It's the public airing that I described as designed to cause offence in the context being discussed. Learn to punctuate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't say "public airing" at any point, you said the songs were designed to offend and as such they offend you. I see you went down the personal insult route as usual when you realise you've made an arse of it. You're all over the place here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're all over the place here Wha are you on about?When have you heard those lyrics used in practice at any football match or any sporting event or anywhere else for that matter? MT is referring to the songs that are sung virtually every other week (fair to say at OF away games).What in your view is the purpose of singing these songs if not to offend? And do you believe the perpetrators are knowledgeable enough on the topics sung about to be trying to impart some historic/political wisdom on us all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I was just being a c**t and nit picking his choice of words as he did to me earlier today when he couldn't explain why the songs offend him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i think it's just down to the mentality of individuals, everyone has a tolerance level these songs are always in bad taste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny is that no-one has said only those on the other side object to it and no-one is defending anything. It was suggested that those most offended by it are likely bigots themselves.
