Right, how the fuck do you wet shave the back of your own head with cutting yourself to shit?

I shaved my head with a Gillette blade 2 days ago and I happen to be wearing a Londsale zip up, right now!
Don't put words in my mouth, please. I never said all people with shaved heads who wear Lonsdale are racists, I don't know where you got that from. It's just that in the Netherlands at least (don't know about the UK), some racist males shave their head and start wearing Lonsdale. It's not a racist brand at all, and the brand hates being associated with racists, but skinhead youth often wear it anyway. I've heard that it's because if you wear, say, a tracksuit over a Lonsdale shirt and you leave it open so it covers some of the shirt, it shows "NSDA" which is almost "NSDAP", the name of the German Nazi party in WW2.
EDIT: to illustrate what I mean, my housemate had Lonsdale clothing tags hanging out of his window facing the street as a sign that there lived a skinhead there, to meet other skinheads. So it's definitely a thing with racist skinheads. But of course the majority of Lonsdale wearers (or people who shave their heads) aren't racists, I don't know why that even needs to be said, should be obvious.

Dude! I never said you said I was racist! I was just telling you the truth because it was a really funny coincidence!! I know exactly what you mean by Lonsdale wearing skinhead racists. We have them here in the UK too and I'm well aware of the stereotype. This Lonsdale top is purely for training and it's the only only Lonsdale thing I own (apart from some boxing trainers, but Lonsdale is a boxing brand I got them for Savate so...). I'm only wearing now because it's a bit cold!

First time? With great, great care. And you still end up red-raw. You get used to the pressure you need and it stops being a problem. I cut my chin much more often than my head when shaving. I use a handheld mirror to do the back but that's about not missing bits and not nothing to do with not cutting. Don't ever let your girlfriend shave your head. That way leads to a multicut bloodhead.

Dethtoll, it's not that I don't believe you are sincere, it's just that your trigger for applying those filters is set to about the sensitivity of bat call monitors. You do realise that the moment you (and CCC) tag FG as relying on racism, sexism etc.. you are insulting me by assuming that this is why I like it, don't you? It's the fact that you refuse to accept that there is any satire or irony angle, because your perfectly valid, perfectly sincere moral outrage is set to go off at the slightest provocation. You need to have a real think about whether or not your threshold for these concerns is set wrong, or else assume that you are the ideal and everyone else seems comparatively more prejudiced because they are. Then at least understand that the latter conclusion is what rubs people up the wrong way. You're still awesome, I still think you're great - it's just that one thing which (repeatedly) ends up causing a stir.

Sorry SubJeff, my post was overly confrontational, there was no need for it. Apologies. I was just about to change it into something else actually, but you already saw my awful post so that's too late now. Won't happen again.

What? If someone* says in his opinion THE SHOW is racist etc. it's HIS interpretation of the show, not necessarily of the people who watch it (who might have entirely different view, it's just innocent fun or whatever).
If someone says "people who watch this show must enjoy racism & sexism", that's a whole different matter.
* Speaking in general, don't have time to re-read the whole thread atm to check what exactly was said and what wasn't.

No, we're being told that the humour relies on racism, sexism etc.. and then being provided with links as to why that is fact. If all this boiled down to was "my opinion is..." then the discussion would have ended pages ago.
(It really is best to just read the thread)

:rolleyes:glad that was cleared up, i thought this was about eating heath bars while watching a FG episode involving skinheads wearing sweats.........

Ah, right, faetal, I read too quickly.
(And no, I don't think I'll bother with the whole thread, better just stop commenting ;) )

(Which is a wise tactic many people end up resorting to when the debate involves dethtoll. The guy's logic is so rooted in his lack of comprehension beyond the surface of what others write as well as his unwillingness to accept anything more nuanced than manichaeism, that any point he might have is guaranteed to turn into a loud, holy war of right against wrong. Full of ad-hominems and biased moral standards.)
