Thanks for answering yourself there nick.
Seriously, I'm bored with this discussion. If I want to call my 'Friend' what I want aslong as he is cool with it. Then I will do. You cannot tell me to do otherwise, nor I can tell you that you should start to pray to Allah and start to believe in God.

The difference these is religion is a choice, if people choose to believe silly things, they deserve to have themselves mocked. The colour of your skin is something you cant choose. I am not arguing with your right to say it, i believe in freedom of speech, i am arguing with why you are saying it and pointing out how morally corrupt it is to say stuff like that. This debate isnt even about what you call your boss, its about you being racist about balotelli.

So now you mock religion? seriously if another poster questions my post and will talk to him. Your putting out double standards here. If people wan't to belive something why do they deserved to be mocked? is that not discriminating against people who have beliefs?

You don't really choose what you believe in though. Some people try to believe in God but can't. Some people wish they didn't believe in demons. I wish I could believe that Juve would win the Scudetto but I can't. Mocking people for their beliefs is just as disgraceful because if they're "silly" or stupid, they can't really help it, can they?

Religion is a choice, at some point in your life there has been an active decision to start or continue believing something. Snake Midget is a great example, he was raised a muslim and then chose to stop believing in it. Mocking people for believes is not disgraceful, if you have chosen to believe it then you it is entirely YOUR fault for doing it. Mocking someone for the colour of their skin, hair, eyes is something that they cannot choose and therefor is morally corrupt.

Don't tell me religion isnt a choice but it just is. End of.

I am with Nick17 on this, people need to stop getting offended by jokes, seriously if we could take racial issues less seriously instead of getting so angry over words the world would be a better place for it

Have a chat with the people that hitler created into a race in WW2 and see what they have to say about the issue. Or people that were discriminated against under the aparthaid in South Africa. Racism is an extremely serious issue, dont just dismiss it.

You are talking to one, i am non religious and im telling you its a choice. I was raised Protestant, went to a Protestant school, and i thought about it for a minute and realised how ridiculous it all was. Its a choice.

Yeah, it is a choice, but believing is not. Trust me, I tried to believe in stuff but couldn't. It's all about how you perceive things.

Religion is a choice, yes. Believing is not.
How can belief not be a choice?

'Belief is the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise to be true.'

At some point you have chosen to take the step believing something to be true.

You can't force yourself to believe or not believe something because you want to. Have you tried? If you believe something it's because you really think it's true. I don't know how differently I can say it.

I really wanted to believe in Christianity and I tried, but I couldn't help but doubt.

Anyway, I'm out for now. Peace sisters.

I don't know where this discussion ended up but you shouldn't call a black person a nigger and you definitely shouldn't talk about some "typical nigger attitude".

The worst thing I know is people that have never been victims to racism try to explain what's racism and whats not.
