Crroma Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Cannae stand people who buy games consoles just for fifa and call of duty ever year and not much else. Lots of great games out there and people just lap up the same mediocre franchise every year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Democracy is a waste of time. Get everyone out of Westminster and Buckingham Palace, machine gun them into the Thames and let someone with tanks, shiny boots and an inordinate amount of medals on his smart uniform run the place. Graeme Souness could do the job IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't mention whether he thought he was dictator material though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocky Scott is another obvious candidate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s conclusive. It is not, because what if the person is not aware of that, or they were forced to do it at knife point, or they needed to portray a character and felt this need tipped the balance, or they consulted with a black peoples interest group, or they are actually a pale mixed race person and you don't realise, or they are doing a tribute for Rememberance, or they have a principled stand that it doesn't matter as long they know their intentions are not racist, or, or, or, or... Both camps - left and right - discredit themselves by this tendency towards lazy absolutism.

The OP Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 2 hours ago, Margaret Thatcher said: It is not, because what if the person is not aware of that Pretty much the only valid reason. When people point out that blacking up is regarded as offensive because of its history people who still want to black up afterwards are easily identified as twats. Unfortunately, it is hard to distinguish the ignorant from the twats without a lengthy discussion and so ignorant blacked up people are pilloried on the assumption that they are twats. Same goes for people who wear swastika armbands because they are into Hinduism or pointy headed ghost outfits because they are portraying a dead conehead. As an aside, I also know a white lassie who managed to successfully dress up as Eazy E without blacking up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once if you’re being kind, but these days I don’t think it’s acceptable to blame stupidity and a refusal to learn for people making racist statements. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
