How have you not gotten tired of this yet?

The old racist cartoons mocked percieved racial features, traits and stereotypes of said RACE. These cartoons mock Islam.

P.s. a quote from Ghandi dosen't really go very well in a thread about how people have missed racist undertones since he really didn't like black people too greatly.

VV READ what I wrote moron.

Aaaaaargh READ IT READ IT READ IT!]

No you utter fool, printing a picture of a 'big nosed jew' isn't racist unless you idenify jews as a race. Your arguments have been dismissed over and over again and you still can't make better ones!

OK, so you mean that a cartoon picturing a large nosed jew, with the message that judaism from the start has been a religion for greedy exploiters, is not a racist cartoon unless is explicitly mentions the word race?

Now your racist for claiming the all jews got big noses...

And your example wasn't racist...

And your example was much worse than the Jyllandsposten pictures...

I like Jeff Gordon, he is my favorite Nascar Racist. The Andretti's are pretty good racist in Indy car too.

To be honest this is pointless, untill our politicians get their act together we will all be in fear of being classed as a racist. (not very rude word rhyming with Bell), i admit that printing a picture of a big-nosed jewish person is unacceptable in most circles, but just HOW far will we go. Soon printing a picture of a christian person with a cross around his neck will be classed as racist...

Maybe I am confused, but doesn't someone have to be referring to race in order to be racist? You can change religion, but not your race. When you have a prejudice against a religious group, wouldn't that be religious discrimination?

Unfortunately, I'd have to start deleting the useless posts and block the offending users. So please don't.

Additionally, the on-topic people might want to stop calling each other morons or similar.

I think I myself might have beans and toast for lunch. I'm studying for an upcoming exam (haven't written one in years), and am ready to take a power drill to my left temple. Contempt for the internet idealogues posting here is the only thing keeping me going, so please Mr Mezir, don't lock my only hope Sad

I have not eaten yet, as I think my stomach is waiting to return anything I offer it at the moment.

I think I will wait until later and try the only thing my stomach never refuses, Baked bean and Salad Cream sandwiches!

@Mac, Rob, Mojo, Sanppy can i ask a really dumb question please?

I can understand why you dont wanna partake in these kind of threads, i get that you may not be interested in discussing these sorts of things. I can understand that you dont wanna read these kind of threads, i get that too, you may find it pretty dull. What i dont really understand is why you dont wanna allow other people to discuss these matters here?

I'm not having a pop at you guys or anything, i myself dont really want to discuss these sorts of things on fumbbl either, but i could not give $%*! what others choose to discuss. I tend to prefer having arguments face to face as it cuts down on the insults. I guess I just want to understand why you guys do this.
