Malky Mackay

Had the pleasure of meeting you and your better half at the FoA and I can safely say amongst the all the banter flying around in the bar, on the course the following day, and at the presentation you were sound company which I enjoyed immensely (apart from the result of course). Like you I've laughed at these types of comments, made them myself too

Than You Martin, thats a really kind thing to say .. and for getting what i am saying
 
I would suggest that everyone's opinion differs on this subject. I have made what you could classify as "inappropriate" comments or jokes in my time before, but in private, with people I have known for a long time.

Does that make me a racist/sexist/homophobic? I don't think so, no. If it did, I would suggest that the majority of the population of this would fall into one/all of those categories.

If you happen to make such a comment within earshot of a stranger, then don't be surprised if someone takes offence. Its a chance you take.

I would also point out that in my personal opinion, using racist/sexist/homophobic terms could/should be generalised as being abusive, not just on the aforementioned grounds. For example, is slandering someone based upon their skin colour/nationality, actually any worse than passing comment on their weight, or hair colour, or accent, or anything else for that matter. For me, verbal abuse is verbal abuse. It's all unacceptable.

I also agree that people are too quick to jump on the racist bandwagon nowadays.
 
This forum as a whole is hilarious.........:rofl:

You get infractions or banned for a period of time for using swear words or similar, but throw in a few racial slurs and it's OK. :thup:
 
Come on hands up , how many on here have had to put up with people like MM and their so called harmless comments , texts and jokes , I have had to put up with it for most of my life over here and its in no way very nice . the one that sticks in my mind was at a Macdonalds with my brother and his 3 sons , 2 of his sons are blonde and blue eyes like my father was and one is like myself and my brother, Brown hair , eyes and a light tan , comments were made to him by a couple of lads that his 2 brothers in tears as they defended him . there is no place in modern society for that kind of behavior be it in private or in public . is it lack of education or upbringing that make people make fun of others for who they are , close the Thread
 
That reminds me of the first time I took my two young daughters to an hotel.

They were about 6 and 8 and palled up with a granny type over evening meal.
Granny type says, 'well you don't look like sisters'
Oldest says 'yes nanna says I'm the baker's and she's the coalman's.

Laugh.....I could have died.

Absolutely incorrect, the mods will jump on anyone who is being overtly racist ,

But it is impossible to have a full debate on the subject without certain examples and situations being mentioned
And therefore each situation is looked at in context.

If a particular post offends you, please report it to us
Thanks
