I really do wonder why you post sometimes Penski, it's as if it's just for the hell of it

Because if I stopped posting, the Beowulf cluster that generates everyone else's posts on here will have nothing to do.

I post to keep a family of old computers in a job.

Ginger people are white. It is not possible to be rude or racist or in anyway morally wrong towards white people.

The only black person that I have ever seen with ginger hair is Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man and he looked the shiznit! :cool:

No-one has ever been enslaved because of the colour of their hair.

If you go back far enough, you'll almost certainly find that people have been.

How far back can we go to "justify" double-standards? For example, would it be OK for me to hate and abuse Italians because the Romans invaded Britain nearly 2000 years ago? If not, why not? If there's a time limit, how long is it and what happens when it runs out?

If you feel that way then please feel free to report the said posts to a moderator. I'm sure you've been here long enough to know how to do that.

Congratulations on missing the point entirely though.

no point to miss, i dont go into threads talking about tattoos and mutilation making jokes about how people who mutilate themselves should be killed by any method regardless of the forums liking of such comments.

as for reporting it, whats the point. your an in crowd favourite with both the mods and forum users. it would be laughed off or ignored.

I don't see what the problem is unless you're touchy about being a ginge?

It's only meant to be a joke.

Oh yes there is.

Okay, the thread was started with the comparison of ginger-mocking with racism.

My posts have been almost exclusively examples of over-the-top ginger-hatred.

I purposefully echoed examples of genuine racism from history (armbands? A 'final solution'?) to illustrate that ginger-mocking is neither the same as; nor tantamount to racism.

I assure you that I am not. As I said earlier, use the RTM function if you have an issue with any of my posts; I wholly endorse this.

Is this part of the OCUK cabal that Gilly was accused of spearheading?

Are you ginger? Did my comments make you feel inadequate? Do you have little self-respect and little confidence?

For the record, I have ginger bits in my beard (like a lot of brown-haired men) and mock gingers.

My surname is Edwards and I mock the Welsh.

I'm 1/4 Heeb and mock the Jews.

I'm 18 stone and mock fat people.

I'm myopic and mock people who have to wear glasses.

Life is far too short to be so serious. Lighten up, get over yourself and have a laugh. Roll with the punches and give as good as you get.

Above all, remember that NOTHING is above being made fun of.

your laters posts i have no care about, my comments were about your earlier posts.
gilly spearheading what? no idea what your talking about.
as for your last sentence, it would be all to easy to tell you to ****off, but thats what you want.

My very first post was in the same vein:

Red hair and fair skin are due to the MC1R recessive gene.

The conclusion that gingers are therefore genetically inferior mirrors the propaganda of the Nazis which claimed that the Jews were genetically inferior to the Aryan race.

Your riposte, sir?

gilly spearheading what? no idea what your talking about.

A few people have complained that apparantly Gilly leads a secret cabal of 'untouchable' OCUK forum members...A secret cabal that nobody except the accusers knows about...

as for your last sentence, it would be all to easy to tell you to ****off, but thats what you want.

Now now, dear boy; you are making assumptions.

What I 'want' is for you to honestly answer the questions in the last paragraph of my previous post:

Are you ginger?

Did my comments make you feel inadequate?

Do you have little self-respect and little confidence?

That one's a bit random. What was it in response to?

Why are similar jokes not acceptable when concerning race?

There is a history of bad treatment towards black people. Thats why no jokes can be made about them.

They are.

For exaple, why do German showers have eleven holes?

Yup

No

No

I'm also Welsh.

Remarks like this don't bother me at all, imo it's just the same as telling a few blonde jokes.

I think it's very stupid to think that jokes about gingers is even in the same league as calling someone a dirty whatever.
