So... to recap... if abuse is not racist then is fine?

[Francko]

Following the recent ban and the claims that abuse cannot be tolerated on a racist base, I was wondering... how come normal abuse is instead then tolerated? I mean there have been millions of episodes of personal abuse on this board in the past and in recent times. Most of us used to be personally insulted for no reason, Chico constantly depicts non-christians as people without human dignity, on reverse other people constantly abuse Chico because he's a christian, and so on. Yet, this is acceptable but not on sexist or racist base. Isn't abuse just despicable in itself? And shouldn't it be as important as racial or sexual harassment? Aren't we losing the sight of what is ethical in this crazy race to political correctness? Are we going to live in a world were you can only hope in justice if you belong to a protected category? Is the UK going mad? Will java be replaced eventually? Will SKA ever be licensed to at least one company? Will there be a house price crash?

Please, give me the answers.

There is some kind of military action going on in Fiji, guns aimed at Australian warships, apparently.

Wasn't it Fiji that some years ago staged a military coup because they were being swamped with Indians?

Is hating Italians (Da Vinchi, Columbus (Portugese?) and Francko excluded) racist?

you misspelt Da Vinci, Columbus was Italian and Franco was Spaniard. If you want to hate Italians at least make sure that you know who they are
