These forums are inherently racist
What with the christmas theme and all.
I say the christmas theme must go.
It is probably making Muslims and Jews and Hindus and that really upset.
JESUS IS NOT THEIR GOD!
It's like advertising (/trawling) for new believers.
Christmas is like the free gift that insurance companies through in with every new policy (what with the celebrations and merry making and joy to all mankind and all that sort of stuff).
STOP IT NOW!

English only forums are racist against those who can't speak English.

One of the forum rules in "NO RACISM" tho.
THEY ARE BREAKING THEIR OWN RULES!
Hypocrites should be killed.

No, but it's against these (private) forum rules....
(p.s. I don't give a shit if this forum is racist or not, and I don't think the Xmas theme makes it racist anyway, but bleh)

Re: These forums are inherently racist
The option to join in with christmas festivities is open to all.
The option to change skin is equally open.
The option to start a crap thread, unfortunately, is also open.

Agreed, although the option to turn off snow when it's randomly enabled does not seem so available.
(also the smileys)
Also it doesn't snow in most places at Christmas, ffs.

The sleigh smiley and all the other smileys wearing a "santa hat" are permanent (ie whether or not you change skin).
These are all Christmas icons.
As such they are a constant reminder to Jews that they are being oppressed.

It's actually the reduced sensitivity during sex that occurs due to the removal of the foreskin.
Well for the male Jews that is.
Don't believe me?
Just think which would be worse:
"The possibility of dying due to a bomb (everyone dies anyway)"
or
"Having part of your dick chopped off"

You're wrong.
Jews, Muslims, Hindus etc know what the red hat means.
As such they see the red hat they know about Santa and they think about Christianity.
When they think of Christianity they think about how they are being oppressed.
Oppressed initially in real life AND NOW ON THE INTERNET!

Re: These forums are inherently racist
Forums are in the UK - the majority of the users are in the uk,
the uk's major religion and officaially adopted religion is COE
as such we can get away with it
ofc if you are offended just use another style, or don't look at the forums
"we ain't no oxfam"

Re: These forums are inherently racist
[Dear Lestat and Kura]
I keep my record of originality in my posting of threads by posting an old thread.
I have never previously copied an old thread.
As such copying one for the first time is an original act for me \o/

Having threads closed and accounts deleted for making "Jew Jokes" and general derogatory comments about a bunch of people who hold money above all else would suggest that your interpretation of what constitutes race and what the mods constitute as race are two very different things.
( This disagrees with you too)

good point Intrepid, afterall...Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, King of the Jews...mind you, it became rather commercialized in the 20th century
but still Dace, Christmas oppresses no one

I turned mine off too (and yet the santa smileys still exist :( ).
There is a reason for my bitching tho.
I hope to make people see how pointless the whole "people of a certain race will be offended about stuff on a PRIVATE FORUM frequented apparantly by CoE Brits in the main part" argument so things can go back to how they were in the old days when i got to make jokes about Jews and fags and gay Jews and stuff.

Actually, the fat Jolly Santa image, the sleigh and reindeer, the Red hat and suit, and so on are not creations of Christianity, they are all creations of Coca Cola Ltd. and thus not religious at all.

What does Christmas have to do with Christianity? Nothing.
Sure, a thousand years ago it did, but those were barbaric times.

Though notably, if you read through the actual origin of Santa as listed on the page, it comes from a diverse collection of sources, secular and religious.

'Jew' has a historical and religious meaning, race is something seperate to nationality or culture - something which I think even experts get wrong.

Santa imagery was modernised by this drug pushing american firm, however it's basis is from Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas in dutch, americanised to Santa Claus). The idea of gift giving came from the original Saint Nicholas, whilst the imagery may be a product of consumer corruption - the origin and ideas surrounding it are, this is what I feel is important.

Explain the naming please.
There may have been a pagan festival celebrated at the same time of the year pre-christ*, however Christmas itself is Christian (or a stronger argument may be put in favour of commercialism).
