N-gger is a worse word than knacker but you’re half right. These were kids who got drunk and did something stupid and then said sorry. They need some sort of punishment but there’s no point in being stupid.
In ireland we’re lucky enough to live in a forgiving culture where people get second chances. We have to be careful of the creeping influence of the harsher American culture where lives are readily discarded. That’s part of the problem of what makes discourse so viscious over there, is everyone is terrified. For what it’s worse, the first mention of expulsion I saw on here came from Flatty, living in an Anglo-Saxon country the past few years.
As regards Flatty’s “everyone is racist and tribal” comment, he expressed it poorly but he was half right as well. You have to forgive yourself and you have to forgive others because everyone is going to fuck up badly sometimes. If you read the child’s apology, he’s obviously fairly distraught.
First off, assuming this nutter has gone past puberty and actually has a child.
What was the worst the child could have said? “Yes daddy I love chink food” or perhaps “yes daddy let’s get ching chong food”, I can’t think of any other way a child may say that they would like to get chinese food with a perceived slight that the woke brigade would zero in on.
The liar above who has no children decided to pen that little ditty just to appear to be in with the woke crowd. No bother starving your imaginary child, you gotto to be woke. You liked that post above @mick_jones. What do you like about it?
I suppose it’s a mater of perspective to say which word is worse, to a traveller I’d say the knacker word is worse, it’s not acceptable to use anymore in our society but it’s used liberally here, someone will use it now just because they can, the N word is used in a similar way in the US, not do much here
People should face consequences but consequences should be proportionate.
Lads who want to write off a lads life for a drunken social media comment that they apologize for are insisting on a very high bar that if applied consistently would mean that they should logically support prison sentences for all criminal acts. No second chances.
Anybody using social media from now on needs their head examined.
You avoided my questions. You said everyone is racist and asked if I was tribal to any degree, I said up limerick, there’s your answer. Why are you soft on racism and squirming instead of backing yourself up? You’re one of the soundest and most balanced lads on here the most of the time so I find it a bit odd and I’m genuinely curious.
