What the hell does that mean? Should they be allowed to "spread the jihad" as long as it's only Jews they're targetting?

They are. Here's just three examples I got in thirty seconds of searching: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6191966.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6235279.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1966839.stm Needless to say, there's no great national conspiracy against white people. That world only exists inside Richard Littlejohn's head.

Black people don't have more rights than white people. They have the same rights. Abolishing racial-hatred laws wouldn't decrease racism either, it'd encourage it. Getting rid of the punishment for hate crimes would be like declaring open season on ethnic minorities.

So entire ethnicities are out to get us, are they? Funny, I get along quite well with people of all creeds and colours. Maybe it's because I don't think that their entire race is acting the fool. That could be it.

I think the tipping point when that topic went from being totally embarrassing to completely retarded was when someone posted "why are blacks obsessed with gang culture?".

This'll be a fun vent. In the first year of Uni, I lived with a complete nutjob. At first, it was just little things like leaving her dishes in the sink and not washing them. That was kinda annoying, but not life threatening. Then she moved on from that to using other people's cutlery and taking other people's food. More annoying. After that, she stepped up the pace. Her room was above mine, and she used to listen to her one CD - Celine Dione's "My Heart Will Go On" - for hours at a time, while she danced to it. Dancing so hard, in fact, that the light fitting on the ceiling in my room fell out. Despite being told to cut it out, she persisted. Then we got into the really grim territory. We discovered that she had incredibly poor hygiene skills - she kept leaving massive floaters in the bog, the toilet was left filled with blood whenever she had the painters in, and she left drips of blood on the floor going from the bathroom to her room. This was capped off by her leaving a sanitary towel on the radiator. A used sanitary towel, no less. I came up with the theory that she was trying to dry it out and use it again. We confronted her about it and told her that not only was it disgusting, it's also massively unhygienic and dangerous to do shit like that. She went to the halls staff and told them we'd been bullying her. Goon. She would also blank people whenever she came into the room - even if you said hi, she wouldn't respond. I'm amazed she managed to make it that far in life without falling under a bus. Currently, one of the girls I'm living with is similarly socially handicapped. She's a real attention seeker - mine and another flatmate's rooms are next to the kitchen, and she'll give us a running commentary whenever she goes in there if our doors are open. It's quite an often occurence to hear "Oooh, what will I have, I'm so hungy, whoops, dropped a fork, clumsy me" or the strains of her wonderfully off-key singing floating through from the kitchen. She'll also wander around the house in her underwear, which doesn't have the desired effect when she's got more tires than a Kwik Fit garage. She's another one who's seemingly never washed a dish in her life, as she always piles the sink high with her dirty dishes (and other people's that she's used as well). She also never clears food off her plate before dumping it into the sink - the plug's usually blocked with noodles, beans or other food. Add to that she always leaves the door open whenever she goes to the bathroom - I've lost count of the number of times that I've walked upstairs to be confronted by an unholy vision of her grunting out a steamer. She's also a nasty little racist - probably the choicest cuts of her sub-Littlejohn rants was when she blamed her driving test failure not on the numerous errors that she made, but she "would have to have a fucking paki as my instructor". There's more to add to that, but I can't be arsed at the moment.

I'm sure both of those people are really cool once you get to know them.

What's that meant to mean?

I agree with BlueStar's life experience.

I'm exactly three days older than you, ergo I have more life experience. :P

Does anyone else want to field this one? My head hurts from banging it against the wall.

I don't think it is. You can't pay for justice with blood, and his death accomplishes nothing but turning him into a martyr.

The key word is "use", not "abuse".

Harry Potter And Thank Fuck It's The Last One And There Won't Be Any More.

Just out of interest, do you have any sympathy for alcoholics or smokers?

What a wonderful human being you are.

If I can get the cash together, I'll be seeing Hundred Reasons in January. And if I can build a time machine, I'll be seeing Rival Schools all the time.

I really didn't enjoy the books. I borrowed them off a friend, and I couldn't get past the enormous chip that Pullman has about religion. He reminds me of an angsty goth who thinks that he'll really stick it to "the man" by wearing one of those "Jesus is a ****" shirts.

The Libertines aren't worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as The Ramones. Doherty apparently forgot that you need more than just a smack habit to be a rock star, you need to be able to write good music as well.

I'm getting it dreaded soon. It's going to look fucking brilliant.

Finding a conjoined-twin gummy bear. Deep.

It's totally different. The word "Brit" wasn't used to subjugate and discriminate against an entire race.

I think we should be reminded of it so we don't let anything like that ever happen again. I'm honestly amazed that things like Jim Crow laws were ever actually put into practice.

Aha, my apologies. I got the wrong end of the stick there. I agree with you on that one, dude. I'm just in a tetchy mood after an argument with one of my flatmates who thinks there's nothing wrong with calling people "pakis".
