Liam Neeson

What's Hot
Emp_FabEmp_Fab Frets: 24210
Boils my piss.  Not Liam Neeson, but all the morons calling for his head on a pike because he told the story of how he once wanted to attack a black man, any black man, after a friend of his was raped by one.  He told the story about how he was so furious that his anger drove him to that place, and that he realised afterwards how wrong that was, and that we should be more honest in our discussions about racism.  Absolutely Liam.  Yet, here we are with the professionally-waiting-to-be-offended completely missing the entire point of your disclosure and screaming "RACIST !!!  RACIST !!!".

They are so short-sighted, or just too thick, to be unable to comprehend what he's actually saying.  It's depressing and merely reaffirms my belief that the vast majority of people are complete numbnuts, dingleberries and spudnudgers.
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

    Explain yourself.  Are you suggesting that my defence of Neeson indicates a liking for the Daily Twat ?

    The way it's written kind of suggests if you were reading it you'd be getting spit all over the laptop screen.

    You are also complaining about people being closed minded on a subject whilst also stating that people who hold a different opinion are stupid.

    Completely agree. I just turned off the BBC news earlier because they were going on and on about it. The professionally offended political correctness brigade out in force without actually listening to what he said.

    He gave a straight-up honest account of something he did years ago, which he wasn’t proud of, and admits his mistakes.

    I wish there were more people like him in the world.

    We were probably all a bit racist in the 70s it was pretty much the cultural norm, I remember my dad dropping some right clangers when I was a kid, thing is I remember laughing along with him half the time.

    I never really trusted the Clangers.. but dropping them is a bit harsh!

    So, . . . It took me a while to figure out but it seems I have chosen the correct option to stay away from mainstream crap. I can recommend loads of YouTube guitar related channels.

    If you're promoting a film, keep it light and tell a few funny anecdotes. He wouldn't have told this story on the Graham Norton Show, I don't understand how he thought it would go down better in The Independent.

  • Watch his interview on ABC and John Barnes on Sky then make your mind up.

    I have no idea why he thought it was a good idea to make this story public.

    In fairness he should have thought about that before opening his mouth. I have no sympathy to be honest. This is the world we live in - his career is finished. He was told not to turn up to the premiere of his new film last night.

    What if his friend had been raped by a white man? Would he have had similar thoughts? Should just have kept this to himself.

    The man's a twat.

    The whole premier was cancelled. He has said yes he would have had similar thoughts if the rapist had been white ( ‘if he’d been Irish, Scot, Lithuanian...’). 

    Neeson still feels bad about angry thoughts he had 40 years ago and that seems okay. I think some of the PC reactions are a bit ridiculous, Barnes’ comments seem about right but Neeson was very naive in saying this in the first place.

    He addressed this in his ABC interview, if you believe him. He said he’d have wanted revenge against whoever it was.

    Don't disagree his career is likely finished.

    Fair enough ... these days rule one is keep your mouth shut with anything to do with race, gender etc.

    Edit: the film screening went ahead. The film company cancelled the red carpet event and told Neeson not to turn up.

    Well I must be thick then because I don’t understand what he’s saying. Is he saying that if your friend gets raped by a black man then it’s understandable to be so angry that you want to murder a black man, any black man? Um, sorry but that is racist.
