Why do Pakistanis find the term Paki offensive with is it just an abbreviation?

Most 'Pakis' I know are not offended by the term itself because they are smart enough to realise it is just an abbreviation... what tends to offend them is the nasty way in which some racists use the term.

If you want to label Pakistan as a terrorist state, please also include the US for their support to the Mujaheddin during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and their support for Israel in Palestine. Please also include India for their support to East Pakistan (Bangladesh) during the 1971 crises. An irony of history is that the winning side is always the one to decide who the terrorists are. In Pakistan's case, that question has not been decided as yet so lets not get hasty with our conclusions!\n\nIf you are comparing the leadership of Pakistan with Saddam Hussain's leadership, I am sorry, but either you are trying to exaggerate an issue out of proportion or you have no idea what you are talking about. Its because of thinking like this why peace can never be achieved. Why not engage your time constructively rather than by trying (and failing miserably) to create rifts?

Because we’re waiting for the Pakistani’s to fire some of their warheads so that we can fire a few hundred back at them. After all we don’t want our nuclear weapons to become stale or loose their minty fresh scent. Plus we can then send out another few thousand troops for another future war in another country. Otherwise what would we have all those military contractors or military bases for? In short: because we want to maintain job security.

They have something called "slang." Such as pwned for owned which means to defeat an enemy easily. And "lol" for laugh out loud. Is this what you wanted?

Pakistan have its share of fools(fanatic people) who brain washed by secret agencies to do these kind of terrorism.I believe that this blast is ordered by cia or raw.because  to put pressure on our government and society.\nI know islamists that they are simple people.They d'nt teach bomb making in madrasas.so these terrorists are trained by some agencies, (like osama bin laden was trained by cia).The fact is an ordainary man can not get his hand on explosives that means this blast plan was well resoursed and well funded.

Hello Hashi,\n  OK call me crazy if you wish, BUT, all I know is if I lived in a neighborhood where everyone around me has a gun (bomb?) and one of them has been in a continual gun battle with one of my religious brothers (Palestine / Israel.) Then there's the other one that invaded my next door neighbors house to steal all his valuables (oil,political freedom,will) (US / Iraq) and to add insult to injury, he's not even from around here to begin with! Yeah call me crazy! I definitely would want my own gun. Wait a minute, they DO call me crazy!\n\nAs a side note, I think we should not be so damn cozy with Pakistan either, it appears that the Musharraf's Mob is playing serious games with us, both on the capture of bin Laden and the sale of nuclear secrets to not only Iran, but also Libya and North Korea.

the Pakistani army couldn't fight its way out of a wet paper bag.That army can't even hold it's own northern territories there run by tribal warlords and the Taliban. This army has had no luck in it's wars with India which is why the Indians still hold Kashmir. The equipment is antique it's methods are obsolete and it's command and control are soooo 1950's. Your training methods are hopelessly out of date they may have been okay back in the 60's but are worthless now. Your air force is a joke and your navy doesn't deserve the title of navy. It should be called the Pakistani museum of obsolete warships and aircraft. Maybe if your nice enough the US will let you get some of there old equipment that will seem brand new to you.

Came from General George Patton during WWII.  It stands for \n"Situation Normal All Fouled Up"  One may substitute a different word starting with "F" should one be so inclined. The original I believe used by General Patton was the substitute word beginning with "F".

Because they are a hop, skip, and a jump away from Afganistan where we have troops already deployed. On the other side you have India who would GLADLY help the US with Pakistan. All to do with self preservation not shared political values.

I believe it is mostly because it was used as a derogotory term by people, much in the same way that Negro was. There's nothing essentially offensive about it, it just means "eastern" in Latin, and Asian is just from the Greek word Asia, which didn't even describe all of what is now considered Asia. So, it has more to do with how the word was used than the word itself.

I think that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. Pakistani Punjabis are Muslim and Urdu is seen as a more Islamic language than Punjabi. The government of Pakistan is pretty much dominated by Punjabis and Muhajirs. The Mohajirs were the people who immigrated to Pakistan after independence from India. They are the most educated people in Pakistan and they promote Urdu. Secondly there is no real script to write Punjabi in Pakistan. Sikhs have Gurmukhi script that they use to write Punjabi. The only script that it sometimes used to write Punjabi is Pakistan is the Shahmukhi script. The government does not promote Punjabi. Sikhs tend to be most proud of Punjabi since their religion is deeply rooted in Punjab and Punjabi language. However the same cannot be said about Pakistani Punjabis. I know it is a sad situation when people are unwilling or unable to promote their mother language. However, it is important to note that Punjabi, despite lacking any official status, is still important in Pakistan. The biggest and most popular movies in Pakistan tend to be Punjabi even though more Urdu films are made. I guess the heart of Pakistan is still Punjabi despite the fact that Punjabi is ignored and looked down upon. . Punjabi language has rich poetry and literature. Many Pakistani also view Urdu as a bond that hold Pakistan together and they are fearful when Punjabis begin to promote their language. I guess that they will know the value of Punjabi after they lose it. There is a saying in Punjabi that "maa boli nu bhul jawega, oh kakhan vangu rul jawega". "If you forget your mother language, you will be lost"
