That BNP scumbag that got elected to some towns council(Burnely or something) got beat up.

No, you dislike Saddam Hussein because you're highly susceptable to propaganda.

And it's hypocritical to call Al Qaeda 'extremist evil murders' because they've killed a few thousand people tops, when America is planning to incinerate several hundred thousand people.

And has in the past, and likely won't stop after this time. People kill people- it's humanity's biggest pasttime, other than ****ing people. Since people ****ing people tends to largely counteract the effects of people killing people, it all works out in the end.

It's pretty silly to complain about "bigots" these days anyway, since most everyone but the most wishy-washy, almost by definition is. If you think of any one group- be it political, racial, national, or cultural- as more or less a single, undifferentiated mass with a specific personality, and if you dislike some of these groups (and that extends to things like "Al Qaeda" and "Palestinians" as well as "those durn niggers") then you are a bigot- you dismiss a large group of people you don't know as essentially bad, because for whatever reason you've made up your mind that this group exemplifies some trait you dissaprove of.

Don't feel bad. Everyone does it- it's pretty much impossible to not be a bigot without conscious effort, due to the scale of the world you live in and incredibly poor quality of news services. But at least try not to be a hypocritical bigot, and tolerate others' stupidities so long as they aren't hurting anyone. Do unto others and all that...

Warlock: Define "war", then. And don't use chicken**** terms equating it to politics.

I find it amusing that people whine and ***** about racism then they're all "****ing Al Qaeda. Let's bomb Iraq"


Hmmm ASSumption anyone?

So your saying everyones a rascist right?

My days here are done. I once thought most North Americans were actually smart, but now i realize most are too self centered and stuck up to admit their wrong, and also so opinionated that they dont see whats wrong with the world, heck they cant even see past their own face.

Good Luck with HLP, im officially withdrawing my support on anything i do here. Its just not worth supporting so many (how can i say this nicely) ignorant bigots.

Have a nice life.

Come on guys, it doesn't have to be this way - we've all gotten on fairly well before - and god knows we've people from many walks of life on here. Lets try and keep it together and get along - even when the rest of the planet can't seem to manage. Please?

I'd rather not - I want people to resolve this, The whole world crises things can claim many things but I'd like to think it can't really touch HLP. Someone prove that for me.

Well we can't force him to believe anything - I'd just rather people took the "well actually, if I'm honest" approach rather than the "I must argue to save face - even though I don't mean this" approach. I've never noticed anyone be truly bigoted around here before - I just don't want everyone to radically change what they think of eachother just because people may have a strong feeling one way or the other about this.

What everyone has to understand is that everyone has a right to their own opinion (at least American's do).  The internet, yes, is an international forum without law enforcement or a general constitution on what could and could not be said or expressed.  It is up to the server or the domain to regulate such things.  But every single person who ever logs on to the internet has the right to hit the little "X" in the corner of the browser if they don't want to continue viewing whatever it is that offends them.  The same soapbox could be stood on for porn or explicit lyrics.

Lonestar, I am no means telling you that if you don't like what they're saying here then don't come back (I was referring to that website.  But understand that this is a forum where people can express their opinions.  And just as you expressed how you were offended by that website, anyone here (including AnOn) can also express their opinion.  One cannot stand at a corner and shout something out that offends them, and then shut their ears when someone disagrees and tries to explain how they feel.

And that's the beauty of a forum like this, it brings people from different cultures together and allows you to hear different views that you may feel very passionately about or against (or just don't care).  I personally get upset when I hear people rant and rave about how Amercians are bullies when we're looking out for ourselves (and the world to some degree), but I don't give them the bird and tell them their all bigots just because they don't side with me.

I don't know about Canadian law, but I would think that they have a similar freedom of speech.  Please reconsider you leaving this website simply because someone else disagreed with you.  It would be a loss to this forum.

Thanks guys - I knew people could make the effort - hope is not lost.

I am however going to close this thread, I think enough has been said on the original topic anyhow... please try and keep the war threads (that are bound to ensue) clean and free from... well, racism - being generally stupid, the usual really. Just think about it before you post it :)
