    Oh I do sunshine, I made my point very clear, if you dont 'GET' it then that is not my problem.

    People on here hate to see an alternative argument.:D

    If people don't "get" your point (however wrong your point may be), it is your problem if you haven't communicated what you intended.

    Maybe so - but a moron with a probably lucrative career in annoying people on TV with her outrageous views. ;)

    It's all about the money. :rotfl:

    Hmm, yes... So it seems.

    Doesn't make what she said any less vile though.

    I suppose she's done what she set out to though and secured her next television appearance and pay day :mad:

    You rolled eyes exactly after saying the names, which looks like you are making a judgment on them.
    No as I clearly explained why I rolled eyes, she said hates geographical names yet one is called India. I have no issues with her childs names, they are not my choice not a judgement on the human being though. Whereas she clearly said she would judge a human on their name. I can dislike a name does not mean for minute that I dislike or judge them as a person.

    Likewise a lot of people in my family have disliked my youngest childs name, and have told me so but they love my child.

    So no that in no way shape nor form makes me the same as her ever.

    No, no....I fully "get" your point. It's just that it's a stupid point.

    You've not made any "argument", alternative or otherwise. You've stated the other poster's comment suggested an attitude which it simply didn't. That's all.

    Ridiculous

    Your post said nothing about geographical names, you must mean a previous post you made, if this is the case you should make this clear.
    Also in the same post you made a judgement against the person this thread is about, which indeed makes you judgmental.

    Silly me making a judgement about someone ruining 3 long term marriages, which a lot of children's families were ruined by. God you are right I am in the same category as someone who judges someone on their name.

    And I would have assumed you would have watched the interview therefore seen her statement about geographical names. I am clueless as to why you want to cause an argument really I am. I mean your random statement about Muslims was just plain weird and yet you pull me up for a valid point !!!

    Seriously, it's called CONTEXT...You have to look at the thread as a whole, not take a small part of an individual post and pick at it.

    There were so many references to the geographical thing earlier in the thread, if you're really unable to link those to the post in question, you must be pretty well "on the spectrum" as they say.

    To be fair, Katie Hopkins did do all on those things in Foxn86's first comment - does that make stating them judgemental?

    I Think alot of white middle class parents would have a problem if there daughter came home with a new boyfriend that was muslim with a long beard and was a strict follower of Allah, that also hated the British governement.

    However you cant say it, as you would be called a racist or a hater.

    Bit of a strange thing to bring up... Are you attempting to start a racial debate here?

    I am not going to argue with you as you clearly are attempting to insult me in a sneaky way by trying to be clever and skating around the boundaries of innapropriate language.

    I have made my point crystal clear, I am sorry you do no understand.
