I've only been on here a few weeks and I'm already disgusted by it all. I'm not sure whether the World Cup has made it worse or not, or whether it's just normal?
Maybe some people have just had too much sun.
The ironic thing is - if some of these people attacking each other met, they might likely get on...! XD

It seems to me that on Y!A many people are not looking for answers, they are looking for someone to abuse and belittle, from the safety awarded to them by the anonimity provided by the Internet. Unfortunately it seems that there is not much to be done about this matter. Hopefully when they become used to Y!A they will get bored of it, and will not persist in sharing their hatred and small minded opinions with the world.

I am. I am disgusted with it, everyone insulting everyone else just because of their race or nationality. I don't understand why people have to do that. I especially don't like those questions and answers where they say "I don't like "insert race/nationality here"people because of..." and then go through a long list of things which they don't even know are true. I mean, what's this thing about the English having bad teeth and horrible food? I know a lot of English people because I am English and not many have bad teeth and you could only say the food was bad if you had tasted everything, which these people probably haven't.
There are certain people who become worse because of the football but I would guess that those people are just like that anyway.

hi badger, ive only been here a couple of days, so can't comment on the questions i cant recall any, but can comment on racism. unfortunately we are all racist in some respect, even when we attempt to show it with humour, take the welsh/english thing.
but respect is the name, and most people who have lived in cities are multiculteral and do respect other people's religions and cultures. we are all the same under the skin if we only new it.

Images that I do not agree with influence my perception of the world before I have even perceived the world for myself. When I was younger things werent like that. I made my way through these paths with relative ease, as I passed people along the way, they were who they were. Now, those people are who I think they are. Its seems as though as I have walked longer distances and met more people I have begun to decide who the people are that I meet before I have actually met them. I am putting great emphasis on the thoughts that seem to colour my everyday experience.
The truth is that I still like to walk slowly and meet people for who they are, but the impression left from past meetings, from authority figures that taught me to be wary seem to linger. I think I understand what they were trying to do. You see, with humans, we all look the same. In the animal world, the predator looks like a predator. With humans, we all look the same. So what we do is we take small differences in appearances, or in the sounds that our mouths make, and based on this, call that kind of human the predator, or the scavenger, or the other.
You, I need to question this dichotomy that I am facing. Do I hate this group of people, or do I love them? I say out loud, I love them, but in my heart, in my deep thoughts that surface when I speak for the sake of speaking, I find that there is this hate, this impression that apprehends me when I am faced with the other. I think the only way to make peace with these thoughts is to take on board what my teacher figures have taught with some of my own salt. People arent all good all the time. Be ware, when you love you are completely open. Most people are good, no matter what they look or sound like, but no matter what they look or sound like, they can hurt you. Dont be ware of being hurt, but be ware in the way that you expect that when you love, you will be hurt. That is part of loving. Those images are there to remind you that love is not the feeling of flying through marshmallow clouds. The impression does not specifically belong to any characteristic of humanness, the impression reminds us that there is personal risk in embracing a life of fullness. Risk even just for making that decision.
It is most attractive and most brave to do something so grand. In the face of the risks you face for such a decision, despite that, the reward is incomparable.

The World Cup has nothing to do with it. Just ignorant people involve themselves in racism.

Consolation is.. they are not many. But they are loud! And because bugs of the same species flock together, you get to see them abusing and bashing that innocent silent type together!
No matter how nicely put, other ppl with good intentions striving to correct these few hardcore abusers, will fail... I've yet to see with my own eyes a redeemed racist.... And wherever they go, they make enemies, they know this for a fact, but they seem to love being hated by others...
Isn't that odd? With great "machoism", despite being daily target of hate, they try to raise their heads, with an egoist label of "freedom-of-speech warriors"
OH.......... I just pity these creatures of the dark................
...................................... and they attract flies too.............
..............bzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................WHACK!

I'm not bored by it. I am disheartened, saddened, disgusted, but not bored. You'll find bigots everywhere you go. Perhaps it will be your well thought out answer that will help them become more tolerant. God bless!
