I have no problem with separating some of the scumbags out and declaring the exact same slogan for someone like runaway for example, but to use it against an entire nation is racist either way you look at it.
If we're the one that were wronged, the ones that believe in democracy, human rights and european values then there is no room for these slogans amongst us. We've got a political fight on our hands because we democratically chose a govt that wants to fight this in a political manner. If we wanted to fight this out in a war then sooner or later a candidate will be up there giving this option and we'll all have a chance to vote for him/her. At that point you can introduce any slogan you like to motivate the troops.
Milt, chill out, you'll give yourself a stroke.
I don't have any racist inklings towards any Turks but have taken on this sig because I happen to believe it is harmless and was used in the completely wrong context in order to ridicule or abuse another forumer.
Both Bananiot and Militiades blackmailed jamie_mac, that if he did not remove the sig, they will not post here again. I don't agree that Militiades should be allowed to get away with this and I therefore borrow the slogan, despite not liking it myself, in order to maintain the rights of freedom of expression against the suppressors.
If any TC is offended, then I apologise.
Paphitis, you are a prize prat. If my new slogan offends you then I'm happy, if it offends anyone else then I apologise.
No Jerry, that is just as bad. The best thing to do is to ignore their posts.
Fredoropoulos, it only means that Australians are not to be trusted, and since we are a bunch of ex cons as you say, then it may be accurate according to some people like yourself....
