Rodchester Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 DRU (and others) 1) "Paki" is a racial slur. Well onl;y in certain parts of Canada, not in the US or in Pakistan. I work with a Pakistani here in my office everyday and according to him and other Pakistanis I have met, it is not a racial slur (again except in Canada). But in all honesty, I shouldn't use it here since sooo many Canucks are on this site. So I do apologize to those Canadians that felt it was a racial slur. It wwasn't meant that way. Thanks for pointing it out Dru. 2) "hope you don't STOP lobbing nukes??" Now god damn I suck...I meant "start" not STOP!!! Sorry all, tail between my legs. Quote

Thanks for pointing it out Dru. Actually not used much in Canada* but much more prevalent, and considered more insulting, in Britain. * Just out of interest the local rednecks, in a case of erroneous insultery, seem to think that the proper term for either a Sikh or Muslim is "Hindu". I have no idea why. Quote

Dave_Schuldt Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 Good to see people from overseas, how did you find this site? Quote
Rodchester Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 Cool!! a couple of friends of mine are trekking inot the Karakorum as I type. They are going to take a shot at climbing K2. They have a friend there, I think Islamabad, named Nazir Sabir. he did Everest with them a couple of years ago. He is well know amoing the Paki climbing community. Do you know him? I hope you guys don't "start" lobbing nukes any time soon...or ever. Welcome to the site. Some people "spray" too much, but for the most part it is good natured fun and there are a lot of really good people here. If you make it to the USA look us up.

Rod, 1) "Paki" is a racial slur. 2) "hope you don't STOP lobbing nukes??" I met Nazir last year at the VIMFF. He struck me as a really nice guy. Quote
JoshK Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Hmm...interesting considering the hindu and muslim religions have somewhat of an...unfriendly...outlook towards each other. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Probably because racist rednecks are complete idiots. How's that for a timely response? Only, what, seven months? Quote
