Leadenwinter,

It is by no means proven that YRG and his gang are known and proven criminals. Fondling a (consenting) collegaues boobs in public is no big deal.

The man who was in power before (mushy) OTOH was a certified criminal who is responsible for a military coup (treason punishable by death under Pak laws) and massacre of innocent citizens in FATA and in Lal Masjid.

Regards

re # 31

Testimonials regarding my potency and ability to rip new bodily orifices can be aquired from miscellaneous female members of your immediate and extended family. Ask and Ye shall recieve.

As for your main point which I guess was masked by your ineptitude to state your case in a logical and respectful manner; I agree wholeheartedly with the author that educational restrictions need to be in place to qualify for parliament, however I disagree that not having this restriction in place will allow for criminals to run the country. dumbasses probably, but being a dumbass does not mean you're a criminal.(which is probably why you're still free)

and as to your parting shot; a fallacy. You're inducing a certain conclusion without a supporting premise based on fact. As usual, your uncanny ability to talk out of your ass amazes one and all.
