Thread Name: the Rangers 'Famine Song'
Subject: RE: the Rangers 'Famine Song'
There's an old adage that many seem to be ignoring ... two wrongs don't make a right.

ALL bigotry and racism, which the lyrics of this so-called 'song' seem to reflect whether sung in full or not, is undesirable. Nothing against people celebrating and remembering their diverse cultural heritage but when it's obviously deliberately offensive it has no place; particularly in a Glasgow footbal context, as those who have suffered the injuries from the fall-out of mindless thuggery that all too often follows these games will attest to.

People of all persuasions ought to take a more responsible approach to their behaviour, particularly in this context, as the petty points scoring noted above establishes beyond doubt. It's an e-forum equivalent to how the pub and street arguments start that end in mindless violence.

As wee Fergus would have said, get a reality check.
