well spotted..

but again that's a different thing entirely. cuntface isn't race specific or even alluding to race.

You're like a brick wall aren't you.

I'm trying to show that someone taking offence to someone else using the same words they have used does not make sense.

The teacher wasn't being racist, so what is the problem!!

don't be silly. black people began using the word nigger to take the power of the word back' date=' to appropriate it for themselves. it takes on another context when white people use it and aside from anything else stinks of trying to hard to be down with the kids. yes it's all about context but there is very little justifiable reasons for a white person to call a black person nigger or nigga. if this clips real(it still stinks of bad comedy sketch) then no matter how informal and matey the kids are when they call each other nigga it still doesn't give a teacher the right to call them that. teachers should be above that anyway(though i'm not naive and fully understand how tough teachers have it).

i fail to see the parallel between the use of the term ginger and the use of the term nigger. unless you can jog my memory of the ginger slave trade or the ginger civil rights movement any time soon.[/quote']

We're talking about Niggah, not nigger. Nigger is racist and i don't condone it's use.

I understand where you are coming from but the word has been adopted into the language and I can't see the problem. How many black teens use the N word becuase they are aware of it's historical importance. very very few. If they use it then it's fair game. We've moved on from the slave trade era. As long as it wasn't meant as a racial slur then really, what is the problem!!

if someone comes up to you and says "aye aye cuntface", and you say "hello there cuntface" and they take offence to the word cuntface - it's like the chewbacca defence. it , does, not, make, sense.!!!!

if it's ok for the pupil to use it then it has to be ok for the teacher to use it. take away their roles and if it was just two people, then i don't see what the problem really is. is the little Niggaaah, upset cos the white man used his words? or is he just jumping on the bandwagon of racism.... if the teacher didn't use it as a tool of racial hatred then where is the problem. Like i said above, if someone uses ginger to get my attention thats fair game cos i am ginger. but if used derogatory then it's not on. same goes for the use of niggah in my opinion.

YESSSS!!!! For Christ's Sake! Does no one know how to READ nowadays. FFS!

i read your post - you are harping on about lung cancer, i was just saying it's going ot damage your lungs and is probably going to increase your chances of getting lung cancer by making your lungs weaker... althoguh studies may have shown cancer isn't linked directly to smoking i bet it can be indirectly linked....

I suggest you read my posts more carefully. I am FOR the ban and I know that passive smoking causes other illnesses.

The point is that the government is using a study to prove the links between Passive Smoking and Lung Cancer which is flawed and implausible. It is Propaganda. If they'd used more credible facts' date=' like the ones you've made, things would be different.

And yes, the majority of studies have concluded that passive smoking DOES NOT cause Lung Cancer attributable to smoking.[/quote']

but being fair - it's a pretty good bet that passive smoking is going to do some sort of damage to your lungs eh...

totally.. it's like ginger people (like me). I don't get offended by anyone using ginger to get my attention or in a jovial way. different if they are trying to slag me then the red mist descends just as it would if someone was being called a nigger. Why can't PC fucks just cock off.

*link removed*

seing as Elwood started the serious ball rolling. i've only met two ladies from this forum before and both have boyfriends and I have a girlfriend so no comment.

the kids to say nigga but when the teacher says it back he gets suspended for ten days without pay. Obviously the teacher is dying to say - what the fuck is the problem, Niggah.Click me

you're supposed to love the opposite sex...

unlesss someone complaines then how is it anti-social?... does the law specificly say swearing? what constitutes sweatring, one word or a tirade of abuse...?

i love you all.

Diesel is my latest purchase, issey miyake (sp) and Paul Smith London are another two I regularly use.

I wouldn't be adverse to a machine giving me out some cool water though. an old school fave.

check for a thread started by me just before new year - i posted almost the same question about where to go!. I stayed in the Hilton Arc de Triomphe and can say it's really worth the cash if you want to splash out a bit.!

I'm not saying I'm a casual smoker. I've been smoking for years and I completely admit to being addicted' date=' I just don't want to quit because I enjoy it. If I didn't enjoy it, I'd be doing my best to stop smoking. Everyone has vices, I very rarely get properly drunk, but I love having a cigarette. I'm not saying quitting qould be easy, I just don't plan on doing it. There's no guilt involved.[/quote']

but smoking is minging, makes your teeth yellow, your fingers yellow - stinks up your flat, stinks up your clothes, your breath.. gads...

How did you get started.. out of curiosity...?

I don't think that at all' date=' if the owner doesn't want me smoking in his bar, then I won't. I just don't think it's the Governments place to impose a smoking ban on public houses.

No I don't avoid walking on pavements, it's the risk you have to take to be able to enjoy a normal life. If you don't want to be left with a 'sterile social life' then you can take the risk of a smokey club. Personally I think unless your a travelling pub performer or work in a very smokey pub for a long period of time, then the worst thing your going to be lumbered with is clothes that smell of smoke. Which clearly hasn't been bad enough to curb your social life in the past.[/quote']

So you'd be ok with the pub landlord saying you can't smoke but because the government says you can't you are all against it!?

Seriously, smoking is minging - anyone that started it did it becuase they thought it was cool and the government are giving you a way of quitting but your 'so addicted' you can't do it. I suggest you get yourself some willpower and quit smoking and enjoy the clean air like the rest of us will be doing!

quantam leap

correct... dunno about the gnarls barclay - i'll go check...!

Got this tune going round my head which I heard at the weekend. it goes along the lines of :

" i remember when, I lost my mind".... some more stuff and then " you drive me crazy, .. you drive me crraazzzy"

Anyone got any ideas.. i know this is really not much to go on! think it's a fairly new song though with a dancey ish beat.

Anyway a non smoking law will not make everything ok and if u think this you are nieve.....ok us as adults will no longer smoke in front of each other we will now all sit in the house on a friday saturday night and have a few drinks and smoke in front of the kids.... AYE GOOD FUCKING GOING......... .

God help us if someone as blatantly stupid as you has been allowed to breed. I look forward to getting fries from them sometime in the future.

Your logic really is entertaining. completely flawed though. Now run along and smoke yourself to death in your own house; there's a good 'boi'.

if i told you that you would all go out and buy one!!..

I had a mate who went there called 'Chris Leroux' know him?

the surname rings a bell - did he have a sister who would be about 19 or 20 now?
