This thread has gone waaaaay off course now although it's been quite amusing. For the record though Soulman, in response to my question all you've done is repeat the old it's just an abbreviation and then thrown in some 'you can't say anything anymore' type stuff. My last word on the subject...

You never answered my question, Do you believe that Paki is not an offensive term to use in the UK?

:lol: :lol: :lol: priceless!!

Liked your chat with the guy from Swaffham, he was a whacky fella! :thumbsup:

edit : just realised your the conspiracy thread guy. Carry on.

Are you seriously denying how the word Paki has been used in this country? I'm not offended by anything thanks. I just know that the word Paki is an offensive term in the UK. Perhaps it will change. That would be nice. But Paki is very different to the term 'coloured'. Again, it's funny that...

Paki was/is an insult in this country. Why are you trying to pretend it isn't?

Well, to be honest I don't think an apology is that ridiculous. As been said by a lot of people on here for example, we're surprised a man his age didn't think it was, at best, an out dated term. If I went somewhere and used a word people weren't comfortable with and they told me so, I'd...

Well, for one thing, I don't think anyone should accuse people of fussing if a word like 'wog' was used in the UK, do you? It only exists as an insult here and to use it would at the very least show a complete lack of respect for other people. From another point of view, I feel any debate about...

that reminds me also of an Australian girl I was friends with. Both her parents were French and white. There was some football match involving Greece on and she commented that 'As a fellow wog I better support Greece' Me : 'As a fellow what?!' Had never heard that word used in that way.

Yeah, I was thinking of the Ozzies who would probably abbreviate the word 'a' if they could. I'm sure it's a perfectly acceptable way to refer to a Pakistani in some countries.

Jesus. Anyone from the UK who thinks Paki is a neat abbreviation is deluded.

not bad, not bad

Firstly, a big part of him being perceived as 'anti-english' was down to that article. It's been brought up in this thread and it's been brought up countless other times on NSC, just one tiny insignificant speck of the community. And it was wrong. The paper that set him up to say something like...

How many times is that rubbish going to be brought up in relation to Andy Murray. Even the Mail admitted they'd wound him up to get him to say something.

doesn't that happen every day you wake up and look in the bathroom mirror? :cool:

That. Was a goal.

Oh it's you. Not taken your angry pills today? Last time I logged on to NSC I opened some thread and the first post I saw was you starting with something along the lines of 'are you thick or something'. How do you get through the day without your head exploding? And nope, not feeling guilty...

ok, but you did post the link so I went and read it, and it seemed a bit at odds with the point you were making. The writer was talking more about people criticising Cumberbatch. Wasn't quite sure why you posted it that's all.

Did you actually read the whole article? Was quite interesting. Ironically you seem to be getting a bit agitated by it yourself. For the record I was born in 1972. Been aware that the term coloured wasn't 'on' for decades. I'm pretty surprised someone of Cumberbatch's generation would use it...
