[alisonb]

So who should we blame for getting the Madiba thread locked.....TB? :P

Blame? well............
Bush--of course!!

 

[alisonb]

No man, he was in Africa at the time....

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

Alison you started it!

 

[alisonb]

Yes that is true but we need to put the blame on somebody for getting it locked and I thought TB would be the ideal person :lol:

Yeah perhaps but even you should know that is no reason to lock it.

I have been locked out so many times while here that nothing surprises me any more

Just the way it is - hope the rest of your week goes well and be safe

I suspect their patience has worn pretty thin as of late.

I don't give a dam if the thread was locked folks....I'm just poking a little fun at TB :P

Well when it gets personal, it's gone to far. IMO Some pretty harsh words were printed for sure. And Religion should not be a factor, in my book that Racism.

Racism - often an over-used word used to incite emotional response

Oxford defines it as:

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races:
theories of racism•prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:
a programme to combat racism

Personally the word has no meaning to me any more - as it is tossed at the drop of a hat.

In fact it is so widely used that I completely ignore it now and wonder why people even bother using that word - completely meaningless.

I have found in my travels around the world that the promotion or "hand up" or making equal of one race has always resulted in the oppression of another.

In fact I have been shot at during these travels and upon ocaission I have returned fire.

Religion on the other hand .....

Wait a minute - despite Oxford's definition - I have found things to be very much the same in my travels! LOL

Sometimes I wish people would just stay home. I am sure others have thought the same of me when I was "visiting" their country! LOL

Heck Bez, being born is racist. My birth certificate lists what race I am.

TB this is entirely your fault for getting out of your element.
Being accustomed to messing with crusty old curmudgeons this is what you get diving into the deep end of the PC pool.
You better get back in the shallow end. :lol2:
