    Bye Felicia with you bs article dressed up as fact

    Felicia, like the NWA movie!? I'd say you were ''excited'' watching that particular film.

    There are no definitions yet as it's fairly recent slang. But here ya go anyway. 100's of Google hits are a little bit more reliable than some little own-race-hating sad case.

    Google Gammon Slur Definition

    No, its not a racial slur

    It is. And end of the road you're a snivelling little hypocrite thanking that. You'd be up in arms if anyone said the slur paki is just an abbreviation of Pakistani.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how an obvious racist, with self-hating tendencies, derails a thread.

    Hahaha you are comedy gold .

    Imagine trying to complain, you'd have a series of idiots queuing up to call you a racist.

    It's exactly what happened. The BOM are fearful of being brought up for being racist.
    Same as what happens bullying if the perpetrator is muslim, nothing is done for fear of reprisals.

    I don't mind the refugees coming to Ireland, but certain criteria should be in place.
    They should have to integrate, this isn't happening, both with refugees, but with other eastern European cultures that arrived during the boom. Only shop in their shops, they go home for dental treatment, scans, and work, yes, work.
    They should not get priority on housing lists, medical lists or otherwise.
    I live near a facility that holds asylum seekers etc. Their
    kids go to school with mine, the majority are Muslim.
    Kids Xmas concert this year, Little Donkey not allowed, a parent complained about Bethlehem being in it. In fact no religious songs allowed at all, in a Catholic primary school.
    The 3 little pigs are not allowed as a story to junior infants, a Muslim family complained as they consider the pig to be dirty and should not beat the wolf.

    We are bending over too much for foreign visitors.
    You live in Rome, you do as the Romans do....
    If I go to a foreign country I have to abide to their beliefs and traditions and culture, same should apply when people visit/live here.

    I call bullsh/y on this crap

    'Gammon' is not a racist term. The intent behind its usage is to offend the target, based not on the colour of their skin, but on their attitudes. It's certainly dehumanising and I wouldn't be fond of throwing it around in an argument (any more than SJW, libtard, snowflake, etc), but describing it as 'racist' (and drawing ludicrous equivalence between it and the word 'Paki') ignores the fact that racial abuse is connected to wider structures of violence, dis-empowerment and oppression, and not merely about hurt feelings.

    This is boards.ie, you don't have to actually say anything racist to be called a racist. Or haven't you noticed?

    Forty migrants, including two children, have been rescued from boats in five separate incidents on Christmas Day in the English Channel.


    https://www.rte.ie/news/2018/1228/1019344-libya-migrants-spain/
    Nearly 70 people have been intercepted in the past three days as they try to reach England by crossing one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

    What is the craic with the increase in migrants crossing the English channel ?
    Why are they escaping from one developed country to another?

    Remember the dead baby on the beach plastered all over the news? People said that a family/parent would never try a dangerous sea crossing with their kids unless it was absolutely necessary. Well this nonsense in the channel blows that out of the water.

    Why arent the Syrians in another similar culture where they can assimilate relatively easily, where western donations will go ten times further. You would swear Ireland had money to burn and didnt have an accommodation crisis

    A very good question. Isn't it funny how Sunni Islam hotspots like Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt refuse to take in these immigrants during these "humanitarian disasters".

    Donald Trump kinda had it right when he talked about other cultures laughing at modern America and Europe The Western World, with its butter soft Liberalism.....is a key target for mass immigration.



    Donald Trump was right. Not only do countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey not take in these people...........

    .....but people from that part of the world view the West, particularly Liberal Europe as a joke. You may think you are a compassionate, considerate and charitable Liberal.....but guess what there is no reprocity whether you like it or not

    THESE PEOPLE VIEW EUROPE AS A JOKE .. THERE TO BE EXPLOITED N EVERY WAY CONCEIVABLE


    Pat yourself on the back Leftists.....
    .but in reality..... hardened Muslims laugh behind your back while they have designs on Europe.

    WAKE UP LIBERALS.... YOU ARE ABOUT TO DESTROY EUROPE WHILE YOUR ENEMIES LAUGH AT YOUR NAIVETY

    Yet the posters that call others Gammon would probably go ape**** if they were labelled NPCs.

    Apparently most of the migrants crossing the channel are Iranian and they arrived via Serbia after the Serbian government granted visa free travel between the two nations.They look more like tourists than migrants.

    These people are economic migrants pure and simple and if they get into trouble on the crossing, tough **** they should be left there.
