perhaps 'us' means Brits whose forefathers came from the Indian subcontinent?

You have Pakistani heritage.

If as a white person, I used the term 'us' discriminating against a non white person and calling those people 'them', it would be considered racist.

It is you calling yourself a British Pakistani, as opposed to simply calling yourself British.

It is you, in this situation and presumably as that is how you see yourself, in many other situations that is perpetuating the difference between you and others.

It is not white people in these situations who are discriminating, but you !!

African American, British American, Italian American, Pakistani British

apparently the use of one of the above denotes racism. honestly. I think.

TISS, you're an intelligent poster on here and have enjoyed reading your posts on this thread and others, so will give you a response that you deserve.
I didn't say Adz was being racist, I stated that white people would be considered racist if the word us or them was used in reference to someone with a different colour skin - which is true particularly if said in politically correct confines.
I also said that that type of attitude will only perpetuate divisions in society, rather than having the utopian ideal of full integration of all people's living in the UK.

so do i delete it or not ? ? ?

TH63 has reported it, as he found it offensive

Adz, has said " its being reclaimed " thus its not offensive and by deleting it would not help in the cause of reclamation of the word

As I know that Adz is of Pakistani origin ( he has told me and has mentioned in this thread he is a " British Pakistani " ) i feel his claim that it is being reclaimed must add weight to the argument on deletion of not

Oh its another of them borderline options :sherlock:

So calling someone an "inbread idiot" is ok, calling someone a wanker isn't.

Glad we cleared that one up anyway.

Oh lighten up Terrence. The jacks always get called inbreds and connotations to sexually infiltrating a family member on here. I dont see anyone complaining then.

Why dont you offer to help Mike and moderate the board for him instead of throwing stones at Matt all the time?

Who the feck is Terence? :hehe:

Wasn't it a fair question? You either allow both or none surely?

Yes we call jacks inbreds but we also call them wankers.

If Mike wasn't another mod, and wanted me I'm sure he'd ask, I certainly wouldn't be so presumptuous to offer. Plus I'd probably be crap.

We are back to context again.

I think the aggression and tone of Tiger calling Matt a "Wanker" was out of order and deserved to be pulled.

Matt has a thankless task trying to moderate this forum and getting called a "Wanker" just because somone disagreed with his moderating was uncalled for. It wasnt Matt who put the picture up.

I agree that calling Matt a wanker was out of order.

Calling him an inbread iddiot (sic) should also be out of order.

Can't you see that there is a difference between certain insults Terence ?

Don't be such a silly sausage old chap is very different to calling someone a stupid f*cking c*nt.

Of course I see the difference Josephine, personally I think "inbread iddiot " is worse than "wanker" but hey, that's just me.
What we've learnt here is that what really matters on this board is who is on the receiving end.
Anyway, this is getting boring and pointless so let's leave it there.

It's acceptable to call someone a **** if they say something you don't like isn't it? I thought that was the rules :hehe:

Shirley these to things are completely different.? Calling a man one of them might be an insult but call him the other and you are merely stating the truth.

At least in the vast majority of cases

True.

Let's face it we're all wankers.

Some of us more than others, but it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Oh, and while I'm here I'd like to say that Adz laughing at being called a **** is the ideal response to people trying to use the word as an insult.

Good on you young man.

not sure I can forgive him the music, or one comment I seem to remember, (forgive me if I misquote) "Justin Beiber is the best musician...." :shrug:

I agree that you would be crap as you would likely delete too much stuff. Now if Moggis ever called on me to serve I would insist on having the power not only to remove messages but to ban posters as well. Given that authority I can state unequivocally that Croesy Blue would be a goner in a minute. Though, his CCMB existence would have lasted 59 seconds longer than Nick's. A few others regularly get on my thrupenny bits. They'd be put on notice with 'behave or else' PMs. I would delete very little except for any submissions critical of yours truly.

Oh and he has not 1, not 2, but 3 girlfriends, just think of the loss he would be to this place

I asked myself the same thing the other day. I came to the conclusion that I'd be a shite mod on this board because I didn't know the answer.

My first thought was no, I wouldn't have banned him, but I realised a while ago that I'm not the best barometer for that sort of thing, I have a high tolerance level for offensive comedy so the question is, do I ban him using other people's standards or my own? I've no idea.

Stay tuned for more of my musings, following the break I'll be giving a read from my diary.

No, nor would the image he posted be taken off. That like everything else has to be in some context. If, and it's a huge if, someone had contacted me to state that a person very close to them had died or been injured in that inferno and they were horrified by the insensitive image then I probably would. But complaints from unconnected people who found it offensive or in very poor taste, I'd have told them to just ignore it.
