MN allows racism to stand

You know what I'm tempted to get DH, the DDs and a few neighbours, shove em in a box, or maybe a shed, and see if they are mad.

I think the conclusion of the experiment will confirm my hypothesis that the expression refers to actual frogs, not French people.

Incidentally, I have yet to meet a French person who objects to being referred to as a frog.

Amillionyears, no, what would be silly and wrong is accusing posters of being racist when they arent.

You know, I see you post, a lot, on the mental health and relationships boards. You always seem level headed there, and very helpful and compassionate.

I cannot reconcile that person with the person you are here. I cannot comprehend why you feel it is OK to attack MNHQ and 2 posters over 'racism' that does not exist (and it doesn't, even if you were right, it is xenophobia, not racism). You should apologise, and I certainly think less of you now for not doing so.

There's no 'agreeing to disagree' OP... You are wrong, simple as!

It's a well-known saying. About amphibians in boxes. Not french people.

And please look up the difference between racism and xenophobia. If you're going to be howlingly, hilariously daft about something you may as well try to get one detail right.

I didnt post the link. I wasnt going to. I said I was loathe to name the posters.

Another poster linked it.
The names were then visible.

its still extraordinarily bad form to name and accuse posters of being racist on another thread

op do you have experience of really busy work dat,the ever full inbox
can you se as irked as you were mad as box if frogs didn't require immediate attn
given,it's not litigious,not racist,and not worth getting drawers in rankle.maybe you like the aggro?

amillion, most posters dont look up the posting history of every poster though. that is why your ridiculous accusations are so wide of the mark. that and the fact that is an extremely common saying, with NO xenophobic (not racist) connotations at all. YOU have drawn an assumption, based on your own feelings about mn. why do you continue to post here?

But - it has already been pointed out that mad as a box of frogs is not racist. If anything I would say it demeans the mentally ill.... as opposed to the french. I feel one is being a little silly here....

"I dont think racism is right for any nation whatsoever on earth."

This doesn't actually mean anything. Do you know the difference between a race and a nation, OP?

Sorry to be late on the hallucinogenic toad conversation but if you ever find yourself in Lima and are offered the frog drink, just say no. I once met someone travelling who had partaken and he was VERY ill. But what the fuck he expected when he necked a blended cocktail with a live frog dropped into the blender is beyond me.

He spent 3 days throwing up from both ends, whilst i forced immodium down him, claiming he couldn't think what had set him off....then finally said, 'hmm, maybe it was the frog drink?'

WHAT FUCKING RACISM ?????

X-posted. You got it wrong. So very, VERY WRONG.

You're only making yourself look ignorant now.

Are my chickens racist?

I've seen them rip a frog apart

So when are you going to apologise to MNHQ for your ill-founded accusations of racism, OP?

You get deleted for mentioning lizard people too

I've name changed... I couldn't resist!
Sorry... Will go back to my old name now.
But not because it's racist, it's not racist, it's an expression for hopping mad... seriously OP, you're not changing your mind at all on this matter I can see, but to accuse posters of being racist is a serious thing. You are wrong. You are confused. Stop being stubborn.

I am a lizard person.

I Am A Salopian...
