Looks like sgtwilko has been handed his ar5e to me.

Looks more like he explained the procedures from his workplace, a place that he was willing to name so that we were in no doubt that he did not just make it up, and then some foot-stomping and scweeming started.

Maybe its just me and how I have been brought up but why on earth do people judge someone by their skin colour?!

and/or height and/or hair colour. It's just wrong.

that's all I did and we all can see the reactions it gets! the comment I through in last night only inflamed things and was daft and naughty. But what some can't see is all I offered is how racism works in the real world. which is very different to a text book or EU guide lines.

Which brings back on topic. johns had to go. it's very high profile and hope it sends a message especially to the kids of oz. as MCfield mentioned it's with kids where fight can be won!

it wouldnt be the first time perp! But not this time. Some people just don't get it.

So, you don't see the incongruity of labeling someone a Nazi and suggesting that an entire nation is racist against your stance on racial prejudice?

I don't see it as "foot stomping", simply responding to idiocy when I come across it.

that comment was a pure late night poor dig which inflamed the topic! it was uncalled for. but the priciple of my posts stands strong. surley you agree with that.

I am glad that you have acknowledged that the comment was ill judged. To me, the term Nazi is nearly as offensive as directly racist language. There are people I know who witnessed what the Nazis were capable of first hand, to use the term so readily lessens the sheer horror of what these people brought upon fellow humans.

I agree with your stance against racism, I agree that it is more probable that the majority always have the greater propencity to oppress but, I disagree entirely that is always the case. If you don't believe me, get some good history books and read more than the synopsis.

Oh, I also agree that Chris Rock is a comic genius!

and so unnecessary.....

No.

He's labelled someone a Nazi just because they didn't agree with his opinion.

He's had his ar5e handed to him on that alone.

Real world?

I thought you said that's how it was explained to you in a social work team?

For which he apologised.

So now ?

He'd be best just retiring quietly as that action alone completely devalues his whole argument.
