Thread Name: BS: Bury 'The Ashes'?
Subject: RE: BS: Bury 'The Ashes'?
Listen WAV; you still haven't answered my question about whether you have in fact been to any first class cricket matches since 2000, and have resorted to calling me stupid and also repeating your vile racist arguments about all over this board. Why should I be nice to you? I can demonstrate conclusively against accepted definitions that you are in fact a racist, and I've never been nice to a racist in my life.
As with almost every other area on which you see fit to pontificate, your outpourings prove beyond doubt that while you may have an interest in cricket, you haven't bothered to learn anything other than the superficial features of the game. That's your problem WAV; it's really irritating when you seek to lecture people who actually know a lot more about the subject in question, and who find your ideas puerile at best and repugnant and obscene at worst. Examples abound, but I guess you lecturing Eliza Carthy on English traditional folk music was a high point. Your views on why women should be prevented from playing lawn tennis were another, and an Australian with no knowledge of football trying to tell a bunch of Brits how the game they grew up with should be organised was truly risible. Your ideas about English culture bear no resemblance to any culture that has existed even briefly in England, and appear to be based on careful study of hymns, a very limited number of traditional songs and perhaps the odd seaside postcard. For someone who claims to have anthropology qualifications, your views appear a little under-researched, don't you think?
Finally, I'd like to add another 'ism' to your growing list. You keep proposing controls that would keep national cultures 'pure' and unadulterated by influences from other nations. An example was your assertion that people in England should not be allowed to perform any music originating in America. That's fascism, WAV, naked and unadorned. Look it up.
I'm not sorry for any of this WAV; you are an unapologetic fascist and a racist, and I will continue to challenge you as I would with any other fascist and racist. The fact that you deny that you are a racist doesn't make it less true; please don't bother to repeat all your ridiculous arguments about imperialism, fair trade and so on; we've heard them before, and they are still irrelevant.
Granma McAlatia says hello, by the way, and hopes you are feeling better.
