Maybe it's not an act. Did you ever consider that? Just because you personally don't like specific flamboyant/over the top characteristics shown by certain gay men (those of which are also seen in every other sex and gender, obviously) doesn't mean you have some right to say "I will speak of them this way until they change their attitudes". It's their life and they can do whatever the fuck they want. It's fine to dislike people on an individual basis. I have known quite a few gay people that I just did not have any time for. So up themselves and forceful of their opinions. But guess what, I have disliked straight people for the same reasons too. Get on with life. Edited by Clancy, Mar 2 2014, 03:42 AM.

Because it is an act that's why, the whole gay and proud bravado and trying to promote being gay as if they should tell the world. The world doesn't want to hear, and it's not because the world is homophobic. If it isn't an act, then a lot of gay people are coincidently cunts and no wonder they don't feel accepted because no one fucking likes them, and that's not homophobic either so I don't know what point you're trying to make. If you don't want to be treated differently, why make such a point about being different? It defies logic. |

I think I agree with Chrissy to an extent, the use of "we/us/our" in such a nebulous sense is a real crime in my opinion, I try to avoid it whenever possible. Before any special needs people start, I'm not talking about "we/us" in which there are definite numbers of people, such as "we went to the shops". What I object to is when people ascribe certain characteristics to a group to which they perceive themselves to belong, such as "we British people love our tea" (even if they drink coffee), "we black people have had a hard history" (said by people such as Sol Campbell who earn millions a year) or "we Muslims are always persecuted" (normally said by a bloke in Leeds and referring to the Iraq War). It's really unhelpful, mostly untrue, demands consensus when there is none, and if you don't like people stereotyping you by lumping you all into one group, don't fucking do it to yourselves. People need to conquer this ridiculous desire to belong to illusory groups and focus on the world around them. Edited by elcule, Mar 2 2014, 11:13 AM.

Just read Campbell's piece on the Sunday Times; he's a wanker. An arrogant, deluded, extremely thin-skinned wanker. |

Ince rejects Campbell 'racism' claims Paul Ince has rejected Sol Campbell's claim that he would have been England captain 'for 10 years' if he had been white. Ince, the first black man to wear the armband for England, is the latest figure to argue against the views expressed by Campbell in a new autobiography serialised in the Sunday Times. Campbell was capped 73 times but skippered the side only three times. However, Ince pointed to the long list of England captains, arguing that most had to make do with relatively short stints in the job. "There's been me, (Tony) Adams, (Stuart) Pearce, (David) Seaman, (Alan) Shearer, (John) Terry, (Rio) Ferdinand... that's a lot of big names with a lot of big egos," Ince told the Daily Mail. "Sol's a clever, articulate man and he's a friend of mine but he wouldn't have been England captain for 10 years - nobody is. "He has obviously had different experiences to me as a footballer and I can only really talk about my own." Ince was made captain of England for the first time in 1993. He was initially reluctant to be known as the man to break a colour barrier, but said he later came to realise the significance of the moment. "For me it was the pinnacle of my career when Graham Taylor made me captain, but I can remember feeling uncomfortable with the questions," he added. "I just wanted to be the England captain, I didn't want to be remembered as the first black England captain because I didn't look at it in that way. "Then, after the game, I began to look at it in a different way because I had a lot of parents from the ghetto sending me letters telling me it had inspired their children to get jobs or to start playing football. "I don't know whether they were black, white or Asian or whatever, but it didn't matter. That meant a lot, to think that somehow I had inspired people I had never even met." |

he was at fault for both west hams goals in the first half, he was mentally fragile at that point anyway, he felt too embarrassed and down at half time so left |
