He's highlighting peoples' naivety on the matter as I read it.
He's certainly told it as it appears, put whatever label suits on it. In your opinion only of course!!

I'm not arguing his point, I've no problem with it although I don't agree - we're far more developed socially than these countries so why should we be as intolerant as they are?

But my; and society as a whole's, issue is with how he's putting it across, what's the need for the racism? If I walked into work and called somebody a Arab what do you think would happen?

You're both a similar age to my dad, I'd be fucking embarrassed of him if he came out with terms like that and I'm 99% certain the only place either of you put them across is sitting behind a keyboard.

I'd lower your level of percentage!! You are not quite as clued up as you think you are. 
For the record can you point out at any point anything I have stated is racist?
I made a comment on another thread about somebody referring to the word Idiot in a derogatory way? Is that not offensive? 
The problem with the world now is I even think twice about who I speak to in case it can be construed as offence!

No, that's not the problem at all. It's not up to you what other people find offensive is it? 

Out of fairness to Sluffy, I'll drop it now.

I hate any argument that makes me side with 1874.

Well I find when folk call me a dingle, or saying that I have inappropriate relations with my sister, or wear dungarees, or wash my clothes in the canal, or point at aeroplanes, or that I don't have any teeth, have severe deformities, drink from puddles, wear clogs, have the same surname as everyone else in Burnley.... all offensive.

Sort it out Sluffy.

Opened a can of worms as this.

My personal view.

A football forum should refect an atmosphere as close as we can to that of a bunch of mates watching a match, whether that be at the ground itself, or in a pub, or at home with a few cans.

Things are said and heard during those times.

Most are in joke, some are not.

Some things you would rather not hear but let them go.

Every now and again though you hear something you can't let pass and say something to your mate about it.

A good mate will take note and whether he agrees with you or not won't say such things in front of you again.

Other mates are dick heads and carry on saying them to wind you up and piss you off.

When that happens other mates chip in and tell them not to be a knob about it and that they are out of order.

I think here on Nuts we've got to that stage now.

It's not only those that run the site that think things have got a bit out of hand - other members have been saying so too - and asking why we the mods don't do something about it.

Well we are.

We don't want anybody to leave - so we've brought in a word filter (much against our own will to want to do so) to make things that bit harder to say the stuff we don't want to hear on here.

But people are smart enough to get around that if they want to do.

So we've got to a time now where if people really want to be dicks and deliberately want to go out of their way to say the stuff we don't want, then I think we've come to the end of the road and for the benefit of all it's probably better that they find somewhere else to go and post.

We don't want to become a Politically Correct forum.

We don't want to be judge and jury as to which individual words or pharases can be used on here or not.

We don't want to have people demanding of us you banned so-and-so for saying this and such-a-body as just called me this-that-and-the-other so what are you going to do about it.

We just want a bit of a laugh and for things not to go too far as they sometimes can and do.

So it seems simple to me - if it's more important for any individual that they feel strongly enough that they should be on a site that allows them to say anything that is generally in todays society considered racist or offensive - then sorry, this site is no longer the place for you to be.

If however you want to say everying else and / or be man enough to hold your hand up if you do occassionally cross the line (nobodys perfect) then you are more than welcome to stay.

Does that seem fair to everyone?

Yes, eminently so.

(So long as we can still abuse Copper.)

You deserve everything you get. This isn't a Burnley forum.

Like that.

Is it not?

I wish someone had have told me that over 2 and a half years ago, it would have saved a lot of heartache and distress.

Why? Team full of shit!

We are at war now with a section of the Muslim society, would it be a problem if there's an enemy  within that's highlighted? 
Or is it better to say knob all and wait for another 7/7? 
Good luck with the answer!!
Religion, the God of all evil!!!!!!!

Good cop out, we'll done. 
I'll take that as a nowhere!!

It looks like the Schnitzel munchers are jumping on the bandwagon.

Alan Henning murdered by IS.

Just read it I feel sick.

No words are enough to say how sorry I feel his family and friends.

Ah the religion of peace strikes again.
