Who can blame false asylum seekers, illegal immigrants coming here? I cant they get a free ride.. its not their fault that they come to this country, Its understandable. Its our fault for being so bloody stupid with the rules and organisation of it all.
The Mirror has a reading age of 11. That says it all I think.
All asylum seekers are evil, I cant see how I could have been so wrong.
When have I ever said all asylum seekers are evil?
They are not, you know. Just most of them.
So ignorant
Keep up the good work.
Thanks
I can see the Daily Mail headline now - "ASYLUM SEEKERS STEAL OUR INTERWEB!" :rolleyes:
What ever happend to free speech?
So am I a rasict now am I?
Do I hate balck people?
Nope.
I'm talking to one now. (My dad)
Do I hate asylum seekers?
When have I ever said that?
Does this make me a rasict?
Hmmm, it must do:rolleyes:
Seems very prejudiced and unimformed to me
You're being a troll (and not a very good one), thats for sure.
As to the case you are refering, yes it was indeed tragic, and yes, they probably recieved a sentance that was too short. But it really doesnt have anything to do with his immigration status at all, the court decided not to charge him with manslaughter.
edited for dodgy spelling mistake!
You can not make judgements on one example. It makes no difference how bad or good that example is.
Im particuarly offended because my family are immigrants. Not illegal, fair enough, some came seeking asylum in the war, others came to escape the racist legal system of South Africa.. were brilliant people
The average reading age in the UK is ten. They actually target their use of language according to the national average, you shouldn't condemn them for that.
You should, however, condemn those newspapers with more in depth analysis of news for not doing the same.
Thr problem with the tabloids isn't the language used, but the content...
@ Makaveli UK (is this supposed to be "Machiavelli"?) - there is no free speach on bulletin board. You should have read the terms when you signed up to these boards. Didn't you notice that we have moderators here?
It is their simplification of the news I dont like, but then I guess they do respond to the readership too. I refer back to my 'Democracy...I dont trust the public' thread.
I thought the debate was about why people dislike the Mail, not as to whether it is popular. The point I'm making is that something doesn't have to be decent, well written or politically sound to be popular.
Well then why start a debate about why people dislike it if you don't care?
Perhaps that was said jokingly, but if you really believe it then back it up and maybe try to explain what evil is.
I don't read the Mail as it doesn't represent my views and I want to read something in favour of what I believe, being very left wing myself in most cases.
Look, its perfectly simple - CRITICISING PEOPLE OR SPECIFIC SITUATIONS IS FINE. EXTRAPOLATING FROM THESE TO AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE IS NOT. ITS BIGOTRY.
GOT IT?
:rolleyes:
No, I think its perfectly reasonable to say that. Just look at the rhetoric used. Couple that with their history and its perfectly reasonable.
Exactly. Its scaremongering nonsense.
