I certainly post less, but I think that's only helped the BCG.

Is that the title of your first slash fiction epic?

Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ October 5 2013, 1:21 PM BSTAnd, with no personal intent whatsoever, claptrap. If I may, most people just ain't as touchy as our over anal-listic lefties want them to be. Imo.
I'm assuming that you are a native, white, male, cis-gendered, heterosexual, Christian/areligious person (please correct me if I am mistaken) and so you are not a member of any of the groups of people who are regularly stereotyped by people with more social dominance than you. People in culturally superior groups don't get to decide what is and isn't offensive, that's just how it is.
I think the problem is that so many people are going around without avatars. It's creepy...
How many white heterosexual men does it take to change a light number?
An average number
Now does my white heterosexual male friend with no nose smell?
Unremarkable
Did you hear about the white male heterosexual man?
Yes his story is the medias dominant narrative

The thing is, it's not like I'm saying you can't make jokes about women, just don't make jokes that say all women act in the same stupid way. Make the joke about a specific woman - your wife, your daughter, your colleague, whoever. But if you make that joke about all women you will a) alienate most women b) reinforce negative stereotypes about women.

Tsk. Collect your dungarees and your peace signs from the desk and chain yourself to Jeremy Clarkson's fence with these fairtrade handcuffs.

Or John McCririck's, I hear he's got a big one.

Well, you won't like it, but I see nothing wrong in the 'indigenous' northern European based populace of a country hanging onto their long established cultural reigns, and being proud of that culture and not wanting it to be stolen away in the night courtesy of a bunch of clueless, spineless, graceless, rootless, useless lefties. That cultural heritage including being the first nation to abolish slavery, the first to offer real prospects to better yourself to immigrants, the first to really take care of and respect women and children and all the many other things I suspect you won't want mentioning.
There is nothing racist about that cultural balance of power, only solid gold nutters would want to chuck all that in the skip. You throw that out in a loony fit of modern PC housecleaning and you will destabilise the country way quicker than it's being done by the swamping influx of foreign cultures now. It's our heritage and cultural confidence that is keeping us afloat, just. And that includes our great sense of broad social humour!

Starting a thread like this one could be seen as trolling, since Tim's arguably calling us (almost) all a bunch of boring c**ts.

Yikes. Do you write editorials for the Mail, by any chance? I think it's time to call it a day because you're just making straw-man arguments now.
As often as I disagree with Renegade Carpark, he did bring a certain I-don't-know-what to these boards.

I liked the fact that he could be very funny whilst saying things I entirely disagreed with.

I just assumed he was talking about the rest of you...
He's a very skilled satirist, just lacking a little bit of restraint.
Glad to see he's finally gone and got himself a blog.
There's tonnes of nutty, freelance, right wing blogging jobs he could be doing.

Oh Doc Tim's Tim.
You can't be any more offended then if Prince Phil is being racist.

It is terribly sweet that everyone who agrees with him chooses to imagine this.
