[...every airport, hummm.... shit man how come i couldn`t see that, i must have my eyes check....]

Well yeah - get your eyes checked if you want to - but from what I gather from pakis who have been victims of cavity-search - they didn`t ``see`` it either - they just ``felt`` it..... :)))

But seriously - it`s the pakis who are complaining about their special treatments at airports around the world - we see stories/articles in paki newspapers every once a while...

Ironically - only country pakis get good treatment is in india - easy visa - easy entry - warm welcome and what not - you know, with all the ``friendship`` thing going on these days......

re-mohar11,

``Disco Mian

If we hinuds don`t ``worry`` about you pakis and your ``problems`` - then who will? I mean - who else cares about you pakis? Every airport in the world has special cavity search teams ready for you folks - right?``

every airport, hummm.... shit man how come i couldn`t see that, i must have my eyes check.#damit#. On the contary, maybe you are talking about EVERY AIRPORT in india, because half of the worlds` population is in india neglecting indians elsewhere, thats make india half the world rite?. But in some manner i agree to your statement only indians have enough time on their hand, coz they have nothing to do, you know, population is at its peak, unemployement everywhere hence you all starts worring about other country. Governments should pay you for that, if they don`t i suggest you go for STRIKE. I`ll suggest you a new policy ``no money no thinking``, stop everything you do, don`t come to chowk for the next leap year at least. hope you understand.

Regards,
disco ( abb tum kiskoo!!!!!)

Dear Indians,
This is to inform you that you all are merely wasting your time in chowk.com , blaming pakistan for all that happens in your country. As a neighbour Pakistani`s all over feel very pathetic when they visit these link
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/416458.stm
especially this link
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3590847.stm

You should stop worring about pakistan and start thinking about india`s population, its food resource, and most disturbingly you should stop your youth of commiting sucide. Even though india is on the world top most list where people commit suicide but your population is on hight still ( strange ). India is given a world wide recognition as `` World Suicide Capital.``
I don`t think this is not a all good for india, and only because of stupid indian like here chowk.com who don`t think about there country and follow talk big do little policy, Pakistan is also being blamed for. Only because we are its neighbour as mohar11 said ``paki are good people``.

Regards
Disco ( yet to disco-ver- indians)

#254 very droll indeed..indians have had a long tradition of ``sanyas`` or denouncement of material life ..i suspect most of the baba-yogi-rishis in himalayas ran away from their wives..even buddha did run away from his wife, although no marital spat is indicated.

re:#227 by arjun_m
(LCCI Vice President Aftab Ahmad Vohra threw light on the present global scenario. He said the growth of IT sector in Pakistan had been miraculous....)
LCCI VP is right. IT sector growth in Pak has indeed been miraculous. IT (International Terrorism) continues to grow in Pakistan.

HAHA...5.50$/hr TSA agents show Pakiland it`s aukaad..Not only are average abdul pakis anally probed when they land at western airports, the PM`s entourage gets the same treatment..

VIEW: Serves ‘em right —Kamran Shafi

On to other matters now, and may I say to those who are incensed at the American’s ingression into Pakistan in the Bajaur area and the killing of innocent women and children that there is little point in getting ourselves into a great big lather: for while the American government has studiously avoided even saying sorry, it has added insult to injury by humiliating Private Banker Shaukat Aziz’s entourage at JFK airport by body searching the eminences, all official guests, and how! Telling us Paks in very clear terms where exactly we stand in their esteem.

However, while the injury of the bombing hurt every feeling Pakistani, the insult at New York is only of the Private Banker and this jellyfish we call the Government of the Land of the Pure. You and I have nothing to do with it.

For, only last week, writing about the week-kneed response of the government to the Damadola outrage I had said, “... we will have conveyed to the American Establishment that Pakistan is as ready as heretofore for even more slights; even more kicks ...”.

So let me say with all the force at my command that I refuse to be sullied by the shame that was heaped on these people: I absolutely refuse, for many times have I requested the Big General to please, please ensure that his appointees act with some little honour, some little propriety so that the rest of us poor (and hapless) Pakistanis are not disgraced because of what they do.

Let me ask a simple question here: what would have happened if (perish the thought) Sharifuddin Pirzada, the most senior of Shaukat Aziz’s advisers; or (perish the thought) the foreign secretary, the most senior bureaucrat on the delegation, had refused to be searched on the grounds that they were members of an official delegation headed by none other than the ‘prime minister’ of an allied country; that they were guests of the US government and were travelling by an official Pakistani aircraft — one that had weapons of the ‘prime minister’s’ security detail on board anyway? What would have happened, please? Would they have been ‘rendered’ to Romania, on way to Guantanamo?

Indeed, why didn’t the Pakistan embassy pre-empt the disgrace by asking the Americans to waive the body search for members of the official delegation, invited to the United States by the US government itself? It should jolly well have known what the ‘normal’ procedures are, for other Pakistani eminences on ‘official’ trips have been mistreated before.

Having said which, let me say that my joy at seeing the unbounded pomposity of our eminences drain out of them in no time flat at the hands of the $5.50-an-hour TSA agents was boundless! There was the formidable Pirzada, the great friend and confidant of dictators and autocrats and scourge of many a judge, and possibly the first and only law minister, attorney general, and practising lawyer all rolled into one removing his hat, putting it on again, removing it again and emptying out his pockets, all on order; there was the bane of elected political leaders Senator Azeem, awaiting his turn; there was the foreign secretary, arms akimbo, shuffling this way and that and looking lost and bewildered. Boy, oh boy, what fun! Well, serve ‘em right for grovelling so hard before the Americans.

May I end by saying that one couldn’t believe one’s ears when the Big General did not even mention, even in passing, the American government’s bombing of Damadola in Bajaur in his most recent speech to the nation. Shiekh Rashid ‘Tulli’ is obviously right when he says that the speech the General read out had been written months ago: even before the earthquake of October 8!

Umm...it`s all technical...too technical for a cab driver like you(and a paki to boot) to understand..

apparently the amateurs running chowk didn`t understand it either when I send them feedback a year ago about their site allowing xss..

Of course, this is how most Indians have been living. One of them who escaped has been seen on chowk. He identifies himself as rsridhar.

Indians are strange creatures for humans to understand.

#202 GT:

``How do you know that it is ``many``.

Well, in the example i did mention more than one, didn`t I? It it satisfies you i am open to re-phrase it by replacing 4-5 (whichever is correct) in place pf ``many``. fine?


``Your sample is from chowk interactors.``

i never said it is from a gallop poll conducted in pak.


`` Implications about Indians, Pakistanis, Hindus and Muslims are drawn from the sample of chowk interactors by other great `intellectual` chowk interactors. ``

dude, i am not implying anything from it. Hamidm said ``we`` (pakis) are not bothered and I tried to say that you are incorrect.

thats pretty much.

it was plain english, no fundo statistics.

``and now you will say that most Pakistanis are closet Merlot drinkers who in their sober states analyse the pros and cons of Hindutva-intoxicated-Indians defecating on railroad tracks. ``

no I wouldn`t.
