Wow, everything is wrong, its offensive. Counter-Strike is getting banned in Brasil, why? Its the game fault there copying it? So couple of idiots get obsessed why does everyone suffer? Not thats its going to stop me, ill download off the internet,and if i have too ill sell the copys. But lately everything has been pissing me off.

[EAXT]

Now this is ridiculous!!

[SHIVMOO]

WHAT THE HELL

[StudicaSkills]

this just makes me wonder if "the banned list" will end up growing to an immeasurable size once all of these classic stories are reviewed. it's sad to think that some of the tales with which we all grew up (and from which we learned morals!) are now considered offensive.

the whole politically correct world notion is rather a disturbing one, imho.

hi, my name is Karmyn, and i have a mind of my own.
did any asians actually COMPLAIN about the three little pigs story? nah, methinks it's some big brother figure with way too much time on their hands looking to nitpick around every corner. meh.

[N4Z.]

Im not racist in any way, shape or form... But I've been told that story so many times when i was a toddler, one of my best memories was being told that story going to bed, this is ridiculous..

I think it's only fair to say.. Muslims... Fuck off! Sorry if anyone finds THAT offensive, but thats the cold hard truth of how I feel, this country (And a lot of others) Are going down the drain to ridiculous things such as this!

[StudicaSkills]

HARSH, soldier, but i do see your point.
there is no room in north america for racism, right? the problem is that the caucasian population is the ONLY one who is not allowed to complain about anything, which is ridiculous. it's already gotten to the point where, if two similarly-qualified candidates apply for a job, one being caucasian (let's say, for the sake of argument, that it's a male applicant), and the other being of any "minority" race, the minority will almost positively be selected for the job. i've seen caucasians who are MORE qualified turned down for a position just to "promote diversity in the workplace".... that's just not right. unfortunately, that's what it's all coming to.

Dunno about "hell" but i'm think something along the same lines...

People should be able to write and distribute anything they want. The KKK should be allowed to distribute a book that is completely racist towards African Americans. An African American should be allowed to write something bad about white people. I don't give a shit what it says. I don't care if the book or whatever it is recommends killing all Jewish people. It should be allowed to be distributed like any other book. Anyone ever read Mein Kampf? Hitler may have been one of the most evil men to ever live, but I will defend his right to speak his beliefs to the death. Obviously I don't condone his actions or support him though.

StudicaSkills, you are correct about that. It is called affirmative action. It is the single most fucked up policy this nation ever devised. It had its place a long time ago, but now there is no need for it.

On another note:

If you are offended by anything I say then you are the kind of person that I really cannot stand. You need to lighten up and get with the real world. Nobody cares about you but your family.

Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

[Matthew.]

Zzzz. Just another over the top P.C judge ruling something stupid. As happened with rainbow sheep, no one shall take any notice and it shall be forgotten about probably by tomorrow.

It's not fair at all to actually point a finger of blame at the Muslim community - 99% would think this is justg as rediculous as we do, and the other percentile that doesn't are just being awkward....and there are some pretty damn awkward white British males so that's not exclusive.

Like Matthew said, It's not fair to blame the hole race if it's only a couple that are actualy the idiots but some of them are getting pretty bad... they think they can just come to our country and have use follow their every rule just because thats their religion or what not.... If you come to our country and folow use and down try and change our systems... thats all I have to say...

[N4Z.]

It's not a couple muslims though! Everywhere I go their women wearing veils (They make me feel intimidated, IN MY OWN TOWN!) But I also know there is a lot of white crime, knives etc.

But what needs to be out in the open is, these people are in OUR Country. If we went to their country and said "We find you very racist"We would probably get buried to the neck in dirt and have stones thrown at us!

I hate the fact that my friend and his girlfriend and daughter cant get a flat but an immigrant can quite easily come over to our country, be given £50k (Which they dont spend on living, they spend on Mercs and BMWs) And take up ALL the jobs and ALL the housing in yours and my local area!

Im not racist, im a realist.

I think that it's time we had a little more freedom of speech in this so called great, Great Britain. Sorry if i offended anyone with my other post

Mein Kampf, the book of a German mans struggle. Loved the book.

Didn't believe in ALL he said... well, ANYTHING he said, but I liked it because it was the work of a massive iconic history figure!

Do you think Britain is the only place in the world that has different nationalities? Sad fact of life but without them you probably wouldn't have much at all and your economy would be bad. They do the jobs people don't want.

Immigrants are a touchy subject worldwide but if you think the grass is greener in any other country your wrong. I heard that in New Zealnd, Australia and now in Canada and here they have huge homes almost like mansions but inside lives 4-6 families and they all pool ALL their money and buy more homes, cars etc all working 2-3 jobs each and majority no canadian would take on as a job. They were doing the same in Australia when I lived there.

So in reality they ain't taking YOUR jobs or housing, if anyone really wanted them they'd get off their butts and stop whinging.

And if your intimidated by a woman in a veil what the hell are you going to do on your wedding day lol

I concur, ive been a imagrant for nearly 10years. I moved to USA being only a baby (3years old) and lived there up to 13.. I moved back to Brasil last year...

We are the ones that help you guys grow!

[Jeepinator]

Immigration is great. As long as you take the time to learn OUR language before you come here and you come here legally and immediately start paying taxes I am fine with it. Welcome to America , brother! However, if you try to avoid paying taxes and mooch off of our government I really have the temptation to go and kill you. Heck, no one will know. Nobody knows who you are or where you are from. <---Illegal asshats only.

[EAXT]

Right so next step would be to ban Donald Duck because he's not halal or kosher? lol JUST KIDDING...


But seriously... I understand the debate about a right balance between nationalism and immigration. As much as nationalism is defined in a law or constitution I firmly believe it should not always protect the only wishes of majority. Institutions are indeed there to reflect politically the wishes of the population but as much as minority have to be represented, the juridic system is there for them.

Of course my examples here are mostly taken by the Canadian system... and mostly by the Same Sex Marriage Act. It was never really debated until Pr. Minister Harper reopened the case. Before that it was the Supreme Court who intervened and legalized Same Sex Marriage.

Therefore we shouldn't be surprised to see more and more "visible minorities" (through religion, race, etc..) bypass the government and get what they seek through the Juridic System... until a government decides differently!

EDIT: Just to clarify this. I am NOT giving an opinion regarding same sex marriage here... it's only an example allowing me to present the ways laws can be accepted in Canada via the juridic system. Period.
