Multi-culture crash

[scooter49]

And had you read my statement; words are just words. It's the context in how they are used that makes them bad.

I did read your statement, but I think this says it all.....

Acroplex...
do you support the US and its fight against global terrorism, or do you support the Pakis?



Once again...
If everyone would just be mindful and respectful of the fact that there are different cultures, languages, and religions on this forum, problem solved.

My statement is my statement and my opinion.

It is not to be used as fodder to full and inflame a point. It is not to be directed at any one person or entity.

No point in quoting me. If someone is at all interested in what I have to say all they have to do is read it.

I'd rather read someone else's words.

We could start by not putting pro American racist posts.

Scooter, you called the post racist. Perhaps "Paki" is a racist term, I don't use it myself. I've only really heard it said in Canada. But why did you also call it "pro American"? What did you mean by that? I'm guessing you've got a little culture bias in you as well.

I honestly do not see anything wrong with calling folks from Pakistan Pakis, just as one would call folks from Florida..Floridians....anyone here from Pakistan offended by this?

All my British friends since the mid 80's call the Pakistani immigrants that run stores and restaurants, "Pakis". I think scooter is riding in the wrong lane; remember outside of the UK one should drive on the right side of the road.

This thread would have been a nice conversation piece, if only scooter hadn't misquoted my post from another thread to fit his argument.

By the way I am eating pork right now.

It's not a nice word. I don't think it ranks with that REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad word (not even sure if we can call it the "N" word anymore, I think it's just "the word that must never be thought or spoken"). But it's probably up there with Jap or Pollock or Jew in some situations.

Now I do stand against that. Think of all the Jewish and Muslims you are offending right now. :lol:

Actually pigs are very clean animals. They just eat whatever they are being fed.

On another note, it's 4am in the UK and scooter is going strong. I have to give him that

What is that they eat? Horseshit like what we are eating now?

lol - see, all multi-cultural differences are solved with a stupid joke. So who is going to start?

Oh well, here I go:

Before the inauguration, George W. Bush was invited to a 'get acquainted' tour of the White House.

After drinking several glasses of iced tea, he asked President Clinton if he could use his personal bathroom. He was astonished to see that the President had a solid gold urinal!

That afternoon, George W. Bush told his wife, Laura, about the urinal. "Just think," he said, "when I am President, I'll have my own personal gold urinal!"

Later, when Laura had lunch with Hillary at her tour of the White House, she told Hillary how impressed George had been with his discovery of the fact that, in the President's private bathroom, the President had a gold urinal.

That evening, Bill and Hillary were getting ready for bed. Hillary turned to Bill and said, "Well, I found out who peed in your saxophone."

Scooter already started the jokes:

What does one in Florida call a person of black origin or hispanic?

I've come up with 7 seperate punch-lines so far.

You have to remember the "Brits" have a much drier sense of humor.

That post is neither Pro-American nor racist. What Acro wrote is the truth.

"paki" not racist :?:

So how do you think to improve the understanding of multi-cultural communication?[/QUOTE]

It is very sad. Instead of saying OK we will not use the term as it is offensive to some on this forum, here we have people taking a stance.



I tell you what, you say Paki and i'll throw in a couple myself.... how about nigger, kraut and slant eyes.

Did I offend someone? I'm sorry. Get over it, as it is not offensive elsewhere.


Over and out........

You have some serious issues, scooter. Look out, the sky is falling.

Libby, you still here? I believe you just broke laws in the UK posting what you did. Better watch out the Bobbies might be after a Scallywag like you.
