    And allowing significant black immigration into Ireland would not be wise unless you want problems. That's an opinion, (SteveC) and I invite you to discuss it.

    What a dumb opinion. "Blacks" - well there's a heck of a lot of those guys and gals. And blacks where? Africa? America? Brazil? Britain? France? What is he basing this on?
    I've no doubt it's probably the case in a big American city like, say, Chicago. Did he ever consider the reasons why black people are more likely to commit crime than white people? That maybe it's a bit more complicated than simply that "they're black"? Reasons such as: poverty, racial discrimination (e.g. police/courts being harsher on black people than on white people), black people's history still having an effect on the black psyche today etc.

    Because people whose username rhymes with laughable have dumb opinions. No I don't have any proof to back that up with.

    One to be going on with. It's generally common knowledge, though I'm sure the UK is so PC I won't be surprised if the true statistics won't be allowed out these days.

    I've elaborated my post.

    Is there anything backing up those claims?

    It's on the Internets you damn fool! What more do you need?! THE INTERNETS!!!!1!


    Users with usernames beginning with the letter 'A' are more likely to be stupid and cause trouble. They should be banned from After Hours. Discuss.

    I'll try and find you some more stats.

    That's a post on another forum... and it doesn't back up how the statistics were collected either.

    Oh yes, you've been so HARSHLY treated, because of course all that trolling shyte you posted was a series of valid, carefully thought out opinions, not gibberish designed to piss people off at all. Oh no.

    Poverty-cause and effect are hard to determine here. Think about WHY they are poor. Perhaps they are poor because they are of the kind of feckless disposition that goes along with criminality.

    Racial discrimination-there are laws dealing with that. If anything the balnce is probably tipped in their favour.

    As for history-that's just a pitiful excuse.

    See post #10, you damn fool.


    Boston: hmmmm... I wonder what happens when one adds 6,413 entries to a forum ban list... I'll have to get AlmightyCushion demodded first :)

    And that's simply because of their colour?

    Again, where are these "blacks"? All over the world is it? My god what a study!

    Perhaps you could try and be more objective rather than just instantly hating me for saying something un-PC.

    Theres house directly across the road from me full of blacks. There just trouble.
    I suspect you'd be voting No on the Lisbon treaty?

    All over the world. And yes, why shouldn't it be linked to race. Humans evolved physical differences so why shouldn't they have evolved behavioural/psychological ones too.

    Oh, I don't hate you. I was agreeing with you. Why do you hurt those who lurv you? why?! WHY?! Is it something in your history?

    As for history-that's just a pitiful excuse.
    You dismissed it, ergo, it's dismissed completely and clearly irrelevant. Damn, you're good. You're no radio DJ hack! You're a political mastermind! To hell with the dissenting fools!

    Its not that it is un pc it is that it is illogical and narrow minded.

    I don't think anyone is attacking you for being unpc. It has more to do with the fact that you have yet to offer a grounded argument of basis for your accusations. There is ample evidence to back up what you say like there is ample evidence that contradicts it.

    Well I was digging up the garden the other day and my face was covered in mud and dirt. I did feel like killing a load of people so it could be.

    That isn't a very reputable source. Also some of those "stats" are for crimes by black against whites (and the reverse). What does it matter that the crime was against someone of a different race? If someone robs my house it doesn't make the crime less severe just because it is done by someone of the same race as me?
