There's been a few lists knocking around social media; all locations were refugee centres or immigration lawyers, and yeah, none in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually had the complete opposite effect. Everyone has became anti-social and argumentative.

I would get rid of it all (as I have done personally) To be pedantic, no you haven't. Social media can be used for good but sadly, unlike here, the cesspits that are FB and Twitter aren't moderated even remotely as well as they should be (no idea if it would be realistic either but given the Billions at their disposal and what they've created I'm sure it could be possible) and this allows idiots to confuse 'Freedom of Speech' with Hate Speech with no repercussions and think it's acceptable. Which inevitably leads to the shit we're seeing this week. The dickheads who run the said websites are as much to blame as anyone else IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 It was so heartwarming (except for Jared Anderson) to see a 20 stone Congolese man who has made a life for himself in Airdrie set the boxing world alight with his breakout performance in LA the other night. In his tartan shorts he slapped the next big thing of American heavyweight boxing silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final 10 count was about 20 and he should have stopped it there and then as there was zero response to the "want to go again " question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be honest about why you wanted them to be white, then - so you could point at those involved in the riots and/or those that hit out with some racist patter prior to the identity being known and show just how better than them you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I wouldn't be pointing anything out as it would suggest some kind of bizarre one upmanship. I don't think point scoring on stabbings is an appropriate thing to do. What you've suggested I would do is exactly what the TR hangers on will do if it turns out to be another ethnicity, as well you know.
