No. I’m not being arrogant or aggressive Chutters - I’m just not being particularly deferential and overrespectful towards you in the manner you might be used to.
I try and speak to people on this forum at the same level I would anyone else - eye to eye and with directness and sincerity - and on that point - I still honestly haven’t got a clue what you’re after or what you’re advocating.
You want the Mail and the Sun and all those agenda-driven papers to report the news responsibly? Welp, I thought Harry Potter could have had a few more dragons and vampires thrown in. What point is being made? That the Sun and Mail are contemptible shitrags but because they have a wide readership they’re actually quite influential? And that’s really shit?
Er, yeah. I agree. Now what?
This is just a case of ‘Old Man Yells At Cloud’ a la the Neymar transfer.
You do make me laugh, I have to admit. You seem to expect rather a lot from a web forum where much of its purpose is to vent some spleen and ‘shout at clouds’ - maybe its the impatience of youth that you want immediate answers to everything, or that everyone MUST have an answer when a lot of what is posed here is rhetorical… To keep it simple, i dont expect the rags to do anything else, but when presented with a scenario whereby Barry is presenting his usual, at best xenophobic, and at worst racist, senitment masqueraditing as ‘serious debate’ suggesting its ‘bleeding heart liberals’ who are failing to report the racial and cultural motivations behind these crimes, its a fair counter to suggest that its not about being Liberal. Its about appreciating the implications of how something is reported. I repeat , being sensitive in this is not being liberal, its being responsible. Sadly not many outlets act in that way.
The fact that our media does not give a shit, is part of the problem in this country as it puts a polite face on ignarance, xenophobia and in some cases plain racism. That is my opinion… an observation, it does not require me to want anything but maybe wish the media who were actually free and not driven predominently by a right wing owners and their agendas… so no amount of you going on and on about in a bit of a teenage tantrum demanding ‘what I want’ is going to get you anywhere.
You lost me again when you talked of ‘soft’ rape laws and then again by even mentioning male ‘pain’ when having sex with someone who is asleep… I may be a boring old windbag, but even I would be embarrased about those two comments…
Stop using that percentage Mr T. You must know it’s not true. Yesterday you posted that 21% were not ethnically identified. If you refuse to accept any are white, you’re Barry.
Where? Please quote some of them please otherwise its defamation, don’t worry I am not a liberal and not easily offended, whiny and don’t suffer from mock shock indignation.
It has gone on since I came on here, a liberal doesn’t like what they’re reading and they throw out the race card and start calling me racist, where? And what post? How can the easily offended be allowed to throw such dirty and low accusations without foundation? Is that fair in a tolerant society, it seems to me they’re intolerant fascist pricks.
You are even called the resident Sotonions racist by someone on a different forum. That should give you a clue. It has nothing to do with not liking what is read. It is your agenda and the way you try and dress it up.
