I am really not! You couldn''t believe how frustrating it is to be classed as a worker from the rumour mill when what I have said i know has substance!! But then again why should people think that this isn''t just another sad pr**k on his computer with nothing better to do? Aaaah so annoying!! [8o|]

[/quote]

So leave the thread now and if it happens then resurrect it, for now it''s just a rumour and nothing more.  If it ever was to happen and it was the Chinese as you so clearly state then I will be one of those to come and apologise.

Well one of the questions is have the shareholders been notified?  That''s the first question I can answer (but only personally), spoken to a friend who is a shareholder and he has not heard from the club at all.

[quote user="Houston Canary"]Downloads, if you were to be fired for making light hearted banter, you would win a wrongful dismissal case easily, and your company would be shamed for being so reactionary.  We make jokes about ourselves all the time and nobody cries racism or anti- anything then. Why not?  Because we all know it is just some harmless jokes.  When we make them about someone else, the rules do not change. Or do they?  They shouldn''t, and I''m not going to pretend they do just because you want to.

Who is to determine whast is light hearted and who would be offended by what? I work for the government and it would definitely not be tolerated, that i can guarantee you. Of course i wouldn''t get fired first off, but if i continued to air views as these, i would be fired.

I''m no wuss, i''ll happily take it outside.

I wouldn''t ask for comments on this thread to be removed, it doesn''t interest me, but i have had a couple removed previously. Someone''s comments regarding females which was incredibly insulting, i love my wife and wouldn''t expect anyone to speak about a woman as they did and someone elses racist comment, which was more obvious than anything on this thread. I care not for what you think and would do the same everytime.

So in summary, go do one.

  There are only 3 or 4 races on Earth. Chinese is not a race. It is not even A single culture or A single language. If the comments were about zipperheads or sneaky yellow devils, then that would be RACist.  They are about various aspects of various Chinese cultures or steroetypes associated with the Chinese specifically (not the Viet Namese, or Japanese or Thais).

  Who is to determine if a comment is light hearted, you ask.  Umm, I guess the people in on the conversation. Porbalby people observing it could tell too, by the body language.  You are confusing banter with, as you call it, airing views.  I seriously doubt anyone who made a joke here really was being offensive, and I am equally sure anyone of Chinese origin would not be bothered by the comments because they would know it was in jest. Only people who want to be victims and look for reasons to become one would be bothered by the chatter.

  Having threads you find offensive removed definitely does make you a wuss.  Then announcing here that you do this makes you not only a wuss, but a Martin Prince quality wuss.  He''s the nerd in Bart Simpson''s class who does annoying things like reminding the teacher she forgot to assign homework. The tattle tale. The wuss.  Whhaaaaaaa, I don''t like it, so NOBODY should be allowed to see it.

  Your approach is a very dangerous one. Limiting people''s freedom of expression in a forum like this is never a good thing. I love my wife, too, and I want her to know what people think so she doesn''t make bad decisions out of ignorance. Your protective approach only serves to make your wife more likely to be a victim, not less. 

  I aprreciate the keyboard warrior approach you took in responding to me.  I can do that too but I find it embarrassing to make physical challenges to people I will never meet.  But if I did meet you, I''d kick your a__. [:D]

You surely wouldn''t.

You live in your little small minded world of ignorance fool. You are like Homer Simpson, the one without a brain who says any old crap just because it comes into his head. Doooooh! The thick one.

Think there is a reason that people can''t just say what they want on TV or in the newspapers, especially preventing ignorant people who may have lived in redneck land? Wonder how you ended up there... Just because these boards are unmoderated, doesn''t mean anything should be on display. Pete, who moderates only what he reads, doesn''t even want swearing on these boards, so i would take it up with him if you don''t like the rules.

In summary, you are thick and needed schooling.

With the right to freedom of expression comes the responsibilitiy to endeavour not to offend where possible.

Should anyone be able to express anything with no regard for what is acceptable? How about those who state that the USA brought 9/11 on itself due to its foreign policy? Clearly not. You can''t play the feedom of expression card without this caveat.

I think this is a case where many will have to agre to disagree. I just feel that some of the comments were crass at best, offensive at worst.

I saw a comedian the other week on tv, and he said about people being offended by things.  "So your''e offended....and....what actually happens?  You''re just offended, it doesn''t change anyhing and nothing actually happens...you''re just offended".  Thought it was quite funny and very true. 

[CaptnCanary 0]

The thing that annoys me about the whole racism and PC debate is that it seems to be completely 1 sided. If you are a young white hetrosexual male you get blamed for basically everything and never make a claim of racism against you. Is this because everybody who is not a young white hetrosexual male never says or does anything racist? I doubt it very very much. Are young white hetrosexual males never a victim of racism or intimidation by people from other ethnic groups? Now I know thats not the case. So why do people from other ethnic groups have to go on and on about being victims but the young white guys dont. And if they did they would probably be accused of being racist, like I am about to be no doubt.
