Fancy a new shiny free blog?

correct me if im wrong but its not the site that people are annoyed with, its the fact that if we did a site like that or something similiar it would be immeditately (sp?) shut down for being racist; and its not just with muslims, it's woman aswell, if we had a car insurance only for men first they would have thrown a hissy fit

There isn't a car insurance only for women, men can get insurance from Diamond or Sheilas Wheels etc. They are just marketed towards women, the same way Toys R Us is marketed for kids or Top Man is marketed towards men. There is nothing stopping a woman from going into Top Man and buying clothes, the same way there is nothing stopping you from getting insurance from Sheilas Wheels.
 
Couldn't agree more! It's like the gays, why do they have to have a march to parade their prefered sexual tendencies? I mean, you don't see straight people doing it, probably wouldn't be allowed anyway in today's PC England.

Actually, that's one thing I never understand. Why is it exactly that minority groups feel the need to have an association or whatever? For example, the MOBO Awards, or the Black Police Officers Association.

If someone suggested created the MOWO Awards, or the White Police Officers Association the minorities would be up in arms - hypocritical *******!

They are clearly too stupid to realise segregating themselves as they do, and making an issue of the colour, race, sexual preferences or whatever just propogates resentment.

I think they should just STFU making an issue of everything and get on with their lives.

Everyone always cites the MOBO awards in this kind of debate but aren't they focussed on hiphop and RnB (which are of black American origin)? I believe white people have won MOBO awards in the past?

How about British ex-patriots living in Spain, France, Greece, etc? What effort do they make to integrate, to learn the language, to embrace the culture?

I know a lot of '2nd generation immigrants' and they're all just as British as I am.

It seems to me that people want something to hate. Whether it's 'native' British hating immigrants, immigrants imagining discrimination where none exists, religious conflict, class divide I think we're all as bad as eachother.

One point the Christian religion makes very well (although it's not practised much) is "love thy neighbor" and "love your enemies". Embrace cultural differences, don't be afraid of them.

The idea being propagated that Muslims want to blow you up, oppress you, kill you is actually quite scary. To answer a previous poster's question, yes I believe it came about after 9/11. It really makes you think... how many of you have read 1984?

So do you see my point or not? In a nut shell I was expressing my frustration at the "I am from minority group 'X', therefore you have to treat me differently and I must join with similar people and shout anyone down that objects!" attitude.

I ought not to have cited MOBO in hindsight, I could have identified far more appropriate examples, but what's done is done.

Oh certainly, there are various minorities who like to single themselves out but they're just the ones you notice and are not representative of the group as a whole.

For instance, I know quite a few homosexuals but none who attend rallies or make their sexual preference abundantly clear to anyone they meet.

Of course there's nothing inherently wrong anyway with minorities banding together. For instance, British ex-pat societies in foreign countries which I mentioned earlier. Obviously if they're being offensive in some way then that's another matter.

As long as that doesn't prevent them from being fully functioning members of society, and as long as that doesn't mean they start screaming that they want this right and that right every two minutes, and as long as they just get on with life and don't ram their 'uniqueness' down my throat every two sodding minutes, then I agree ;)

If someone was to register whitepeople.co.uk the muslims would start complaining...

Well, no they wouldn't though would they? What a silly assumption to make. Why would only the 'muslim's complain? There are plenty of pro BNP, white power, KKK sites about.
 
The Muslim site is a religeon.....and you say the muslims will be offended by whitepeople.com :$? Muslim = religeon, White = Race (there are white muslims) if u catch my drift :P? :o
