Osama Bin Laden is chillin in Pakistan.

According to urban dictionary, that only applies to you brits. There's no negative connotation here in the states.

maybe you should be more considerate considering people post here from around the world. it would be very easy to misunderstand what you meant by that.

This is because:
a) they don't make up enough of your country for it to be negative (yet).
b) all middle eastern people are the same to americans anyways, so that covers the ignorance quota

btw it has a negative connotation here, so its not just britain!

Read as "Osama Bin Laden is chillin with Plastician."

this is an international forum so to use that kind of excuse is plain ignorant

i figured you probably didn't know and highlighted it so you don't cause any unintended offence, so there's no need for the smart arse answer

Anyone actually care if theres an old bloke in a Turban hiding from heat seeking missiles in a cave somewhere?

Jiggers need to start worrying about the real issues.

On what planet do you live that heat-seeking missiles target humans? Heat-seeking missiles are used to target other airplanes or missiles, dipshit.

I don't give a fuck.

I watched a program about E-Numbers today.

Did you know the pink used in cakes and shit is made from the blood of a bug farmed in Lanzarote?

Fuck you.

Are any of you pakistani? Do you feel you're being discriminated against? In all fairness, it's pretty silly to be offended like that. All of my east-asian friends use the term themselves. If I really hated the paki people, you'd be able to tell by the content of my posts. Unless an actual pakistani comes out and says he feels discriminated against, there's no reason to be offended.

do you realise how ignorant you're coming across here? noone has said that they're offended and i know you didn't mean it that way but that doesn't change the fact that it is an offensive term. it's as offensive as the n word is in america. maybe it's not seen that way in america (as in europe i believe) but it is here, and the majority of people on this forum are from britain

just accept that it's offensive and don't post it here and stop being an ignorant fuckwit

That was fucking funny.

I just wanna say, that we shouldnt let things like this effect our view of the general Pakistani population, and that we shouldnt forget that they are in need of severe humanitarian aide right now. Though our military dealings with them have been rocky to say the least, dont forget that there are 1,000's of people left with no medical care, food, major systems of transportation, fertile land, ect. due to the recent horrific flooding, and that due to there less-then-westernized system of government, rebuilding has been slow and rocky. Its our job to help these people when there in need, and to eliminate threats to there freedom and security, but not blur the lines between the two.

[nowaysj]

the majority of people on this forum are from britain

Is this true?

Badger, seems like you are lacking the cultural sensitivity you are requesting.

[badger]

just look at the events forum

4 for the UK
1 for europe
2 for US
1 for africa/aus/generally the east

where would you say that leaves the most of the posters from? certainly the country with the most posters is the UK if not the majority in terms of percentages of UK vs everyone else
