed because that would be a gross over reaction.

He clearly didn't intend offence. A warning was fair enough. Now he knows that joke crosses the line for what you can say on national television.

That's the whole problem..there dosen't seem to be any acknowledgement that what he said is wrong...just a ticking off like a child ...crosses the line???

you mean he should keep his his nasty views but just be careful when to use them?!!?!?

Well, no. I'd much rather he abandon such thinking altogether. But it is not the job of Celebrity Big Brother to re-educate people nor to fight the good fight against racism. It's an entertainment show. It has certain responsibilities and one of them is ensuring racist language and humor is not used within the house.

A lot of people engage in such humour without really considering what it is they're actually saying with their jokes. Challenging that humour is good (imo) and healthy. Pillorying someone for lazy stereotyping and unintended offence is less helpful. Better to explain why it is offensive and then let them ponder that.

People don't change their minds on something because you go in hard, They change their minds because you give them compelling reasons to do so.
