It's strange these days, grassing was always seen as a bad thing but now everyone is looking to shaft someone by filming them and putting it online, those Lycra wearing pricks with the head cams are the worst for it, never stop at lights themselves but a car driver makes a mistake and that's it confrontation, next thing, million views on YouTube.

To be fair, we got the comic goldmine of Ronnie Pickering from such a situation.

What's the worst I'm gonna get called? Cracker? Honky? So what, I'm not racially oppressed. Manners don't cost.

Grilling Machine wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 19:00 It does look like provocation, but you shouldn't call anyone those things in this day and age. Because whether or not the recipient's hurt (probably a baiting shite, aye), you're encouraging the division in society that affects innocents. Most of whom probably aren't offended by her comments — that's on her, but they might well be if we defend them.

There are hundreds of other terms of abuse, so why go for those? It's the same as narrowing abuse of black people down to racist language when the situation has nothing to do with that; with narrowing abuse of Muslims down to terrorist terms, and so on. If the Bellews are today's John Fashanus they've no excuses, and none of us should condone it. Being a man isn't about how much you can take personally, writing off those who can't, it's about how well you treat those around you.

We'd all forgive her totally if she'd called him almost anything else. So why didn't she? I'd say because she wanted to use the most hurtful language (doesn't guarantee she's homophobic), and by choosing those words she revealed an ugly side. It's fine to call that out, and to reflect on why such words are among our most offensive.

Don’t think anyone is defending what she said, just saying that there’s much better ways of dealing with things than running straight off to sell the story to the tabloids.

Not saying It's an issue for me, but I heard a women on the radio today saying that her religious values are not in line with that way of thinking, and who is concerned about her religious views?

Why would any pudendum ever say that to someone?

Because her "religious" values are demonising others. LGBT aren't threatening other groups with their way of life.
If you're not gay then what is there to accept? That other people live differently to you?

I'm not concerned with defending an individual or groups views that involve hatred towards a certain group of people, especially if their main reason is an understanding of a book that's hundreds of years old.
