So your implication is that the others (that pick on other groups) are not "racists, bigots or hatemongers"?

It's either one or the other. Or hypocrisy.

quite amazing how similar the attitudes of English and Americans are
regarding the world beyond their borders.

For example:

* Both see their currency as a matter of cultural identity, while it would
make more sense for Joe the Plumber to have the Amero and for Larry
the Sheep We
also would like to thank Rush Limbaugh for his observations when
editing this post.[/b][/b]
this is just the usual baseless garbage from the site's most pointless troll (aka seitse).

simplistic, tedious, predictable, ignorant, but then again most of your posts are like that...

Think you'd be struggling to claim the English invented football.

You know when the English are in town for a match, though.

Yes, it's the former. I think people can poke a little fun at and/or gently tease ethnic groups without being racists or bigots. However, unless your targets are White/Western/Christians, you are likely to be labeled a bigot for doing so.

Because the terrorists will win if you are against me.

Either you are with me or against me.

Okay. I hereby officially give up trying to figure out what you're talking about on this thread.

Actually I sort of recognise the original post as quite accurate. however apart from the currency, fat, language bit I think it can be applied to nearly every nation.

As for the dig at degrees that are not mathematics and science, that is an appalling lack of cultural awareness to assume that life is just about these subjects. It would be a dull world if it was full of mathematicians, I am just trying to imagine the annual maths assoc conference lasting 365 days a year...
