Yeah, that pretty much sums me up. I try not to judge them, but generally leave the conversation if they start going on and on about it. And I try to make sure I'm not there when people are out doing that kind of thing.Originally Posted by Kylez
If people want to drink, fine. I don't like it and don't want to be a part of it, but I'm not going to force my views onto them because of that. Its a personal choice.
Yeti Sports 1.5 Champion! Half of my friend group are exactly the same, every weekend they end up smashed. And it ruins them. It really does.
I swear half my school is involved in some 'cruiser challenge' thing. Yay for binge drinking competitions
I'll admit, I did it a couple of times. But I never got completely drunk and I managed to learn from my mistakes and get out before it was too late. And yeah, the amount of people doing it is crazy. Its not fun watching helplessly as your friends screw up their lives.
Celebrating the defining moments of CW:
JMAS- What a guyJono: And no one likes your idea because its ****ty American poo.
Nnanden: Same, but that's because Andy OWNS MY SOUL
silentstriker: I'll start fishing for compliments when I can see all of my junk when I look down.
Have you been tested?

RIP Craigos"He's [Michael Clarke] on Twitter saying sorry for not walking? Mate if he did that in our side there'd be hell to play. AB would chuck his Twitter box off the balcony or whatever it is. Sorry for not walking? Jesus Christ man."
Are they screwing up their lives though? For some people yes, but for a fair amount of people drinking is just good fun ( for me it is when I do it ). I've only been fairly drunk/smashed a few times and I don't consider myself a screw up.
This bloke knows where it's at ^.

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Being proud of your race is ok, unless your white, then it's racist | Facebook
AMong the gems:
"it doesnt matter what colour u are we all have the same body parts and same feelings, just i believe if u werent born here then you should go home im not being Racist but thats wat i believe, people come over here and get handed everyfink on a plate.. And i hate it when i see advert for people to donate money to the children in africa at the end of the day if u cant afford them or look after them then dont have them!!! "
"Blacks and Asians are so quick to blame us for all the problems in their ****ty little lives..."
"Oh this is so true. This is why I hate this ****hole 70% ain't even English "
And then thankfully I found this:
"quite honestly looking through these comments theres no reason for white people to be proud of their race. I was but turns out there are a lot of racist ****s out there. **** the BNP"
What depressed me was that I found this page through quite a few friends liking it. I'm not the most liberal-minded or politically correct guy out there, but seriously. WTF.
I'm just saying
RIP Craigos. A true CW legend. You will be missed.
Haha, I was thinking that when I first saw you post the link (about you not being the world's biggest liberal), that it'd be a funny pisstake or something. But it was just sad...
What really grinds my gears is that I'd have to Like it to post on there and tell them all how ****ing stupid they are. Maybe for the best tbf
Curveball Champion! Yeah facebook really is the pits for stuff like that. Just tend to avoid anything that looks like that before I get annoyed.
Curveball Champion! Sometimes totally worth it though. The response to some bint trolling on a RIP Ryan Dunn page..
You're very ugly, so your opinion doesn't matter Jade. Please proceed to die in a pit.
wish there was a like button on cricketweb
There are conditions that breed these attitudes though.. We're dealing with that in post-apartheid South Africa right now.. The viewpoints might be misguided and ill-thought, but the reasons for them being there aren't always so..
Well, to be fair to them, liking a Facebook page doesn't mean you support all the comments; just the title of it and the description (if it has one). And while the title obviously lends itself to moron racists liking it and posting comments, I don't think there's that much wrong with the sarcastic statement in itself. There's a little bit of truth to it in some areas of society IMO.
No doubt those comments you posted, and the vast majority of them on there, are an absolutely disgrace to humanity though. They anger me greatly. People like that do absolutely nothing to support the cause of those who think political correctness has gone too far in some areas and that some people are becoming over-sensitive to things completely out of context. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find any sort of association or group that opposes political correctness, affirmative action etc that hasn't been over-run by moron racist rednecks. What grinds my gears is racists thinking colour-blindness appeals to their ideals.

Nah, the sentiment in the title is garbage as well.
The thing is, being "proud of your race" in and of itself is pretty stupid, without specific social conditions to make it relevant. There's nothing to be proud of, right? You didn't do anything to earn your racial categorisation and, racists aside, nobody thinks it defines your character that you are a particular race, so what exactly are you proud of?
The sole and obvious exception to this is if you are raised in a social environment that teaches you that your race is somehow inferior or undesirable, and deal your whole life with people looking at and treating you differently because of this broad categorisation which should obviously define absolutely nothing about who you can be. In that situation, saying "you know what? I'm proud of my race" is a meaningful political statement, in the same way as being proud to be gay is a meaningful statement in a cultural climate that hates gay people. It's coming forward and saying "**** you, there's nothing wrong with what I am, no matter what you tell me". It is not, in short, about saying that your race is somehow better than the alternative, which is what pride would imply under other conditions.
Being proud to be white, or any other social group that is the un-marked representation of the status quo in your particular culture is problematic and suggests predjudice, because you have nothing to be proud of. You're essentially claiming pride in something which carries absolutely no cultural significance, is the active definition of normality in your culture and limits and defines you in no way at all, but that is defined in some areas of your culture as better than the alternative. You're aligning yourself with those elements in the process. It's like saying "I'm proud to be somewhere between 4 and 8 feet tall".
