racist org

[sweetpea]

I'm getting sick fed up every time I come on here seeing downers on people. It's getting to the point that I come on here less and less. So many posts against people. Anyone else feel like this?

I agree...I hope you don't see myself as "racist", I believe in fairness...and have made this clear on many a post I have made.

[TRUCKER]

People should be able to say what they want without others downing them. It is not nice running people down the org should be a place where views like that are not welcome.

Sweetpea you are not alone in what you are feeling.........seems there are those who have yet to look beyond skintone and religious background and beliefs. Shame..............................

..unfortunately it goes way beyond racism....and all they can do when you challenge is descend into school playground name calling

[northener]

Sweets, no.

There's a lot of robust discussion on here, but nothing that I would say is out and out racist.

I see a few threads that I don't like the tone of (generally speaking), but at the end of the day, we are all entitled to our say - even if we disagree vehemently wirth another poster.

To take the discussion further, could you give some exampes of what you have in mind?

[sweetpea]

Never thought about you in this way at all. I just can't stand this crap about mulims, seeks, gaelic speakers etc its wearing me down. I never thought Caithness people were so narrow minded.

Northener, lately all I see is posts about how awful other cultures are but I sometimes wonder how mnany of the posters actually represent Caithness.

[TBH]

Caithness people have their opinions the same as anyone else.
Why would robust debate wear you down?

Because I reckon if we all said where we stay it would tell a different story. All I have ever found in Caithness is tolerance. So who's first where do we all live?

Surely the org is there for,amongst other things, to let people have their say on whatever topic they feel is relevent. If people do not like this that is their business, but, I am sure that we have all made comments, however slight, which someone has taken offence to. live and let live

Search the Org, we have all given this information openly before.

Quote yourself, "All I have ever found in Caithness is Tolerance", so ergo Caithness people are not really surprising you with their racism because you know it is in a minority?

And on a lighter note

Go on Sweetpea, post something and then you'll be a 1K orger

Glad to say I live in Caithness...........but born and raised in Glasgow and lived, was educated, worked and socialised with folks of differing race, creed and colour..............We a re all the same under our skin....human beings.

Depends on the defination of human. Humanity to me is being together, tolerant, non judgemenatal and encouraging each other to do well not putting people down. I personally couldn't give a fig what colour, creed, sexuality or religion anyone else happens to be. I don't see an awful lot of this on the org these days.

sorry but i couldn't care less about this, maybe a few moths ago I'd have got excited about it but these days on here it makes me depresssed.

Sweets,

So it would be fair to say that if we live in a tolerant society in Caithness, we should extend that tolerance to a website that represents our county. ie: the .Org?

Surely this should include tolerance of a wide range of opinions?

I'm not trying to do you down, just putting across the point that although we may not agree with each other (although everyone should agree with me), we are, as a community, tolerant of all opinions if they reasonable.

Surely this is the sign of a healthy community?
