Yes nonsense. Have a think about what your actually saying and the means by which you’re trying to evidence it. Then have another think to see if your evidence really does justify your claim. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't choose to be born either of those 3 and have been bullied and called stuff I can't repeat over the years for it. Have you changed your user name? Did you use to post on here as Mr Allen? He had the same disabilities as you. He was very entertaining tho. Edited February 20, 2023 by hauxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly what I mean; I think it’s what the term ‘accident of birth’ refers to; it doesn’t mean you were unplanned etc. At least that’s my understanding. Accident of birth; to me means we have no control over the circumstances of our birth, so shouldn’t be judged according those circumstances (our sex, race, whatever).

To my mind, anyone who bullies or tries to demean another person for something they had no control over; is only demeaning and belittling themselves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i'm 'actually saying' is that certain sections of society are hypocrites when it comes to their views on some matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a white person and have never been discriminated against because of the colour of my skin. I acknowledged some white folk in our country may have not obtained jobs they applied for due to positive discrimination being adopted in the recruitment process. Haven't you? First off as far as recruitment goes it should be the best person for the job no matter whether they are black or white or any other shade, and I also feel offended when someone says black lives matter because it says to me white lives don't where in actual fact what they should be saying is all lives matter, because they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I have never been personally discriminated because I am a white man. I agree as far as recruitment goes it should be the best person for the job. However, I understand why positive discrimination was adopted in the past for recruitment. As a white man I do not feel offended when someone says black lives matter.

I also think it’s time now that BLM changed their rallying cry to all lives matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
