[Answerprancer]

...but oh lookie what we have here:

philkool: "How long will it be until we have a black priminister.?"

trt: "Hope not until 2200 at least!"

QED

Hi all, ummmm is on target here, in a free society anyone can be a racist, religious zealot, homophobe, whatever. Its their choice or not (if they were brainwashed as a child). We may have our own opinions but we cannot say that other peoples opinions are wrong especially when it is a matter that is un-proveable. All we can do is hope that the majority of people agree with us. If we pick on people because of their views then we are being as intolerant as the people we criticize.

[ummmm]

Exactly....

trt has said numerous times that they are not racist. If the question had been "how long before we have a Muslim Prime Minister" I bet no one would have argued with his post.

(I know Muslim is a religion not a race but you get my meaning)

[ummmm]

I don't understand what is racist about trt's post in the OP's question.

[ummmm]

I agree....Keep it in the original post or leave it be.

[joeluke]

What about jism?

[sara3]

interesting link, lisa_marie.. but I don't recall it saying that when I posted on the thread.

[joeluke]

sara.......perhaps the AB swear filter has malfunctioned and gone into reverse?!!

[sara3]

and I'd be interested to know if anyone racist says, "I'm a racist".

they tend to say "I'm not racist, but... " before coming out with a racist comment.

Sara/Joeluke, that link wasn't anything to do with me, that was the same troll that has just had all his answers removed, he has screenshot my OP (at the beginning of my "coffee snob" thread then photoshopped it and filled it with the homophobic obscenities you now see.
Ummmm - I agree with you, everyone *is* entitled to their opinions, I didn't tell this poster to shut up, however if I believe a posters comments are unjust or prejudiced, I will react accordingly.

"lisa_marie" is the same poster as the one whose answers have been removed using a different name.

[sara3]

I knew that, Answerprancer :o)

[Answerprancer]

jomifl - as with Ummmm, I agree with you, everyone is entitled to be racist, homophobic, thisist thatist etc - but if they come here or anywhere and put those prejudices on display, I'll give the opinion I am also entitled to.

jomifl - "...a matter that is un-proveable"?
It's there for all to see in the title post of this thread - I've even included a link to the thread I copied these quotes from!

[jomifl]

yes unproveable. You have to define things and be able to measure them in some way using some sort of scale to be able to prove anything. It is no good saying so and so is a racist because he disagrees with me and is a big racist because he is over 6'' long. that doesn't prove anything. You are free do devise a scale for measuring racism it would probably be very useful, and units of 6'' could probably be improved upon.
