On my way to work I walk past the Merrion Centre which includes the shop Comic Ville. They sell the most absurd things e.g. willy straws and skeletons, WTF is going on there?
Here is a picture I took of the shop
Chav is a derogatory slang term currently in popular usage throughout England. It refers to a subculture negatively-stereotyped as being uneducated, uncultured and prone to antisocial or immoral behavior. The label is typically (although not exclusively) applied to teenagers and young adults of white working class or lower-middle class origin. A male chav is sometimes referred to as a chavster and a female as a chavette, although chav is typically used to refer to both sexes.
"I still think it's morally wrong. Chavs are human too y'know!"
That's pretty rich coming from you especially the fact that you allow words like "Paki" instead of Pakistani on your website. Are Pakistani not humans? Once again it is quite sad that people get a kick out of saying paki.
People have worked hard through the 70's 80's and 90's to try and stop abusive language. You've done well to allow it back in.
I don't think there's anything wrong with using the word Paki instead of Pakistani and I never will.
From your comment it seems once you call someone a Paki they are no longer human, what's that about?
I, as a Paki myself, do not find it offensive or derogative if I was called one. It's people like you who make a big deal out of it and cause unnecessary attention.
As for abusive language, it has never stopped so I didn't have to do much "to allow it back in".
Babu bhai!!! a paki can call themselves n others pakis, its when sumone else hu aint a paki calls u one that u jump em :D .
bout the whole chav business, well yep humans but erm according to the definition, shitty ones so ionno, kill em and purify the human race!!! lol nah i seem to be echoing hitler, il stop.

only you could tap it twice maham, only you... ;-)
piniyini I don't think I have to explain myself but in your post about Chavs you put
"Not that this affects me or anything but I still think it's morally wrong. Chavs are human too y'know!"
Since you have morals then why is it not morally wrong to call people Paki's.
And maham, I do enjoy giving muqabala lectures. Do you want one ?
Paki is a fine word provided it is not said with aggression.
lol
maham, babu, piniyini,
lads, the truth remains the word 'paki' was derived to be negative and put the person down. like you guys have said its when someone other than a pakistani calls you a 'paki' do you get offended and this is true in my case aswell.
Lets look at africans. they call each 'nigga' all the time and if someone else called them this its offensive, racist and degrading. this is same as us. the word 'nigga' been, has and will always be used to degrade the black people. but the black people, after having talked to them, admit they only use the word to 'piss off' the white people, their theory is that if you call yourself nigga then nobody will call you it becuase it losses the meaning. now you see even white men call themselves and each other nigga.
basically it is offensive and i find it offensive if say an Indian called me a paki.
my two cents for today...
babu...i know you like a mugabala but put away your thora!!!
In America, "Paki" is not a bad word. Perhaps, Babu, in a different era or culture the word meant something bad. Maybe something happened to you personally with this word. I don't know, but these days, it's not even known as derogatory.
Now, don't you have something better do than search the web so you can insult a teenager on his personal blog. I mean, if you don't like what he says DON'T READ IT!

Thats the post that annoyed you Babu isnt it? I believe that post is quite funny and that was the reason I put it up, not to degrade Pakis in anyway.
I feel I've explained myself about the word Paki in my earlier post, so I wont there again.
the daddy - I wouldnt find it offensive if an indian called me one because we refer to each other as gujji and pakis. No party is offended as we both know we're using it as slang.
Sobia, I think its much better if people voice thier opinions about the site whether positive or negative.
Thanks guys
that is really weird!!!
if only you had told me about this when i was a teen !!
Sobia
get a life, obviously typical american arogant person. It might not be bad in america but in my country when a gora looks at an asian and says 'paki' he means it in a derogatry way. Have you ever been called a paki in a negative way...i dont think and thats why you say it.
go and hold your countries flag and moan about the racial divide that still exists in the so called democratic free country.
the word paki was invented to put down the pakistani's, and it is still used in the same way.
Piniyini
i see where you coming from but i didnt mean it that way, i have indian friends who call me paki and i call them guji but its not them that im talking about. im talking about the hindus/sikhs and the way they use the work
bye bye for now
Sobia, America a democtratic free country? Ha! tell that to the people in New Orleans or was it because they were black. Oh and I nearly forgot to put down
"I mean, if you don't like what it says DON'T READ IT!". Well it looks like you certainly have....!
chavs! oh how we flipping hate chavs, well i do. i personally love ripping the piss out of those pathetic tossers. espcially getting disgusted at the older lots, still wearing "trackie bottoms" and shite footy shirts, smoking in front of children/little shites etc, swearing in front of them too. disgusting. be better is they are all swept away, total let down for society. one question, why do these retarded blokes, stand around with their hands down their pants, scratching away, sad losers! they stand on street corners like rent boys, hands under their boxers (which are hanging out like stupid black retards in USA). how sad can you get! get a life u bunch of useless brainless fools. girls too. well lets not go there and mention the disgraceful-ness of english chav slappers, well english girls through and through. morals dont exist. lets have out thongs on babes, and let our fat arses hang out, i know we aint got any shape and do not resemble women but we;re chavs so rock on! wanna be sick? i do! minging slags! feel free to email me and rant, i will be glad to rant back! paki chavs? ha, i just remembered, young paki lads! ahhahahahahaha and young paki chav girls, thinking they are some god with all rights in the world! hate england but live here! ship em all to the moon, chavs included! all of u...scum!
wellll, i hav always loved chavs! think about it, when you see a chav, do you get jealous and depressed????? NO!!! I just think 'hahaha!!! im SO glad im not like that! it makes me feel rly gud about being me!!! I also enjoy winding up chavs, by talking their homebois speak, innit, etc... that may explain why chavs keep 'starting on me' and i seem to have an awful lot of 'beef' with them... hehehe what rly irritates me though is the whole 'people who try to be chavs cos they thoink its cool'. those are the pewople we shud get rid of, and i vote that we start off by lining up all the chavs and chavettes, and offering them a chance. speak proper english, dress properly, or die! hehe. what the best thing to comne out of chavs is... mini chavs! they all thinhk they are hard, but evry1 just laughs at them!!! wow this is such a great place! i love this blog! lol
what is the most confusing day of the year for a chav?
Fathers day!

Yeah they work hard and everything but its every single shop! but i hate everything about the chav and wanna kill them all, wanna start up a army? lol
