    LOL. Neat trick! Accuse your opponent of something for which there is no evidence and thus there is no way for him to defend himself. That seems to be about the level that you and your friends operate at.



    And yet you post over and over again about a term that plenty of people don't find racist in order to bludgeon them your personal viewpoint, not allowing that any other could be valid.



    So you are hypersensitive to the use of a simple shortened version of an accepted word but completely oblivious to the the hurt that the term 'a mental' might cause to those with mental disabilities or their families and carers.

    You really are some piece of work.

    Yes I am a liar because the forum team (or the poster himself) deleted the insulting post he wrote about schevchenko.....

    While I have enjoyed arguing with Azari as he appears to be an intelligent poster I would rather not get into a debate with you as you are obviously not! Therefore I will gracefully concede my argument to you and state the following.

    1. I obviously lied about the post being deleted
    2. The word "Jap" is not offensive and I will now regulalry use it in every day conversation

    You surely will have no more reason now to post your drivel......

  • Why can't we all just leave sleeping dogs lie. There is no right or wrong because if there was then categoric and definitive legislation would exist.

    I don't understand why some people have to keep returning to the thread using the excuse that someone else has just posted 'such and such'. Does it really matter? It's a sign of weakness and simply ammunition for those in the opposing camp(s) who see your rigid viewpoint being put forward yet again . . . with a certain indignance on your behalf that someone dare to yet again cast aspersions on your stance and opinion.

    Being adult, a realist, and understanding, is knowing when to walk away from certain situations. If the thread was ignored it would soon die a death, and who cares about the odd poster here and there proffering their views . . . whether pro or anti. It's all irrelevant as you could argue the toss till doomsday and it won't be resolved, never.

    There are more important things at this time of year. Merry Christmas to all posters on this thread . . . both pro and anti 'Jap' camps.

    I agree with tommyknocker on this. I think it's best to agree to disagree before things get way out of hand.

    As tommyknocker said, Merry Christmas to all of you, whether you agree with me or not, have insulted me or not and especially to Azari, tommyknocker, goater, Leif and more recently into the affray, Zedicus.

    Nothing else I want to say. Nothing alse to say.
