    Probably be banned for even raising the subject, But why can you not like certain sections of society, Gay's Black's Traveller's etc. I don't dislike any person/group but if I did, I would be slated as being Racist etc...Can you see my point ?

    There's no way of saying this that doesn't sound patronising (that's when you talk down to people), but if you dislike a group of people, based solely on their race... well, that's the very definition of racism, isn't it?

    I will never give up my right to despise people who misuse apostrophes.

    Why would you dislike an an entire section of society based on the colour of their skin, their sexuality or their choice of accommodation/lifestyle?

    It kind of goes like this - if you dislike all gay people/blacks/travellers then you are a bigot and probably some form of idiot. Alternatively, if your neighbour is a gay black traveller who stole your TV and banged your wife then feel free to dislike that individual person, regardless of what group in society they come from.

    I agree OP
    Nowadays it is seen an being racist, homophocis, intolerant, etc, to express an opinion that is deemed any way negative about ANY group of people.

    A colleague of mine (from China) says that she continues to be amazed at how we (in the West) are terrified of offending any group/race/cult/nationality and bend over backwards to accommodate.

    Personally, I hold very strong (probably negative) opinions about certain, lets call them 'groups'. They are based on my own experience with such people and as such I believe I am justified in holding these opinions. Are they generalisations is some cases? Possibly, yes.

    No

    How many of each group have met?

    How many of those have you got to know in any depth?

    No no, it's dole-scrouning gay black midget travelers.

    Try harder OP. It's easy once you get the hang of it.

    I think you're mixing them up with the Syrian SJWs who are simultaneously taking all our jobs and lazing around soaking up the dole.

    I actually can't dislike anyone anymore, don't have the energy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,430 ✭✭✭RWCNT


    Just keep your prejudices a secret from everyone and get up to your evil shyte behind closed doors. I have a room in my gaff with a ****load of Nazi memorabilia and im keeping a bunch of gay travellers as slaves on the hush.

    I'm guessing this is a reaction to me closing your other thread.

    Also, can't say you weren't warned about stupid threads.
