Quite right.Originally posted by zeitghostOne cannot conceive of the One and Only Original Master actually.... dancing....
And correct me if I'm wrong, but personally inflicting wanton physical violence to a helpless individual - wasn't that sort of thing beneath the One And Only Original Master?Comment

I find that I am now scared of criticising any minority groups in case I'm labelled racist or right wing. I have a problem because a representative of Muslim women in my area have requested and been granted women only nights at my pool (previous thread). Now by criticising them, folk like SA immediately jump on the PC bandwagon hysterically accusing me or implying I'm anti-muslim or racist or something. It's nothing to do with their freakin religion. It's to do with the fact that I can't swim when I want because some minority group says so. If it was gays then I'd be criticising them... doesn't mean I'm homophobic. McCarthyism is alive and well!Originally posted by realityhackI'm flamed for being politically incorrect and frowned upon...
When all I'm doing is stating what I believe to be right. I've never thought of myself as right-wing, just realistic.Last edited by XTC; 2 August 2007, 15:47.Comment

So, black is off-limits. What are black people called these days?
I'm sure they have names.Comment

I refer to black people as black, or sometimes brown. White people as white. They are all happy with that. The technical word negro is off-limits now.Comment
