You might want to consider doing a proper job as a mod as well. Your antics may be fun and all, but it's the very reason I've never wanted to be a mod. If you on the other hand want to be one, you'll have to act like one.

We need people like mikhail and Martin. Not you lunatics.
careful Andries, if any of us actually start taking our modding duties seriously you will be bombed out of here faster than it takes Turk to hate a new Inter squad member

seven thinks i'm a scientologist, thus it is decreed and thus it will remain
well you are harldy gonna admit to being a muslim and live in Texas now are you? you would be better just walking about with targets all over your body for the police truncheons to aim for

Is "You are an American/Italian/German/European piece of shit" racist? Or it's racist only when you replace the American/Italian/German/European part with Pakistani/Iranian/African/Asian/Arab?

I guess if it's used in the proper way and not in a pub referring affectionately to a close friend. Yeah then I guess it's racist.

It is generally not considered racist. And the reason for this is ironically extremely racist. The idea is that Americans and Europeans are better off. Same with white people. If a black man calls you a no good white man, no court will convict him for racism. Not calling this sort of behaviour racist, means you are claiming that Americans and Europeans have some sort of superiority.

Thats actually a fair point, could even be true.

But i think maybe historical events have more to do with it than anything else.

    You never "wanted" to be a mod? I recall your wanting to be a mod quite clearly.
    Seven is cruisin' for a bruisin' here.
    or is he hurtin' for a squirtin' ?
    He's scrapin' for a rapin'.
    How about being a listmaker? I heard that ranks worse than being a scientologist.
    :lol:
    I dismantled your joke chimp chump. I know you're not a scientologist.
    Chimp chump?

    Where has that guy been?

    Put it in the bill, I will sign it next session.

    Exactly. This is what I was trying to point out. If I say that Wayne Rooney is looking like a monkey, no one would call it a racist remark but if I state the same about Eto'o it automatically means that I'm being racist towards him. As an Iranian, comparing to being called "an Iranian piece of shit" I'm getting more offended when the one who's calling me "the Iranian piece of shit" is being denounced because of using racist remark against me while no one cares when he is using the same term for an American or a European.

    In a family, parents are paying more attention to the weaker kids and I believe that if someone thinks I'm weaker than a European or an American because of my skin color or my nationality, HE is the one who's being racist.

    I think people do it, because they think that the inequalities in the world will go away this way. But I believe they will only grow. Time and time again you're letting people know you think less of them this way.

    I think everyone knows I've never wanted to be a mod. Ask Alen, ask JCK, ask ANYONE. I've made a few jokes about it, but I have always clearly stated that I would NOT want to be a mod.

    I understand this forum has bit more lax and lenient way to handle things then some others, but this below here is defenitely instant ban worthy IMO:

    i definitely wouldnt mind having the honour of killing a scumbag like you
    Thats over the line however you look at it.


    P.S Wasnt towards me just thought its defenitely something that doesnt belong here.

    Both him and Andy crossed the line if you look closely at the exchange. I saw it and didn't react to it, if any other mod thinks that something should be done, then I'm fine with it.

    Ok, just thought that was really over the line and worse then usual give and take bickering that occured before that comment.

    I didn't say anything even remotely near what that kid did.

    It ended when I said you're trying to get yourself banned.

    I was talking about the exchange, not the context. I didn't read all the posts because it was somehow obvious at what level it was. As I said, I didn't react to either of you, so it's cool beans.

    Burke, I saw your post.
