As I say setting up your own skittles/definitions and knocking them down is not a very sophisticated form of argument. So the United Nations is now just a way that 192 countries can emphasise their differences, promote 'inbreeding' on a large scale and then proceed to wipe the other 191 countries off the globe? Your view of genetics is a bit simplistic.

People get pissed off about simple things - roundabouts seem to be a big deal on this board for example. Earth shattering stuff. Certain people don't like country music on the radio and can get very annoyed about death notices being read out over the airwaves. Replying to people who get annoyed about people complaining about the accent on an answering machine with retorts like, and I quote: "bigoted racist anglophobic scum" is a tad over the top? It certainly leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth.

There is also strange contrast in your post - If a poster comments on an English accent they are somehow scum but if I comment on foreign accents and strange dress being worn in Shannon and I am not bigoted, nor racist, nor scum nor nationalistic in any way - I am out to save the the planet and bring love and harmony?

But soon a peaceful homogenised world will dawn when everyone will
a) Speak English with a pwoper English accent
b) We will all eat Big Macs
c) Drink Coca Cola instead of water (esp in Galway)
d) Outbreed rather than inbreed
e) Have brown skin
f) Live in a McMansion
g) Drive an SUV
h) Like watching Gameshows, Bruce Willis and Tom Cruise films
i) posters here won't attribute motives to a poster where they clearly are not warranted.
j) We will keep your own pet intolerances under control and lighten up a bit.
k) Discover that the best way to combat intolerance is to be tolerant ourselves - poke a bit of fun where you don't agree but no more hate-filled rants please.
