    I am pretty new to this site and the most pronounced thing I've noticed is the fact that ppl completely object to racism i.e. ******, paki ect and the steriotypes that "plague" these ppl but calling ppl knakers and saying that they are ALL thieves, murderers and conman seems to be totally completely exeptable. I was just wondering how you would try to defend your points of view bearing in mind that you come out so aggresively against the latter through steeotypes alone.?

    Knackers is a term used on boards mostly to describe scumbags/muggers/junkies etc rather than travellers (which is what I think you mean, its late and I'm tired) so it's not a racist term as such as the general underbelly of scum in the country can't really claim "race" status.

    Let's face it; the [strike]nerds[/strike] members of boards can't have a civilized conversation about racism without getting their internal harddrive conflabulators in a twist.

    What's the point of this thread?, how can people racially discriminate against those of their own race slipss?

    I just closed a thread like this. I'm letting this issue settle as we have attracted the attention of a few muppets. Don't repost any similar threads for a little while.
