...ironically living in Holland

Dirty Harry alive and well on the EDF....

It was a fantastic win with all that weight - as you said the GC could be great again this year

That's better...so far

Man U next week...we'll need 7!

It's nothing to do with what happened 29 years ago as anyone actually reading posts rather than pontificating would see

Es?

Well. Maybe read the how to use the forum bit before you start duplicating threads, just an idea of maybe 'being polite'? Welcome.

See ya then

Where's their bottle of cider?

Rather than the original one?

Why aren't they Bowling?

Shall I start another thread for my reply?

I'm not ashamed of my colour or being English Y-Man. Wipe that foamy spittle of your jacket and calm down.

Santerne - I respect your views and in no way think they are racist. I also think, I suspect like you, that one of the reasons for the rise of the BNP is a lack of willingness to engage in honest discussion about issues such as immigration, positive discrimination etc. I have on several occasions, including recently and fairly vocally defended posters against accusations of racism for having 'non-pc' views on this issue and as you eloquently posted recently Pc-ness has emasculated debate on these issues in the US for instance. However. Away from the issues of race/immigration/difference/racial politics etc which should all be able to be discussed in a grown up democracy, but on a terminology/semantic level, whatever you want to call it, I don't think I as a white person have much right to decide what phrases and terminology are and aren?t racist against black people. And, thankfully what was once seen a s perfectly acceptable is now largely rejected by decent thinking people, and to a degree that has been because of some the efforts of the 'PC lobby' ..although Y-Man sees it differently [quote name=That was the first time I came up against this ridiculous, politically retarded mindset. It has only got worse since then.] Personally I'm glad people don't black up for TV, the term wogs isn't seen as a perfectly acceptable and white people don't bandy around the word nigger without a care like they did in the 70s.

Patronising as well as an idiot - nice combination.

Uncle Ben is now Chairman of the Board and I don't see how it's vaguely racist....Darkey Toothpaste - because don't black people have shiney white teeth, get it - is clearly so and as your original link shows (to the Slavery Museum) many black people presumably felt so too. Obama Fingers just shows how stupid marketing people are, even in Germany.

What Sean said. I don't think or certainly presume that most posters on here have much right to deem what is racist and what isn't racist. And it's so called political 'retardism' which got the awful shite like the Black & White Mintesrels show off our television and the casual 'oh it's only a joke' racism that was the prevalent back then. I remember black mates within my group of mates being called things like 'Spear chucker' as supposed banter. I'm proud to say I never joined in as I felt uncomfortable with it then and could see my black mates were I'm less proud to say that I never had the guts to pull my other mates up on it back then. It shouldn't have been 'alright' then and thankfully more and more people realise that it isn't now. And yes this thread is an awfull embarrassment and should disappear.

Same old West Ham

Class showed!

You see you've opened a can of worms here Mick....did you just make it up?

Class war alive and well in 2009.......I thought we were in Salford 1925 for a minute. Still at least one of the candidates isn't a Lord's daughter who privately educated her children and has independent wealth...oh hang on a minute!

yeah, cos existing politicians have really proved themselves competent, honest and principled
