Cultural elitism or just garbage disposal?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Cultural elitism or just garbage disposal?

Well, we British love to have a good moan. We also like to hate the lower orders, unless you are the lowest order, at which point the process wraps back around.

This site combines the two to come up with something really rather beautifully elitist. What does everyone else think?


People who take drugs are bad.

Damn customs agents

I think chavs should be shot on sight personaly. I acually do h8 them, and really wouldnt be bothered if they all died.

oh come on, its just a phase, i remember when everyone was moaning about goths, grebo's and skaters.

All Chavs should be beaten with rather large sticks... no exceptions.

think we should organise a chav hunt?
I bet lots would come along

TET, not sure in what sort of terms you mean "lowest order", I'm assuming it means disadvantaged or poor. Personally I only use chav to refer to those who deliberately intimidate passers-by, shoplift, vandalise and generally make a nuisance of themselves. That's got nothing to do with social or economic status and plenty to do with how much of an anti-social arsehole the person is.
I don't think it's fair however to lump any person who happens to wear sports tracksuits, baseball caps or large hoop earrings and are law-abiding citizens in with a bunch of yahoos like chavs.

Rec, I was being ironic.

Anyway I'm sure you realise there are still traces of the traditional class system present in the country. I was just using 'lower orders' as a substitute for the louts, yobs and delinquents that we are forced to put up with. Just read some of the mail the site owner receives to understand my point.

Perhaps someone would care to explain to us outside of England what a 'chav' is?

I'll give it a try although I must from the outset, defer to the UK contingent for any inaccuracy I may describe below.

I have forgotten who explained it to me and how or when but a "chav" in England is a kind of "***** trash" element that seems to be forever stuck on "bling bling" and certain brand name totems of commercialized mass appeal class (i.e. Burberry's plaids) but who otherwise are just basically crude, rude, vulgur and often times violent. It was also mentioned to me that the words "employed" and "chav" are seldom uttered in the same sentence.

impressive however u missed out on there h8 for any non-chavs. Also they drive done up Novas and go around in them with some crapy rap or dance music on. And plz note dont refer to it as "outside england" have them in scotland to u know, and trust me come here call us english ull leave in a body bag, no offence to english just it annoys us that people alsways do that.

PS avoid Glasgow at night at all costs, and also fife is like chav capital
