[kj] Celtic fan vs Dida attack

[Flight Bringer]

And what difference does it make on the choice of vehicle for the delivery? In the same way that what difference does it make whom a waiter is in a restaurant ? If you buy some clothing from a shop, does it matter which bag you carry it home in ? 
   The vehicle of delivery is irrelevant. And you complaining about my fonts, just goes to show what a foul mood you ve been in recently. 
  I'm surprised at you pointing out grammatical mistakes.......like does it really matter ?
And why must you mention something extreme like the Holocaust survivors in order to try to prove someones theories wrong?
 
*"Ultimately, the focus of hatred is an excuse to hide from ones own inadequacies.." Tell that to Holocaust survivors.*
 
     Someone made a philosophical point and you use an extreme occurrence to try to disprove the statement , the statement was referring to any given persons individual feelings and not the feelings of an exclusive group.  You have taken Olivers route and you are now making absurd comparisons

Peter, I have to say --- your arguments would be a thousand times more potent if you didn't insist on that ridiculous font.

Yes, when punks first came on the scene they did get drunk, dye their hair and were looked at with disdain by the rest of society , this was because the general public were shocked by these teenagers who didnt conform to the rules of society , sticking two fingers up at society and revelling in nonconformity, getting drunk, dying their hair and preaching Anarchy............now how on Earth can you compare that to someone who dyes their hair for an afternoon in order to show which team they support??????? Yes, Oliver , they both colour their hair and get drunk..........but come on, you cant logically compare the two .       Punk received so much attention because it was new , and it was 30 years ago , nowadays, society is generally unshockable when it comes to musicians and to highlight your post even further, only a small minority of people who attend sports events dye their hair .      Your comparisons are quite irrational Oliver ..........and thats not to mention your comparisons with sports fans and Muslims extremists zealots!!!!!!Come on, get a grip with reality  P.W: The Gatherings very own Tony Parsons        > Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2007 19:11:30 -0500> From: bigblackhair at sbcglobal.net> To: gathering at misera.net> Subject: Re: [kj] Celtic fan vs Dida attack> > There is some especially pernicious and hypocritical about America's > relation with competitive sprts, though.
