this oneI know there are different translations, but which version of the Bible has the Samaritan preempting the violent robbery by wading in with fists first?
I’d like to see you try. The landlady is a close personal friend of mine. Cant a guy just have a pint and discuss the use of the word **** and offensiveness?
No need for that, could you use **** to remove that offensive word, I`m feeling really offended by its offensiveness.
This morning at 07.25 I saw a man aged about 35 waiting to cross a busy road near home. He had a satchel over one shouder and was carrying a girl aged about 11, who was naked apart from a pair of pants. She was hugging his neck tightly so it didn't look as if she was being abducted. I drove on wondering what I had just seen and settled on the conclusion that she might have sleep-walked then regretted that I didn't stop to offer them a lift, but then thought I might have become unwittingly involved in something unsavoury. Sad really.
Jesus wept...
(Christ I can't even say that lest I offend Christians by blaspheming)
(Oh for ****s sake done it again)
(Oh whatever...)
For the perpetually offended:
Do your own censoring, the rest of us will act like adults and read things in context.
I’m now the racist/homophobe?
If that is the case, then the person who outed you has also outed himself. Cos, he's typed that word too and it appeared on my screen two times typed by him!
I just listened to this. Gosh
lol excellent.
So…. let me get this right….. I relay a story of how I had a barney at a load of gammon racists in my local, calling them out for their racism and homophobia, thus effectively barring myself from my nearest pub (which I used to frequent quite a lot) and because I quoted the actual words they used, I’m now the racist/homophobe?
Does someone want to talk me through the logic of that one? Because to be honest, I’m struggling to see it.
I certainly didn't call you a racist, nor was i inferring it, I'm not sure anyone has called you an racist here- I just felt that it wasn't needed to type out those words when other term(s) would have laded the points you made just as adequately.
I was also surprised that the word was allowed at all REGARDLESS of the context. It has been pointed out that this is not a swearword and therefore eludes the 'swear' filter. I have also been told such moderation on STW exists as this is a website for all ages - therefore it seems that self-censoring that term might have been a good idea.
If this becomes an exercise in free speech then you'll love my upcoming next forum topic: '****s and other offensive terms: boo hoo or naw?' see you there yeah?
Going back to the original post, my dad apparently once received a £20 tip for throwing someone out of the hotel bar where he worked.
Surely there are pub pubs and then there are family restaurant pubs. If I was in a pub pub and someone was swearing away like a grimsby fish wife then so be it. If the establishment in question is marketing itself as a family friendly restaurant then its not appropriate.
Next to my house is a family pub, it markets itself as exactly this with 3/4s of its floor space being restaurant and a smaller bar (they even have kids menus that come with a pot of crayons). I've asked loud sweary types to keep it down before when they were about a foot from my kids and describing a very sordid affair with a lady who liked bum sex. It seemed fair to ask them to keep it down a bit, if they'd refused I'd have asked the staff to have a stronger word. Getting all up in the face of a drunk is never going to end well and is not my job.
Calling out racists is always appropriate no matter the establishment...
I’m not sure anyone has called you an racist here
Well, not for a while anyway 😉
Considering your hatred of the term, that’s 3 times you’ve typed it now, any particular reason?
it’s an exercise in free speech now, is it?
Ok buttercup... you go and start your thread on top tips to unruffle petticoats
buttercup
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT ISNT UNDER THE SWEAR FILTER! I FIND THAT GROSSLY OFFENSIVE AND WOULD EXPECT TO BE PROTECTED BY THE MODS FROM SUCH LANGUAGE!!
HARRUMPH!!!
i shall now proceed to type it in my next few posts to further prove how much offence I have taken!
I hear you're a racist now Father?
you guys.
It's just cool to know what is accepted here and what isn't. Its been enlightening today.
Wait till you find out what else isn’t on the swear filter.
You'll shit yourself with rage...
There’s only one word of any importance here....
context.
Just have a think about it. I quoted the words as they were used, as that’s what the real world tends to be like. In the context of me seeing my arse and standing up against the people using them
you read that and decided that, from that, you’d have a pop at me for repeating the words, and the moderators for allowing it
Have a word with yourself
Does kinda ram home the thread title though Binners.
You monster.
I’m a disgrace to humanity. **** it! I might try joining in with the racism next time actually. If you can’t beat ‘em....
I’ve just read the whole thread. Question - Am I now a racist?
For those who feel offended, just be offended and carry on with your day.

Meanwhile, over on Hitlertrackworld, someone has been accused of being, quite literally, Binners
😂😂😂
Does kinda ram home
Can people please stop talking about bum sex?
In line with my new found homophobia...
PERFUMED PONCE!!!
Maybe I wrote it in a moment of drunken sincerity
@Binners : an apology
Having re read my points above I can see that I owe you an apology. I genuinely was not in any way suggesting using those terms made you a racist or indeed a homophobe. I do detest those terms, and had a bee in my bonnet about it. The bee is dead now and my bonnet is hanging up. Apologies also to the OP for derailing what was an interesting read.
No worries Nick. No apology required.
I wince when I hear people using terms like that, hence going off the deep end when I’d heard the ‘N’ word one too many times from the gammons at the bar.
Interestingly, after the incident, it’s me who’s now ostracised by a lot of people. Not that I care. As apparently it’s me being a snowflake that’s the problem, not them being openly racist and homophobic. Ho hum.
The landlords comment after the incident?
“If he’s that bothered about it, he should have gone and sat in the other room”
There you have it. How to deal with racism, East Lancashire style. You couldn’t make it up!
You are the Rosa Parks of Ramsbottom.
" I ain't sittin' at the back of no pub"
The "No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs" sign at the front of the pub should have bene the giveaway.
East Lancashire? you might be closer than i thought! 😉 I'm not native to the county as it happens, ironically I'm a bloody immigrant.. (I'm Scottish)
I’m descended from Bloody Immigrants too (Oirish) 😃
Not really Ms Parks PP - I just have a low tolerance to nobheads
CANT COPE WITH THE IRONY
