No money to ease our problems, but...

[Kathyan]

Gordon Brown gives �50m to Afghanistan! How much more of 'our' money is this bloke going to give away? No link, heard it on the BBC lunchtime news.

Why thank you Quinlad. Was feeling particularly angry at that point and it just makes me so anry when people in this country have the best standard of living in the world and then come on here and moan about it!
Theres only really America in my opinion that can compete against us as the best place to live but until their healthcare system is sorted then I would still pick this country over USA.

So what is that I said you felt was racist? Quinlad.

Can you please throw a bit more light on it.

[keyplus90]

Are you Afghan? Quinlad. If you are then you should know about what I said. And I heard it from Afghans and did not make it up. Any way all you have to do is to look at Afghanistan�s recent history and you would find out that what I said was not completely wrong. As far as racism is concerned I do not think I have to get a seal of approval from anyone else about myself. I am Asian, black, Chinese, white or whatever that has nothing to do with what I say or how I feel about people. Go beck till November 2007 (when I started posting) and find me a single racist remark or even a hint. I usually post in News, R & S, Home & Garden, and occasionally in travel and couple of times under law section. So have a look in all these places.

I hope we are not paying �50 million to the Afghans so they are able to defend themselves from British forces?

Thanks Raggy - I always say that I do have different opinion as all of us have. And I always respect other's opinion. But I am not racist and has never ever been called. My best friend is a black man from Africa. I am 100% Asian from Pakistan and my other half is 100% White English and we have been happily married for over 14 years with 4 kids and now someone calls me racist only I told about a saying in a country which I believe I know better.

[Quinlad]

The old 'Some of my best friends are black...' line. Priceless. Again, I'm not sure you're not just doing this as a jokey character.

The saying suggests that Afghans as a people are aggressive and preoccupied with fighting. And more tellingly, your intial comment seemed to endorse that.

I could suggest that Ethiopian aid is pointless because they won't know what to do with it, and then follow that up with the local saying: 'Ethiopians are too thick to learn how to farm properly.'

But I've been friends with a Chinaman for ten years so that's fine.

You know what Quinlad � I do say things straight and clear so I do not have to give anyone sugar coated. From what you are saying now I agree more with RAGGY and believe that you are a person possessed by something, may be a fear, or complex of some kind. So I will finally say TWO more things and then you carry on thinking or believing whatever you feel comfortable with;

1. I said earlier that I do not need a seal of approval from anyone let alone pixels on the screen weather I am racist, sexist or as many �..ist are there or not.
2. Most important I have added you in my list from now on you are a person who is THICK. Now you may like adding white, black, Chinese, Asian or whatever you feel like after the word thick and change it into a racist remark. I do not give a damn about that. Understand���. Or is this a bit too difficult for you?

[Quinlad]

You do know that the how-dare-you retort in place of rational debate is the classic response of someone who's not sure of their argument?

Is that part of the character too?

By the way, you have my seal of approval.

[The Sherman]

Theres an old saying about pakistanis....

You can lead a pakistani to water but there all so dirty that no matter how hard you scrub them they still smell and then they rape children afterwards.

Dont worry i know a pakistani he serves me in the local shop.

[A.Guest]

The Sherman . . .shame on you

[The Sherman]

Mr Guest i think you need to read the rest of the post to understand why i said that!

[A.Guest]

I did read the post - and still come to the same conclusion.

Also perhaps YOU should read this

9. You agree that any posting or contribution you make to such forums will not be defamatory, discriminatory, racist, obscene, offensive, threatening or in breach of any copyright or in any way unlawful or objectionable.

[The Sherman]

sigh you obviously dont understand irony and if you had read this post you would know that keyplus had chastised the whole afhan race to be murderers so i merely pointed out that anyone can make stupid obnoxious claims about other countries.

Do you really think that i think that every pakistani rapes children?

.....come on understand the context!

[keyplus90]

By the way can someone tell me where I said that all the Afghans are murderers?
