Orac Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 This is what i meant samui,as i dont find that comment one bit racist,as it was meant as a joke.is saying or typing jews racist???? I think it could be more to do with the statement that all Israelis are Jews which demonstrates a breathtaking ignorance of a serious situation and also highlights that some of the intollerance seen on this forum is the result of some posters desires to cause trouble.

OriginalPoster Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) Have you ever considered that the attraction to Thailand is that they're p_ssed off with things in their home countries. What might that be? Let's start a list & I'll go first, so here's two for starters: 1) Political Correctness 2) Liberals & Do-Gooders Maybe, but with a couple of exceptions the people on ThaiVisa don't strike me as being particularly right-wing.

Though your initial comment was I am sure not mant to be taken seriously it highlights the need for some people to introduce contentious issues into some threads with the hope of provoking strong reactions that can then be branded intollerant - it is not only the intollerance of posters that has become apparent here but the number of posters that go out of their way to provoke such responses.

Now you mention it I've never seen a Brit who's smacked a black guy done for racism.... the charge is GBH! Exactly the same as it would be for a West Indian who smacked an Indian, or an Indian who assaulted a Pakistani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalPoster Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 If theres one thing I can't tolerate it's intolerant people. good one! The full quote was from the Austin Powers sequel "Goldmember". It was, "there are two things that I can't stand, intolerant people and the Dutch".

This is partially some of the cause and reason for intolerence(?) on this forum , you read into a statement what was NOT written , only percieved by your clouded(?) thinking , THEM DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ALL . Lack of knowledge of the idiosincrosies of the English language , an ow she be sed aint wa dese ales tinks . To recieve tolerance (acceptance) , one needs to both show and give tolerance , but as one poster noted , some sit behind one way glass windows and forgot to take the kleenex out of thier ears . You need to look for the silver lining in those dark clouds hovering over your head , life could suddenly become quite pleasant . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's another thing I can't tolerate it is people taking my original quote on an internet forum and claiming that it is part of some quote they saw in a movie. No problem with the dutch, mind.

Well, it's always fun to make fun of the intolerant. But we can't blame them, it's not their fault that they were born to ignorant parents and grew up in an inbred society.
