Easy solution. Create a White Footballers Association.
If people cry racism tell them to shove their double standards and hypocrisy where the sun don’t shine. 8) 8)
Unfortunately, we may have to arm our police.
With police officers being shot at and having grenades thrown at them – this really is a sign of the times.
Especially with the immigrant element of crime now, we’re getting African and Asian gangs armed to the teeth invading Britain.
Our police need firepower to fight back.
You don’t annoy me :lol: you said something incorrect so I explained, no malice intended. I’m often incorrect and I’m always grateful when corrected so I don’t make the same mistake in the future.
Education is the key to life. :)

It’s a shame that you don’t know the meaning of plagiarizes. But, considering you can’t even spell it that’s no surprise. :lol:
It’s ‘plagiarises’ actually.
I had no need for a dictionary either! However, if I WERE to look for an online one, I would be sure to choose one with English rather than American spellings :wink:
I wouldn’t normally have passed comment … but the irony made me giggle.
Well if you want to get pedantic, it’s actually plagiarizes. Ise is Normanized spelling, Ize has always been correct English spelling. However, it IS always Ism (never Izm). Ism is correct English, Izm is American English exclusively.
You’re forgiven for your elementary mistake, the majority of people get confused between English/American English when it comes to the whole Ise/Ize/Ism/Izm thing.
But it’s quite simple.
Ize/Ise = British English (Pre-Norman, Post-Norman)
Ism = British English
Izm = American English
So for example, in England. Realize would be correct. Realise, would also be correct. Realism would be correct, realizm, however, would be incorrect.
The Americans do also use the correct English spelling of Ize, but you are right in modern Britain both the correct English of Ize and the Normanized English of Ise are academically acceptable.
As a staunch Eurosceptic and considering I can’t stand the French, I prefer to use the standardized pre-Norman traditional English syntax.
Again, Sue, please feel free to visit the free dictionary site here: http://www.dictionary.com and look up the word irony.
Will people please stop using words they don’t know the meaning of? It’s awfully tiring.
Dan, pray do tell which website you believe this piece was from. There is no battle, young man. It’s the internet – calm down.

I did not write the article, nor did I claim to. Hence why it was in quotes, as I quoted it.
Here’s a website for you:
http://www.dictionary.comIt’s free to use, so do please feel free to look up words you don’t know the meaning of before using them :)
From what I gather from the case, they’ve found evidence that he’s disposed of the body, or perhaps even a confession.
In Britain, you can be charged if no body has been found – if it can be proved that a body was disposed of.
Not sure if it’s the same in America, I think their’s their courts that require tangible evidence of murder, such as a body.
Jen Jen’s right.
It’s not forums/chatting in general that are dying off, it’s the areas of interest.
Back in the 90s/early 00s when we suddenly moved on from BBS to live chatting and fancy forums during the .com boom it was all.. new and exciting. We were meeting people we’d never have met in real life, larger than life characters, people from around the world, it was fun and refreshing.
We could joke, banter, talk about anything and nothing, make new friends.
That… has died off. The net’s become more niché than it was.
A forum targeted towards a particular niché or area of interest is far more likely to succeed than a forum for….. nothing. We’ve done nothing, nothing doesn’t interest any more.
Also social networking has contributed to this, through social networks we can connect with more specific people, we can narrow people down to like-minded potential friends and groups.
But social networks are also slowly dying off as the novelty has worn off – chatting to strangers is, again, slowly on the rise.
So communities targeted towards a particular group will grow from strength to strength as Jen aptly put it, whereas generalized communities and social networks with no particular genre are dwindling as once the novelty goes.. the interest goes.
I fell into this trap a bit, I re-created FC with the same mind-set of the last site, but what made my last site successful will not make the new site successful as the market and target audience has changed. Over the next few weeks I’ll be slowly tweaking and redeveloping certain aspects of the site, creating a specific niché for the community, and then optimize the site’s browser titles, page titles, meta keywords, meta title tags, search engine descriptions etc targeting that particular audience.
I have a love/hate relationship with the internet. That is.. I hate it, but it makes me money so I love it. :lol:
