Re: Is It Time For Me To Fight?

It is not about being racist. It is about being able to tell it like it is without all this PC crap.
Labelling someone racist is an easy way to halt any discussion on ANYTHING.
The developments in Rotherham, Rochdale, Reading and many other places prove that.....and it seems to me that racism is a one way street...only white people can be called racist......when in actual fact there is much racism from other ethnic groups.

During my long career I had the privilege of working with many races and creeds. I got on with all of them, because there was a level of respect for the culture and differences of each of them.
It seems that the aims to make the UK multicultural have had an adverse effect because w e can see(from personal experience) that some races seem to be pandered to and we have had our own culture diluted. We are tolerant of their culture, their religion, their way of life....but due to those who invoke the racist card it makes it seem that they are intolerant of our culture, our religions and our way of life.
Now if you want to call me a racist because I have expressed these views with honesty and transparency, then be my guest. I won't be changing my ideas anytime soon.

Nah Frank, it's even better to put an order in then wait until they're ready to cash up ... then walk out.

Yeah, yeah, juvenile & petty I know, but extremely gratifying. Of course you can never use said establishment ever again mind unless they change ownership.

Better still ring up(best use someone else's mobile - preface the call with the number which hides your number) make a gigantic order and give them a fictitious address

It used to be like that in many places in Wales. You could walk into a shop and they would be speaking English and as soon as you spoke they would revert to speaking Welsh.

As I said Less, they obviously can do without your money....so spend it elsewhere.
the welsh stunt happened to one of our members here who dosnt come on much anymore but what they didnt realise was that she had lived in wales a long time and spoke their language and called them something not so nice in their own tongue.

as for less's problem it is supposed to be considered ignorant for asians to use non english language infront of people but its often deliberatly done and mostly by the younger asians. The only time i hear an asian pal of mine speaking it is when on the phone to his grandfather or other family member who isnt too good with english

When I was growing up we used to go camping in Wales....and this kind of thing happened a lot. It caused my mother to learn Welsh(she is fluent in 13 languages)...it transpired that Welsh people using the shop paid different prices for their goods......with those speaking english paying a premium.
Mother learning Welsh and speaking it meant that she got stuff at the same price as the locals.

Well, it's good to know that someone who thinks Tourettes is funny is at least anti-racist. Just goes to show no-one is all bad.

It was the context in which Less made the " they the brown jobs" remark that I thought was slightly racist M, I agree with 99% of your comment.

Folk can find humour in many different things G (even racism),even though to some folk them things can seem a bit twisted (like Tourette's).
Take South Park's episode on Tourette's as another example....there was a few parts that actually made me laugh out loud. But personally, I feel rather bad for those folk with Tourette's lord knows what they're struggling with on a day to day basis.

Anyway, you 'the white jobs' No more name calling of folk because of skin pigmentation

You see....I find nothing at all funny in South Park or any of that kind of comedy and I think Frankie Boyles type of humour is appalling.......and in very bad taste.

Re: Is It Time For Me To Fight?

tourettes can be highly amusing infact hillarious as a sufferer from the condition not only proved but also made a lot of money from by making karaoke tourettes cd's

most of his work can be found easily on youtube and he has his own fan site which i wont post links to either as its a family forum and i think its safe to assume most know what kind of language can be used.

his lady in red cover is hillarious but as he released more songs his bad language got less so i guess in a way hes curing himself by using teh power of music lol

if hes ever exposed as a fraud he will be F'd
