It's chauvinists, and you can't avoid them - they're everywhere.\nJust like people who can't be bothered to use a dictionary for big words.

There's a certain amount of that in white Australian culture as well, though perhaps not so much. I think it's more common among those with more money and comes from the British higher classes - i.e. dukes and whatnot felt the need to maintain their status as 'higher' than the other classes they had power over. I laugh to see it in today's society, because most of us are not leaders and have no need to feed our status by showing the world how together we are. Added to that, Western culture has moved on, and trying to prove we're not human doesn't gain us credibility anymore. As a white Aussie, I've been exposed to the attitude you speak of within my family and I don't subscribe to it as a way of life. It's self-destructive and stupid... though I don't recommend telling everyone your deep dark secrets and crying about it all the time, either!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n(Redirected from Chavs)\nJump to: navigation, search\nLook up chav and charva in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.Chav is a slang term which has been in wide use throughout the United Kingdom since 2004. It refers to a subcultural stereotype of a person with fashions such as flashy "bling" jewellery and counterfeit designer clothes or sportswear, an uneducated, uncultured, impoverished background, a tendency to congregate around places such as fast-food outlets, bus stops, or other shopping areas, and a culture of antisocial behavior.\n\nResponse to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that it is a new manifestation of classism.

...The English language Lexicons and Dictionaries will no longer classify you as 'chaste', and you will wind-up being CHASED by every male who gets to know about your very latest new classification !\n...You will also be constantly harassed and regularly pursued by a few very reverend preachers - each one of whom will eloquently insist that they alone can physically drive out the Devil who must have possessed your beautiful brown body ! If you give in to their persuations, their 'cure' might even be worse than your current plight...\n...That's what happens, dear !

All excellent points - and the simple truth is that people **DO** afford criminals more rights than victims. It isn't politically correct to do otherwise.\n\nHowever in the US, a very interesting project has been set up. In short although people cannot be FORCED to submit to corporal punishment - some criminals can VOLUNTEER to be treated in that way under some conditions - and perhaps get reduced jail time in return.\n\nLots of details here http://www.okplus.com/fedup/index.html \n\nVery interestingly, they presently have a ZERO recidivism level for people that have been through their system.\n\nDo not be thrown by the site, the program is still running BUT the website is badly in need of some updating (or was when I last looked)\n\nI think one hangup people have about corporal punishment, is the perceived severity of it. The old UK / USA way of flogging across the back in fact left little more than "shaving nicks" - if it cut at all.\n\nAnyone who has seen too many "Mutiny on the bounty" style films and wishes to disagree should try to remember that the make-up department tends to get more than a little carried away.\n\nWet rope is not sharp enough or dense enough to "lay a mans back open to the bone" Something does not need to cut to be felt ;)\n\nThe scheme mentioned above in fact uses low-voltage cable as a cheap disposable lash material. Like the rope, little or no cutting at all - but apparently the welts are quite tender at the time.\n\nI just wish we had a system like this in the UK too, I think it could be a valuable tool to help people stay out of prison and to reduce the prison population. Nanny-state in the UK though at the moment so not much chance for a while yet.

I think the Britain of Churchill's era was pretty great.  What I don't understand is how the brave and amazing people of the UK can roll over and let themselves be trampled by political correctness and blatantly hostile cultures taking root in their very midst.  I love my cousins across the pond, but I fear for your future.

no not paranoid its a fact of life in this country now liberal wankers running the country.human rights my ass.the only solution is government change.i don't mean Tories remember the 80,s UK Independence a joke. only one way  and although might seem extreme is to vote for the only party that will restore law and order put a stop to the immigration shambles.and make are streets safe again.which party am i talking about well work it out.its up to you live as we do with terrorists running free,people born in Britain trying to kill us.pensioners who fought in the war who cant even afford too pay there heating bills.the rights of criminals and peodos put first.if you want these things changed you have to use your vote wisely or alternatively vote for one of the main stream parties and watch as the life's of your children get an  even worse deal than we get now.

Please ignore some of the tosh people have written as supposed advice here!! Threats to kill are only taken as that in the eye of the law if the person making the threat has the ability to carry that threat through at the time of making said threat. This is the word of the law. It is not the choice of the police. They do not make the laws and can be as frustrated as you, me or anyone else with such laws. \n\nFurthermore, harrassment is something far better dealt with via civil law through a solicitor and a county court. Please look into this. You will be far better served in this instance if you take this route. Criminal law is not really any good until serious offences have occured in this area. Also, there is no such thing as a verbal assault in the eyes of the law. Although you could argue that someone suffers physically because of the verbal onslaught they had received, but this would be an exceptional case. \n\nSee a sol re civil law. It really is your best bet.

Report them for criminal damage and anti-social behaviour.  Try to get a videotape of them causing the damage if you can.   If successful they could be fined.  Be careful though, if they only get a caution, they may be back with a grudge against you.

Be aware, these wierd people think they rule the World and indeed, they have around them a large entourage of the old elite who still wield enormous power in business and politics. They are anti-democratic, dangerously introspective privileged old has-beens and its long gone time they were removed from the UK political scene.\n\nDon't encourage them!\n\nHowever, if you must, try the link below:

The biggest threat to culture and tradition is not immigration but slavish adherence to the USA. For the last 40-50 years something has encouraged the English to denigrate their own customs and culture, taking the mickey out of folk singing, morris dancing, anything uniquely rooted in our own past. Go into any record store, there'll be a handful of English folk-based CDs probably filed under 'Irish'. There'll be hundreds of C&W discs many by English/Irish/Welsh bands who think their ability to imitate yanks makes them praiseworthy.\nI've been at Fairport Convention (never heard of them? How very English!) gigs where there's been 30 or 40 rastas bopping away merrily, right at the front. Far from being a threat this suggests that cultures are enhanced when shared. Culture is that which rises from within a people not that set of values chosen to enhance a shop-bought lifestyle. English culture is becoming little more than spraying US style graffiti while wearing US branded (though made in China) clothes while drinking imitation lager with US rap/house music on your headphones. If that's the culture that is under threat I want to help threaten it. There can be no pride in  a nation that seems to despise everything that welded it into a nation. It wasn't foreigners who, in  the 40s and 50s, decided Elgar's music was too jingoistic to be listened to by the politically sensitive - it was the English themselves, even though it was also them who attached the jingoistic values to Elgar's music in the first place!\nDon't fear the loss of a culture; do something yourself to maintain it. If you'd sooner go jogging (USA originated) or Line Dancing rather than join a Morris Dancing team then then it's really not English/British culture you are defending is it?

Humans have always hated in others what we hate about ourselves.  That is why you have so many people angrily attacking things they say they hate about our society.  Yet, what they hate the worst is what they see in the mirror everyday.  Normally, this isn't an issue but lately many of these hateful people have taken positions of power in our national government and that looks to be leading us to yet another unjust war.  Too make that situation even worse, these folks hide their hate behind religion... what a dangerous and explosive combination.

they are a problem but not the reason the nhs is in meltdown. the problem lies in over paid people in suits being given pointless jobs i.e. nappie changing co-ordinator (38,000 per yr). there will always be problem when you gave more managers than you do doctors and nurses.
