Anil writes "Massaddi Mian:

You have condemned your mind to the life imprisonment to this par course."

Learn to write one straight sentence in English then we can talk about "imprisonment". Those entrapped by their ignorance, as your good (evil) self, cannot possibly know anything about freedom.

Re: #113

Because the truth always hurts. However, a friend of mine, a Yusufzai Pathan, once said about Shinwaris that the only reason why they wouldn't sell their mothers for gold is because no one would buy a woman that ugly. The funny thing was that he was an extremely well educated and cultured man, a complete liberal by Pakistani and most other standards; however, he had no use for Shinwaris....;

[.. even when you die you might have to pay a fee to find a spot in an overcrowded graveyard ..]

Well paying a price for a service is okay. I wanted to know how much exactly do these various political parties charge, but as usual you skirted the question. If Zardari's charges are 10% for all projects in Pakistan, then what would Alt-F's gangsters charge?

A few years ago the illustrious short-cut Aziz was trying to rob the steel mill. Now what percentage would that be? And how much do these current day robbers get by their privatizing of Pakistani infrastructure?

BTW, have you heard from your favorite Shaikh Rashid? is he still in hiding? he may eventually join Nawaz? do you know? I hope we don't get a long post from your clueless friend.

Re: # 114

Massaddi Mian:

While at it, why don't you point out the wrong in the sentence and whether you got the message or not?

"You have condemned your mind to the life imprisonment to this par course."

Which part you really are struggling to understand, in the above sentence?

I could have said "your beautiful mind", which would be indeed more accurate.

You fight a rear-guard action to push your regressive thoughts. The worse is that you delude yourself into believing that you are gaining popularity. In your web-sites you derive solace by justifying today's problem of one society by comparing with the yesterday's problem in other societies. You change no one's mind with such comparisons, those who, like you, believe in it, do not need your web-site.

Many on the Chowk will assure you that if you or anyone can find written or verbal authority in Today's India regarding Sati, that book will be banned, and that person will be in jail.

Just please grow up. It is not about absolutism, and it is not about the finality of thought/knowledge or messegnger. It is about ability to reason on one end to ability to define truisms that lay foundation of belief system on the other. I know you understand what I just wrote. Especially, if you could take the trouble of using mathematician Godel to prove finality and absolute authority of Koran through your constipated argument of self-reasoning.

You know the hollowness of your belief system. You are unable to move beyond 7th century to Mills par course, because you have imprisoned your mind, which indeed is beautiful when it is not abusive. Since I started pointing out, atleast your abuse has indeed gone down. All I can say my words are having some positive effect on you.

I have hope for 2008. Happy new year, Massaddi Mian.

hamidm #104 Maybe you should start dozing off during the day - a 10 minute nap after lunch works better than smelling the coffee in order to see the light (to mix metaphors).

Anyway, looking back at years of interaction on chowk, I am convinced you and I live in parallel universes. I live in the universe where Pakistan's lota is full. You live in the universe where Pakistan's lota is empty. So, I suggest we average it out and agree that Pakistan's lota is half full and half empty. Do we have a deal?
