#170/171 Posted by queen_cut_paste,

LoL ... I am NOT a literalist ... Haha ... I just apply the Occam's Razor to every written word!

Yeah I'm impressed with the 'group' of 'one' person ... :)

Re: # 167
On the contrary your comments may further inflate the inflated egos.zemax in#169 is a prime example.

Re: # 168 just as you seem to know your religion y heart they know the constitution

... but you're wrong with this:

2. the zeemax group - the literalist group who know the real thing but are literalist

I am the ONLY one in this category. Name another one!

#165 Posted by queen_cut_paste,

Lawyers are the zeemaxes of the country - they know constitutionality

Haha! Queenie. Thanks. I'm honored to be grouped with the Lawyer's movement!

five groups lets call them

1. hamidm2 group (the fauji types - realistic modernising types)

2. the zeemax group - the literalist group who know the real thing but are literalist

3. the urstruly types - the relativist realistic relgious types

4. the tahmed32 types - the ultra-silently-religious types

5. the salim types - the newbees with a ruler syndrome - the ones that can cause mayhem

you have these five types in pakistan.

one would want to put the tahmed32 types either into loony bins for treatment or into monasteries where no one can find them or interact with them. They are the dreamy, ambiguous ones and can be dangerous to the nations health

you will put the zeemax types and the salims behind bars. the zeemax types in perpetuity as they are the most dangerous kind while the salimtypes for the time they donot repent (they will very quickly mark you)

the urstruly and the hamidm2 can do business and move the country forward.

the Lawyers are the zeemaxes of the country - they know constitutionality, but are effing literalists and are essentially loose cannons. loose cannons need to be tied down and hidden away. Along with them the other religious literalists

the MQMs, zardaris, the nawas are the salim types - you can do business with them, but you need to put them in a dark room and show them the error of their ways.

the Hamidm2s (ak the faujis) and the urstruly's (the religiously realistic ones) should start ball rolling. SInce they both are realistic but are waiting for the other to ask them onto the dance floor - before the start mooching and ending up in the same seedy hotel room

The solution to the problem.

Urdu Speaking are in real trouble with leadership like this.

re: tahmed32
You seem to be a tad angry at Mohajirs any particular reason.

Regards,

Faruk

Re: # 156


I know that Englishman story and it goes like this...


If it was a Monday then the dog was.....NS,

If it was a Tuesday then the dog was Iftikhar Chaudhry

If it was a Wednesday, the the biatch was AZ

If it was a Thursday, then the mutt was IK

If it was a Friday, then the stray was Maulvi Diesel.

And Saturday Sunday, the Englishman was the dog.
