How the hell do you get to call me racist?

Hey, I thought it was a democratic forum with free speech...

But apart from that, I think it's quite clear what you are and several Indians can certainly testify to the fact that you have abused them verbally merely for being Indian...

That and the fact that despite your constantly downvoting my posts, I have not once downvoted yours

You've got it wrong Dave. I'm not constantly downvoting your posts. Apart from your posts on THIS subject, I only downvote you once in while when I REALLY disagree with you. Otherwise, my normal response to your posts are 5's. I don't have the statistics, but I would say that at least 80% or more are upvotes... I didn't even downvote your "Indian" remarks I mention above even though I really thought you out of line there. I even helped you by upvoting you on one occasion when you needed a few extra votes to put you over the top on some milestone, if you will remember?

If you hadn't noticed it - you might not have been observant - I actually liked you and I really enjoyed our friendly bantering and word games.

It's not I that spend the time in front of the computer 24/7 ignoring the fact that I have a family to take care of...

Then why give me the abuse?

Of course I am up for an argument, based on advancement of premise and logical deduction, but name calling and abuse just riles me.

We may have a difference of opinion, but there is no reason to get abusive on matters.

Also, I certainly did not get racist against Indians simply for being Indian.

I have had to point out a few times to certain Indian members who were getting rather nationalistic, a few home truths, which they didn't like.
But truth is not racism, truth just is.

They assumed me to be ethnicist (A more accurate term than racist, which is often used incorrectly), but I wasn't.

The trouble is people often jump to conclusions based on opinion, not fact.

(I too am guilty of this, I admit).

I think the thread has jumped too far into the mire.

I will apologise for any insults and abuse I have given you, so long as you can accept that we have differing views on various moral standpoints.

Because I made it clear from the absolute beginning that I did not want to discuss this here. My post was directed at the CP operators and was an attempt of ME getting a dialogue with THEM.

But you couldn't leave it at that???

However, I DO accept your apology and I extend mine in return.

If you really can accept people having different views on stuff, I will say that I still think that you are sometimes out of line with your remarks towards Indians. But it really is true that I have never meddled in that or anything else you have written, nor will I...

Your post took me by surprise, and you are a bigger man than I thought (and I have seen your profile pic). And faster than me to apologize...

I have always accepted that when you are wrong, you admit it, and do so quickly so as to move on and not look like a complete arse!

posting a link to an absolutely disgusting and offensive page about cruelty to animals.

Where? I saw no cruelty in that link. Eating the body of a dead cat may not be to your taste (or mine, though I'll give it a try if it's served to me, just like everything else I've eaten), but there is no cruelty in doing so. All it is doing is using a resource that would otherwise be wasted.

Just because you don't eat a specific animal, is no reason why it is intrinsically disgusting.

Jews and Muslims won't eat pork - Loads of other do.
The British don't eat horse - the French do.
Americans don't eat dog - Koreans do.
Westerners don't eat insects - many others do: Witchetty grubs, locusts, grasshoppers.
Bird Spit? See birds nest soup.

etc., etc., etc.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

The amount of Eastenders you have to force them to sit through before they hurl is just cruel.

There are those who understand the difference between those species that we have made into pets (a word that means object of affection) and those that we have domesticated as a food supply - and there are those who don't. You have to pity the dullards, because there is no way to educate them.

There's not much I can add to this debate that hasn't already been covered by the discussion here.

I'm a cat lover myself and thinking about eating a cat makes my skin crawl. However, I have many vegetarian friends who can't stand the thought of eating any animal. You can't judge other cultures and ways of living based on your values.
