Shame about the innocent drivers that got taken out. Sad to see the Eifelblitz getting taken out so early.

I just don't see the point of not being able to join during the Practise or Qualifying, but i guess it has something to with the way AC works. As far as i noticed every car has to be loaded prior to getting on the track.

Only way that the booking system makes sense to me. Had some good race with X-Bow, was pretty enjoyable hate shifting that thing with other players.

Quote from amp88 :I'm honestly struggling to understand your position

Well i am not the kind that uses interpretive dance to get his point across, so maybe you need a different partner for your conversation.

Quote from amp88 :and I simply can't understand it.

Lemme quote the definition of racism from wikipedia

"Racism is actions, practices or beliefs, or social or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities"

If you treat every ethnic group with similar hate or in this case do similar jokes, then you are by definition not racist.
Nothing really difficult to understand as it would seem.

Quote from amp88 :I wouldn't be allowed to appear on German public television in a mock Nazi uniform with the Horst-Wessel-Song as background music and say that I thought Hitler was on to something and that he was a great guy who never really did anything bad. That's the sort of censorship that makes sense when you're on free-to-air public broadcast TV.

Thats because it is against the law to do so due to our history and even despite that there have been serveral programmes or shows that made fun of that bit of german history.

The only thing i would agree is that you have every right to protest against having a certain show or person on the TV, however silencing what a person is going to say is unquestionably wrong.
Censoring is evil by default and will never do society any good.

Quote from amp88 :I just have a fundamental issue with the notion that by insulting everyone (whether it's on the basis of race, nationality, gender etc) you're not being offensive. It's just so totally illogical.

I didn't say that it wasn't offensive, i only said it wasn't racist wether it is offensive or not wasn't part of my argument.

The western society we live in values "free speech" very greatly and rightfully so. But that doesn't mean that people will use this for good and a lot of times they might say things that offend or disgust you.
However "free speech" is much more important than people that are offended, they have every right to be offended but you won't silence those offensive remarks (in a public place).
Only exception would be direct insults towards people(german law).

You may remember this sentence:

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" ~Voltaire

Quote from amp88 :By definition, if you make fun of everyone you're being offensive to everyone. If I gathered one person of each race/nationality/sex etc in a room and insulted each of them in turn would that not be offensive?

The topic we were discussing was racism and if you are offending everyone then you are clearly not a racist.

If you want to be butthurt and be offended, then be offended nobody cares about that.

Quote from Intrepid :Yes, if he didn't make the racist joke because it was racist that would be racist.

You misunderstood me there. TopGear is known for making jokes about serveral people, countries and ethnic groups (german is an ethnic group), so if you force the TG crew to not make jokes about certain ethnic groups then you are trying to exclude them solely based on their race.

Which would make you by definition a racist, as you are implying that their ability to deal with humour is inferior to those of other ethnic groups.

Quote from Intrepid :.... and pikey isn't a racist term blah blah blah blah it's fairly obvious what Clarkson was doing. No comment is 'accidental' especially one about a slope on a bridge.

He didn't say there were 2 slopes on the bridge.

And if it was a racist joke, wouldn't it be also racism if he didn't make it.

Ontopic: Are there any outakes like they usually did in the last series? Would love to see some more scenes from the special.

Quote from Intrepid :I do love the bask in hypocrisy.

Filling this whole thread with garbage yet again and then claiming hypocrisy when people get annoyed. Flawless logic there.

Quote from Intrepid :You may or may not know but the BBC is funded via a licence fee which is mandatory for all UK TV viewers. You simply can't just 'turn over'. The BBC is in effect a publicly owned organisation. So it is stupid to say 'turn over' when you are being forced to fund it. Whether you agree with the concept or not you have a perfect right to moan about it.

Since TopGear is quite a sucess pretty much around the world, it would be false to claim that you are actively funding it. It may be part of the BBC but their show is making the BBC a profit.

So yes it is pretty easy just to turn over as there is enough other stuff on the telly to watch.

Quote from Intrepid :... and to be honest I have no idea what to reply to that bolded part I really don't.

We have already established that you despise everyone that has a different oppinion or attitude towards this. Maybe one day you will realize that the jokes the TG crew does are only jokes and they do have quite a lot compassion for the people around themselves, but that would probably require an open mind.

Quote from amp88 :What if Top Gear said "There's a fatty on it" .

Thats why we watch TopGear, because of the immature fun stuff they put out. The whole show is bloody build around it and racist jokes are part of it.

How about you watch something else as evidently you don't like it.
People have invented the remote for a reason.

Quote from ColeusRattus :due to it's quite long half-life is very problematic to store.

I once saw a documentary about one of those "final storages", inside an old salt mine. And the information designers there were quite unironically pondering the question how to communicate the dangers to potential far future finders/archeologists.

If you take into account the cost of storage over thousands of years, the price advantage wouldn't be one anymore.

Quote from tristancliffe :Top Gear has been like this since 2002. It's not meant to be informative or serious. It's meant to be people messing about in cars.

P1 section amazing. Clarkson looked genuinely terrified by the speed at times. I want one.

+1 although id like them all to be together. May it be scripted, but the atmosphere among them is always quite nice to watch.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :Hey pipa, what software are you using to make gifs? I've tried several but never turned out fine. And I have some replays waiting for some gif action.

I fraps the bit and then i put in virtualdub. Just select filter-> resize and then export to .gif.

It helps to keep the filesize down when the camera is standing still and only the car is moving.
