Perhaps thats why Marnie wasn't punished (at least onscreen), her victim didn't care much either.

And there we have it.

We have now reached a point in civilisation where some people think that expressing your opinions about certain kinds of people is worse than physically assaulting someone.

I really despair.

True talk, If you spat at someone or in someones food and they called the police you could get arrested for assult.

Because you was unaware that words could cause offence before now?

Offence is taken, not given.

Let's place this in the outside world for a second. If I went in a boozer and said that I thought bisexuals were really gay and some of them brought aids over then I might offend some people but I sure as **** wouldn't be arrested.

Now what do you think might happen if I walked in the same boozer and spat on someone?

I think you're presuming this show is all about your opinions.. Your hierarchy of what is offensive isn't BBs guides to punishments, the sooner you learn this, the sooner you can move on. The victim of Marnie was not offended (no punishment), the victim of Aubrey was not offended (final warning), plenty of victims of Biggins were offended (at least three warnings, aka ejection). Your cry for 'what offends me the most' is irrelevant but its kinda cute that you disagree. see: Spotlight effect.

I have seen no evidence that anyone in the house was offended by Biggins' remarks.

Even Katie was very upset that he was leaving.

But even if they were offended, how is that some kind of indicator of who should be ejected? If you want to get rid of a housemate then you would just claim that you were offended by them.

And you keep saying yourself that Bear is upsetting and offending all of them and yet he hasn't been kicked out.

Why, it's almost as if BB isn't being fair and balanced.

I have never said bear is offending any of them. Seems like you're reaching. And its not all about the housemates when theres 2 million viewers. I know youre confused by all this, i dont have the time to go through in baby steps why the show hasnt gone completely your way since day one. Sorry. I can leave you with one of the rules though

Big Brother will intervene and may remove you from the house if you behave in an unacceptable way that could cause serious offence to any other Housemate or to the viewing public.

Biggins has offended communities outside of the house. marnies victim was not offended, Aubreys victim was not offended.

If Aubrey's victim wasn't offended then why did they give her a final warning?

Biggins hasn't offended anyone outside of the house. It is BB who broadcast his comments. If bisexuals (the poor flowers) are offended then that offence was caused by BB not biggins.

It is amusing to be accused of reaching by someone who, last night, exclaimed "you have too much time on your hands", while showing a post count that is 3 times mine.
