    I don't think Kojak is in any danger from me thinking he's being provocative

    but she definately gets my toes curling</p>

    It's certainly smutty and suggestive, but I think you'd need to be over sensitive to go as far assaying it's offensive</p>

    I think there's something

    to be said for leaving stuff to the imagination and yes it does set the mind running and the toes wiggling</p>

    but it's never going to beat good old fashioned porn for stiffening the sausage and getting the juices flowing</p>

    Oh, I've got views on a broad range of issues, I'm sure most of us have. But somehow one thing that grates on me is the holier-than-thou racist chant critics brigade: 'Verily, I say unto thee this day that thou shalt perish in the flames of hell as I'm sure I heard thee utter a word that bears an an admittedly tenuous but nonetheless slightly unflattering suggestion that a member of another race isn't the incarnation of purity itself.'
    At the end of the day I think its all about your generation, what you see or what you've seen come and go.

    hi mate

    what's my generation ? and what's yours ?</p>

    I'm not a memeber of the PC brigade, far from it. A blackboard is a blackboard... it's not racist it's a fact. Words like ******, paki and wog to me are offensive.</p>

    RE: hi mate

    Well first of all I wasn't referring to yours or my generation, I was just talking in general terms. But as for 'taking offence' at those names I'm afraid I don't understand how one person can be 'offended'. If someone makes an unflattering comment about you personally, you're entitled to feel offended but to supposedly take offence at words like those you mentioned simply doesn't make sense. You can disagree with what you see as a negative characterisation of someone in the same way as I disagree with the way northern people are often characterised. But I don't take offence. In fact quite honestly I couldn't give a toss. The high-horse stance of claiming to be 'offended' is just one aspect of the way in which the younger generation have been instructed to think.
    No doubt I'll now be labelled a racist. Sorry if I've given offence.

    WTF is wrong with some people?

    Of course there is the occasional soft stuff, but most of the other stuff is left to the imagination.</p>

    There are people on this site who are trying to be politically correct - then you go onto the Leeds Utd equivalent and absolutely anything goes on there. Nobody gets into trouble, the site is never threatened to close down, and some of the stuff on there would make your toes curl. Now if that was OUR forum I could understand all this ********, but ours has a few people who try to make something out of nothing.</p>

    Ok, question

    do you find monkey chanting offensive ?</p>

    I personally find it so and I'm not part of the younger generation as I'm nearly 50. I remember in 90 when Sheff Utd played at Oakwell and Agana scored a late penalty, the ponte end erupted into monkey chanting. It thought we'd grown away from that way of thinking. I'm NOT PC far from it and I'm not struck with false moral indignation I just shake my head and muse as to why in this day and age a group of people can be so bigoted to believe that it's good to abuse someone because of their skin colour.</p>

    Maybe offended is the wrong word, probably astounded and disappointed would be better.</p>

    Those who make monkey noises are in a different category altogether. They are total halfwits with a spiteful sense of humour. But those who adopt 'false moral indignation' (good description) are almost as stupid as they are unable to think any differently from the way they have been told to think.
    Yes, judgements of people based on the colour of their skin can be dismissed as bigoted and indeed racist. But to be offended by someone's beliefs is a different matter and shouldn't incur the disaproval of others.
