Masadi,

due to your constant whining, we have decided to support your application for an American visa.

We promise to facilitate your rehabilitation and subsequent release back into the wild.

Take care and don't bite anyone as it may be contagious.

Viewer writes "After all, millions of books are written every year that only desereve to be binned and if you contributed to that junk who cares.
"

And without reading any of it how did you come to the conclusion you miserable dimwit (PH hiding behind the viewer nick and tooting your own horn). Unlike you and PH, my report on the state of education in Pakistan was circulated among all universities in Pakistan, my books 8 years after publication, a couple of them, rank higher on amazon several times a year than even the mainstream books after 2 years, people here respect my writings and I have changed multiple lives. You on the other hand are a sellout a-hole, have no clue about social structure leave alone the structure of our society and pontificate using your BS and now lacking the balls to reveal yourself hide behind the viewer nick- Hoodbhoy go F yourself!

A pelletron accelerator for research on nuclear and particle physics? This must go down as one of the best jokes in science history books.

It is indeed an irony, the way these hard earned billions have gone down the drain. Everybody knows the fate met by the Cockraft Walton accelerator installed at CASP, GCU Lahore, and that was just a donation, but nobody learnt a lesson. Their focus seems to be on sheer quantity while no significant enhancement in quality of research being conducted in Pakistan is visible. Heck, i'd say it's rather deteriorated over recent years.

The a-hole writes "I confirm that Pakis are indeed stupid and pliargism is a norm there even at the highest level, and Dr Atta ur Rehman is definitely not an exception. After all, he claims to have written sixty books and hundreds of research articles. Who knows and who have the courage to ask him how much pliargism he himslef has done...."

And how do you know all this, let us have access to your research and your scales of "stupidity" which you have deciphered using a cross section random sample of the Pakistani population to conclude that "pakis are indeed stupid and plagirism is the norm" Further, just because someone has written 60 books does not mean he has plagirised them. A-holes like you who make big claims without any evidence or even an attempt at evidence contribute to the tabloid "shit" that is produced by the tons every year. The luxury of elitist basic science" for the sake of curiosity at the expense of public funds, at public institutions of higher learning just cannot be tolerated when the basic needs of the public are not being met. Every newbie fool who starts posting here having not a clue about anything, let alone "science", and making unscientific generalizations, thinks he's God's gift to humanity. You kind are a dime a dozen here, you think people think highly of your sh**.

Re: # 58

Masadi,

If your book is so well read, can you provide the name so that we all can benefit.

Skip this request if the book is about suicide wests, which no doubt changes peoples lives.

Re: # 60

masadi,

The core values of a society are reflected in all aspects of its workings.

Pakistan is a totally corrupt society, the latest example of thsi whole sale corruption is the way the NAB was set up, thousands of people harassed and now all of the cses have been withdrawn.

If that is the standard at the highest level, and accepted by all in the society including the legal fraternity with out a wimper, why should the academics have a higher standard.

You can see that on chowk, the educated elites of pakistan the likes of tahmed, zeemax and you are so fond of using abusive language and is an indication of how you deal with other pakistanis around you on a day to day basis.

Pakistan is a corrupt society and the academics have to follow the social rule.

Viewer writes "Masadi,

The factual situation is that like me no one bothers what you write or say so please keep on wasting your life.

When PH says something many people, as can be witnessed by the counter records on his articles, read and listen as he has some valid point to us to ponder."

You have no clue about what the "factual" situation is neither do you know about the popularity of my posts here. As far as counters go, they reveal less the number that have read the article and more the interacts of which mine are quite popular- by the comments they ilicit, the counters on my articles published here (depending on the topic) were as high or higher than this counter, check the counter on my profile as well. Regarding "wasting my life"- I have achieved more in it and shared more ideas than you will manage in two lifetimes, nobody gives any importance to PHs BS other than propaganda mainstream networks on which he touts his anti-Islam sentiment. Let us see you produce one decent interact, other than claims, and him produce one decent article other than renarration of the Physics department newsletter and railing against his colleagues, and then we can talk. And don't lie about not reading my posts like tahmed, you read them deligently, and it is not that you just read one and decided to respond to it, after responding to earlier ones. Here this well: you are an a-hole, live with that and your life will keep wasting by itself regardless of your nonsense posts...

Very moved by your hypocritical sensibilities. Most of the dirty language used here is reproduced in the bigotry of Hindus like yourself. The language I use is for the peons of the West who sell out the nation, it is never unprovoked.

Thanks masadi,

I did have a quick look at your website. Good to know that you make a living out of this kind of crap, you are a man of letters, even though they are written backwards in your thinking process.

Good to have you on chowk and hope it will increase your book sales and web traffic.

#70- the only "crap" is in your interact. You cannot make a living writing books that challenge the mainstream status quo. If I decided to make a living out of writing, I'd have starved by now. It is impossible to have read and assessed what is on that website in so short a time period but as usual dishonest bigots like yourself excel in making dishonest generalizations like your friend PH/Viewer, who being a sellout needs to be put on a donkey paraded through Lahore town as kids whip his a$$ with slippers and jeer at him. The guy is a certified sob and looks dog ugly as well...
