what are your thoughts on students mate?

None in particular, don't think that the vast majority are anywhere near as intelligent as they think they are.
Any reason for the question?
 
It amazes me that the term "*******" which is seriously hurtful to disabled people can be bandied about on here with gay abandon with no complaints, and slurs towards certain ethnic groups provoke no response, but anything concerning Afro Carribeans or asians from the sub continent the hackles immediately go up and the Politically correct attack dogs emerge from out of the woodwork.
The hypocrisy on this board is unbelievable.
Fair point.
 
Would you like to put a bit of meat on that comment or are you happy with your input?

Ok, you get some dickheads on these boards, as you do everywhere in life, however this is a messageboard, not a cul-de-sac, you dont have to live with or around these people, the chances are you're likely never to even meet them, or if you do you'll have more than likely done so by choice. I therefore dont see the point in analysing/generalising people's posting techniques in such a non existent/counter productive context. Particularly not when atm countless threads are being ruined in this manner. Fair enough if you spot a post which you feel is out of place then debate it, but to post in apprehension of the negativity you describe is just meaningless and is surely aimed at scoring the negativity points you yourself describe as pathetic.

I know that you can claim I'm guilty of the exact same thing with the remark I made and in this instance you'd be right, however I think it's time we at least tried to draw a line under it, I dont seem to be as susceptible as some of being drawn into it in the first place, probably because I haven't been around here for as long, however I still feel that most would agree that the board, particularly this one PF, would benefit greatly from a reduction in the amount of threads that turn into a slagfest using these techniques that I've mentioned, which are not only meaningless, but also responsible for the reduced quality in posting that we find around here more and more often.

Lot of juveniles on this particular board marra, words longer than two syllables and sentences longer than three words are a rarity.
 
It amazes me that the term "*******" which is seriously hurtful to disabled people can be bandied about on here with gay abandon with no complaints, and slurs towards certain ethnic groups provoke no response, but anything concerning Afro Carribeans or asians from the sub continent the hackles immediately go up and the Politically correct attack dogs emerge from out of the woodwork.
The hypocrisy on this board is unbelievable.

Agree, and very strong of you to say so.

Strange you agreeing with me, a lad I know tried to emphasise that point a while ago and was banned for racism.
Good to see there are some intelligent younger posters.
