He's not saying he knows. He's highlighting your ignorance

It's threads like these that stop an awful lot of business going OcUK's way.

Patient Keeper · 23 Oct 2010 at 20:02

So the original 'cockney' accent just changed for absolutely no reason then?

Why? This is not OcUK the computer. This is OcUK the community. It is linked to the shop, however in the end it's a separate entity. In fact, you'd have to a be a complete muppet not to shop at OcUK because somebody else who shops there is racist.

The cockney accent hasn't changed :confused:

It still exists

Thesaff · 23 Oct 2010 at 20:11

Sssh dont tell him that a lot of cockney is based around Jewish dialects and slang terms, it could blow his beliefs out of the water.

Race is nothing but imaginary borders designed by humans cos we're so insecure and the like.

In fact how many of the people in this thread can truly claim to be 'english??' at a guess I'd say: NONE!

Why? Because, Britain is one of the most ethically mixed places in the world. And it's been like that through history. The Romans mixed in with us, the normans did, the Celts did, the Vikings did.

In fact, 'britishness' has never really existed, at least not in the way all the racists in this thread are claiming.

Love the way a simple news item and my opinion about guncrime has been blown so out of proportion. Really.

You've justified nothing at all, everyone else agreeing with me are testament to that. You just seem to be a know at all who doesn't like to be told how his views are portrayed and how he's pecieved when he spouts his drivel arguments. To be honest we need people like you in the world so we know the correct way to act and behave.

Woa, look at post #11,

Merlin5 said:
Actually, it is. What would you do to try and stop the guncrime, or do you think it's all perfectly acceptable?

Yeah, how dare I ask a civil question to invite some discussion about it and how to improve things. What was I thinking? I should have remembered that
in our cotton wool wrapped politically correct world, just the mere mention of the word 'black' implies one is racist..

I posted this in SC and it was moved to here. SC doesn't seem to have anything like the volume of viewers that GD has, so it should probably have stayed in SC.

its not stupid considering a lot of the time (in the past) it was the OCUK staff taking part in such threads... but they have cleaned up their acts as of late.

Exactly. I think that OcUK offers top notch service. Good prices, great delivery, really good support. I don't know what it was like before, but it's certainly a fantastic company at the moment.

exactly you dont know "what it was like before" so you are not in a position to comment if "it is stupid" or not.

Nothing wrong with that at all. It's just stating what happened in plaistow.

'Operation Trident, an attempt to tackle black-on-black gun crime'.

Not shopping at a company because some of the staff are 'racist' on the forum. That's nothing to do with the current thread as it's not by an OcUK staff member.

Oh yeah, and he's assuming that this 'innit blad' stuff came from immigrants. As I said above, if he goes to crawley, he'll find that's not true

DO you seriously think that accent originated in the likes of Crawley?

TheCenturion · 23 Oct 2010 at 20:41

No, but they all use it there, that has nothing to do with immigrants. Crawley also has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in europe. Clearly a problem with society, and nothing to do with immigrants.

I never said any of the staff are 'racist' did i ?

Anyhow, just the sheer amount of these kind of threads we get on OCUK, wether it be by forum members or staff, is clearly off putting.

I know im getting sick and tired of it, imagine how new members feel when they browse through GD or SC.
