THE PERMANENTLY OFFENDED

Postby Buffy Vampire Slayer » Wed Jun 10, 2020 8:30 am

I see that because of the George Floyd incident we are now seeing statues/monuments depicting anyone who is construed to be racist or linked to the slave trade removed.
these memorials also testify to other deeds done by these men in law and order and medicine etc but somehow that doesn't matter.
it's the " but I only $hagged one sheep" scenario.
on the target list, believe it or not is Nelsons colomn.
it we're going back a century or three, I'd like to go back farther and would like to suggest,neigh,demand,that all things Roman,as a starter for ten,are raised to the ground in keeping with the slavery and oppression/repression of the indigenous people theme.
let's start with Hadrians wall and the Coliseum in Rome.
I know the coliseum is the home ground, but loads of away teams were put to sword,fed to the lions etc on that pitch.
what's your thoughts?

Today it's statues. WTF will it be tomorrow? Or the day after?

The leaders of this country really need to get a grip and say "enough is enough". How long must we keep on appeasing people with a chip on their shoulder? Yes, slavery was bad, but the world has moved on. Unfortunately, the psyche of a lot of people hasn't.

(I've had to delete the rest of my post, because my blood pressure was in danger of getting the better of my gentle nature :hmm: ).

When Lee Rigby was INTENTIONALLY butchered in the street for no reason other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time did the whites start looting and rampaging through the streets and demonstrating ? NO they didn't . As regards Floyd's death what was very noticeable was the type of shops that were looted , no smashed windows in Estate Agents or non goods shops oh no , they were shops were there was a gain for the criminals that were looting them ,one final point check out Floyds previous convictions , the press seem to over look them , had he not have been doing a criminal activity this situation would not have arisen ,as for the statues being torn down that to me is pure vandalism full stop , rant over :mad:

Look on the bright side. Mohammed was a slave trader so we can start knocking down mosques.

(For any filth snooping here, that is not a realistic suggestion, but a form of humour. Something you bastards don't understand) :cheese:
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?

I reckon more people are offended by speed cameras lining the public highway so should we tear them all down? ;) :grin:
