But the difference being I wasn't the one that said,

"Why on earth should anyone want to declare 'anything' about themselves merely to satisfy your whim"?

I chose to ignore the demands.

[Zacs-Master]

See Naomi, you DID know the answer really! I knew it ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

Demands? You seem to be the only one making demands AOG.

[naomi24]

Zacs, I knew you knew ..... ;o)

Waiting now for aog to cut to the chase, as I asked him to.

[Zacs-Master]

I knew you knew I knew.

I'm still waiting to respond like an adult to just about every question I've ever asked him. DHYB.

[Zacs-Master]

Waiting.....for AOG....to

/// Your mind is a very strange place AOG. Linking being in the RAF with being proud to be a certain colour is wierd in the extreme. ///

It is not I who is weird (correct spelling) or who's mind is a very strange place, those issues can be placed firmly at your door, because if you had read the continuing posts you would not have failed to see the link.

But then you only see what you wish to see where I am concerned even if the facts prove otherwise.

/// I would have thought that 99.9% of people would be proud to be whatever colour they are. ///

I would thought that would be obvious, but apparently not proven by the lack of those proud to announce the fact, as I have done.

[Zacs-Master]

Read Jims post after mine. I was wrong and so were you.

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

/// Here we go with the insults! ///

Yes you and others should cease from dishing them out, you could influence an otherwise polite elderly gentleman from retaliating.

[Zacs-Master]

Polite!

(The man's delusional)

[ummmm]

I suggest you start acting your age.

[Islay]

If people gave you their ethnic background or colour you would store it up to throw it in their faces at a later date - just like you do with me and my apparant immigrant status!!

[ToraToraTora]

well the crimathon is well over, but the apologistathon is still going full steam. Good old right on brigade, PMSL!

[youngmafbog]

Come on TTT you know the liberal left can never be wrong!!

Do you mean this?

/// Maybe I'm "lucky" to be
white ///

Oh dear, is he suggesting that he would have been unlucky to be born Black?

I can now see how easily it is to twist words, I wonder who it is that I am picking up these bad habits from, I must be mixing with some experts on such matters, here on AB.

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm
/// I suggest you start acting your age. ///

/// Here we go with the insults! ///

Now I wonder who wrote that?

The expert at insults no less.

[jackthehat]

Oh, dear.....the thread descends into parody......or farce......and the air is thick with self-justification......LoL

If you (plural) accuse us of 'lefty-liberal-love-ins' perhaps we (the accused) could view you as having 'righty-smug-ins'...?

[naomi24]

aog to Zacsmaster, //It is not I who is weird (correct spelling) or who's mind ...//

'whose'. Correct spelling.

Any chance of cutting to the chase, as I asked you to do?

"/// Maybe I'm "lucky" to be

I'm suggesting that maybe being born in a country when you have certain physical characteristics put you in a minority that historically, and even currently to an extent, suffers from implicit and explicit discrimination could be a bit "unlucky", yes -- and, equally, the converse might make one lucky-ish. Not sure how you think it would be shocking to "twist" my words to say almost exactly what I was implying. But note the "may" and "could" in the above; I was speculating.

At any rate I am not "proud" to be white. I don't see why anyone should be proud of such things. Nor should they be ashamed, either.
