I agree Larry.

You would. He has the same far right-wing and horribly xenophobic views as you do and you find a soul-mate in him.

Some are more equal than others in our country. The

minorities, are given preferential treatment, women in favour of men,

non whites in favour of whites, gays in favour of straights.

The term “Person of colour”, offends me, does this mean that Caucasians

don’t have a colour to their skin and so are invisible?

Did he really say this??

The tripe that has been written by this core of discriminatory, far-right-wingers on this thread is quite incredible. It's when people like this are challenged that they detest the challenger and will do and say, *anything* to try to discredit the challenger and pull others round to their cause. It starts with their views on climate change, but scratch the surface and you find this kind of foulness.

However, have a single one of them ever noticed that it simply doesn't work (I'm still here. still happily posting and still enjoying posting) and you would be far better off just defending your views (if you can - and therein lies a real difficulty for them and the core of their problems) or ignoring the people you don't like?

People leave groups for all sorts of reasons, as was said on a very sensible thread a while ago and newsgroups are slowly dying. Good for the people leaving; I hope they enjoy their weather elsewhere in moderated groups, or talking on their own blogs, but have you noticed that more have stayed? Good for them if they come back too; anyone is welcome, even stalkers and yes; I do attract them. More fool the idiots (and yes, there are a few) for trying to use them for their purposes.

Fancy this lot trying to say that they are "bullied" by one person. shakes head and laughs
