Actually no, I'll add a third analogy. It's like a party where you have your family round (no VGChartz), but you notice that the black man your cousin recently married came too.

It would be like going up to him and asking him to leave because you think he doesn't deserve to be there as much as the rest of the family. Even if you offer to pay his taxi fare, it doesn't justify asking him to leave whatsoever.

ahh well now your analogy is flawed because if i had family round and no (Vg members) then my house would no longer be full therefore I wouldn't ask anyone to leave.

Ok, what if your family is really large. What if your house was full of family members? Would you ask the black person to leave because he is black?

My analogy wasn't flawed, you tried to make it look flawed.

Your analogy used two groups of people and it was pretty clear who they represented (Family = British people: VGchartz = immigrants). You wouldn't be asking the immigrants to leave, you would be asking a member of your own family (the British) to leave based on their lineage.

My analogy suits up to what Griffin is proposing, he doesn't want the immigrants to leave in this case, he's asking British people (the family) to leave.

The thing is I didnt try too at all I picked that up in seconds, and hours later you come back "trying to fix your analogy"  Yes I can see what your saying but I don't know why you keep bringing "black" people into this when it's pointed at many races, infact any race that isnt British, So drop the colour card for a minute please.

Yes he has asked in General, Its up to the people weather they listen to him or not, if they wanted to they could completly ignore it (even though I know its hard to ignore a dam ignorant coment like that) actually who knows, I bet there will be a few cases where people would snatch his hand off for the money.

can you do me a favour please, can you post a link on my page of the actual context it was said in, Because without reading it and just using common sense I don't think it would count to people like say if my grandad was German, I don't think the "offering me money to go back home rule would apply" which is what I can see some people saying on here and blowing out of proportion.
