Charming, POP.
Some people I dare say but not this one so please do not suggest it.
On reflection what’s the point of conversing with people who give what you give?
You need to have words with yourself.

Rc - to be fair, my initial response was to JC. You maybe think it was aimed at you. Though your "ooh, that's provocative" line was there to be answered. I'm not responsible for you being provoked or not.

I thoroughly recommend that R4 prog I mentioned to all.
As open minded as I am I draw the line at brick walls.
Ta ta.

Just received a text off Nish, he's most disappointed at the lack of questions, but he'll open himself up for another day, deadline at 7pm again tomorrow.

I watched him because I was giving the bloke a chance.
Yes i’ve Seen mash report and been appalled by it but hey, I have an open mind and do actually see some charm in the man.
Perhaps he has an open mind too and may one day see the errors of his ways and change his act.
Not holding my breath though.

Aka, do you make judgements and stick with them through hell or high water?

Dear me Just imagine being sat at the Apollo being surrounded by 100s of  Porcupines or Pineapples

However I have been told many times that I must have a degree in sarcasm

Were they all stroking their chin when they said this?

LOL, Mouse.
Perhaps I didn’t detect the emphasis on each word too.

Wounded knee,
In the light of recent events in Romford and elsewhere do you still find that funny?

YEP Scouse skum

Aka,
Can you explain where you determined that I was upset.
Never get upset on here.
I think I asked you a question which you did not answer.
Waiting with bated breath. (Is that bated or baited? Bated I think)

Don't think he's ever said anything slightly amusing let alone funny.

So don't watch him. Simple. The oracle has spoken.

Up until your question that was everything I'd posted and I'm struggling to see what you were getting at.

If you consider my comment an over reaction then I am sorry.
It was a reflex reaction to a statement that smacked of being from a closed mind.

hows the scouser to$$er who tried to give it down the DEN but got sliced up with his own blade

Even as a West Ham fan I thought the media couldn't wait to put all the blame on Millwall just to support the narrative

No problem RC, happens to us all.

My post wasn't sarcastic.

HtH.

True enough.

Was having a chat about this the other day really. Think it's a generational thing and hopefully the widespread emboldening of racists is soon to die off naturally.

Fact is during the 70s and 80s attitudes were different. Alf Garnett, Jim Davidson, Bernard Manning etc etc were mainstream TV presences. Likewise, a woman's job was to be pretty and flirty with the guy old enough to be her dad. We had Page 3 girls, Dolly Dealers and every game show had a girl on who's job was little more than to smile coyly to the camera. So, you had a whole generation of adults who would come home from work, sit on the couch, and have this reflected back to them. I feel it's hardly their fault if they are used to treating women as objects and black and Asian people as different. It was their normal.

But that generation is dying off.

Not that this generation's media is perfect. I believe Page 3 girls still exist don't they, though obviously circulation is way down and they're not promoted as in the past where Sam Fox, Linda Lusardi et al were simply famous for getting their whaps out. We have other problems with reality tv, and people thinking their route to success is through doing something stupid or outrageous. But I think definitely in terms of race, the media is much healthier nowadays. And I think in general the younger generations are far less racist than before. You're going to get your few knuckle heads and idiots who are convinced their lack of success comes from the family down the road not their failure to get a single GCSE but in general things are a lot better.

We need more controls on social media as that is the channel that some people are trusting as their primary news source way too much and there is no filter or editorial control there. Looks like they are slowly realising it and governments need to hold them accountable for their content, exactly as a newspaper or tv channel is responsible for the content their journalists present.

I think that's one of the biggest challenges we're facing right now. Certain politicians have been too busy figuring out how to use this lack of regulation to their advantage rather than focusing on the wellbeing of society but it does look like things might be changing.



So yeah, I'm a human being. I do get a bit disgusted by racists and idiots. I'll try to be less impolite if I can. And hopefully we'll all be in a healthier place soon.

Don’t trust so called politically correct people like pineapple
I heard him refer to an older woman as a ***** ( I don’t want to use the word )simply because she expressed concerns about immigration
He’s a hypocrite

Anyone who can use the word that pineapple used about an elderly woman tells you all you need to know about pineapple and people like that
It’s disgusting  and disgraceful

tut tut , people have lost their jobs and had lives ruined for using terminology like that , because of people like pineapple
and now he had the gall to laugh it off , he’s a hypocrite
