ironman #68 you mean you never heard of Channa (a Pakistani)? He was the tallest man in the world (per Guiness) when he was around. I got a nephew at 6 foot 5 inch who calls his 6 foot 1 inch dad, my brother, ``shorty``. I am, alas, a mere 5 foot 9 inch but tough (or so I like to think) (and unlike that chirri-chested bollywood hero who thinks he is Arnold Schwazzengger and takes his shirt off at every chance).

Anyway, I am all for short people. (with the exception of that madrasi jay thakeray, who i am sure is 3 foot 5 inch tall and weighs 50 pounds and takes his frustrations out by cursing at us poor pakis on chowk).

hrrehman #47,

``As for the pakis...I`m yet to see even a 6-footer paki in the US.``
``Are you serious, naaaa you can`t be.....``

Dead serious sir. In the last 7 years in the US, haven`t seen one 6-footer pakistani. In toronto during an interview there was a young pakistani sitting with me who was about 6-foot I guess. He seemed shocked to see an Indian towering over him. Kinda went quiet.

- - - -

``Why don`t you ask your actresses who say ``now I know where all the good looking men
in South Asia live`` Come over to Pakistan to see how ugly you Indians really are.
The biggest insult to a Pakistani is when someone asks him if he is an ``Indian``.``

Now its my turn to ask...are you serious?

Fifty years ago your grandpappy was what...(gasp, choke..)...an Indian ?!!

C`mon Mr. rehman...most of the semi-decent looking pakis are panjabis/sindhis...and we have **60 million** of them. (You didn`t know that did you? 60 million is about half your population. Time to update your database!)

wahrheit,
there is no point in having a conversation with someone as classless as you are.

no country can outclass bharat matha, much less Pakistan...actually the only country that can outclass bharat matha aka drawidia is she herself...bharat matha outclasses herself time and time again in poverty in ugliness in moaning in breeding in farting in wailing...bharat matha is the all-time cheapest sl*ut... has always been conquered, ruled and raped by every tom, dick and harry... and her all time favourite master is dick of course.

khota pundit #62.

... i will make it simple for your comprehension.

1. jang is an indian making fun of your cricketers.
2. you took the hook, line and sinker and came back with a rebuttal to prove superiority of indian athletes compared to pakistani athletes and posted stats from asian and commonwealth games.
3. i proved that jang is indian and provided medals tally of cuba which is miniscule in size and population compared to both pakistan and india.
4.the final point is it is not the size that matters nor the accumulation of medals that make one superior or better.
...and finally a small question....do you have a small penis?

re:#42 by Lord_Dirtier
Cricket is the only field Pak can ever hope to outclass India. Even here, i am afraid it is going to be very difficult for Pak this time around. This is a superb Indian team ever assembled. I think they are going to whip the Paki A$$.

wahrheit,
perhaps you should ask those who have been insulted just how seriously it should be taken. such words have been used maliciously for years. . .it wasn`t just nations they insulted, it was people. i know that i would not want to be called a paki or if i was japanese to be called a jap. neither would my japanese friends. it`s all about respecting yourself and those around you. oh well. . .not much of that happens in chowk anyways, so what`s the point?

#58 nooralain:

but the fact still remains that historically, paki was used as offensive british slang to insult pakistanis and indians and bangladeshis.

not quite true...the brits often use/used short forms to insult some nations...such as japs of japanese, germs of germans and pakis of pakistanis...but it should not be taken seriously...indians are normally insulted by calling a stinky drawidian niga`.... sad but true...

*caught in the crossfire of stones. . .aaaaaaaieeeee*

arjun,
i don`t doubt that they did that. if you google the word paki, you`ll see a whole lot of stuff on paki pride, paki pop, paki this and that. but the fact still remains that historically, paki was used as offensive british slang to insult pakistanis and indians and bangladeshis. the older generations in bradford or birmingham could probably tell you that as well. dunno if you saw `bend it like beckham` but jess gets called a `paki` by someone on the opposing side and she reacts violently and gets the red card.

there is such a phenomenon, sociological or psychological, that has to do with taking a racial slur, and making it your own badge of pride. . .like some african-americans have done with the N-word. it still doesn`t change the fact that it`s historically a slur and that it still hurts a lot of people to hear that. i don`t know if that`s the case here with the word paki, but anyway. . .i know you won`t stop using it. : )

#57. .hrrehman. .
i am a pakistani and am asked if i`m indian a lot, by goras and indians, and i`m not insulted in the least bit. i think you should get your facts straight. . .wait they`re not facts, they`re insults.

and i`ve also seen some really good looking indian men. . .arjun is one of them. khair jab dil maili ho, tau chehra bhi maila hi hota hai. : )
