How do you know about it then? Is it just a 'feeling'?

Hmm, I'm thinking, Chechnya, Sudan or Burma/Myanmar.

Or anywhere that has a lard shortage. There seems to be plenty between someone's ears.

Yet how can this be, when the Daily Sport has such a well-informed nark such as you to deliver the straight gen on modern life in Great Britain along with your other associated areas of expertise such as Australian indigenous culture, sexuality, anthropology, theology, ancient history and foreign affairs?

Surely your intellectual peers at the Telly Tubby Fan Club are listening to what you say?


In-between mouthfuls of stewed prunes and rusks, that is.

Parkavenuephobia? What's with the latest trend of adding phobia onto the end of words to give the original issue political credibility? I don't support Park Avenue, I would like sovereignty back from Park Avenue, and I dislike Park Avenue demanding our country bend over backwards for them. I'm not scared of Park Avenue though.

Tired of ads?

Hey! I'm a third generation myself... wait, my skin's white.

Actually as much I hate to say this, I do agree with some of what PA's saying. For instance in the States, we got African-Americans moaning and whining about how they haven't gotten reparations for the slavery era. What's the point with that? Slavery ended about 140 years ago and that's about 4 or 5 generations ago. Beside if it wasn't for that, those descendants' would be in Africa, who knows, in Darfur right now at this very moment.

Yes, racism and discrimination both are very real issues we should be concerned about. However, certain individuals of certain groups whining about how life's lousy and unfair and how the society is obligated to help them out or whatever just disgust me.

Hello, guess what? Life is unfair. Life sucks. Instead of whining about it, do something productive about it. Pull up your bootstraps and forge on. We all are dealt our own set of cards in this little game called Life. Some people got terrific hand while some got really lousy hand. What can you do about it? You can whine about it or just play the game the best you can and perhaps actually change the game itself. I am not saying it will be easy and that it won't be a struggle but it is a fight worthwhile and who knows, you could make life easier for the next generation and the following ones.

This thing is not neccessarily limited to immigrants or whoever. All groups have their own 'dredges.' White trailer trash who sit around collecting welfare and blow away food stamps on beer and chips for instance.

I would suggest that actual discrimination and perceived discrimination are different, yet both the fault of society where it fails to readdress that perception .

The bit where he says I'm not scared, is almost like he's forcing his breaking voice through a playground denial. "My mother doesn't like you".

I think this thread has run its course. PA complained about third generation immigrants, a bunch of people jumped on him, and he had plenty of time to defend himself.
