What's justice?

Can I still chop the junkies?



For the record, I don't brand someone a ned or chav because of where they live, or what they are wearing. I reserve the right to judge people by their criminal behaviour though. no excuse for terrorizing a community.

Kids will be kids, it's the over 25s that I have a problem with.

Dont blame the kids, they are the sons and daughters of people who have no parenting skills, they dont know/care where their kids are or what they are doing... Just because kids wear the same sort of clothes , it doesnt make them all bad .


Read your posts again and think back to the 50's with teddy boys, the 60's with Mods and Rockers, the 70's with Punk rockers... I am sure people were making the same sweeping judgements then ...


Point taken Kev, for sure, but I wasn't around to experience whatever went on back then and can therefore only vent my frustration at what goes on now.  I agree that it is down to the parents.... so make your vote and decide what we shall do to these parents!

As I understand it the term applies to wannabe yuppies, like Delboy and Rodney.

People who think that they are cool but are actually the complete opposite.

But it seems that I may be wrong ....

Red-dog, i'm sure you are not a chav.

I used to live in broxtowe nottm, the place was full of chavs and they lived up to their stereotype. There were some non-chavs and you could instantly tell they were different just by looking at them (they were often picked on by the chavs).

In my eyes the definition of a chav includes someone who breaks into your car etc. The guy who lived next door to me had his wheelie bin burnt and a brick thrown through his window just because he was asian. The kid who did it lived right across the street and he couldn't do anyhting about it. They all stick together and do these types of things together, that is why they are stereotyped. If they did not exclude themsleves from society, form their own groups and then do these types of things, it wouldn't be possible to stereotype them.

Have you ever heard Gypsies described in similar terms?

[Wardonkey]

Supamonkey you miss the point entirely.

Red is objecting to the bigotry displayed on this thread, not to being labelled a 'chav' himself.

This thread say more about those willing to label someone as a 'chav' than it does about anyone else.

   very well presented justification for modern day prejudice including the advocation of stereotyping with a mind to disparage a particular group of people and uncorroborated examples of anti social behaviour ascribed to "chavs", astonishing! you've convinced me.

these Ned's/chavs stab and rob my friends for fun and steal are racist now not one of the options given can do justice i would happily pull the trigger my self because these people are the scum of the earth i rate them the same as shit on my shoe.

an eye for an eye.

I'm baffled by the response to this poll.  I am from Chatham where it is said the Chav culture began and it was a label that was originally given almost in a kind of jovial manner but has since become known nationwide and applied across all our counties.  My poll was simply designed to create some humour and get some fun ideas, it should not be taken too seriously

Am I a chav?

[thetank]

That is to say, I understand why this thread has caused offence.

[Claw75]

You want everyone to get together and poke fun at a particular section of society. Don't be surprised if everyone dosen't join in.
