but they're bad jokes! and they are racist! it's not about learning how to take a joke it's about getting people to understand that there's better and funnier jokes out there that aren't offensive. and just cause you don't tell a racist joke in front of someone who might get offended does not mean that you're not a racist' date=' it's probably worse to be honest than someone who goes ahead and tells jokes about black and chinese people in front of them. at least they can plead ignorance. you understand the offensiveness but still tell the jokes to your friends. and that makes you a racist. i have friends who do the same thing and when they tell a racist joke in the pub i tell them straight that i don't like it and that they're better than that.

i like offensive jokes and comedy. but it can be offensive and not be racist, homophobic or any of that crap. don't be jim davidson, be bill hicks.[/quote']

I disagree, I can't help but laugh at some racist jokes, it's one of those things that you laugh because you know you're not supposed to, and I don't believe it makes me a racist. A racist is someone who has a problem with another race, I don't. I have friends of all manner of colour, race & sexual orientation (male & female). I agree that some jokes take it too far and some quite frankly disgust me, but none of us perfect.

exactly' date=' this whole stuff about being worried how to look at a black or asian person is fucking ridiculous. the only people i'm ever worried about looking at are large drunk sweary white guys on a friday or saturday night on union street. in fact, any large drunk and sweary guy be it white, black, asian or anything i'm generally wary of looking in their direction.

one time i was walking home and was considering getting a taxi so i walked past the taxi rank and took a look up it to see how big the queue was and some prick goes "what the fuck you looking at you dick, want a smack?". unbelievable. if people have such a problem being looked at they really shouldn't be standing in a taxi queue or indeed be in public at all.

why do you have to think about how to treat someone who looks a little different to you? everyones the fucking same really, we're just different shades. black, asian, goth, ned, punk, indie kid, hip hopper, we're all the fucking same. treat people how you expect to be treated and nothing less and no more.[/quote']

Yep agree with this 100% I treat everyone equally. I know a lot of people tip-toe around other races as not to appear racist, but this is in fact just as racist as spewing abuse at them! Banning xmas cards incase it offends muslims etc etc, it's getting fucking ridiculous! And I'm fed up with other races using inverse racism to their advantage! I know one black guy in particular who pulls the racist card at every available oppertunity to get his way! I enjoy pollitically incorrect jokes, yes they can be sick, but who cares? I'd never repeat them in front of the parties who would be offended, and like people said before, some people need to learn to take a wee joke.

Hi guys, could anyone tell me, are Uni-lateral & Contraleral Visual Neglect just the same thing? I mean I know there is a subtle difference ie. one just refers to one half of the visual field being gone and the other means that the half of the visual field which is gone, corresponds with the opposite hemisphere. But in terms of research, is it a case of either or for the name? Because I'm researching for an essay and have had results popping up for both and they seem to be the same, just wanted to be 100% sure before pressing on, cheers!

Andy

Agreed 100%.

Only exception is the French. I hate the French.

Hahahahahaha

I'm not against any race / colour / religion / sexual orientation or whatever. I take people as they come. If I think someone is a dick, I'll tell them, be they black, white, or bloody purple.

Andy

Updated, the solo is a little clearer in the mix now.

I'm trying to network two computers together in order to play games (narf). I connected them physically with a network cable' date=' what next?

Thanks in advance. [/quote']

You need to make sure that the IP addresses are very similar, maybe differing by a digit? Eg, 0009998 & 0009997 or whatever. Firewalls can be a pain in the ass and prevent you from connecting as well, so make sure you've disabled them.

I'm so glad I don't have your life.

Dragon tattoo..

*cringe*

Fuck you asshole I'm glad I do have my life, so I don't give a fuck what you're glad about!

Andy

now thats a plan

Yes it's true. I'm officially a genius

Andy

I'll change the order then. Tatto first, then hammered

Andy

Well I've just completed my plans for the Alice Cooper gig in Glasgow next month! Plan is: gettin megabus down with my friend Sophie, who has given me a free ticket! She is such an awesome gal! I then plan to meet up with my friend Calum (aka Rusty) in the city before the gig! We plan to get scarred (am thinkin a nice dragon?), then hammered, then go to the gig with Soph! Afterwards the whole lot of us (accompanied by various friends) will proceed to get absoultely obliterated!

Sounds like a plan!!!!!!!!! Am I genius or what?

Andy

anything from Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy Series)

Andy

Does anyone know anything about the wee medical practice near the uni? Not the old aberdeen medical practice, the other one on King Street. I need to go to the doctors' and am not registered, what are the chances of the said practice letting me?

Andy

Anyone recommend any tablets or anything to help my sleeping patterns? No matter what I seem to do, I just can't sleep at night. It's making me ill, and costing me half of my days. I've tried gettin up really early (pain!!) and doin lots of exercise, etc etc etc, and nothin seems to work.

Andy

Nae bad lads. Not my usual thing, but some nice string arrangements. S' no a bad wee track at all. Good work.

Andy

Anyone have this album? I was thinkin of checkin' it out, but am a little wary as I wasn't keen on his last one, Eyes Of Alice Cooper. I loved Dragon Town and his 80s / early 90s stuff, and quite liked some of his 70s stuff, what does it sound like? If anything? Cheers

Andy

stomp boxes is definetly the way to go.... multi fx sound to processed IMO...

u get a much nicer' date=' natural sound from seperate fx boxes that u would with multi effects.[/quote']

Agreed. I don't use that many effects (mainly just Wah, Chorus & occasionally Delay) so I'd much rather invest a bit more on 3 corking pedals opposed to spending less on a jack of all trades cheaply made multi effects contraption

Andy

velvet revolver didn't rock in the 80's.....FOOL

Some of the members did. And he didn't say specifically VR rocked in the 80s, he said these were bands he digged, AND anything that rocked in the 80s. Now you just look silly

Andy

personally not a fan of hers but if it's female singer/songwriters you want you should check out Aimee Mann - Lost in Space. Probably pick it up in Fopp for a fiver or download a song called 'It's Not' by her. It's heartbreakingly good in my opinion. Very underrated artist.

Thanks, I'll give her a try.

Andy

Just recently listened to a copy of "Songbird" I've had kicking around for ages. It's a lovely album, very nice music to chill out to, very calming. Anyone recommend anything similar by her or similar artists?

Andy

Radio Lucifer
