Of course, bipolar turd brain is stuck exactly where it should be. Sqautting on railroad tracks can never enlighten the brainless retards. Cut & paste technology can never help you develop knowledge. Serves you right.

Why does everything have to descent into an India-vs.-Pakistan war on Chowk? This was supposed to be about Iran, our Muslim brethren to the West with whom historically we have so much in common and who have produced the shining stars of Islamic civilisation (and who are also the fair skinned Aryans who invaded and conquered the indiginous smaller, darker, Dravidian natives in India about 5000 odd years ago, thus bringing advanced civilisation to that land--the first of many conquerers--the last being the British) but people have begun talking about pakistan and india!

As far as the US (and EU) is concerned India is their real interest, Pakistan is just being temporarily used for the time being and will, no doubt, be unceremoniously dumped as soon as it is no longer of tactical use to the Americans. I wish the rulers in Pakistan would realise this and re-align their foreign policy. Again this leads to Iran...Together we can work towards a democratic, Islamic Union of Democratic Nations similar to the EU, from Pakistan to Morocco insha Allah united by One Faith (Islam instead of Secularism) and One Civilisation (Islamic instead of Graeco-Roman) and One Currency (Dinar instead of Euro). This is a long term project, yet it is achievable via the ballot box. Insha Allah.

This is what Pakistan should be aiming for.

Islamic Union of Democratic Nations


With a membership of what? 3? Turkey, Indonesia and Morocco?

Another Islamist wet dream borne out of impotent rage against the US..

Morrison points to another advantage Mexico has over India: Due to U.S. legislative restrictions, certain kinds of projects involving sensitive aviation and energy technology are more likely to go to Mexico than to India, a nuclear-power nation.

Sure, definitely this is a brillaint point.

Trained manpower surplus in Mexico available for these projects: 0. Reputation of mexican management in technology and project delivery in US: non-existent. Number of mexican students training for careers in IT, management, business process: almost none.

In fairness to the mexicans, their economy is humming along fine. But only a moron would think they have any chance to create this type of services. It takes a lot of trained people and good management for anything of the sort to happen. There is a reason why there are 100,000 indians in US universities this year.

But how would Behram know? I mean he doesnt even know when end is (you know)....

#129 behram:

it seems you are against MNC`s. but what to you mean by mnc`s?

are these the biggies from u.s. ?

or big companies from all over the world? or any foreign company?


infact, even samsung is a mnc. there are indian mnc`s too.


BTW, it seems you are for employment generation through private enterprise as i was arguing with masadi, which he disagrees with.
our only rift is with mnc. currently i have no problems acquiring growth through FDI or NRI or investments coming from india itself, as long as laws are not trampled upon.

Something for fractoid junkies from India to consider.

Due to frazzing, US, the most productive economy in the world, wastes over $800B per year. How much does India, the most unproductive economy in the world waste? Any guess? No wonder, Indian code coolies are given less than what diapers costs for American babies. American babies diarrhea is more valuable than Indian code coolies.

Indians are strange creatures for humans to understand.

{BTW, it seems you are for employment generation through private enterprise as i was arguing with masadi, which he disagrees with. } I do not agree with most of what masadi has suggested. I am making a distinction between private enterprising business that is still family owned to a large extent and MNCs whose growth are mostly from floating stocks, etc. and then the management usually screw the actual owners, the shareholders.

I truly believe in the capitalist system of free enterprise.

{as long as laws are not trampled upon.} Unless, they are caught, as was the case with Enron, Worldcom, etc., many MNCs push the envelop to skirt around the laws of the land. Because they can and they do it.

It is very difficult to hold an MNC accountable because they have huge power to circumvent the local governments. Even for the US, it could only bring a few handful of MNCs to justice. How can a developing country like India, even dream of competing with a bohemoth like Walmart? (i.e. if Walmart is ever allowed to open shop inside India), when the infrastructure of laws, finance, etc. are still not in place.

MNCs are truly out to safeguard the executives of their own entities, and are the most destructive force for the enterprising capitalistic system. They rob the ingenuity of their workers through intellectual property rights, they rob the host country of any fair taxes and place extra surcharge on their own consultant`s salaries, and generally do not provide institutional knowledge to the host countries. Can anyone genuinely believe that Boeing will allow India to get all their over 100 years of institutional knowledge?

If nobody knows what is the recipe of Coca Cola, then how can one expect Boeing to impart knowledge of making aircrafts to the host country? And this is the biggest drawback a developing country faces.

Question for the inbred retard to answer...

If IT is so bad, why is Pakistan begging microsoft to come and invest in Pakiland..Why hold exhibitions with the stated purpose of inviting foreign investment in IT?

sour grapes?

If Indians are code coolies, pakis are failures at being code coolies...how pathetic is that.

57% Americans support military action in Iran
By Greg Miller, Times Staff Writer
Published: January 27 2006 15:22 | Last updated: January 27 2006 15:22

Los Angeles TimesWASHINGTON — Despite persistent disillusionment with the war in Iraq, a majority of Americans supports taking military action against Iran if that country continues to produce material that can be used to develop nuclear weapons, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.

The poll, conducted Sunday through Wednesday, found that 57% of Americans favor military intervention if Iran’s Islamic government pursues a program that could enable it to build nuclear arms.

Support for military action against Tehran has increased over the last year, the poll found, even though public sentiment is running against the war in neighboring Iraq: 53% said they believe the situation there was not worth going to war.

The poll results suggest that the difficulties the United States has encountered in Iraq have not turned the public against the possibility of military actions elsewhere in the Middle East.Bush ratings sink in latest poll

Bipolar factoid junkie still is unable to understand that most Pakistanis are not interested to follow the Banged Galored IT code coolies. Get your brains out from between your legs, and quit doing Indian Yoga by sticking it up your smelley @ss.

{If IT is so bad, why is Pakistan begging microsoft to come and invest in Pakiland..Why hold exhibitions with the stated purpose of inviting foreign investment in IT?}

IT is not the way forward for Pakistan. Get it. Less than 5% of the US economy is in IT, and there is more to the world than live a frazzled life. Pakistan will be turning towards more traditional economy and a part (only a very small part) of that could be in modern technology.

{sour grapes?} Hardly. Pakistan is an enterprising nation and is humming along just fine.

{If Indians are code coolies, pakis are failures at being code coolies...how pathetic is that.}

Actually, most Americans always asks how pathetic are the Indians?
Now, factoid junkies are unable to comprehend that. And that is the truth.

Hello inbred retard..meet reality..

US cautions citizens to defer non-essential travel to Pakistan
(Updated at 0535 PST)
WASHINGTON: The United States has cautioned citizens to defer non-essential travel to Pakistan amid concerns over ``terrorist`` activity.

Updating a March 2005 travel advisory, the State Department said Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants, particularly along the porous Afghan border region, and other indigenous sectarian and militant groups in Pakistan posed ``potential danger`` to US citizens.

It cited the bombing of McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in Karachi in September last year, resulting in multiple injuries.

This month, a US missile attack targeted at terrorists on a village near the Afghan border killed 18 civilians, triggering protests across Pakistan.

Bipolar factoid junkie:

Did you have your morning bowel movement? Or is it oozing out of your mouth? Go get on to the railroad tracks as your spiritual leader Gandhi suggested.

Most people in the world pray early in the morning, but you people worry about your early morning bowel movement. Go get it done.
