	Anisty- Prozac 11:17 17/3/2004	seeing far too much of this in irc recently.... some people do it to joke with their friends but i've seen that turn into 2 hour long chains of racist dribble and it's just not needed. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	arsen Head Arse UKTerrorist 11:19 17/3/2004	(This was an automated post) I'm sure most regulars of this site will be aware of the problem of racism within the UK CS community. Although we as staff do our best to discourage and remove all racist comments, sometimes one slips by. A UKT member, who wishes to remain nameless, has written a piece about his past experiences and views on racism. The article is a nice length and contains some interesting examples. As a devoted godfather to a half-cast niece, every time I see racist comments being made in a Counter-Strike server it makes me think of her. I sometimes actually wonder what her life will be like in the near future as she walks into school. Will she get shunned by the other kids simply because of her skin colour? What if she experiences the emotions and such that were explained in the paragraph above? No matter what way you look at it- be it your friends, family, online friends or in my case, my god-daughter, it's hard not to worry about how they are feeling. There will be many people reading that will need to take heed of this posters words and understand the effects of their comments. Check out the full article here. Update: m0rphy has written a column in reply to the above article, it can be found right here. Finally, those of you who have been waiting on the edge of their seat for the results of my best column ever feature will have to wait a bit longer. I'm forced to let the poll run for a few more days as it appears the Blaster and Cancer Research columns are neck and neck! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Iccy 11:40 17/3/2004	Playful "ribbing" and derogitory comments happens in all team sports Ive ever played in. And a lot of the time it all helps to build the team spirit when you can joke with your mates and have a laugh which it always was because you never took it seriously and you gave as good as you got. 99% of the time Id say the same applies online, with people I know and have met we do have a go at each other, call each other gay or ugly etc. I agree with your racism comments though, most people just spout racist comments because they cant think of anything better to say.

	FELLA 12:36 17/3/2004	"Being fat is a lifestyle choice, being black/white/whatever isn't. " Tell that to Michael Jackson ... People are racist to some degree or other, put it this way how many of you white people who say they aren't racist would like to see your mum on the arm of something that looks like it's just dropped out of a tree and then picture her getting speared by his 12 inch Black Mamba ... fact of life whether people have the balls to admit it is another thing. You put a bunch of black lads together and watch them rip into us 'honkies'. It's not even down to your skin colour, Scousers and Mancs 'hate' each other it's imprinted in their DNA. Even Blacks from the Caribbean hate Africans and every creed I know hates the Somalians. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

What is racism? not just being black or white or pink or brown i mean whats the difference between abusing someone who is a different colour or abusing someone coz of where they are from? i.e "u northern b****" "scottish c*" "sheep shagger". is no different and the amount of times i been called a nigga from asians over the net lol even though i white!

	David Smith Infinity-eSports 14:10 17/3/2004	Fella touches on a good point. It’s not just skin colour. Take for example: India – Pakistan. Celtic – Rangers. Israel – Palestine England – Ireland. The list is could be endless! It is difference that breads racism, stigmatism, isolationism, hatred, anger and other tensions related to what is different, what scares us and what is acceptable. Pressures of modern society bread hatred, both racial and cultural. So therefore we as members of society have a choice in how we perceive difference, a personal retrospective based upon our location in the world. We are all different, every single one of us! Next time you pick on someone because they are different remember that you are again different to them and to the next person and so on and so on, an indefinite loop of difference. Peace! -Dave.

	Venomous BLACKLiGHT 14:15 17/3/2004	can i just say something, i agree entirely with the column. But 1 reason why racism happens is because people are treated differently. Im not sure of the exact number but apprently the police force have to recruit a certain percentage of dark skinned people. Regardless of whether the white guy is better for the job. Racism is always going to be there if people are treated different. Anyway people probably dont agree with that, but thats my opinion. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	alkor 14:40 17/3/2004	Its people trying to become the music wanting to act like 50 cent/other rappers. People listen to the music and here 50 cent boasting about killing people etc etc... The people who rap and try and give out a decent message never get a look in in the music industry as aparently that just does not sell. The most successful person doing a benefit to this community was ms dynamite but she didnt really last long did she. Its about time this issue was brought up in the gaming industry basically there is a lot of racial abuse on games. Only because there is nothing being done to prevent this. Maybe banning steam id's for regular offenders on cs would be a good idea but i doubt gay valve would bother :( [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

Of course its different when your getting the s* kicked out of you for being black / white / etc. It may be easy for me to say as i am in the majority, but even so its just abuse from some random sat behind a pc.
