Any excuse for some to have a snidey swipe reactions like this make the forum unhealthy and unfriendly but hey ho, nothing racist about it except for those who love to moan about everything and anything, we didn't even know what racist was then as it wasn't on our minds, maybe you should stop being ageist !!!

Y’all need to get a grip if you are trying to make up excuses and saying it’s not bad!

You asked a question like "Who can honestly say they HAVEN'T sung racist songs and made slitty eyes for a laugh" and I simply replied that maybe it was acceptable in the olden times but certainly not now! |

The point is, on lots of topics now today.
People do have to be careful of what they say. What was acceptable decades ago is not now. Saying something today no matter how harmlessly meant can get you into big problems. If it's of another nationality or race. You can near be branded racist, anti Semitic, or even of terrorist intention just on simple comments or who you may be looking at online as to organisations. There used to be a figure on jam jars decades ago that is now banned. Sadly, even commenting on a leader or government of a Country now can have you deemed as being against that whole Nation or people. Whether we've all got too edgy or lost humour. The fact is, it is easy to get into all sorts of difficulties now, for the slightest even throwaway comment. Even as to things said probably decades ago too. Then the likes of Nolan using her celebrity status to spout offensive rhetoric. Doesn't help at all either. Even worse she may get supported. Last edited by joeysteele; 19-06-2019 at 07:52 PM. |

Firstly there was no need to answer in a patronising way , but I get you have no other way,secondly I am 41 if that was supposed to be an insult you were way off, it's nowhere near 'The olden days' besides you said the dark ages,short memory there, those were not my words and you know it I never mentioned slitty eyes , nor did I mention singing racist songs, YOU made it racist ,I didn't .

I will happily be branded as any one of those as long as I don't get arrested for saying what I say. So if I'm not getting arrested for saying things...isn't it then harrasment to be labelled as these things? Last edited by parmnion; 19-06-2019 at 08:44 PM. |

No it's not harassment and that's a ridiculous conclusion with respect. People do get in trouble for loose talk. Lose careers and are pilloried in the media too, when their full and proper identities are known. You may choose to possibly be happy to be branded, ( your words that not mine), racist, anti semitic whatever. I certainly wouldn't.. It's not something I'd want to brag about or ever be myself.
