Proof that the Taliban read Shakespeare

[Old Greg]

I couldn't agree more and that's precisely what the NATzi does, he's a bigot, liar and hypocrite. For that matter any non mod behaving as he has would probably have been banned.

I would love to know WHY he feels his agenda of branding all and sundry that dare to criticise the violent, vicious and noxious behavior of a significant portion of a religious group and more than a few national governments is racist.

Why can't NAT call someone a racist? Freedom of speech, innit?

Depends on the definition of significant really.

Well for a rough argument, let's take the usual benchmark of statistical significance, 5%.
There are 4.7 million Muslims resident in France.
For there to be a statistically significant proportion of dangerous fanatics, there would have to be 235,000 French Muslims capable of mass murder.
Whic seems rather high given what we've seen so far.
Of course we can't be certain.

Wow, I can see why you get paid £1000/day now. What a grasp of stats you have.

Because he uses it as an accusation and a threat, since he's trusted (sky fairy only knows why) with the ban hammer that threat carries weight which his bigoted, hypocritical, lying nature doesn't deserve.
The word is used by people as a weapon in an attempt to shut down an argument, it's been overused to such a large extent and misused to an even larger one that the genuine issue of racism is hidden behind the screen of FUD.

Yes, but I have my bad points as well.

Different races within humanity is a false construct all by itself. Racism is built on people looking different, not on any scientific basis of "race". Forensic anthropologists talk of ancestry, not of race.

You make me laugh.

Better than 500/day for C++, innit.

I take it back, you're not an idiot. You're an ignorant retard.

Do you expect to find different on CUK?

You are so cruel.
