Good answer, fatty.

Mine was very much on topic. Fury has been telling people he loves dags and quoting for paving all day on Twitter.

It's as open to ridicule as being fat.

And I think DJ's comments were probably actually aimed at Az....

OK, so its OK to discriminate against people for making a lifestyle choice ? Like say being a muslim, thats a choice, should we openly discrimate against muslims ?
They were probably aimed at Az, does that mean nobody else can comment on them, is that a boxing board rule ?

Depends about how much of a pansy you want to be really. I am fat, if/when someone quips about it I don't go on about "weight discimination". The D word is thrown around way too liberally for my liking, taking the urine is taking the urine. And yes, I do think any lifestyle choice should be open to free discussion.

So you choose to discriminate against people who choose to use the word discriminate.

Lol

I like what you did there....but no, I just laugh at people who choose to use the D word as and when it suits them.

Box of frogs here - but if you're a muslim, why have thousands of muslims taken to the street to debate someones "choice" in making a film about them?

You can't wear one shoe and not the other. What you're spouting here Diggers is that nothing can be debated by anybody because its their choice? Or it can?

Fury chose to be a traveller. Its not in his heritage - otherwise he'd have been born on a camp site, or in Ireland or have some sort of link other than "my grandmother is irish"

Basically it allows him to sound like he's a normal bloke. He's not, he's a bit of a joke.

In what way? He was born a traveler. Hardly a choice. The choice was made for him. Why refer to him as a "pikey" which is a derogatory word used to described travellers. People are permitted to protest and abuse. Is it ok to refer to a black person using the N word? Or a jew using the K word? Personally when referring to Fury as a "pikey" it says more about the person than it does about Fury. Its wrong and shows the person as being totally ignorant. Just my opinion and genuinely held also.

Its pretty simplistic to say its just a lifestyle choice and ignore everything in his childhood that would influence the choices that he, or any traveller, would make.

Being a decent normal human being isn't enough these days. You need a niche and being a pikey, muslim, woman, gay gets you more rights than others. Totally wrong, but that is the direction this county is headed.
