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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
