Why has half of Australia followed me in here? Have they nothing better to do?

Nope. We all live a barren red desert with no attractions at all. You are the light of our lives, as I'm sure you well know.

I'm assuming that your earlier piss taking of everyone in the Barbie was just an abberation... you clearly have no interest in us at all.

You don't really expect me to have a serious conversation with someone who thinks that people are more disposed to riot because they "genetically originate" from somewhere on the African continent, do you?


And I'm not sure who "us" is. You are just a bunch of immigrants like the rest of us.:)

US expats are different -- most can only come here because they've got incredible sexual prowess or big brains. The same cannot be said of OZ where they'll take anyone but grandpa.

I don't think you can have a "serious conversation" with anybody when you constantly look down your nose at them.

You mean you don't look down at people who believe in the genetic inferiority of people from the African continent?

Oh. Now you tell me.

So why do they look down on immigrants in the UK then?

Nice try.. but I was thinking more that you look down your nose at the lot of 'us' in the Barbie, you know, with 'us' not being your intellectual equal.

If you get out of Basildon, you're already one step up on the ladder.

No one who thinks that people "genetically originating" from Africa are genetically inferior is on my intellectual level, nor on the intellectual level of any vaguely decent or even slightly informed person.

I can see that I suppose.

What if you get out of Basildon, but "genetically originate" from the African continent. Where does that leave you?

As we all "genetically originate" from the African continent, it can't really be used as a differentiator.

I said that yesterday in the Barbie. Apparently it's genetically originating from Africa in the 50s that's the trouble. It's quite a complicated system really.

I'm partial to a bit of 50s role play now and again. Of course, I don't think I'd enjoy it if I were the woman.

Yeah. Way too much time at the hairdresser under those helmet dryers and that god-awful permanent cheerfulness.

Typical yank, one right winger makes a comment and you assume that everyone believes the same. Oh look there's an arab with a gun, let's bomb them :thumbup:
