Learn to cope with a Sad Day for Pakistan from the Mets (NY baseball team that lost big-time a couple of days back).

Mental Help for Mets Fans
http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1667340,00.html?cnn=yes
Summary:

1. The first step is to accept how much it hurts, regardless of those dismissive observers you might know who tell you to have some perspective, that it's just the end of the season, not the end of the world.

2. Shift your focus to other sports. College and pro football are in full swing, and basketball will soon be tipping off.

3. Social Creativity: Basically, make yourself feel better by comparing your team to one which, historically, has been much worse off than yours.

4. Retroactive Pessimism: "A guy doesn't get a job, and he tells himself, 'gosh, the field was so competitive,'" he explains. "'There was nothing I could do to control it.' It has nothing to do with the fact that he's lazy and unqualified."

5. And who knows, in some ways, this whole horrible experience may provide unexpected benefits for Mets fans. "The beauty of being a fan is that it's something personal that you can share," says Hirt, the Indiana professor. ...Group hug, everyone. Right about now, we could sure use it.

Either way - mullahs in pakiland would have remained a small nuisance had paki elite NOT tapped into mullah ideology to further their own political and "strategic" agenda... mullahs are NOT that smart really to do all this on their own - they have been invited to the party and have been built from ground up and empowered to spread islamisation across the land...

even now there is time - pakis can still back out from the brink... all they have to do is stop believing the book, stop wannbe-bedouin...

Instead of working on that - pakis blame everybody else... YLH blames gandhi, HP blames the americans, hamidm blames madrasi macacas, and so on and so forth...

Paki whining never ends.... :)

Re: # 155 shish

True... gandhi foolishly pandered to these mullahs in false hopes of keeping everybody together - in the process he ended up alienating everybody, including hinuds and secular muslims... that was a big mistake...

Even though mullahs were opposed to jinnah at the beginning - once he took up the mantle of saviour of islam - they all went along with him... eventually they all ended up in pakiland...

Re: # 152

I thought Mullahs were opposed to Mr. Jinnah
because he wanted Muslims to tuck their tale
and retreat to Pakistan in two corners of
Hindustan after ruling it 1000 years and
Mullahs wanted to convert all of Hindustan
to Pakistan, hence the resentment, because
their playing field was being reduced.
I do not think either loved any of the
Hindus, both hated Hindus with a vengeance.

YLH

admit it - Gandhi eff888ed you pakis royally in more ways than one... the wily bania is having the last laugh - His "ally" mullahs have made pakiland miserable and and there is nothing you can do about it... :)

What the heck you pakis are whining about? Some TV guys did a poll in karachi recently and most people still want Mushy as their ruler - that's what daily times says...

So what's the problem?

Arjun mian,

The problem with you is that you twist my words.

What I have mentioned - in response to Jayp's abuse against Pakistan, Jinnah, TNT etc - is simply a fact of history... that most of these Mullahs were always in alliance with Gandhi and always Jinnah's opponents...

It is a fact of history whether you like it or not.

Manto: YOU'RE the one who thinks the jihadis making the paki army surrender everyday and blowing up women's schools are a product of gandhian thinking and were somehow created by gandhi...nobody outside your own little echo chamber buys that..probably not even the majority of people in your own house...

compared to that, masadi's US elites conapiracy theory seems very rational...

Bori 145,

You pakistanis have to see the reality, accept it , and take corrective actions if you do not like what you see.

I am the great mirror to pakistanis, so that when you lift your heads from the book, you see the reality.

At some stage you have to accept that the book is only some ink blots on paper, there is a life to be lived, in "flesh and blood", sorry for the pun, as any jihadi would understand it.

It is time that the pakistanis go into a collective depression, as the jihadis march towards ilamabad, and you hear teh distant thunder, lilaha illalla...pakistan ka matlab kys..

Last day for pakistan.

At last, pakistanis have reached the lowest level of trust one can have in the pak institutions. Banks are handing out fake currency. The news item says that now, most shop keepers have scanning devices to check for fake currency. As the govy cooks the books abouyt economy, as the amry changes constitution, as the courts develop doctrines of necessity, the people of pakistan are developing ways of survival as the primary social instututions collapse around them.


From jang business section of today


Fake currency notes in market causing scare
A bank customer claims delivery of counterfeit currency from ATM

Tuesday, October 02, 2007
By Salman Siddiqui

KARACHI: One does not expect to get counterfeit currency notes at bank counters or from ATMs. But it has happened in the city, and there is a scare about the presence of fake currency notes in the local market.

A few weeks ago a citizen, Mrs Najeeb, is reported to have withdrawn Rs5,000 (five notes of Rs1,000 each) from a bank’s ATM located at Gulistan-e-Jauhar and one of the five notes was fake, which she came to know later.

A great day for pakistan,

In the great democrazy of pakistan, about to be launched by benazir with the US support has announced that the US will be allowed publically to bomb waziristan.

At last the price of democracy is being announced and teh formal partition of pakistan, teh tribal areas are no more part of pakistan, noit controlled by the pak army, its borders are free for all.

It is a great day, at last the jinnahs TNT is working. First the other nation of east bengal seperated, now it is the other nation of NWFP. The beauty of jinnahic formulation is that there will always be the other nation, and it will keep dividing like amoeba.
