Yes.

And that is the greatest irony of all.

I have trouble typing long words . . . are you trying to mock me because of my handicap?

. In that case Australians, English and the Czech (among other) should also be the same to you.

Oz, pom, and czech? . . . not long words, furry.

Stay on topic, please. We are speaking of Harby- a lot of you guys are talking about him on this thread. You are ready to assume the worst already. That is my point.

>>> a lot of 'you guys' <<<


... who's that?

Latif defence?

Still does not answer the question tac- why do you lump all Indians, Pakistanis, Lankans under a catch all term? We are not the same.

So, Sachin, did Harbajhan say the word 'monkey' or not?

OK my bad. Now answer the question- how do you know Harby is guilty before he admits it? You made s statement about his being man enough etc.

Latif defence?

blatant mendacity

From Wikipedia...

The term the Indian subcontinent is used also culturally and politically. It includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka, and usually other South Asian countries too. The region has wide geographical variations like desert, plateau, rainforest, mountains and a myriad of languages, races and religions.

Subi is a lot easier to type than Subcontinental.

And I don't see you getting all narky about Poms using the term 'Convicts'.

Have you seen the incident?

subcontinental or more affectionately "subi" refers to the geographic region which you inhabit. It's merely a convenience. Get over it.

Tongana, Fijians, Samoans etc are all included in the term Pacific Islander so the precedent exists.

Who said you where?

I don't particularly like being lumped in with Sozzies.

That could be either Symonds or Harbhajan. It's one's word against the other.

Do people from Europe complain about being called European?

I know but I won't tell.

I repeat, this time for doremi ... did you see the incident, see the way Symonds wheeled around, and Harby immediately tried to settle the issue down?? ... it appeared he knew he had gone too far. Tendulkar came down to make the peace.

Depends who's calling us it, you dial-up spoon-bender.

Apparently not, silly Wozzie.

That's their prerogative.

No, it's common-farkin-sense, you nutjuggler!

Too many assumptions and cognitive biases, lardy.

With respect Zat, that is ridiculous. Do you think that is reason enough? We are a different nationality, we take pride in our individuality. There are radical differences in culture in many cases.

How about a wiki quote on the Caucasian race? Would you all like to be referred as one?

'Whitey' is easier to type than Australian. I don't use it either.

Zat wrote:And I don't see you getting all narky about Poms using the term 'Convicts'.

This is absurd. First, I do not use this term. Second, how am I involved in this argument? Third, do you get 'narky' about it? If so, say it. If not......Since I don't use it I don't know what else to say.

Now, about Harby..
