My old mans a nice bloke too, quite intelligent with it but he's not averse to the odd "round em up and shoot the feckers, the whole lot of 'em" when discussing chav's/louts/pikeys/layabouts. I've heard people talking about "hating" football fans and footballers and describe in vivid detail how they'd like to take part in breaking someones legs, shooting the owners, bombing Goodison etc. People say daft stuff sometimes, lifes like that.
dont know if you have read what he said or not but it was nothing like what you're saying in that post...
I did read what he said yes, and I'm merely making the point that people say silly things sometimes. I think his posts since have been somewhat less controversial, and whether this represents a clarification of an earlier misuanderstanding or a "backtrack", only S@int will know.
Personally though, I don't really give a feck either way to be perfectly honest. As I said I don't agree with his earlier posts (or at least my understanding of them) but I'm not prepared to change my opinion of the fella which has been built up over a number of years because of it.
I take it from the tone of your reply to my post that you did find the post more offensive, that's fair enough you certainly aren't on your own by the looks of things. It comes back though to the thing about people being entitled to their opinions and being prepared to accept that we don't all agree with each other all the time. I don't agree with S@int but that's OK by me, quite a lot of people don't agree with me much either.
