    I am just wondering why there hasn't been a ban on slagging off Irish and the majority of this countries faith? But it is all out attack on people for calling out other nationalities on their faults and other religions?
    I am seeing a very anti Irish sentiment on this site.Its an absolute disgrace.

    Americans, English and Muslims get just as bad if not worse treatment.

    Don't think anything like that should be banned myself, as some of it is quite justified imo.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Funny i dont see that at all.Barr perhaps Muslims and thats very slight.If you cant comment on another nationalities bad points you shouldnt be allowed comment on any nationalities bad points.
    Calling Irish women fat and ugly and drink to much and are rude? Is justified? And catholics weirdos because they have their faith?

    Well sorry for my ignorance i should have said what? Nigerians i could have seen that go down a treat? I was making it about all Africans white and black and indian etc..
    Point is if you cant do it about other nationalities then shouldn't be allowed about Irish,i take offence and so do others and its down right anti Irish.But if done about another nationality its not allowed? Explain that to me thanks

    Welll why then do people get tagged racist bigoted etc.. for calling other nationalities out or slagging them for been what ever religion.
    On top of that the thread about Mohammed been a pedophile? How is it allowed religion at all is slated?

    It was a joke towards the ones who are rude and bad drivers etc.. i dont have anything against Africans at all.I have great neighbors who are African and my best friend last 20 years is African from cape town.It is a ridiculous notion that if you cant call people out on their faults and attitudes that you have a problem with them.But yet its not allowed but anything goes about Irish.

    Let's stick with your original definition of "African" as a nationality. There are a billion people in Africa. You say "why does calling out a billion people make you a bigot". Callin out means attributing a certain type of behaviour to them which you dislike. So you are asking what trait that a billion people from Africa share, that is not shared by anyone else in the world, that you dislike.

    Definition of a bigot:
    a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own


    Definition of prejudice: a. An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts

    So, your assumption that a billion people could share a common trait, because o where they come from seems to me like prejudice. And because of that, you appear bigoted

    So maybe that's why

    So having a load of people on AH saying all Irish women are ugly and fat and dress bad and have bad attitudes and Irish people are lazy and drunks and ugly and scumbags is allowed?
    Whats the definition of them threads about Irish and those who post that stuff?
    I dont have that assumption about a whole country( it was a joke thread),but they sure as hell can get away with it about saying about Irish and catholics etc..I am far from bigoted.

    Care to counter the point i made do you?Why would i blatant in a racist bigoted way make that thread? To get banned when i asked so much to get back? All you had to do is send me a pm and tell me what it looked like or ask me! But you didnt. Yous allow constant smart ass comments and character abuse towards posters on AH who dont fall into your category of buddies.And allow the constant slating of Irish people on there.
    You knew fine rightly what that thread was about and you decided to use it to ban me and twist it for the ban.
