Labelling housemates (or anyone, really) in this way based on factors like where they live comes across as discriminatory ... please use discretion when posting in the future. Thanks.

Wtf? Firstly I have no idea where they live, I am merely surmising from the way they behave. What next? Will it be deemed inappropriate to say that Cian is from Ireland or Northern Ireland because his accent sounds Irish to me?
So, no factors on my side. I don't research the housemates in any way through other media, that includes Twitter and Facebook. I form my opinions solely on what is presented to me in the Daily Highlights Show.
Regarding labelling' - this is just such a convenient word to excuse the stifling of Free Speech these days. We NEED labels, because without labels there is no distinction between right and wrong, or male and female, hot, cold... need I continue? Our language could not exist without labels. As people, we all are being labelled beginning from the day we are born. A naughty child, an obedient child etc...
Now, as adults, superiors label their employees as competent, incompetent, less competent hardly competent, a waste of time, an asset to the company... is this just happening in my dreams or is it actually reality?
It's peculiar how we still struggle with the term 'discrimination'. The word has a negative connotation but only because of habit, because of laziness and convenience. In itself, 'discrimination' means distinction - nothing more, nothing less. We NEED to discriminate many times every day. Without discriminating we cannot make decisions, we are unable to make a choice.
Even the Buddha knew that.
So why am I writing all this down? It is because I'd like to have it spelled out just what kind of terminology is acceptable on this board, in order not to 'offend' someone and to be more 'discreet' and thus not create further inappropriate content.
Fair request, I should think.
