[Learn being a good Muslim from ur friend. Ask Allah`s forgiveness for ur jahalat resulting from ur kafir background and attitude before u die. On Judgement Day it will be too late.]

Are you saving yourself for the 72 houris?

U were lucky to be married to Muslim but u not left ur barbaric manners, more like Hindians than Muslim.

All u talk is ur friend`s personal life. U must have a miserable existence. See anybody else talking other peoples personal life?

Not others, U are a nut case. Learn being a good Muslim from ur friend. Ask Allah`s forgiveness for ur jahalat resulting from ur kafir background and attitude before u die. On Judgement Day it will be too late.

“WHAT, explain to me, is wrong with being a bimbo? haan?”

Nothing, nothing at all. Please don’t be cross.

And I will admit that Ms Haq’s top ten remedies for constipation were extremely useful. Happy?

Zafar

PS For future reference, male bimbos are himbos.

PPS And you didn’t answer my question about why Lahore is superior to Karachi.

EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN from dawn of today

In pakistan where (honour) killing is legitimised, it is just a matter of time all other crimes will become legal in the peoples minds. Here is what education does in pakistan, will any educated on chowk care to respond.

An occasional murder

By Hafizur Rahman

I am told that a retired federal secretary met three brash young men at a society wedding in Karachi some time ago and asked them what they did. ``We are dakoos, Uncle,`` said one of them with a straight face. He wasn`t joking and told the horrified gentleman how, being unemployed, they committed a dacoity every three months or so and had an enjoyable holiday abroad on the takings, usually in the Gulf. For day-to-day expenses they still relied or their parents.

Maybe it`s a sign of progress that more and more young people every day are taking to larceny, dacoity and an unavoidable murder as a permanent vocation. At this rate a time may soon come when families who have no son engaged in any of these activities, will have to hide themselves with shame.

It is heartening to note also that the intellectual level of persons engaged in larceny, dacoity (and the occasional murder of course) is gradually rising. It is no longer the monopoly of those rejected by society, the riff-raff and the good-for-nothing from the lower classes, who hadn`t anything better to do. Gone are the days when a man involved in these activities wore a guilty look and was avoided by the genteel and the noble, even if they were poor. He would rather have died than admitted his nefarious profession. Happily it is no longer so.

In Sindh, it was once said, half the jungle dacoits were graduates. In Punjab nothing could have done more to impart respectability to these enterprising professions than what happened some time ago in Multan, the city of saints, where apparently the saintly part of the population is all below the ground, safely dead and buried.

The police discovered that a group of four lawyers had been master-minding robberies and other such work requiring legal finesse. The four were also alleged to have killed a companion who had ratted on them, and thrown the dead body in a nearby forest. They might have been justified in doing so, for he was only a student of BA and had joined the group on false pretences, without first becoming a lawyer. Since he was not academically qualified, he had to be disposed of. It was as simple as that.

``Yaar why do we have to decide everything as a nation? What happened to the freedom of choice? How about first deciding as a nation whether we`ll relieve ourselves standing up or sitting down?``

Well, my friend, nobody suggested that we need to decide EVERYTHING as a nation. But there certainly are things that need to be decided at the national level. That is why we have governments whose job is to take input from us and devise a NATIONAL policy on issues, thus guiding the nation in the right direction... no doubt ``freedom of choice`` is extremely important but that doesn`t mean every Tom Dick and Harry should be allowed to do whatever the fcuk s/he wants to do. Please go back and read my post again. Hopefully, this time you`ll be able to understand what I was trying to say.

On a different note, you seem to have a flair for bringing up issues out of non-issues. In response to your first post, I tried to point out why reading TFT is important but you seemed more interested in my trials and tribulations at Freddys and Zouq. Then I attempted to bring you back to the point but this time it was, why do we have to decide EVERYTHNG as a nation? I don`t want to induldge in some sort of lengthy debate with you... my only point was/is, we need to reconsider our (in my opinion) hypocritical and paradoxical policy towards our people in general and women in particular. On one hand we have religion, morality and social barriers (which I have nuthing against btw) and on the other hand we promote ``ooohhs`` ``aaahhhs`` and ``awwwws``. I think it`s not quite working this way and we need to do something abt it. Whether you agree with me or not, it`s ok with me either way :-)

``Why should all of us need to be smart and intellectual and understand what the bloody english patient is all about or why kahlil gibran did what he did...``

Well, I guess nuthing wrong with being a bimbo. But thanks god I`m not one. Don`t fit your definition of bimbohood at all. I don`t beautify the environment, am always running around with daggers to stab someone and me an idiot... yeah rOite, NO CHANCE! By the way, searched the entire library catalog but cudn`t find the novel that you mentioned in your post. One came close --- ``The English Patient`` --- but heck, he wasn`t ``bloody`` enuff. If you cud please tell me the name of the author...?

``dang, uncle shammi`s whipping uncle romair``

ahan, fine... but what I`m unable to understand is why is Romair`s proposition such a major pain in the butt for YOU and is making you jump up and down as if somebody`s shoved sumthing up your...?!? I mean, you shud be more concerned with where your country wud be 50 yrs from now instead of worrying your head over whether Pakistanis would be able to ssuck up to, who you`ve been referring to as ``chaptas`` (like HELLOOO, as if you belong to some incredibly gorgeous and stunningly pulchritudinous race... RELAX, have a look at your bhai bandaz in campuses on east coast, that might help you just a bit in setting your feet on ground!) I guess your `prime-example-of-brevity-at-its-best` post (Reply #: 78) was coming from somewhere else... kinda shows your desperation to prove Romair wrong, if not by yourself then by any one else at all. Ok, let`s assume for a second that Pakistan would not become China`s Canada, Mexico or even anything close to that (which, in my opinion, is not something to be REALLY proud of anywayz!). So what does that prove? Pakistan will be DOOMED!!!. Fine, if that makes you feel better. Now relax and try to catch all the sleep that you`ve missed for the last two or three nights.

RHYMES IN SUPPORT OF USAMA BIN LADIN IN SOUTH KOREAN SCHOOLS

SEOUL (International Desk): Young kids in South Korean schools have disturbed the authorities by singing songs in support of Usama Bin Ladin. According to local media sources, in the schools of the South Korean city of Posan and its interior province, the authorities have made special arrangements to stop the kids from singing songs in favour of Usama Bin Ladin. Education officers in Posan have also been ordered to stop the kids from singing songs in favour of Usama Bin Ladin, and explain to them the 11th September events and the War against Terrorism headed by the American Government. According to the South Korean newspaper, Jongang, the kids sing the following song in support of Usama Bin Ladin:

``I like Usama Bin Ladin very much.

I`ll become a terrorist when I grow up

The American President Bush is the personality I hate most``

miss anNy

Mar jain aap kaheen jakar. The `I hope they marry` bit was a smart move- couldnt figure out who the hell you were talking about. Manhoos aurat.

Your `best bud` is overjoyed at being called a male bimbo- cracks up every few minutes.

I am stuck between nut cases.

Re: Romair

Couldn`t resist a few more…

``…Our (China & Pakistan) views on nearly all international issues are similar….``

You mean like on CTBT, NPT, NATO intervention in Kosovo, Gulf War, Vietnam War, Korean War, Pakistan`s Taleban policy, East Timor, relations with Indonesia/ Saudi Arabia, etc? Am I missing some? Enlighten me, please.

``And we have a lot to offer China ..Land to grow crops….``

So will this be in the form of a permanent lease of Punjabi agriculture plots to Chinese farmers imported from their poorest provinces? Or will it be what the rest of world does - buy and sell agricultural commodities? The latter, of course, gives the buyer to switch suppliers with ease to find the lowest-priced sellers. Canadian wheat will remain more abundant and cheaper the Pakistani wheat. Ditto for American soybeans, and hogs bellies.

``…And hopefully someday highly skilled labor to augment their booming economy…``

Just like Pakistani skilled labor has done wonders for the Europeans, Japanese and the Americans? In case you didn`t notice, the Chinese have no shortage of labor (skilled & unskilled). They want capital and high technology. And that, Pakistan lacks.

re shammi #74:

China`s so called economic prowess is built upon an exclusively export-oriented policy with the foreign exchange parked in the form of US treasuries in institutions abroad. Its an exact replica of the policies pursued by Japan in the 70s and 80 and later on by the so-called Asian tigers. The ROmairs of this world whose only exposure seems to be works of linear economists like Shahid Javed Burki are the same sort of people who extrapolated Cisco and Walmart revenues to grow exponentially to predict that they would ultimately end up selling everything sold anywhere. Most of the same thinking permeated the dot-com madness. The results are there for everyone to see. Hence Blue horseshoe and his current fascination with China........

anNy #74:

I am an ardent devotee of bimbohood also. Your paean celebrating the joys of bimbohood deserves to be handed over to be memorized by every bespectacled intellectual with bad breath. BTW what`s the stress all about? I thought the exams were over.....time for some joyriding in the Alto???(without the dupatta I hope :)
