Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
WAV; I asked you to do me the courtesy of replying without resorting to your discredited websites or repeating any of the arguments you have used already. You have used both your website and an old argument, and nothing else. No new thinking, no learning in the light of reasoned arguments contrary to your own entrenched views. I'm not sure whether this trait of yours is intransigence, malice, illiteracy or just pure stupidity (in the true sense of stupidity, an inability to learn or to reason).
Guest Ed has given you a definition of racism used by a body you quote as useful in your own manifesto for humanity. It has academic as well as institutional weight, and is considerably broader than your self generated definition which appears to have been invented and refined to suit your own rather specious arguments about immigration and culture. Under the UN definition, your views on excluding other cultures and restrictions on freedom of movement for whatever purpose clearly and unequivocally amount to rascism. You continue to stand by those views and to advocate them personally, therefore QED you are a racist.
Once again; please do me the courtesy of coming up with an argument as to why I and others shouldn't consider you to be a racist, without using your discredited websites or your previously refuted arguments. Lets see if you can think and learn, as opposed to simply repeating old news. Perhaps you could base the argument on a line-by-line comparison between your views and the UN definition of racism?

PS Guest Woody; I recognise the error of my ways. The sackcloth and ashes are on order from ebay, and I intend to flagellate myself daily until they are delivered. Granma McAlatia has offered to help with the flagellating, but I'm not sure I trust her.
PPS WAV; flagellation has nothing to do with playing the pennywhistle.
