I generally try to look at any nation or people with tolerance and understanding, even try and see if I can pick out good points in them which I can appreciate and learn from. But in the case of the Brits, when I reflect on how they threw their weight around the entire planet in the 19th Century, and in particular how they poisoned the Chinese with opium (I'm Chinese) and later blew them up when they tried to put a stop to it... I believe most of you can guess what sort of things I'm likely to think or say... (I know, it's more than 150 years in the past, but still...)

If Earth were Dominus, the British (of the 19th Century) would have to have been the Rapax.

Lets take this to PM shall we man. No need to make this *mostly comedy* thread turn ugly.

Edit - Well, it appears I am unable to send PM's to Mr Dark. That is helpful. If you are still reading this I am sorry if I caused offence. This thread was writtne as I was being accused of attacking American at any opportunity. I was trying to show that there is a wealth of difference between hating a country and hating the policies of the government of that country. Go back and check my top ten, are they all directed against the people of the UK? Are any of them? You have me exactly right when you say a thread that actually did say "All the people from country X are bastards", but is this one a thread like that? I was trying to show to some members here how stupid an accusation of being "Anti-country X" is based on critiscm of their government policies. Mods, please go easy on this guy. I don't think he was fully aware of where I was coming from. And go easy on me as well actually... for the reasons above... please?

Is there anything in the rules and reg's regarding racism? which this post obviously incites. I've copied it all now anyway, including my post which is obviously acceptable when racist hatred is allowed to go unchecked upon these boards.

TOP TEN REASONS TO HATE THE UK.

Yep, hatred (like the author maggot even understands it) and the name of a peoples would suggest to me by its very title that this is a racist thread designed to cause disruption.

Listen Barry the ****, did you honestly expect by writing shit like this that no-one would be offended...did you ****?

Whilst sitting in your London home, in the warmth telling me what a shit place this is when I've had family maimed to give two bob **** like you the airspace to gripe and bitch and whine like the stinking scum you are. What is your input into the U.K? Tell me, what has the U.K gained or gleaned from one such as you. Are we the better peoples because a rancid maggot such as yourself was given a soapbox upon which to stand to spout your filth across the globe? **** off and die ****. Listen to me now ****, I'm bang dead centre of London and I'll happily meet you in any pub car park of your choosing, ANY!! bring your firm ****, you have none, you are lonely, you are friendless and you count for nothing.....absolutely **** all. Did your mum or dad leave you as a baby? Face it, who could blame them. Who's rancid diseased riddled prick did you dribble off of anyway?
Tell me, did you ever write educational notes for Osama bin Laden? Top Ten Reasons To Hate The USA I think one of them had been reading. Some soppy **** had written it to amuse himself, a few thousand people enjoyed it when their lives were shattered. But of course it's ok...it's somewhere else, I didn't mean it like that.....my hatred is a different kind of hatred.....****.


You are a child educated where? To give you the inteligence for what? Please die ****, commit suicide, you are unwanted, unliked and unloved......useless......now **** off.

Like hatred do you Barry?
Lie to me that you wasn't taken aback or upset by the above.....go on....lie.
I revoke wholeheartedly the above comments but if thou wouldst deal in hatred then understand it in its mildest and safest of forms and witness its ugliness. How dare you even post such a thread? You have intelligence and you were completely aware that some people would be upset.

Now do a thread.... 10 reasons to hate Paki's....Go on, I dare you, How about 10 reasons to hate the black bastards?
Oh who was the bloke who done the concentration camps btw, the very individual I mean? Was he English? Was he Scottish, Welsh, Afro Carribean, perhaps part of the Raj, all part of the U.K/Commonwealth of course so it's nice to know you would sweep so many nationalities into the abyss on the pretext that some-one somewhere told you that the bastard was/might/could be English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh whatever, sweep em all away........ racism at its finest.

You thought you may get away with it. What was the purpose of this deeply antagonistic thread? Was it to show people your educational prowess? was it that you may inflame someone such as myself and then partake in some kind of psychological joust? What was the purpose. Don't be giving me shit about it's a fun thread because it's anything but, one needs only read your opening gambit to see and realise that this is a highly offensive and potentially volatile thread. For the individual that tried to make light and suggest this thread was a way to let off steam.......bollocks. This thread was designed to upset. IT IS RACIST.

Barry the Sheep, Keep your head down, don't look too far in front, keep your head down and keep looking for the grass that's greener, find it then **** off.......I won't follow.

Dark, for excessive foul language used to flame another forum member (some of the most excessive I've seen) your account has been suspended for two weeks, after which we will reevaluate the status of your membership. If we see threads that we do not agree with here, we do NOT cuss or flame the person who started them. Certainly not to the extent that you did above with at least SIXTEEN cuss words used, all in anger against someone else. That's effectively sustained verbal assault, mate, and is not justifiable by anything.

In any case, if you found this thread offensive all you had to do was email one of the moderators. Just because you found it offensive does NOT give you the right to attack and flame another member with a torrent of expletives and verbal abuse - including real threats of violence.

Barry, you should have known better than to post a thread like this. I don't think that your intent was to inflame racial hatreds, but it *does* have the potential to cause offence to some people who are quite sensitive about their country. (I concede that if the title of the thread had been "Top 10 Reasons To Hate The US" I would have received many, MANY more complaints - maybe Brits in general are just less sensitive to criticism of their country ). Not the smartest thing to do. Some people can laugh and have a self-deprecating look at their country, others can be very sensitive. Don't do it again, to ANYONE's country, ok?

I'm locking this thread now to avoid further flaming and would ask those involved to not revisit the topic again.
