It would mean a serious look at non-anglo racism too *shock horror.*

I, not paying attention used gym equipment that a maori guy was using without a towel and whilst also using another machine (breaking 2 rules and being inconsiderate at the same time) and he said "what the fuck cracker."

Yet when I said 'fuck off blue tongue' he was offended and wanted to crack my skull.

Racism is only racism if you're white it seems.

But racism is power and prejudice, so you can't be racist to whites :^)

Also you got balls of steel for going up against a Maori bloke :lol:

Mate, you realise you just "abused" mainland Chinese in your previous post?

I'm sorry if people are mean to you, but I say this again: you can't send people to jail for hurting someones feelings.

Believe it or not being called a cracker does not equate to years of slavery, attempted genocide, institutional racism etc. So yes, racism does not occur against white people. Not that hard to understand

Guessing he just wanted to crack your skull for getting sweat on gym machines though :lol:

Racism has nothing to do with past suffering, it has to do with current discrimination.

Check your privilege, shitlord.

I have never heard this as an insult, what does it mean?

Yes I would also like to know.

Did some googling and could only come up with "bluegum" referring to an African American.

You realise that black people kept their own slaves? Or that black people commit genocide amongst themselves?

It's not synonymous with whites.

So I entered "behead" into my google news search today and couldn't find any not related to a certain religion that I will not name.

I was planning to post info on a Christian, Buddhist, or Hindu beheading but came up blank.

Just for you, mate.

I abused them for their habits / behaviours....not for their physical appearance.

Big difference.

And as for hurting someone's feelings I think its only right they get away way with it so many times. Im not calling for first time offenders to be thrown into the slammer.

Smash em with a big fine first to make them think about what they've done and then if they keep becoming repeat offenders then jail becomes an option because it seems they have never learned about the impact they have had on other people.

Who gets to decide what constitutes abuse? Should you be fined for insulting the mainland Chinese as a collective?

Legislating what people have a right to say would set a dangerous precedent.

:lol:

Guys I watched SBS world news tonight as well but all the 'crimes against humanity' related content was in relation to a specific religion. I wonder if they have people writing to the station to advise they 'don't the have freedom of speech' enough to air such news?

Hey Poly, how do you feel about the Westboro Baptist Church??

T-UNIT don't bother . As he'll ignore it

Not part of their kulcha m8.

Search Christianity and burning on the stake, that's right up the alley.

you don't understand.

Behaviours can change. I have a thing against some Mainland Chinese because they think its ok to take a dump on the street or a public place. This problem can be remedied via education and awareness. A bit different if I were to call a Mainland Chinese a slanted eyed gook, which is purely based on their appearance. And besides I am part Chinese as well.

So bullying is ok then in your books.

Probably an insult to John Singleton and his failed brewery.

I think he sold it to someone didn't he?

He had it in partnership with Carlton & United, who bought Singletons remaining shares off him, then closed down the Brewery as it wasn't making CUB enough money. All the brewing equipment went down to Melbourne. CUB had refused to sell their shares back to Singo.

Shame, Bluetounge wasn't a bad lager. And it's always refreshing to see something else other than the Carlton & United monopoly on a bars taphouse.

Ah ok so thats how it panned out. I agree Bluetongue was a good lager.

Yeah, Singo was less than impressed. Singo is one of the major shareholders in the consortium that owns the pub I work at. We had Bluetounge on tap, and it was arguably our worst seller. By the last 12 months, you could only find the stuff in selected Riversdale Pubs. They stopped bottling the stuff 18-months before they killed it.

Did you have their lager or the pilsner?

I always found the lager not too bad. Almost like a Peroni, but made with Pride of Ringwood hops, and corn.

You call it bullying, I call it freedom of speech.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Religion thrives under persecution, if you hate Islam so much you should probably just let it be.

"Your rights end where my feelings begin"

Oh well freedom of speech comes with a price then....its called retaliation and violence, not that I condone violence in any form, but its like anything.....If you insult someone whether its racial or non racial then its no surprise that you would run the risk of ending up in hospital....and if you cry over that then you really have to think first before you say anything. :lol:

So do you think if someone is racially abused then that person reserves the right to retaliate and beat the tripe out of the person who dished it out?

And also what if someone experiences racist abuse by a colleague in the workplace? Should they just suck it up and deal with it day after day on end until they are forced to quit because it is so torrid that it is causing them stress. You have no idea.

I was born in Gisborne NZ, i went to school with 50/50 anglo/maori. The way they behave in Australia is an absolute disgrace.
