Giok;
'There isn't a song anywhere that doesn't offend someone'
Depends on your repertoire, I suppose. Tell me who could be offended by 'The Rose of Allendale' or Guthrie's 'Deportees', to name but two of thousands.

'The only thing lacking is a bit of tolerance,'
A point I was trying to make re your song.

'Sorry old bean, but I think you are a prig.'   
What's this, playground name-calling?   

John, I believe your song thread ill-advised and not thought through. I think the 'humour' contained in it to be harmful to everyday community relations while lending credence to the views of racists. The most polite comment I had on it from some teacher friends was 'Less than helpful.'   

BTW I'd appreciate it if you would respond to my postings in a well-mannered and mature fashion.
