Had an open day at Northampton University yesterday. Had a nice long chat with the admissions tutor for the History department who said he'll give me a hand with UCAS. I have a good feeling about this smile

Well, at least finally you've come up with a better post than what you have previously. About time. If you'd have originally posted something like this on Saturday, I probably would have agreed with you. But you didn't.

[..]

Once again, you've shown you're quite happy to show contempt to a large part of our society (that would be the too fucking old to know what's acceptable...). Which once again makes me doubt the sincerity about why you're arguing this. I mean, you're happy to defend one group of people, while showing ignorance and contempt to another. To me, that makes you more than a bit hypocritical and sanctimonious, to say the least, and why I don't particularly care what you might think of me.





"Sorry squire, but intractable blanket statements without reasons like that piss me off, and I consider them just as wilfully divisive and dangerous to society as racism itself. Too often the people who use them haven't really thought about the subject in hand. They also don't take into account that the world is not black and white, and work on the assumption that you're right regardless of what the facts might be. "



What you said was stupid, ignorant, racist and showed ignorance and contempt to a whole culture of people.

Refute that somehow. Without any laughable strawmen. Do it now.

The fact that the guy who a couple of posts ago was trying desperately not to look like a dick when defending his use of the term raghead is trying to give me a condescending lecture on racism and blanket statements is turning this into a classic. Be careful who you try to lecture on certain things, if you're not careful you could end up looking like a reaaal twat.

Again, you're making a load of rhetorical noises that you think sound good, but where's the beef? I'm not fooled. You've already conceded what you said was unnecessary and offensive to use" so why are you continuing to shame yourself further. .... Squire (?)

And P.S. Yeah I'm ignorant and insensitive towards a whole culture of old people who still say Paki - I know they're a dwindling minority but I promise to respect their rights to expression via extremely offensive 'descriptive' terms too from now on. Okay? (You're still not old enough to qualify for this exception)

You know what? If we're going to go all last words and ignoring each other now I'll just go with this:

An offensive and racist comment is what it is. You made one and got called out. It's not comparable to cunt for reasons I have explained, it's just offensive. There might be exceptional circumstances where using such words doesn't signify racist intent but they don't cover your comment, so they're irrelevant. I know you wanted to argue with me about wether a racist word is always racist, but it was a strawman from the start. You know it, I know it. You're out of legs to stand on. Deal with it. Next time think.
