Thread: Built with spanners.

I don't think its funny. At best it is daft - no one builds a vehicle (out of) or with chopsticks. It could be construed as being xenophobic, I'd say racist but I don't know your ethnic background.

You must be drunk to post that.

Okay Mr Serious, get off your high horse, firstly -

I am not racist and certainly do need to elaborate any further than that.

It is just a copy of a sticker, it is merely having a dig at some of methods used by our northern neighbours with their engineering practices, while tipping LR's

It is completely harmless banter and nothing different that any Australian work place would not experience daily.

I am not remiss of the fact that cars are not made out of or with chop sticks.

No, I was not drunk at the time.

Now for some advice....

In the future if you see a thread started by me - do not even open it, if you read a post made by me and your high moral standards are offended then just close it and move on.

You know doubt feel a need to launch a personal attack from 5000k's away, maybe that made you feel empowered, I wonder just how loose your lips would be at the local on a Friday night........

Teaspoon of cement anyone???

I think it's a great sticker. Full stop. I saw a sticker on the back of a Playdo a while back and it stated " save a whale, harpoon a Jap " very ironic i thought.

This is my copy of this sticker. The only reason it's not on my truck is because I am removing the tailgate in favor of barn doors when I get a canopy. Then it'll be a permanent fixture.

Am I conscious it may offend people? Yes.
Is that going to stop me putting it on? No. In the same way I will celebrate ANZAC day, and Australia Day every year, and continue to decorate my house with Christmas lights - even though those around me might not necessarily agree.

This country is getting far too politically correct. We're at risk of loosing our typical Aussie "larrakin" sense of humour.

Thankyou, Drover for sharing nothing more than a piece of light-hearted humour. May we never lose that.

And so say all of us !!!!!

Classic:

First off Drover admits it is not politically correct.

Mools chimes in backing up this argument - and elaborates with more detail on why it is probably not PC

And then everyone goes to town on Mools.

Do you guys agree with yourselves or not? I'm confused :-)

But consider this: I am thinking of another sticker for Toyotas - "Made with the latest technology, not knives and forks". Trouble is without a racist stereotype it doesn't even make sense does it?

And before everyone goes on the attack recognise that there are a variety of views, opinions, people and races on this forum. It is not whether you mean to cause offence or not - it is if you actually cause offence to the reader.

Drover I think you knew your post would cause offence - hence your disclaimer. Why are you even surprised you got a bite?
