    Hurricane Katrina - Spot the difference

    Unbelievable. Words truly fail me.

    CALM DOWN. Twas a _non racist_ joke!


    It's amazing to me that people still are racist, but then i don't live in America where both sides (frankly) are as bad as each other in encouraging seperatism. Sometimes the UK doesn't seem quite so bad.

    I'm xenophobic, not racist.

    for instance, the one good things the french have done, sink that hippy boat.
    thats it, in their entire existance. They designed the crappy EU-Euro connector (Scart!) that one ****ing plug which i can never get into the telly, its like that embarassing time u first tried to un hook a bra. You know how it should be done, and u think ur doing it, its just too damn fiddly.

    Now people with a deap south accent i imdediatly think are stupid, and been a mental snob, who thinks we could do with stopping anyone with an IQ of below 120 voting or having kids...............

    anyway, you have to remeber for us racisim is totally different we have no ghettos we're we just don't give a ****. Think its not even a generation when they banned people from going to school because their skin was the wrong colour! They want an underclass the same way i do (those who aren't smart in my desire), and they did everything to enforce it, stuff like that dosen't go away overnight.

    TBH it's the grays that worry me.

    I'm fortunate to have travelled a fair bit - and not just to europe - and to have seen other cultures first hand and how they deal with multiple religions and colours. It does vary a lot, and the assumptions we make as British people can be quite wrong (but don't worry, we're far from the worst there). I remember having an animated conversation with a guy about people in the far east - his from a position of 'read a book on it' and mine from 'having been there m8'. Quite amusing, and he was quite wrong. Rule of thumb is - the further away it is from your home country, the less you know/understand about the way they live and view the world. Personally, i couldn't care what religion or colour you are - if you're an arse i'll tell you, if you're not i'll buy you a pint (subject to you being old enough sonny jim).

    its not murder, he's a hippy:
    http://www.southparkstudios.com/show...d1=902&id2=131

    Anyone who ingores duristiction and prevents people doing whats legally correct is a criminal, people who use threats of fear are terrorists. Anyone who on a sinking ship, goes back to save their cameras deserves to be deprived of life. Espesually when said cameras are in a waterproof container, and the vessel is in a harbour.

    always found it infuriaing, the way the press reported "murders by the PLO" and "killings by the Israel army". Even when the killing of a 3 year old was done by the Isreal army by random firing. Then why they killed a uk reporter, the army guy was sent to jail for murder.

    yeh, classic america tbh though

    you know who has 'mystically' been given the rebuilding of new orleans?

    Halliburton, that great oil company who has contracts to rebuild Iraq

    Iraq and New Orleans - both oil rich rich rich rich halliburton

    and guess who is the vice president of Halliburton, Dick Cheney - yeh thats right, the one from the bush administration

    just perfect times right now to be honest

    Haliburton is, and will be, making money by the fist full, but not from oil.

    They get to charge whatever they see as necissary (ie whatever will mostly get the job done and line their pockets) to rebuild and supply.
