I see you haven't come up with any quotes to back up that claim?

You'd have thought this very thread would have been the ideal place to do so...though no one has.

Any argument you put forward against racism is negated when you start ranting about shooting those who don't share your political views.

I'd much rather live in a world where there was name calling, wrong as that may be, than a country where people you disagree with are shot, and then have their 'dead heads' kicked about by you.

Re: Carole Thatchter

People on here don't seem to have said that it's ok to call a black person a golliwog, from what I've read most people have said that they hold the golliwogs (i.e. cuddly toys) from their childhood with affection and not as a derogatory term or even something that was necessarily seen as a representation of a black man.

Now, I know times have changed and no way would I ever call a black person a golliwog, however that doesn't take away the affection that I have for the doll I once had.

When I was called racist names, and then attacked, I happen to think that being attacked was the worst part of it. I'm pretty sure other people might agree with me. It's interesting to see you resorting to violence, after apparently taking the moral high ground over what you perceive as name calling.

Perhaps you should leave Accyweb alone when you're blind drunk.

Re: Carole Thatchter

From what I understand she only said that his hair looked like a Golliwogs ...not exactly calling him one. There is a slight difference to me.

We know that there is controversy over this word now, so she should really have been careful, however, these dolls are widely on sale now under names such as Jolly Gollies and Gollidolls (go along Blackpool front). If she had said his hair looks like a Golly, would it have made a difference ? It is the last three letters that are deemed offensive.

As other members have said these dolls are bought by mostly white children to love and caress, not to stick pins in them.

Acrylic Bob didn't suffer fools gladly, but I'm sure he would have made an exception in your case.
