Oh I'm sorry Oxford English Dictionary.

I don't even use the term as I know what nerves it can tickle with the like of forum users, I was merely explaining it's context in hope you would understand.

However as per the nutcases are out with their pitchforks already.

*sigh*

Now back on topic and stop crying.

This, always heard it as being a racist remark referring to people from Pakistan, India, other Middle Eastern nationals, and people who are Muslims. Never heard anyone say it as a term specifically for members of the Taliban or Al Qaeda.

Totally agree - Never heard it to be specific to Taliban or Al-Qaeda...

Behave. Don't try and justify what was said, and make it seem as though it's the fault of people who found it offensive. :rolleyes:

Second world war was entirely different. It was about one man wanting domination of the west and eradication of certain people and races, and in doing so was happy to enable and carry out genocide.

The two situations are not even close to being similar.

Of course they are - it's about a belief of someone thinking they are superior to all other beliefs & wanting to eradicate those that stand in their way.

Eh? I didn't even say it. Stop persecuting me.

EvilDreams · 2 May 2011 at 15:14

So, one woman was killed and another two injured in the raid.

Never mind, huh? :rolleyes:

Usually in this kind of situation they take trophy pics of the corpse.

So far the whole thing leaves me a bit dubious.

NO - 'rag head' means the person living in your street, the person you walk past every day in the road, the person you work with.

It's insulting & racist, don't do it.

Have you been physically harmed due to the use of that term?

Seriously, grow up. Quick. Were you not taught the whole sticks and stones adage? :rolleyes:

Raghead to me is anyone who wears a rag on their head. Who cares. FFS.

I'm not saying you did.

But you were suggesting it was the fault of those that did take offense, to have taken offense.

Anyway, back on topic.

OSAMA BIN LADEN HAS BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS APPARANTLY.

I don't believe that this is anything other than another cia controlled crock of **** designed to further tighten the grip of world domination by the few that control us.

If you look at the picture in the front page of the daily mail:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ll-terror-chief-near-Islamabad-Paskistan.html (scroll down half to way untill you see his bloodies caved in face... it looks nothing like him. The guy has the teeth of a hollywood actor... its not bin laden probably just another lookylikey)

Seriously I would not touch the 2012 olympics with a barge pole...

Ah yes wikipedia, the tomb of truth and wisdom!

But seriously. generally the term rag head around here means taliban or al quida.

Hmm, I thought it was universally understood to be a derogatory racist term for people from a certain part of the world, ie. middle east.

Who cares - what has being female got to do with it tbh... no different to one of his male entourage being killed.
