Moderator's Warning:
There are now fewer posters in this thread.

The warning at #335 was very clear.

Moderator's Warning:
OK folks. There has been ongoing derailment for many pages. The topic is:

Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

Not Nazis, the rape of children, various religions and their culpability in that, the war in Iraq, Iran, Syria or any other place nor, most importantly, each other.

Re-focus yourselves on the topic, drop the baiting, snarking and personal comments. For those who can't or won't, you'll be assisted out of the thread and/or receive some points.


The topic is STILL not each other. Those choosing to discuss others rather than the topic or derailing with off-topic comments, will also be assisted out of the thread and/or receive points.

Serial killers kill one after another. Cereal killers reminds me of a cartoon drawn by someone who used to be very popular (but I cannot remember his name). He used the three characters from Rice Krispies (Snap, Crackle, and Pop).

She's not Hispanic, Jerry. This ethnic classification doesn't even exist in Europe. If it's ever used, it's in reference to spanish speaking Latin Americans. The people of southern Europe, be they Portuguese, Spanish, Italian or Greek are considered white over here.

You're not going to convince Jerry. Since she doesn't "look white", according to Jerry, she can't be white, in spite of the Caucasian genetics.

The funny thing is that this is a non-issue in much of southern Europe. People here would not describe themselves as white, even less so 'Hispanic', because in Spain they are properly Spanish, not just Spanish-ish, the meaning of Hispanic in the English language we use over here. There's very little kudos attached to skin colour at all, as far as I can see. Black people are called 'negros' and northern Europeans are referred to as 'muy blancos', but unlike the attitudes that seem to be emerging from our US posters, there's nowhere near the value judgements attached to such terms. They are descriptions of appearance, not of race or culture.

I've been attacked for say that Mrs Silva wasn't white, because she's got African-Brazilian antecedents, as if saying that someone isn't white is some kind of insult. I don't really think there's any such thing as race, but clearly there's such a thing as different skin colours. It's no insult to say what you see. I see a lot of people reading one thing and placing their own interpretation on it, many of which no one would place on it in other parts of the world.

Again, this is a difference between British Culture and American Culture.

For the British, it not as much about appearance, as about "CLASS" and wealth division.

Britain has a Caste system based on Income and Wealth that we only see the edges of in America. Culturally and Historically, Britain embraced Class as a social construct.

That doesn't mean that the Class system doesn't exist in America, but we go to great lengths to hide it from ourselves. America tries hard to deny Class is an American social construct.

You're partly right. I think class in the US is much more defined by wealth, whereas in Britain the brash, wealthy nouveau riche would be seen to have lesser status than the cash-strapped aristocrat. You know that the thing that almost defines class, and allows virtually every British person to be able to measure their status against everyone else, is speech. Your accent places you quite precisely in the class structure of British society in a way that doesn't happen to Americans, Australians or Canadians. Defenders of the class system would say that it's all about 'breeding', 'a good education' (meaning a private boarding school), and being 'U', as opposed to 'non-U', meaning being 'one of us'. It's bollocks, but that's how it works.

I would not say that we have no class division. We can deny it, but there are some figures. Social stratification due to differences in income Americans will continue to grow, and in the near future is not expected any change in this trend. These findings are contained in the published report, submitted to the Conference of Mayors of American cities. At the conference was also been noted that the average salary for the newly created workplace after the recent economic crisis jobs is $ 47,171 per year. While the median income for a liquidated during the crisis vacancies stood at $ 61.637. - that is, it decreased by 23%

First Brit in a very long time that I have heard admitting this publicly :) Guessing those years away from the shores of Dover might have opened your eyes a bit :)

There's no point denying it, especially given that much of my political attitudes have been formed from my disdain for the British class system. It's also part of the reason I love living in Spain. Here there's very little whiff of class prejudice, but you probably know that.

I have as little to do with the Costeros (Costa brit ex-pats) as I can, but you know, of the few Brits who are my neighbours, and despite hating myself for the instinctive reaction, I can place them all in the class system just by talking to them for 5 minutes. Weird and scary.

Yea so can I for the most part with my British friends, and that is simply because I went to an international British inspired school back in the day.. and it is scary. Only one I could not do but she has been abroad most of her life so..

Um, no. How'd you come up with that. My point is that both Russia and China have been pushing back on the US since Bush's war in Iraq, politically, and more recently economically, and militarily with increasing "incidents" as the bureaucrats like to say it. But then I suppose we're saying little about the poor woman who was beheaded, and the fact that there are those insisting that it was a crime associated with Muslim extremists.

It is obviously a crime is associated with a Muslim extremist and they have been killing innocents, or attempting to kill innocents, for some time now. This guy is no exception.

No, it's not obvious, anymore then when the average American (which happens to be Christian) commits a crime, it is associated with Christianity, because he's a Christian.

If the average American commits a crime we can usually discern the motive. If you look at the history of Muslims murdering non Muslims we can often do the same.

Do you understand the motive behind Muslims in the UK murdering Rigby? Or the Fort Hood massacre? Or the motive behind Black violence in Chicago?

One thing you may watch for is that Muslims usually shout 'Allah Ackbar' when they murder innocents whereas you seldom hear anyone shout "Praise the Lord" after non Muslim involvement.

You haven't heard that he beheaded an innocent woman and attacked other innocent people as well before meeting with success?

Any idea how many cats he decapitated?
