So what happened to old Benters then......? on 11:36 - Dec 5 by Mach_foreignBlue
Public? As for his political views he's entitled to them as everyone else is. Furthermore people have been bashing him for his footballing views too.
No, I mean that he was openly offensive to others on a public forum. I'm very happy that he hasn't been mean to you, but just because you haven't experienced it, it doesn't mean that it hasn't happened has it?
I really don't understand how some people can deny this.
I have been an as*hole to people in my life before. If you ask them their opinion of me, it won't be particularly good. If you ask my girlfriend, parents, then it would be better.
People are simply stating their experiences with Benters, which other people seem hellbent on denying happened.
The mind really boggles.

That would be xenophobia, not racism.
A xenophobia. A racism. An animosity towards people from different countries.... no matter how it is portrayed. I'm an immigrant, been living in UK over 12 years as I came from Poland so due to that and other reasons related to his former job he could have been racist to me.

If he attacked you for being foreign that would be xenophobia, not racism. You aren't a different race. Do you understand the difference?

Dolly don't ask me if I understand the difference right? You aren't the person to ask me questions like that. Me and you have had tens of arguments down the years. You despite having been proved wrong on a few occassions never admitted that and the easiest option for you was to leave particular threads. Now you are trying to be a smart arse again. Time and time again. So don't ask me questions like that. Think what you want.

I always suspected you shared his vile views.
Benters in a dress.
I think you are wrong in comparing Bluebell with Benters, Mr Hunter. I do not agree with her defence of him on here because I think that his TWTD "personality" is indefensible but she has met him and her post is(in part) from that point of view.
Bluebell is nothing like him on here or, from my knowledge of her, in real life.

It's not about being smart arse, it's about being correct. It's an important distinction, the difference between being xenophobic and being racist. You claiming Benters isn't racist because he's never been racist to you, despite the fact that you aren't a different race, is a stupid argument.

I don't know Bluebell or Benters personally, but the idea that they could be similar in any way is simply not on the radar.
That said, this thread will be remembered for bringing the image of "Benters in a dress" into the collective mind of all who post on this forum.

The whole thing is a stupid argument Dollers..
As stupid as arguing over whether Haribo or McDonalds is worse for kids.

Don't you see how pathetic the squabbles are?
I disagree. Mach is claiming Benters isn't racist because he's been accepting of him, despite the fact that he isn't a different race.
What I took issue with over McDonalds is having it as a main meal every week. With regard to Haribo - most normal people have sweets as a treat now and again, not as a main meal every week.
If you think these points are pathetic, ignore them.

Surely Poland and Polish decedents of Slavic race is different to Saxon/Celt/Roman race?

You misunderstand...
What's pathetic is arguing about somebody that isn't even here. I'd even bet money he is reading this laughing himself stupid.
What's pathetic is arguing about the nutritional benefits of Haribo versus McDonalds.
What's pathetic is all the silly little constant arguments and digs people have at each other.
TWTD is a diverse forum, but there happen to be a lot of people that are right. Always right.

I think everyone should go through the process of trying to get to the bottom of what a different race, ethno-linguistic or ethno-religious group, and a different nationality actually is. They'll soon give up and learn that it's much easier to look for similarities between people and just try to get on with everyone instead.
But in answer to your point Poles are geographically and linguistically Slavic people. Slavs are Aryan. Hitler (there you go, I said it) claimed to want a master race of Aryans. But north Africans are strictly aryans, so he probably wanted a race of white aryans. Jews are largely white aryans, so he probably wanted a master race of white, non-Jewish aryans. But he didn't like Slavs either, so he probably just wanted a race of white, non-Jewish Germanic people. If he'd ever looked in the mirror long enough, he'd have come to the conclusion that he was neither tall enough, nor was his hair sufficiently blond for a super sexy master race.
See, if Hitler had given it adequate thought, he'd have given up on his dreams of having a master race and would most likely become an actor doing spoof Chaplin films instead.

You seem to be ignoring my specific points to make broader ones. But you're right, broadly speaking most of the arguments are pathetic. They do add to the vibrancy of TWTD though! I think this place would be way less popular without the silly squabbles. We love them really!
