Why is "racist" such a hurtful insult?

Has this thread become County-ist?

Um, it was slightly tongue-in-cheek - but as for the 'hyperbole and exaggeration' judgement on Clarkson, go f*ck yourself. Seriously. He's one of the biggest jingoistic twats that have had the fortune of appearing on the TV or in the newspapers.

I don't give a stuff if you like him or not, I'm not interested. But you're a very angry man, aren't you? Go and play with your rattle.

People of that ilk. There's more than just three. There're actually millions. And they're shite. A waste of space.

What is your issue with them ? Is it their hypocrisy or their general contempt towards others.

He can't.
It's always on the floor by his pram.

Yeah, but I thought the divide was Hadrian's Wall, Merls.

Oh shit man. I'm so sorry. I really thought you would give a shit. Can you tell me whether I should be giving a shit that you don't give a shit?

Nope. But it might be time for your pills given your behaviour. Are you 5 years old or something?

They just live in their own little twee comfort zone - they have little idea about things even five miles away from their own nose. They have a high degree of self-importance. They speak for millions of people just because of their proximity. Most of all their views are misguided and misjudged.

Ouch. Put me right in my place. Tail between the legs time for me. Shoeshine has offered his #28,281 opinion on something and yet again he's right. That's 28,281 / 28,281. Quite a score.

Nah mate - at least with the Jocks you know where you stand - we're the Sassenachs - end of!

With them Norferners it's a guessing game as to whether the Saaf are good for them or not ... they blow hot and cold along with the economy and other such 'appenings.

Better than your "go f*ck yourself" response to anyone who dares to comment on your clearly reasoned posts. There's a Guardian column for you right away for such eloquent discourse. If your going to be a big baby, expect to be treated as such.

Listen Moneh ... here's a simple bit of advice for your tiny self-centred pea brain to activate -

Pull your head out of your arse.

Quality thread, this.

seen such types around every capital in the world. More so in the western commonwealth probably reflecting the heritage of those types you refer to.

Britain has more than its fair share I presume. Tough luck.

It's difficult breathing the air around such obnoxious souls.

Couldn't you take it? By your reaction I expect you're not used to it. Grow up, they're only words.

My addition to that 'suggestion' was that he is easily one of the most sensationalist and hyperbolic 'journalists' that one is likely to read.

But you're really teaching me a lesson here, your brand of personality modification has took me to task - I'll stop acting like a baby.

Clarkson is brilliant, he doesn't feel like he can say anything in his boorish, opinionated and quite often ill-informed way to his large captive audience who lap up everything he says.

Phew.

Shoey?? SHOEY??? He told me to pull my head out of my arse. That's not contributory. That's acting like a big baby. Please chide him in your sanctimonious way.

It kinda reminds of the famous phrase from the old testa.

"And the Lord hardened their hearts, so that they were completely destroyed without mercy".

their false confidence blinds them to the real challenges and they fall down in one mighty swoop.

James May certainly thinks he's a loud-mouthed twat, and he's prolly right, but he's good for a laff, ol' Clarkson.

*Sigh*, no it doesn't bother me in the least. It just says a lot about you that's all.

No problem, you carry on being an angry man if it makes you feel good.

Bit of a petrol head, me, Dan. Top Gear is a top show.

Yeah, I'm not. That may be the start of why I haven't 'warmed' to him. The only thing I really liked about him was that he slotted Piers Morgan. He should get a VC for that.

Fair enough.

More free advice -
Emigrate South, m'lad!.
You'll get a more colourful, healthier and happier perspective of life rather than a boorish self-centred attitude where everything MUST be colured grey or else it's not right!

On second thoughts, stay where you are.... it's prolly better all round and it affords us Southerners an opportunity to have a good giggle at your expense!
