Quote from Funnybear :How on earth can you lot go on about that kid being disrespectful or even to critisize him at all. He's only about 3 and a half for goodness sake. He could barely contain himself with excitement. He probably needs that sport just so his parents can get him into the house, let alone sat down at the dinner table.

He was waving at his Mama and Papa and his big sister who have to come to watch the boy race on a sunday afternoon. Bless him, I just thought he was a kid with a bit too much Redbull in him. Great to watch, wouldn't want to take him home. His neighbours are obvioulsy used to him, they didn't even seem to notice his antics.

And anyway, it could have been a she.

I don't race for huggsies if that's what you're saying. And regarding this kid, he's gained mine, as well as others respect - it was Rossi's manager who posted it on his twitter page in the first place. Looks like this kid is winning just fine.

Quote from BlueFlame :Winning and then shitting on all the other drivers isn't winning.

I think you'll find it's still winning.

Quote from BlueFlame :Disrespectful winners aren't worthy winners at all. To win you must first respect the competition.

No, to win first you must beat your competition.

Beating the competition gains more respect from me. Looks as if the kid is Italian champion too so summit is clearly working. No one wants to be a respectful loser. Give me a disrespectful winner any day of the week. It's motorbike racing, not a bloody tea party.

Anyway, I don't think it's to intimidate anyone as only 1 or 2 riders can see him out of what? 40 bikes? He's doing it for himself.

Quote from BlueFlame :I know that, but he said Hamilton wasn't far enough ahead, and that Massa had right of way (in that incident). Which I disagree with. It was a racing incident and should have been treated that way.

He doesn't say that.

Quote from BlueFlame :How was he far enough ahead? He was far enough ahead that Hamilton could just disappear from the inside? What are you saying? Lol

He is saying that he doesn't understand why Massa was given a penalty when Vettel on Button @Suzuka, and other incidents, have gone unpunished. He isn't denying Massa's blame.

I don't think it dispels the myth. Had it been a different driver steward then the penalty could've easily gone the other way and we'd be in the same position arguing Massa was the guilty offender.

I've predicted this for ages. If you continually put 100% responsibility on the inside car for the overtake and any eventual contact, drivers will just turn-in regardless of who is on the inside. In a way I don't blame Massa for doing it, because it's learned behaviour.

But the stewards do seem very inconsistent here. Had it not been Herbert in the stewards room the penalty would've possibly gone the other way.

Anyway, a dreadful race for Hamilton. Think he can't wait for the season to end.

Quote from Storm_Cloud :If F1 2011 is anything to go by then Tristan is dead right - there's nothing even remotely similar.

Nothing remotely similar apart from the fact the Buddha circuit has a near identical layout from a bird's eye view?

I didn't say they were exact copies and would share the same feel, camber, gradient, length etc... Just they both clearly have very similar layouts.

Some on here just argue for argument's sake. Maybe that needs to be added to Sinbad's law?

Sinbad's law is looking incredibly accurate.

Practically every modern style of music 'plagued' the music scene. I can't think of a style that hasn't, at some point, been commercially successful on some level.

I think it's a good thing that we get new and varying styles hitting the scene, otherwise it's just the same old gash being regurgitated. Not that dubstep is entirely fresh, but it is something a bit different.

Quote from XCNuse :It's just annoying when people are like I love electronic music and have for a long time now.. My response always is.... Oh yeah? Really? How long lol... I've been listening to it for majority of my life. When I first started listening to music besides what my mom played in the car it's been electronic music.

I was listening to electronic music before I was even in the grand scheme of things.

Do I win?

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :Pikey just means you're a bit tight fisted, nobody really uses it to cause offense where I'm from. It's all about intent, if the intention is to be funny then I don't see the problem.

The intent in that picture is to suggest that 'pikeys' steals things. It's flatout racist. 30 years ago people thought p*ki was harmless as well as n*gro and n*gger. If that said 'N*gro - Just Steal it' it would have been removed immediately regardless of intent. I don't think a kid who regularly gets bullied because of being a gypsy would see the funny side of that little sticker. Grow up ffs!

Because the gypsy community is so hidden (because of the insane amount of prejudice) people haven't had the opportunity to actually understand what they are saying or how they making people feel. Throughout history gypsies have been vilified above and beyond practically every other culture or race. They have suffered slavery, butchery, and general hatred. Pikey is no different to any other racial slur. Don't give me this bullshit about it means something different where you're from because you wouldn't say that about any other racist term.

Time people pulled their head out of their arse.

Feels oddly like a 1970s voxpox of Britain with the "the minstrels are harmless" brigade. eery.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :It was in the metro so it must be true.

And if I call a chav a Pikey, it's not racist. So my point stands. Difference is with the blacks and the gypsies is that most of the black people wanted to work and have a better life, where as most of the gypsies want free living and something for nothing.

OK here it is on the BBC as well http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7446274.stm

Quote from BBC :

But in more recent years it has become a term of abuse and in the eyes of the law using it can even be deemed a racist offence, given its association with Irish travellers and Roma Gypsies.

You don't know any gypsies so how would you know 'most' are lazy want something for nothing? You are taking a false stereotype and applying it to an entire group of people. Whether you think it is or it isn't, that's racism.

Quote from Dictionary :

rac·ism/ˈrāˌsizəm/
Noun:
The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as...

The attitude towards gypsies your showing is exactly the same attitude towards blacks people 30+ years ago - lazy, stupid, thieving, and out for something for nothing.

It doesn't surprise me, the whole the UK is stuck in the ignorant past.

As you are so proud to live 'by the law' then you have to concede by the law pikey is a racist term - http://www.metro.co.uk/news/79 ... y-is-now-a-race-hate-word - unless you live outside the law Mr 'I live in a house and pay my taxes'?

And the treatment of blacks and the treatment of gypsies is very comparable. Unless you think slavery, hatred, racism and being treated as a sub-class of human are something gypsies and black people don't have in common.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Nah they just want to live without paying taxes like 99% of other people. Look at that place over in Kent or wherever that's on the news lately. ILLEGAL land they are using and yet they refuse to go and have barricaded themselves in after burning most of it. How can anyone take them seriously when they don't even obey a court judgement...

I don't know many people who want to pay taxes, do you? If people wanted to pay taxes they would be voluntary.

Secondly what's happening at Dale farm is people being evicted from their own land (they do own it). I happen to think planning law is a bit crazy. These people have no where to go. Their culture/heritage has been systematically outlawed. We are witnessing a form of ethnic cleansing. But they are 'pikeys' who cares, right?

The level of ignorance is incredible, and shows how the UK is still in the dark ages.

Using an anecdote about some kids trying to steal your bike is ridiculous. You wouldn't tarnish the whole black community with the same brush if they committed a similar offence, or would you?

Quote from Agniz :Lol, Interpid, because of people who thinks like you and are in government, most ''old Europe'' countries will be in pretty serious problems, lets say, after 10 years. All this political correctness, multicultural shit and idiotical benefit system where every lazy-ass who comes from 3rd world country got free apartment and monthly allowance, and do nothing to raise level of economy of that particular country is so stupid.
If this all won't stop, after some years you will woke up in morning because of ''adhan'' aka ''morning call'' from nearest mosque.

eh? Gypsies don't want free houses or monthly allowances. That's the complete OPPOSITE of what they want. They don't want anything other than to be left alone. if you think I am a big government type you are mistaken.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :I'm not integrated into the gypsy community because I pay my taxes and live in a house, placing my rubbish in a bin, where as they often don't, living in caravans in fields belonging to other people, placing their rubbish on the ground before leaving it there when they go. Pikey is not racist.

Good for you, you live in a house and pay your taxes... woop tee doo.. so what? You think that makes you special or a better person?

Clearly you have no clue about what the gypsy community has to deal with. Even on their own land they have forced evictions and are generally treated like a sub-class of human.

If you don't think pikey (and it appears p*ki as well) is racist then I really feel sorry for you. The fact you have never met or even spoken to someone for the gypsy community means I can't feel anything other than pity for your ignorance.
