Fred...it isn't that you are not honest, we are just floored with your lack of awareness of how dumb you sound...

From my experience its quite typical of some Brit ex-pats in the US.

I once met a British Indian couple who claimed to have moved to America to escape from racism before launching into a tirade about how their town was being ruined by dirty Mexicans who couldn't even speak English. Irony wasn't their strong point.

Feel free to carry on as you are and slate me for being honest with my views cos i don't really give a damn to be truthful and right this minute i have more important things to be doing in my life :up:

I cannot think of a single occasion on which you have done anything other than offer an opinion in a discussion and then, when you've been criticised for it, had a go at those criticising you without offering the slightest bit of detail or rebuttal of that criticism. Then you bugger off citing your busy life, as though the rest of us who continue having our debates are somehow workshy layabouts by comparison. Why bother posting on what is, after all, a discussion forum, if you're not willing to enter into a discussion?

If you want your contributions to be thought of as constantly pointless and ill-founded rather than occasionally thought-provoking and insightful, then by all means plough right ahead with your current approach.

But i have one thing in my favour that you don't have.. i don't try to belittle people and make them feel worthless like you try to do with your arrogant remarks all the time to me. I'm very happy thank you and enjoying life

Feel free to keep on attacking me as much as you like Dunnell..i'm just glad i'm not you

It doesn't seem to just be me holding this view, but never mind. I refer you to Mark in Oshawa's post. If you don't want people to criticise your opinions, either don't post them or try and back them up. That's all I have to say on the matter, not that it will ever get through.

Now I work in the construction industry in the South West so I'm fairly used to right wing views which I don't agree with. However today I was alone in the office so was playing a bit of reggae on the laptop, not blaring out but just as a bit of background. Anyway one of my colleagues comes back in and I joke about turning up the music and getting the bass cranked. As expected he makes a commet about reggae being crap to which I said 'why do you say that' Expecting the usual 'well it just is' or 'too muc bass' sort of answer I could only stare dumfounded when he said "well for a start they're black".

Now I know that my views are really relaxed when it comes to race and nationality but I really can't get my head around the idea of writing off a whole genre of music based on the colour of someones skin. In my mind it's beyond the usual sort of moaning that you get from right wing types and just an excessively hatful thing to have said. The stupid thing is that he's a nice bloke, just having lived in small Devonshire towns for 40 or so years has had a fairly extreme effect.

Unless he's heavily into country or folk that guy is retarded. Music today owes a huge debt to Afro-Caribbeans.

My point is racism is apolitical, period.

Perhaps you could produce a quote where I stated that. All I can find that is remotely close to that is:
The Church of Jesus Christ Christian is.
That is the name the KKK uses thes days, or at last check were!
I may have said That KKK were Overwhelmingly from the right, which they are!
Sorrrry! :)
