I'm a bad person..

How do you know they're Iranian? Most Middle Easterners look the same to me…

I wouldn't 'think' that, as I don't see such people as those who would bomb me. I don't have such prejudices against them. I don't actually, contrary to my tongue in cheek statement above, ever use racist abuse, even when I'm on the receiving end of it myself. Just not the way I think.

I would use someone's weight as a weapon though. I'll admit that. It is still allowing my prejudice to colour my actions though, and is by that fact, wrong.

If the line is in your head, maybe you need to question how it got there.

As humerous as it may have been, I am disappointed that we supposedly intelligent people resort to the first foible a person might have (regardless whether it's self inflicted or not) pretty sure most people on here would be most displeased if someone started verbally attacking a member of their family should they be different in some way or another.

As a "tubby" who also realises that mistakes can happen when driving, if you'd have acted like that to me I'd have made you eat your bike for being such an ignorant intolerant ****

Edit: regardless of my personal size clouding my opinion, but why is fatty bashing ok on here but comments regarding just about anyone elses situation whether it be race/disability/sexual preference is a no no and gets shut down by the mods? A reek of hypocrisy is filling the air

In an ideal world, using a persons disability as a weapon against them smacks of a throwback to the school ground i quite agree.

However, when the person in question has just driven through a one-vehicle-wide traffic calming measure that I WAS ALREADY OCCUPYING then his right to courteous treatment go out of the window as far as i'm concerned.
This was no misjudgement behind the wheel, this was a straight road in full daylight & i was already entering the chicane, moving over to the centre of the lane when he drove straight at the chicane regardless.
His vehicle physically touched me & forced me into the kerb where my wheels ran down the kerb as i brought the bike to a halt. He knew what he had done as he stopped when i shouted/gesticulated.

To be honest, now i've had time to think about it i reckon he got off lightly. He came close – way too close – to actually driving his vehicle over me.
You may think that is merely a 'mistake' – i don't.

Racist.

Starts out a damn funny thread, then the desperation to be more PC than the last poster becomes ridiculous and cloying.
Great post muddydwarf, shame singletrackworldness got the better of it.

I agree, just because someone has an overactive thyroid knife and fork or suffers from water cake retention we shouldn't take the p**s.

Iranian Bombers?

I'm somewhat rotund & I thought it was funny.

Look, all foreigners talk funny, all Middle Easterners are terrorists, all women can't drive and all people who drive Range Rovers are complete arseholes. One of these generalisations is true. Plus that fat cu*t really did sound like a fat cu*t.

7,000,000,000 people in the world.

some of them are quite nice, most need a punch in the throat.

Two eyes for an eye 😉

why is fatty bashing ok on here

It isn't.

Scumbag driver bashing is more accepted tho.

Scumbag Driver Bashing. Like happy slapping, but for adults.
