    Hi,
    Sorry if this has been asked b4

    I was wondering if their is some group I could contact about a person who has put up extremely offensive comments about the Eurovision winner and gay people in general on Facebook?

    I know I can report them to Facebook. But would rather do something further. It's so offensive

    Unless they are advocating violence I don't think you can do anything, in particular as the verbal abuse isn't being directed at you.

    Best thing to do if you feel very strongly is unfriend them online and in real life and tell them why. It's hard (I've lost friends this way) but in the long term it might be best.

    Go here

    http://www.nohatespeechmovement.org/hate-speech-watch

    Also take screenprints if you can and upload them

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    You'll always get the same discontent group of people on any issue that isn't a 'nice, safe' sort of thing. I wouldn't pay heed to it but at the same time the more scathing remarks should be noted.
