its... it's.. cultural differences, not stupidity!

yeah and thats a mighty funny cultural difference. it would have been even funnier if the dude in teh ricksha got hurt.

But you shouldn't blame him or mock him for it because he was coming from a different culture. :roll:


i dont equate the two...so find something else to use as a hyperbole

Just don't say that he's stupid or laugh at what he did.

why would anyone laugh at something that could have hurt someone? :confused:

BEST_THREAD_EVER!!!! :laugh:

It's classic...totally innocent, yet completely boneheaded all at the same time!!

I'd buy your roommate a beer! :beer:

Now, if next week, he builds a campfire in the middle of the living room and says "Where's the hole in the roof to let the smoke out?" then you need to beat his ass.

But right now, he's #1 in my book! :D
*edit*
Additionally, I don't think the OP is being racist, mean or insensitive at all. It's all in how you say things.

He didn't say "My stupid Indian roommate" or something dumb like that. He merely pointed out the fact the dude is Indian...I guess maybe back there the homes DO have drains in teh bathrooms. Hell, the bathrooms at WORK all have drains in the floor. When I build my house, I will have drains in the bathrooms!

No more worries about overflowing toilets destroying the house, etc.

Now I really didn't know what the fvck he was talking about. Took me a few minutes to get him to describe what he needed. But before I get into that, a bit of backstory: I come home, the floor in the bathroom is soaking wet, and my roommate has a sheepish grin on his face.

Roommate: "Where is the hole in the floor?"
Me: :confused:--"What hole?"

"The drainhole"

:confused:--"What drainhole?"

"There should be a drainhole to let the water out"

"Uhh, no, there shouldn't be."

"Well then how do you clean?"

"With a broom or a mop. I have a Swisher Wet Jet"

"A what?"

"Nevermind. What happened here?"

"Well, I saw that you cleaned the bathroom [I cleaned the shower, toilet, sink earlier] so I thought I'd help by cleaning the floor. But when I dumped the pail of water I noticed it wasn't draining anywhere."

"You dumped what?"

"I dumped water to wash everything down the drain and realized there was no drain. No worries, I will mop it up."

Of course, my last question was, "did you use the bucket on top of the toilet to dump the water?" :shocked: But he told me he used a bigger one--that one is too small.

Lesson #147 for my roommate: While floors in India have drains, most floors in America do not.

roomate: where's the floor drain?
you: what floor drain?
him: you know the floor drain, to drain the water out?
you: ok where is the semen stain?
him: there.
you: mop it up.

I'm not Indian, but if my dad or grandpa tried to tell me about his anus I think I would have to shoot myself.

A 100% clean anus at the price of a 100% poopy hand... hmmm...

Actually, I'm not Indian. I'm American. You've now further 'pigeon-holed' yourself as a redneck.

I'm not the one who has stated numerous times that they were Indian -- that would be you. Don't try to twist words into an ad-hominem as a way of dodging a salient point.

You are born and raised in (?) Alabama.

Was I? I've never said one way or the other.


Can I also assume that you do not bathe (no running water) and you are inbred?

Sure, it doesn't bother me.


There's also pigeonholing due to complete and utter stupidity.

I never pigeonholed anyone until deciding to insult you. I stated that Inspector Jihad was being fairly silly about his chose name.


Indians largely have nothing to do with 'Jihad' and the like.

Never once did I say they did. You cannot read, so I'd think a remedial class is in order.


They have about as much to do with that as Europeans.

Total red herring. I never stated that Indians had anything to do with Islam, but that people *make* that mistake. I didn't make the mistake -- I said people do. Taking a fact and twisting it into something I said it just typical style for you. Basically why everyone in P&N thinks you are incapable of rational discussion.


Your argument may make some sense if the person in question was actually Arab.

It makes sense in the way I presented it. Continue to ignore Sully's explanation or my own since it doesn't fit your agenda. You like being intellectually dishonest, so I'm not shocked.


However, you wish to have everyone reduce themselves down to your own level of stupidity.

I do? No, just you -- since you haven't been able to comprehend what I wrote yet, even thought many others have. Your fault; not mine.


This person should have no worry about having his culture or people 'pigeonholed' as some sort of Jihadist, just like any European should not.

They shouldn't? So denying reality of what happens in society makes things go away? Wow, just wow. Keep living in idealism.

Then he would not be pigeonholing Indians whatsoever.

I see you still haven't comprehended what I said have you?

Rednecks can freely exist in a 'large' urban city.

In your opinion, and that pejorative term is again an opinion, but since you like to use a racial slur while the rest of use proper nouns, I can see how truly racist you are. No one here has used a pejorative for Indians or Arabs, yet somehow since you don't have a cogent argument you feel that's the only way you can win. So juvenile, yet so predictable.

Please, the local 'watering hole' is not adequate bathing.

I wouldn't know; I don't bathe in nasty rivers or free-standing bodies of water. I use water that has been purified and deemed safe and healthy.

and for the love of all, please don't have sexual relations with your sister.

I don't have a sister, and if I did I'd not be attracted one iota to her. Honestly, that's the funny thing here -- I laugh off your racial comments, but the ones I made actually hurt your feelings. You probably went and had to cry on your Buddy's shoulder. Oh, and does anyone else find it funny that you two always jerk each other off in the same thread? Always. You can't find a thread in P&N or OT where you two aren't jerking each other off and patting each other on the back. Sheesh, at least learn to disagree from time to time. It is healthy.

Stereotyping is fun, isn't it? One day when you get a clue, you will realize that there is stereotyping because someone is ignorant, and then stereotyping to be a jerk. If Inspector Jihad doesn't want to fall prey to ignorance, then it would be a good idea to not pigeon-hole himself. I didn't pigeon-hole myself, but since your logic is always milquetoast at best, I'm not shocked that you missed the entire point of what I said, and then what sully summed up.


I really don't expect you to understand this due to the great genetic defects in your inbred self.

I'm not inbred, but I can certainly smell you from over here. More than one bath a week is necessary.


However, Inspector Jihad may be pigeonholing HIMSELF (just as anyone with that sort of name, regardless of background, would be doing)

He was, and as Indians always complain (especially Sikhs) of being compared to Arabs it was pigeon-holing himself as a muslim -- even when he was not. The fact that many other people in this therad understand my point, and the fact that you are too dense to doesn't release you from having to debate it instead of a massive strawman that you built. Either discuss what I actually said, or admit you are just here trolling like usual.


but not really the Indian people or culture...just as you are pigeonholing yourself as some sort of redneck hick with any reference to AL in your profile.

There are plenty of posters that have AL listed in the profile that are not from Alabama. However, I don't care what you think. I'm not a redneck hick, but you are smelly, and you do need to learn proper hygiene.

Please ask your sister/mother (you see, it's the same thing in AL) for some guidance if you don't understand.

Stop answering my help desk calls with a fake American name, and I'll be more than happy to ask my mother for guidance.


I can continue on with this all you like. You cannot make a single race-based comment that will offend me, but I can easily offend you. Sucks, doesn't it?

Well I didn't expect that. Why apologize? The pansies need to get used to being offended so they can deal with it throughout their lives and by deal with it I mean something other than being a fvckwad tattletale.

I wasn't aware that you and I had a conversation... not that I would really take anything by you seriously or be offended by what anyone said on this forum. Don't include me in your and RM's stupid conversation. I know that you dream of me and RM having relations together, but I truly dream only of you (actually to be honest, I'd like to include an ostrich in our relationship).

This was happening in my apartment years ago and I went up to find some older eastern european ladies doing laundry or something in the bathtub. It was partly the fault of the apartment complex since water shouldn't have leaked if all the water was kept in the tub.
