5 things that really get under my skin...

[Tantalus]

1. Plc's and Ltd's alike with a slogan that is a rhetorical question. The absolute epitome is "Why pay more?". How many advertisements have you seen with that generic uninspired drivel plastered onto almost every mode of transportation. I'll tell why I would pay more Asda/Tesco Fuel/Injury Lawyers 4 U because surprisingly I may receive "more bang for my buck" if I bought the latter option; I don't want to ponder over the amount I would save going to Asda rather than Tesco because the amount spent accumulates in Clubcard points and Wal Mart know they can't step to that.

2. "Wow, that was random". It makes my skin crawl when some dumb ignorant socialite at school thinks something is random when it is completely relevant to the subject at hand. Do you understand the term? Or are you using it to receive the last word? Pick up a dictionary. Watch Tim and Eric for basic examples and keep your gaping crevace sealed.

3. "But black people can say it". A fascination with the N Word and why others can't say it. If they want to call themselves by a derogative term then by God they're going to call themselves by a derogative term! Yes, hypocrisy plays a part in the argument but my counter would be: what is your fascination with that word? Does it make any difference? What is wrong with saying "greetings"? Be a damn cleaner bot!

4. Graham Norton appearing in every low budget competition hosted by the BBC One to pry ratings away from digital channels (or channel 4). Any show which is worth its own capital doesn't have Graham Norton within a ten mile radii of the studio.

5. Dance Anthem albums. Don't flame me. IMHO every dance anthem album has the same songs in it but "mixed" by a different....individual. I'm referring to stuff like Daft Punk or Groove Armada. Let me be perfectly clear: I'm not saying dance music is crap (not a fan) but perhaps if the "mixers" could find some original tracks instead of regurgitating annual albums.

Questions? Flames? Controversies?

Graham Norton is awesome.

Thing about it is they find the word offending but they call eachother that, so why can't we? It's a very lame argument indeed but I don't back down from saying the N word, my fascination with it? I don't know I find it an amusing word/curse...

I total agree on number 2 though, hate that

Graham Norton is awesome.

I second this.

[Tantalus]

Well if you love him so much make a shrine dedicated to him!

Ok, where did you hear this? Have you been speaking to me brother?

I agree with Number 3.

But the thing is, you can never understand why you can't say it to any black person, because you're not the black person. The way it feels when someone calls you that is.. unquantifiable.. it's.. I don't know.. just very, very, rage inducing.

I don't like it when they call me white trash either Boohoo. They call eachother that, I'll always call them that. Even when they stop saying it to eachother tbh.

Way to miss the point.

TESCO WINS!

But some are better than others, which means, one makes more money than the other. Some just go beyond listening to, e.g Dj Boonie... Man.

But others, you have to love them. I love all sorts of music, and doesn't really bother me what other people listen to, I range from Marilyn Manson, Slipknot to MeatLoaf to Bonkers 17 and Clubland music...

I have a few friends from brooklyn, two of em being very close friends with each other. One is White, One is Black. White guy calls over Black guy " Yo Nig**, over here" Black guy is comfortable with it.
So I think you have to know the person well enough. It's like this: Black people call each other Nig**** as a sign of brotherhood and respect. And if you're white, you have to be seen differently in the black persons eyes, has to be seen like a brother. Thats what I've noticed anyway.

[Tantalus]

I suppose it's context sensitive.

[Psycho]

Well, when Joe Calzaghe was vs Bernad Hopkins, Bernad said he would never loose to a white boy, but if Joe would say "I aint gunna loose to a black boy!" the media, promoters,officals etc would punish him etc, take to court for racial comments and goes on.

[Spiderbot01]

It's because black people are superior.

[James]

It's because black people are superior.

Well, that's like, your opinion, man.

[Siva]

Very context sensitive.

[Psycho]

It's true though aint it?

[James]

Enjoy your no games.

I WENT THERE

[Tantalus]

Yeah but that's sensitivity of the media. That's a whole other story; that's linked hands with the topic.

I agree that white folk are forcedto wear a huge sign across they're neck with "Sorry" written on it but I'm referring to when white people call black people the n word just out of curiosity or in attempts to say "Who's bad?". Remember that most black citizens are contributors to society and therefore shouldn't be confronted with said derogative terms.

I suppose. But people should stop making a big deal out of it...
