Another pompous, condescending remark which you and Vetch, the bastions of free speech (as long as you can both use it to abuse fellow posters on your terms) have become expert at in recent weeks. You fell off your chair because of a comment Phil made? Fell off your self appointed moral high ground more like.
Support your country and be bloody proud of it too. Shout it from the rooftops that you want England to win everything they go in for, what's wrong with that. You won't know this but I go to our games with three posters on here. Dreyfus and Pinball are both English, Billybjack is Welsh. We all support the same club but on international day we go our seperate ways and I wouldn't have it any other way. The rugby days are fun but its just banter and I feel adds towards our camaraderie. When the four of us went for a weekend to Blackpool we had Wales v England in ten pin bowling and in snooker (Wales won ) we got them soooooo pissed !! As for ****holes, they're everywhere, always have been and always will be.
Valley is quite correct. If you think there are "****holes" in the U.K.,then think again. By comparison to some of the places I lived in West Africa,(some Africans wouldn't live/visit there and were incredulous that I had),the worse areas of U.K. are utopian in comparison.
It wasn't so much "a comment",PGF,more an annihilation of a race. Please indicate where either Knackered,or myself,denied Phil his right to free speech? Please also highlight the "abuse" that you refer to. You seem determined to keep this rolling. You are completely out of order, and making value judgements/statements that have no validity. Time to leave this thread now,since you are clearly only spoiling for a fight. I for one refuse to indulge you.
By the time Minxy would have climbed down from the roof they'd have been sent packing Sorry Minxy I'll take my punishment however you see fit
Guys, this is an interesting thread that is attracting views and opinions from other posters from various boards, so can we please not allow this thread ending up as another personal spat among a few posters
"Annihalation of a race? Get real. That is YOUR opinion - and that is the problem. You cannot see that other people have different opinions or interpretaions of statements. Your condescending comments to FFS regarding education last week were noted and are symptomatic of the "pedestal of superior education" that yourself and KJ have put yourselves on in order to put down fellow Swans posters. Sorry - but it doesn't wash with me. On that note I will adhere Valleys request.
The trouble with Vetch is he cannot handle any debate that questions his universe, and it's pretty similar with the knackered one too, though vetch at least does attempt to keep it civil, something the knackered one will never fathom out, but as for vetch's twist on my comment of "Annihilation of a race" well that's just a juvenile response he's made, because he doesn't like the truth, the only annihilation of a race was in the gas chambers of the second world war, and it was at the hands of the Germans, bring it up to date, and you have the Germanic English supplying Syria, with the chemicals to make the deadly chemical weapons that we are now seeing in Syria, make no mistake while I have many friends both German and English, these two are problem children, and always have been!................
Well said PGF! There are many on here who see that too, but it's entertainment value for me, bring it on I say, the more puffed up with their own self importance and limited knowledge the better, it just makes it easier to have a laugh at their expense mate!...............
He won't, but I will as the thread has run its natural course. But I will leave you with a few points, DPJ: 1: "though vetch at least does attempt to keep it civil, something the knackered one will never fathom out," Er....where have I been uncivil? Please enlighten. You have called me a "prick" in recent times without punishment, and when I offered to go for a pint with you to iron out our stupid differences I was met with vile abuse. I have saved the original comments so please don't deny it amnd make me publish. Water under the bridge but it's a tad rich for you of all people to talk about civility. Secondly, I disagreed with your comments about modern Jews not forgiving Germans for the holocaust. Some will agree, some not. It's a difference of opinion that (surprise surprise) should be the lifeblood of a forum. Simply because some of us can string a few sentences together we're branded as "high and mighty". Lastly, I returned to this thread for a different reason. My wife just phoned me from town to tell me that two guys were feeding pidgeons with bread as she walked past and one of them picked up one of the birds and promptly rung its neck in fron of shoppers going past with kids. Nice guy. I suppose a tourist seeing that and following your logic will think we're a cruel, nasty people. Anyway, the topic's been done to death so no point in going around in circles. It's interesting to see other posters points of view though, even if I disagree.
Facts are Facts Knackered, and it's no good watering down the hideous past of both the English and the German races, they are both Germanic and both in the same boat as far as I'm concerned, and it's no good you and Vetch trivialising what is well documented as History now, bringing your own personal views from your small and insignificant worlds, bears no reflection on the historical perspective, and inferring those of us that have our eyes open to the real truth, as bigots, is really damaging your argument completely. The Anglo-Saxon mentality now drives the USA, and our 'British/English' government give it 100% support, just because some of us who live in the UK see through all this doesn't constitute Racism or bigotry, when we do not give our support or approval, and call it as it is. That is why posters like Mabon, are always close to my heart!...............
