Would I use the 'n' word? Within debate on slavery/racist ideology 'yes'. You'd have to, wouldn't you, to have a broad in-depth discussion? I have no other use for it.
No
Oh, and if you are going to try and equate the use of the 'n' word for nasty reasons and two online football fans using the word 'bender' in friendly banter and not for vicious homophobic purposes to so show some kind of perceived leftist hypocrisy.........well, off you go. Should be interesting.

Edited by matt_himself (29 Apr 2015 1.04pm)

It has to be more than just because 'you say so'.

You can't have it both ways and retain credibility.

You understand this. You know this. But as you have been smoked out and have no defence, you have to keep going round in circles arguing the toss. It's sad really, Michael.

In that case , I'd better start using the words'fvck' 'cvnt' and 'sh1t' in front of my lovely old mum so I can't be accused of even more (false) hypocrisy.

Your argument is too weak to be taken seriously.

Edited by Kermit8 (29 Apr 2015 2.46pm)

Bollocks. If I called the Greens 'benders', you would be outraged.

However, it is ok for you to do so, apparently. Because it is in 'context'.

Why?

You come across as having no scruples. Pathetic.

I pity you.

I saw '12 Years a Slave' recently and the term was used many, many times and it seemed appropriate given the subject matter. You personally seem to have an issue with it being used at all no matter what. We've had this conversation before but you never actually clarified your 100% anti-stance. Were the director of the film and the screenplay writers and the actors wrong to use the word in your opinion and if so 'why'? Simple question - would you use the 'n' word? You use 'bender'. Therefore one would assume that you would use other offensive words. With regards to the cinematic usage of slurs, I am not for censorship. However, there does need to be a line drawn. Did you see Django Unchained? To me, Tarantino overused racial slurs in the film for reasons of his own knowing. Racial slurs were to me, used too frequently to be of any relevance to the story and were there to shock and create controversy to hype the film. There is therefore a glance between historical accuracy and overuse to be found. Would I use the 'n' word? Within debate on slavery/racist ideology 'yes'. You'd have to, wouldn't you, to have a broad in-depth discussion? I have no other use for it. No Oh, and if you are going to try and equate the use of the 'n' word for nasty reasons and two online football fans using the word 'bender' in friendly banter and not for vicious homophobic purposes to so show some kind of perceived leftist hypocrisy.........well, off you go. Should be interesting. Here we go again. The issue is that you and the rest of the lefty gang think it is a punishable crime for UKIP members to use words that could be construed as homophobic and yet you yourself use words that could be construed as homophobic but that's ok because of 'context' and its 'banter'. It's hypocrisy Michael. Either you reject political correctness and use the words you have used freely & without shame, or you don't use them at all. No half measures. Your message is contradictory and nonsense. Edited by matt_himself (29 Apr 2015 1.04pm) That is, frankly, ridiculous. Why on earth do I have to use certain words in everyday speech down somewhere like Old Compton Street to strangers and, thus, by doing so be overtly obnoxious, threatening and nasty, just because I have used the same word in a totally benign and friendly context elsewhere? It has to be more than just because 'you say so'. A UKIP prospective MP, or any politician for that matter, whether they know it or not is addressing Joe Public everytime they open up their gob so can't complain if they are pulled up on any unsavoury verbals. And just because some civilian may have used the same words at another time is no kind of defence, is it? Though you seem to think it is. Strange. You can't have it both ways and retain credibility. If you are appalled by UKIP candidates using words you seem to be offensive to gays (you have taken great delight in pointing this out on here the UKIP 'sort') and then use similar words yourself, you are a hypocrite. You understand this. You know this. But as you have been smoked out and have no defence, you have to keep going round in circles arguing the toss. It's sad really, Michael. In that case , I'd better start using the words'fvck' 'cvnt' and 'sh1t' in front of my lovely old mum so I can't be accused of even more (false) hypocrisy. Your argument is too weak to be taken seriously. Edited by Kermit8 (29 Apr 2015 2.46pm) Bollocks. If I called the Greens 'benders', you would be outraged. However, it is ok for you to do so, apparently. Because it is in 'context'. Why? But much in the same way, you've used the word 'bender' countless times over the last couple of pages and think that's fine, but you're angry with someone else for the hypocritical context in which they use the term. Even though you deny that 'context' is a factor. Unless you're angry with yourself too? Edited by imbored (29 Apr 2015 5.12pm) The big difference is that I don't profess for a minute that I am holier than thou on these matters. You lot do. No. You say that we say we are, but this is complete bs.

Edited by imbored (29 Apr 2015 5.12pm) If you called the greens benders, that's your prerogative, but you are not a campaigning prospective MP or a representative of a political party. If Natalie Bennett publicly called someone a bender it would matter as she is representing her party and under public scrutiny. Deflection. You spineless rat. You come across as having no scruples. Pathetic. I pity you. You have no grasp of this debating lark. And for that reason I'm out. Thanks again for the pity, but it's not needed.
