Dude, seriously, I'm getting a little tired of you telling people to open their minds?
Who are you? The freakin Dalai Lama? Are you Morpheus? Have limitless knowledge? It's really arrogant and starting to be annoying. Furthermore, back on point, just because Adamosgp has "countless idiotic posts" how does he qualify to be a representative for a whole culture? Again, arrogance... |

Grow some skin and go outside without a set of rules for a change. You might see something other than what you're told to see and feel. If anyone is tired it is me for having to explain myself, given rather benign and truthful comments, none of which hold any offensive material UNLESS YOU WANT AND WISH IT TO BE, to people like yourself. If anything, you're lending creedence to my point of view. Good show. This is of your choosing it doesn't really affect me.
I refuse to live like that. I'm not opening this stupid thread anymore. Some real thin skinned uneducated PC sheep in the world that's for certain. http://popcornmachine.net/ A must-use tool for NBA stat junkies!

Someone has to come up with an acceptable list of ethnic stereotypes we can all reference when such generalizations are called for.
As an American of Italian descent, I have gotten overexcited when reading some of these recent posts, but I am a bit of a coward so I really feel uncomfortable getting into a fight over this kind of thing. The creation of an agreed upon compendium of acceptable stereotypes for national origins that can be used on UK would stop many squabbles such as this one. Then, if someone called me a garlic eater, I would not get upset because that would have been one of the Italian stereotypes on our list. Of course everyone will have to declare their bloodlines, and have it listed under our UK tag. We could all contribute and agree upon the stereotypes and get a German UK member to systematically organize them and a Chinese member to do any kind of statistical analysis on them. Seems like something that might have to be done to keep the peace around here. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities- C.N. Bovee

Therefore, from now on, should anyone refer to me as wealthy, a lawyer, having too much guilt, olfactorily-challenged in a lengthwise direction or running the world media, I will first sue you, then buy you out, then castigate you in front of your mother and finally, defame you in my newspapers, tv networks and radio shows. And if that aint sticking my nose in your business, I dont know what is. Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?

Thing is my nationality has no stereotypes. I'm from Iran.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
