[Woodstock]

Some of my posts have been taken down?

just so I don't cross the line what subjects can we not talk about?

Any views expressed by the Daily Mail are not considered suitable for this board

That answer does seem to me that this board is heavily censored then,

Now, I'm all willing to try and fit it, but this is meant to be a 'in the pub section' but no-one can talk about anything that gets on their goat in the world?
Just because my views might be different from yours should you ban them?
There's been plenty of talk about various football fans accusing each other of dreadful things and I don't think that's right.
In fact a lot of it is downright despicable but those posts are still up.
Immigration, Muslim women wearing veils and the threat of terrorism are all issues that could be addressed sensibly and in most pubs I frequent they are talking points.

what are the rules here then?

Let me know when you're going to start....

Ok I'll start with the Veil

As far as I'm aware the full veil is a culture requirement in certain Islamic States where the status and rights of the female do not exist. I think I'm right in saying that rarely was the full veil seen in this country until very recently. Its increasing use is surely a political statement. A statement that does nothing for mutual respect and harmony across the different races and religions that make up the UK. This I find worrying. I don't like the idea of banning anything that is not illegal but there may be case for totally banning the veil.

Chess is a good board game. Shall I explain the rules?

Didn't I read this in the Daily Mail yesterday?

No. It's because your grammar's so shite.

Whooooooosh!!












(For clarification, that's the sound of my post going straight over Woodstock's head at high speed)

I was with you up to "I don't like the idea of banning anything", but you lost me after that...
