There's a mad flagger here usually found on UP with the Mad Cow Disease.

Is there some reason why my post #117 got flagged? I was not calling anyone a "muttarwa", if it was, it would not have been in quotes. I guess some people are not intelligent enough to understand that I was quoting the pos(t)er who said that.

What I have said is nothing compared to what has come from some of your bloody keyboards. . . how pathetic.

'Benazir had all the good qualities of her illustrious father and none of his bad traits -- she was more educated more knowledgeable more sophisticated and more civil more courageous than her father -- she put the debased and deprived Muslim womanhood at the threshold of mainstream modernity. '

I agree 2 everyword u said but this is just one side of the whole story :(

This is an imperfect world but she made wrong assessment of the ground situation in Pakistan and wanted to be Pakistan's Hamid Karzai. Whereas the ultras made deep inroads into Pakistan and god knows when......(I want to leave it unsaid).

I watched all the debates and interviews she gave to westen media b4 she's in Pakistan. She was toeing the US line and u know the slogan of ultras in Pakistan:

Jo Amrika ka yaar hai, Pakistan ka gaddar hai (somtehing like that).

When she got US endorsement means she signed her own death warrant.

Beena Sarwar,

Good write-up.

As an Urdu Speaking Man, I believe that MQM is our only savior and that Sindi's the greatest threat to our existence in Pakistan - after the Sindis comes Punjabis (at least Punjabis are a bit more compactable with us).

HP,

""abey jab Jhanda laganay ka itna hi shouq tha tau maan behnoon ke izzat luta kar idhar kiyoon aa gaya!"

So what was your friend's response? It would be interesting to know.

However I understand the plan for Jinnahpur is well underway. Guess that should soothe Salim's feelings over the above remark to some extent I hope .. :)

By all estimates, there will be a fuel shortage by March, more troops will be needed to guard fuel supply. Pak troops are not doing well at the afghan borders, because unlike the people of karachi, the jihadis are armed. Troops should be moved to guard duties and the jihadis left to the NATO forces to deal with.

It is coming, do not discout the jaypradamus.

Shortly, there will be a political polarisation, pakistan will become a good two party state, like the US. There will be a PMP, pakistan military party, and PIP, pakistan islamic party.

Now most of teh peoples opinions are along these lines, some one has to come up and lead it.

I do hope that what xeemax has posted will come true, that there will be no elections in pakistan.

The need of the hour is more troops, the police and the FC have been proven to be incompetent. The troops are guarding the food trucks, they are manning the shops. The largest heist in pakistan, 140 million rupees was carried out by the private security guards. The common kidnappings are on the rise with no one arrested.

Having taken over electricity supply to the manufacture of pop corns and of course the civil service, the military has to displace the para military and the police. The FCs as evidenced in the latest slaughter at Sargoda , have been reduced to jihadic fodder.

Get rid of the elections, what is needed is more troops and lots of it. Long live mushy and his troops.

Hurricane: I would beg to differ here. There is no brotherly love between some of these brothers, but thank you for being positive here.

Viqar: If you can say that about the "muttarwas", then why not apply it to some of the Punjabis, Sindhis, Baluch and Pashtuns as well? Y'aani ke I am not buying the argument that mohajirs are not Pakistanis. That level of thinking simply does not work for me.

Khair, time to say good night. . .

Re: # 113 Viqram saab,

you are mistaken. We lover our muttarwas. The main reason, cause the word muttarwas reminds us of muttar pulao, which every Pakistani loves...and just on that basis...we love our urdu speaking folks. Plus they brought a whole new flavor of culture and education with them.


wonderful stuff

#111 HP,
So, this is what has your lungi on a ghee-fed fire and ants crawling up your behind?

I repeat #94 here for your enjoyment - of course it was in response to your usurpation of "progressiveness" as a Sindhi trait:

HP #92 {"#83 Posted by viqarm
The first thing that stands out like a sore thumb in your post is that you don't know what progressive means. ...
Try this link to learn a bit about Progressiveness."}

HP,
It is both gutsy and funny when a person born out of wedlock goes around calling everyone in the world a "bastard." LOL

You are notorious as a supporter of Sindhi Vaderas, a cheerleader of PPP feudals, and one who applauds the murderous behavior and arsonist zeal of PPP workers, supporters, and goons in the recent carnage in Sindh. With such despicable credentials you are now going to preach to Urdu-speaking Mohajirs about "progressiveness."

Sindhis who deliberately keep their serfs or haris illiterate and destitute are progressive?

Sindhis who burn and loot, loot and burn, and commit rapes as sanctioned rapes are progressive?

Sindhis whose male illiteracy rate is only eclipsed by the formidable female illiteracy rate are progressive?

Sindhis who say "Urdu na khappey, Punjabi na Khapey, Pakistan na Khapey, Panahguzeer na Khapey" are patriotic, tolerant, and progressive?

Sindhis who used to place their daughters in the homes of Hindu Vaderas as collateral for loans were progressive?

Shame on you and your attempt to masquerade your racism as bigotry. :(

Re: # 105 Ana bibi,
You must have misunderstood. Punjabis, Sindhis, Baloch and Pathans are the only Pakistanis.

Ana #105,
HP is just trying to justify why Pakis should not be allowed to consume firewater - and he has succeeded. :)

I understand your concern. It was a response to #94 of the jester who can't think before he writes.

I agree people suffered during the partition and no one should make fun of their sufferings. However, letting that jester go un-responded does not work for me.

#106 HP {"I know. In Indiana, they used to have signs that nigger must not enter this area."}

HP,
So they stopped you from entering Indiana. Did you even consider that it was your anti-Indian bigotry rather than your black skin that was your problem?
