Why is it...

First topic message reminder :

...that when there is the slightest bit of handbags a thread gets locked?

Just curious that's all...I notice there has only been 1 post on the golf forum in the 16 hours since the 'Farewell' thread was brought to a halt.

No fair enough, you've got me there!

Are all men, by definition rapists? My rule is that you become a bigot when you act in a manner, based solely on that opinion to the disadvantage of a member of that group, when the characteristic that defines the group has no bearing.

Not hiring a fat bloke to be a jockey - makes you pragmatic.
Not hiring a fat bloke to be your accountant just because you don't like fat people - makes you wrong.
Taking the wee wee out of any group on an internet forum in a funny and droll manner - priceless.

Although I'm with Mac here - S_R needs some fresh material.
But I'm with S_R too - some people need to grow a sense of perspective.

Since when did it become 'not allowed' to think you're better or worse than someone else??

Inco, you'd consider yourself superior to a bigot I assume? Does that makes you a bigot??!

Amen (whoops, sorry!).

Regardless of whether super is being racist/xenophobic/discriminatory.....whatever, his stock response to any thread involving the irish, Tiger or Shane Lowrey is becoming very tiresome.  The jokes are old and were never particularly interesting or funny. So Super, can you please try and use some new material next time these subjects arise?

If "new material" is something along the lines of becoming Bestiality correspondent for 606 as you seem to have taken on, then no thanks, I'll stick to my old stuff.
