    Am not talking out of my ass. Its pathetic that we have to tread on eggshells nowadays and thats all down to the PC brigade. There are bigger things to worry about than CB commenting on someones teeth

    You are talking RIGHT out of your ass. How many times have you got to be told that it has NOTHING to do with being PC? Don’t you get it?

    Go and bark up different tree m’boy.

    It’s a double banger weekend
    and I HAVE A HEAD TO MATCH
    was going to pop out and do something ridiculous
    buy myself a chocolate egg.
    but have rather gone au naturelle
    with a large free range

    I am a terrific advocate of free speech
    I also believe in a jackboot society
    as long as I have the boot on :)
    As for Obama being a collectivist
    it is something I will be thinking about
    as I crack me egg.

    Strange that Prince Phil
    sneaked in here
    a man prone to a small can
    of double diamond on a tray
    at 5 pm
    more or less sharp

    Most of the repondents on this thread
    would fit neatly into the barrow gang
    of the 1930’s.
    Come to think of it
    I have just checked the calendar
    I think we are back there.
    I’ll get my gun.

    Forget Liam Treadwell’s tooth
    what about the sullying of flat grass racing
    with the queens of sand and equitrack.
    Even Ladbrokes are frightened
    to price up and I am changing my religion
    in advocating

    sepraratism

    and the end of the free world

    Not too sure, myself. Might be someone like Gamble who collects Easter eggs. Then again, it might be a lucky punter who goes to collect his/her winnings. It might be someone like Craig who gives generously to the Church collection. Perhaps someone might know what you call a collection of collectivists?

    "As for a personal attack on the President and First Lady…firstly it wasn’t a personal attack,"

    I have no time for Obama. he is a two faced leech of a man, a discreduit to the USA, (bowing down to the Saudi’s, apologizing for no reason and being unable to say a sentence without umming and erring. A pitiful pathetic man, with twisted religious beliefs, on the fringe of associating with terrorists and black supremecy groups throughout his lifetime. A totally unsuitable man (and man is a generous term, here) with a hideous wife, together they are hideous representatives of our country intent on taxing us into oblivion to feed the government welfare programs while strangling peoples chance at the American dream in the name of their elitist version of equality which only works for those of a similar mind to them.

    If Craig believes calling Barack a man too generous what would be a fairer representation?

    Well, there goes race commentating at Dubai, I imagine.

    Maxillon sums things up excellently in the Lounge.

    All in all, we’ve probably all made terrific gaffes in our lives and rued the day. It’s all part of life’s reminders that we are merely human. I’m sure Craig is not a bad person but perhaps, in this instance, discretion would have been the better part of valour. Be more ruthless with yourself Craig if you want to progress in your career. By that I mean don’t feel obliged to share yourself (thoughts/opinions) on public forums. The media folk who keep themselves to themselves have far greater longevity simply because ‘the public’ prefer a sense of puzzlement and mystery about them.

    Can you imagine our very own Richard Hoiles on his soapbox, doing a
    "Craig"! I can imagine Richard stopping traffic on the A1 to let the crows cross the road!

    Actually I give generously to the animal shelters where I have my beloved dogs from.

    You still have not explained why or how I am bigoted. Or shall we agree that was just a rash thing said in the passion of the moment and leave it at that?

    Colin

    Collectivist is used in opposition to individualist.

    Collectivist would apply to Plato, Socialists, Communists, Fascists and the Co-Op.

    Would also apply to the kibbutzes in Israel.

    The good of society leads to the subjugation of the individual.

    The basic feature is that the means of production are owned collectively rather than by individuals.

    I’m glad to see that 4 years at the London School of Economics has finally come in handy.

    Craig you will find yourself labelled as a bigot simply because you dislike Obama who happens to be non white. Thats what happens in the UK in this day and age. If you claim not to like someone non white you are expected to explain in great detail why and prove yourself not to be a racist.

    The left wing rulers through the media have drummed their idea of racism and non racism into the public subconcious for years and years now.

    Its a bandwagon – If you are told something often enough ………………….. .

    Craig

    If you are not already familiar with his endeavours, Google Robert Tracinski. In my view the most consistent libertarian currently writing and an excellent commentator on US politics.

    (I entirely share your view of President Obama.

    Some, of course, dislike him – or indeed support him – because he is black

    . That is utterly irrelevant to his worth. What makes him everything you say is that he is a collectivist with highly dubious associates.)

    Since when has Obama been black? He is mixed race he is no more black than he is white despite what we’re constantly told.

    94 / 97 percent? of black Americans voted for Obama by the way because he has black in him. Isn’t this racism? Wouldn’t white Britons be absolutely crucified for doing that against a black candidate?

    Of course the black Americans may have voted Obama into power because of his party or policy …. anyone really believe that?

    Black Americans have often voted for the Democratic Party. In the 1968 Presidential Election 92% of black americans voted for the Democratic Party candidate.

    He wasn’t black.
