Out of interest what country do you live in?
It says in my profile - Latvia
We have almost no gays or immigrants though.
C'mon, how could you know that? Didn't Iran's president say something similar?
He doesn't. He's just ridiculously and laughably as ignorant and naive as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is and everybody else who claims there's no gays or hardly any in their country. It's no surprise gays usually tend to keep it to themselves when you've got oppressive homophobic idiots like PrintMule in their country. I find it ironic you're so against Fundamentalist Christians or Muslims. You'd make a great one.
There is no way to determine that. Only indication of ignore status - is when a user is ignored by increased amount of people - his ignored button will change color. And to check that - you can view your post as a guest. Some users keep you on ignore, just identify your posts, but still read them via show/hide button. I don't, out of the principle.
Haha, of course you don't read them
, but nice try in passively responding to my theory.
They are so special, that they can walk over rules. TSA privileges for people wearing hijabs. Sharia in workplaces. Guy working as a cashier who won't handle a meat, or alcohol. I wonder if there was a public lawsuit about muslim bartender fired for not serving drinks
. Those are the little things.
Again, this is just mostly anti-Islamist / racist propaganda you're buying into. These unbacked stories that you peddle here are the same I hear from English racists. They claim Islam is taking over because there's a few mosques and a couple of Sharia “Courts” and claim that we must respect them and bow to their wishes when this is usually just how xenophobes
feel when they're threatened by people who are different. In the UK Sharia Courts have zero legal power. In fact, anyone can create their own court, but it will have zero power. These stories of Muslims refusing to handle alcohol or pork are usually always bullshit. Many Muslims operate shops and off-licences that sell both alcohol and pork, so yet again, more ignorant bullshit from you. I saw a story the other day that racists on Facebook were sharing about how British soldiers had been banned from an English pub because they offended the local Muslims. Ironic given that Muslims don't drink, but you people (racists and Islamaphobes) see this crap and just believe it because it fits your agenda. I and other intelligent people see it as bullshit propaganda and check the facts, which guess what, 99.9% of the time turns out to be bullshit or greatly exaggerated.
I personally, care because it affects our media culture in a negative (for me) way. For example- in some shows they've started to include gay characters just for the sake of appearance, to cater to larger audience. In a video game Mass Effect there's a character Kaiden, who's suddenly turned gay in a final installment.
How does it negatively effect things? It will only negatively effect you if you have a problem with gays which obviously you do (and I'd love to know why?). It only makes controversy to those that find it repugnant or controversial (and, sorry to say this, but being gay in 2014 isn't). I also fail to understand how having a gay character caters to larger audiences? You just seem offended by the inclusion of gay characters, and there should be gay characters included in games, because, guess what, there are gay characters in real life (or apparently there isn't in Latvia – what sort of backwards country are you living in?).
Also it affects our social life and things around us. For example - policemen in U.K. always had their uniform look, and there are policemen in turbans. They are so special, that they can walk over rules. TSA privileges for people wearing hijabs. Sharia in workplaces. Guy working as a cashier who won't handle a meat, or alcohol. I wonder if there was a public lawsuit about muslim bartender fired for not serving drinks
. Those are the little things.
Hahaha. OMG turbans! It's the end of our culture and country! Muslims and Sikhs are ruining our police uniforms! You see, this is how pathetic and pedantic you descend to, because you just don't like these people and a turban offends you. I'm from the UK and I've never seen a policeman wearing a turban, though if I did I can't think why it's much different from a helmet. I think that's the great thing about this country; you can wear what you want even if it does offend the ignorant. I can walk the streets wearing nothing but a studded leather thong and a balaclava over my head if I wanted and people can't do shit about it nor should they be able to.
Oh, I'd love to know how Muslims or Sikhs have affected your social life because they've affected my social life and things around me zero.
About sounding gay - never thought that vulgarity on this matter served as indicator for someone.
You'd be surprised. A lot of homophobes are actually latent homosexuals themselves and can't handle their feelings or are scared by their thoughts. Why do you dislike them so much? It's very interesting. Maybe you should look deeper at why you dislike certain people so much, because as with most racists it's usually because you hate and are angry with yourself. These kind of beliefs are usually born out of ignorance and people's need to blame someone else for their failings and insecurities in life, so they blame Muslims and immigrants and blah blah blah.
I recommend googling the psychology of racism and have a look at that.
