Happy Face

What do you mean 'we'? What group are you referring to that we both belong to? Newcastle fans? Or have you made the rather racist assumption that I'm white? 'Nigga', is a completely different matter, its comm use was amongst white people as a racist term, it's overuse by black people dilutes its power to offend, in the same way gays adopt 'Fag' as an endearing term. These terms are used so that cretins are robbed of their power to offend. It's too soon but I believe many years down the line'nigga' will be robbed of any negative connotation whatsoever. Will you make your mind up, you said earlier that you personally thought bling wasn't a racist term but you continue to insinuate that this board is inherently racist for calling bling people bling! Personally I think anyone who wears a vulgar amount of jewlery should take a look at themselves and I would be insulted to be called bling. It's derogatory but not racist.

So you don't think 'bling' is a racist term* and you think anyone who plays shit gets abuse. So we're all in agreement. It's very noble to start a racism debate but the suggestion that criticism on this board has a racist connotation is wide of the mark I think. *Anyone who does is insane. The notion that the use of a phrase coined by a black person is in itself racist is possibly the most racist thing I've EVER heard.

Which players have been "described by 'fans' using terms that are tacitly racist terms"? What were these racist taunts? Are you saying 'bling' is a racist term? If you are then don't be daft. Beckham is the original bling footballer. I think it's safe to say that Jenas and Dyer get less shit than Butt did and Carr does. Bowyer's not been too bad and gats slagged off mostly for being a racist thug!

Whey that's cos you couldn't rightly describe any of our white players as bling! I never heard about Stephen Carr asking for the coach to be stopped so he could go and get his diamond earrings and I never saw Andy O'Brien out on the tiles, let alone swanking it up in VIP with the dolly birds (Jesus, I've turned into me fatha) and spread all over the newspapers. As has been pointed out, your argument that shit black players get more grief than shit white ones says more about you than anyone else in St James'. All shit players get grief, but you only take to heart the grief given to black players. Around me there have been one man crusades against virtually every player at the club. Carr, O'Brien and Butt have all victims but also good players like Bellamy, Robert and even Shearer.

Lordy. I might repeat someone as I haven't gone through the endless arguments but most people around me say Ameobi is shit but they want Chopra to be given a chance! Neither player is white but one has proven to be hit and miss (about 95% miss tbh). It's all about performance, otherwise why are they begging for Chopra? Does Nobby get shit? Did Ferdinand, or Asprilla?

Saw him in Chinatown an hour or two after the match and his most vehement detractors amongst my group rushed accross the road to fawn over him. Unprinicipalled twats. They've called him worse than shit for years and all of a sudden he's a legend. No doubt he'll be shit again after the grimsby game. Personally I've not slagged him off too much but I find it amazing the chances he's been given ahead of Chopra.

Ain't that the truth. Thought they might have sorted the staff out by now but they still stand around with their thumbs up there arses waiting for a 4 pint jug to pour. Even when you offer the money to speed things along, they insist on waiting till the jug is poured. Fuckwits. Then you get a power cut so you can't buy a drink for half an hour. At least the lack of music inspired a canny bit of singing.

yes, gayness is simply a result of someone consistently lowering their standards to it's inevitable conclusion. Some people can't even find like minded desparates among their own sex and move down a stratum to the animal world. They normally live in Wales or Kentucky.

Family guy's funniest moment...

As a nerdy shy kid I agree with the first paragraph, but the second is a bit contradictory isn't it?

What he said.

I like dark side of the moon and haven't given any of their other stuff much of a chance. Think I'll make up this playlist ang give it a whirl. Cheers

48141[/snapback] Well that's this thread finished for me. night.

Make something. Whether it's a video, a photo album or a mix tape. They're always more appreciated.

Looks like it! 48087[/snapback] Okay, well as I've never been in there, but assume it's a huge place, why don't we say we'll meet by the pool tables - wherever they may be? 48088[/snapback] I wouldn't want to ruin your plans or owt but anyone who stays upstairs in the sports bar is wrong in the head! There's titties on downstairs you know.

I love mix tapes and this website has loads of them. Any requests or suggestions?

Aye, but theirs is probably quite good with features like progressive scan and optical out wheras yours will be a paperweight in a few months.

You weren't exactly uncovering a universal mystery were you? Fair enough, it being shit is an opinion, but the racist thing was just a fact accepted by all without prompting. You might as well have pointed out how many words the joke contained. The comment was redundant, like the time we've wasted with these responses.

I never said it was purely for racist jokes, just that if you've got a racist joke, this is where it should go. Unpleasantly racist? Could you tell me what pleasant racism is? I thought all racism was unpleasant. Should I PM you all my racist jokes before posting and you can decide if they're acceptably racist? 47837[/snapback] FFS, I'm saying people can put what they want in here and others can comment as they want. Is that really that difficult to understand? By 'unpleasantly racist' I meant I thought it was nasty without any humour. I agree all racism is unpleasant, but some racist jokes can be funny and I'm sure many people would agree. 47844[/snapback] Whey of course people should be to respond how they see fit and other people should be able to point out if they think the response was pointless. No-one has suggested otherwise. Just that the comment "racist and shit" seemed strange, it was just shit. I don't watch Joe Pasquale and think 'He might be shit but at least he's not racist'.

So people can post racist (or whatever) jokes but you can't criticise them? Er, ok. 47806[/snapback] What's the point in announcing that a racist joke in a thread for racist jokes is racist?

Am I only allowed to listen to 1 genre at a time like? How long must I wait before changing genre? Nazi! Anyway I'm back on the new stuff. Deerhoof - The Runners Four Some of it is lush but some of it is purposely woeful, guitar that my 4 year old cousin would cringe at. Unnecessarily quirky.

How the hell does that fit in their happy face? 47787[/snapback] Because it's a classic!

Why can't stevie wonder read? Cos he's black

The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye Shakin' All Over - Jonny Kidd & The Pirates Hippy Hippy Shake - Swinging Blue Jeans She's not there - The Zombies Got to Get You Into My Life - Cliff Bennet And The Rebel Rousers Jayou - Jurassic 5 Green Onions - Booker T. & The MG's What'd I Say - Ray Charles Superstition - Stevie Wonder
