  1. I know, I was messing about. But it's an interesting idea.
  2. I think also your point (on the other forum) about sending a message to people - that they will be protected no matter what they do - is an important aspect. I think this is just english culture in general myself. They like to do this to men of colour. But they'll keep some eye candy brown/black b1tch no problem.
  3. Maybe they fused Buddhi and Burrhi together and came with Budhrhee?
  4. I'm seriously shocked though. I mean it's not like they are hi-tech over there???
  5. I remember this one. It was also used as a subtle insult by one bloke to another younger one. As in you are a juaak that's why you don't know x,y and z. Never heard juaakri before though.
  6. What happens to many minorities is that the the majority make it a policy to intimidate and demoralise the children from young. This effects their confidence and mentality even when older. Knowing you can be killed or beaten as a child and that nothing will be done about it can have this effect. If someone from the minority did theoretically flex it back hard on them, they will simply gang up and lynch the guy - like they did to Waheguru knows how many strong blacks in the US for centuries.
  7. To be honest with you, I'm shocked people back home ain't sprung more political prisoners out there. Especially from Panjabi gaols???
  8. Where does the variant 'buddhri' come from? Anyone know?
  9. Our lot are the type to keep touching the iron even after they've burnet their hands on it. It says a lot though, that parents aren't tuned into their kids to the point that they commit suicide under their noses. Sharper folk might twig something is wrong.
  10. Well done. You put a smile on my face! lol Actually, it's been so long I'd forgot, but my dissertation at uni was about using tech to teach Gurmukhi. I made this as a Powerpoint (clickable) slide years ago for my nephew, using my moms. She messed up a little bit at places though. I put the ppt file on a site somewhere and someone made a video from it! lol
  11. Do they use laptops/PCs/tech? Where do they get the books from? India?
  12. This stuff is so predictable I'm not sure I have much sympathy?
  13. I'm talking about way back. I'm glad to hear it. Are the kids on it?
  14. That's just one type. The other problem is the quality of teaching provisions for these things. When I was kid it was being in a room full of other kids, in the Gurdwara parroting. No novel approaches to teaching were applied. The resources were usually quite dry and boring. Teachers were usually strict and traditional. (You'd get graded as Failing by Ofsted for that approach in mainstream schools). Still, it was better than being at home.......I'm not complaining, I'm glad for that too. Many modern kids, especially because of tech, seem to have very short attention spans, the teaching approach needs to be stimulating and modern. Plus good teachers should be paid well. They were always volunteers before. God bless them.
  15. Nah, if done right, they can get a following as anti-heroes of type.
  16. Imagine seeing this in a dark alley..........phew!
  17. I totally agree! But maybe I'm influenced by studying psychology and what I've witnessed over the years regarding human behaviour. Some parents do not have a clue about child rearing. They don't understand or know (or maybe care?) about the long term effect of their actions on kids or the family or even wider community. I'm also beginning to believe we have we have a disproportionate amount of low, mid level narcissists in our community. They seem incapable of thinking of anything but themselves and struggle with abstract thought. So ideas of panth, community etc. mean nothing to them deep inside even though they will infiltrate for various perceived benefits like social status, contacts, image etc.
  18. Well I thank Waheguru that at least some sisters can still feel shame.
  19. Parenting is tough. Especially when you cant slap a kid (like these days, and I'm not saying this should be done - I had more than my fair share!) So people just pacify the kids with an ipad. It's like a modern day dummy, but with a lot of potential for unforeseeable, insidious side-effects.
  20. Oh well, at least he keeps the hair gel industry fed. I think this guy might be related to?
  21. They care about their image and name maybe? We can at at least condemn and diminish it. Like I said, the problem has had a long time to establish itself. It won't go overnight. We have to create a snowball effect. Firstly though, don't promote it, or support it by watching, buying etc.
