Well put H.

Too true Hoov
The sooner we are all one colour (whether black, white or purple),the sooner we might be able to achieve world

Helelou

Purple No, not purple - the human race would end up extinct...

wiped out by a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater..


(anyone old enough to remember the reference?)

Sure looks to me...

H.

Okay no purple, but what about yellow polka dotted........

Yeeeesss

A planet populated by Mr Blobby lookalikes?

Actually might not be a bad thing... at least I'd fit right in

Mr Blobby?...sounds like a bad kids character.I'm an aussie...please explain?

This is reminding me of an old Two Ronnies sketch, wherein two labourers in a pub discussed their vision of the future. Mr Barker intoned that he saw the future of the world in some sort of coffee coloured race, in which case he doubtless would be paired off with a dusky Namibian beauty...

*applauds Hoovooloo's post*

Strangely enough I had exactly this discussion with my fossils and a friend of theirs last night. We differed in our opinion quite drastically which I put down to a generational thing - it irritated me how narrow-minded and short-sighted they were being but then that's the whole raison d'être of parenthood isn't it?

Never heard of Mr Blobby... you lucky lucky person

More of a 'big' kids character than a 'bad' kids character though...

Have a look at this...

(If you're at work turn the sound down though )

Well said, Hoovooloo! Inter-racial breeding strengthens the human species.

Is that a proven scientific fact then..?? With humans i mean..

Yes, but why inflict Mr Blobbyon those that blissfully ignorant...

That'll be my 'egalitarian streak' showing through again... why should the Brits be the only ones to suffer

Aaaaahhhhhh.....I wish I was still ignorant! ! !
And this is a childrens show???
Are all english mad












Almost as bad as Barney








Or here in Oz...Pigs Breakfast











No wonder our kids are confused





Weird
But anyway have another

*Boasts of his hybrid vigour*

I'm with Bob the Farmer. Purdy's remarks are inflamatory and ignorant at best. My sister in lw is originally from Hong Kong. When my young nephew is asked if he is Chinese he rdeplies "No I'm Canadian!" Out of the mouth of Babes often comes wisdom far greater than dremarks made by So-called Adults!

You'll probably be less affected by dystempa and hard pad as well, Bob...

I haven't read all this thread but why, Purdy, do you think that surely humans should breed within their own ethnic groups? Purity, aesthetics, or just plain old fanatacism? There isn't any bad reason why this shouldn't occur. Indeed it would strengthen the human race. As with dogs where pure bread animals tend to have congential dsiorders there are several genetic disorders in human that predominate in specific ethnic groups. There was a recent discussion on the BBC science MB about the faulty gene for LADH (that mops up alcohol in your body) which is most prevelent in oriental populations for example. There's quite a few ethnic group specific disorders due to isolated 'breeding', therefore mixing is a good thing for world health. What's the problem?

As for the Chinese/English thing, I dont think of myself as any different as the rest of my mates, they dont think anything different of me. I just wonder what my parents must have been through at times (They're quite old, I may only be 20, but my oldest brother is 40) and think myself lucky that Im born in a tolerant time.

I suppose the only difference I see is that the rascists often dont realise/think of me as coloured and so are rascist right in front of me. I've even had it said to me, 'No, you chinks are ok, its the n*****s that p**s me off.'
I still want to knock that guys block off.
