Shouldn't the OP header be

What Y'All Think Of This

[andy-hughes]

To be fair ummmm - AOG and I are both equally guilty of spiralling into another sniping contest.

I accept that he is not going to answer repeated calls for his references to 'cultural differences' and everyone must draw their own conclusions from that attitude.

I am happy to withdraw from this particular spat, because they always end the same way, and Basile's thread is suffering.

I hope my regular combatant will feel willing to do the same.

[ummmm]

It's his childish attitude, Andy.

'I have reported you for your constant racist insinuations'

Has to be post of the month, surely?

[Zacs-Master]

AOG, at the risk of being Paxmanesque, could you avail us of your 'many' reasons why you think interracial relationships don't work?

[Islay]

I think he has been asked on at least 5 occasions now - still no explanation!!

[ummmm]

The only difference between me and my black friends is what we eat for dinner.

[Zacs-Master]

Ewww, they don't eat that foreign muck do they ummmm?

[Bazile]

examples please ummmm

[-Talbot-]

The only difference between me and my black friends is I can drink them under the table.

[ummmm]

Yeah...crazy!!

My boiled bacon and cabbage 'v' his jerk chicken :-)

[Zacs-Master]

Ha!

[ummmm]

Bazile - there are lots of food they eat that I've never tried. Salt fish, plantain (sp) curried goat...etc

But a bit of reality

Round here a mixed race marriage wouldn't bat an eyelid.
You may well say you wouldn't care if your white daughter was dating a black man that's great ... but then you don't live in Memphis.

Cue the heroes and heroines 'still wouldn't bother me'

[Islay]

Divebuddy, I have answered the question several times!

[Zacs-Master]

Rrrrrrice and pea.

[ummmm]

Yep...but other than that we are just the same.

I think AOG is mixing up races with religions.
