I guess the line should be drawn at the point where anyone shows Hate or Prejudice against someone because of purely their Race or Colour. However if people from different religions or ethnic backgrounds disagree with one another for other valid or perceived valid reasons then there should be the right of open debate, opinions and critisim. We dont live in a society where everyone has to agree with one another, to stiffle debate encourages extremism of all kinds. I dont see any evidence of racist comments on here, and its interesting that you've not been able to specifically highlight any either. I do see an ammount of anger and frustration on here though about the way debate and opinions are being manipulated by an increasingly PC driven society!. Surely your own generalistic comments about the forum is showing a kind of prejudice, buts thats your opinion, and your'e entitled to voice it. Your arguments do tend to lose much of their credibility though when you make unfounded personal attacks on individuals you happen to have differences of opinion with.
