Originally posted by Mapletree Oh boy, aren't you a man on a mission. Perhaps some introspection may be called for, you seem to have alienated rather a large number of people over the years. And now we are learning that is both on the HOL and BBS. For what it is worth I will repeat what I have said before. You have a habit of seeking out stories that vilify immigrants - especially Muslims. To me your fascination with such stories is out of balance with the relative newsworthiness. It is also highly repetitious and brings many threads around to some massively overly trod paths. Reality check: it is a fact that certain demographics are significantly over-represented relative to their percentage of the population. That is cause for concern. Shouting it down with "racist" and "fascist" won't change that, and (increasingly) it is not silencing those that stand out. Edited by davenotamonkey (11 Jan 2018 4.30pm)

I would expect certain demographics are also under-represented. I don't see anyone on this site lauding those groups. Mixed race people are most likely to be the victims of crime but I don't see an awful lot of sympathy for them either. If you selectively choose your stories to match your views then you are not being objective. I absolutely believe we see a huge amount of that on this site. And of course, the media drives much of that bias according to its owners' personal interests. Edited by Mapletree (11 Jan 2018 5.11pm)

They also are generally hard working, law-abiding assets to this country.

Having hundreds of different Gods is the way to do it. Tongue 100% not in cheek. Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)
