I fail to understand the debate that is going on here about the presence of Indian soldiers in Pakistani jail. If India says there are Indian soldiers in Pakistani jails, then of course, there must be. Why exactly are Pakistanis attempting to ask India for proof, for names, for an explanation of what Pakistan would gain from keeping POWs for so long.

It is useless to debate a point that has already been unilaterally decided. If India says Pakistan did something, then it should be taken as a given that Pakistan did it. This is the civilised way to handle situations and conflicts in South Asia. It will result in all of us become better people and friends. Legalities or logic should be avoided.

So, Guess Who`s coming to dinner? It`s the Pakistanis. Who`s Afraid of Virgina Wolf? Of course, the Pakistanis. And Who shot Potakango? Indians don`t need to tell me, I know, Pakistan did. And, Look Who`s Talking? Its always the Pakistanis. And of course, my favorite, Who framed Roger Rabbit? Guilty as charged, it was us Pakistanis.

All Pakistanis must bow to the great Oracle, L.K. Advani. All Indians have already bowed to him.

I spent a few months with a Pakistani Commando unit in Peshawar. One thing I noticed about them was that when they got angry, it was attack, and more attack. Whether they were killed, was a secondary issue. Musharraf is the senior most member of Pakistan Army`s Special Forces. So far, he has only shown his sophisticated Muhajir cultured face. I hope Indians, like myself, are praying, he doesn`t lose his cool, and turns into a Pakistani Advani. One side needs to maintain its sanity, to avoid war.

In an Indian Pakistani war, believe me, there will only be losers, no winners. There are many Pakistani soldiers who are missing in action, also. Are they still in Indian POW camps? Please stop your nonstop, illegal, lacking in proof, arrogant, and holier than thou accusations.

“….and studebaker is certainly creative.”

…ahem…well, that’s one way of putting it…

DRUMZ

{I am a mountain. I am tall tree. I am a swift wind - sweeping the country...

I am a river, down in the valley. Oh I am a vision, and I can see clearly.

If anybody ask u who I am, Just stand up tall, look em in the face and say...

(((who wants 2 sing back up?)))

Im that star up in the sky, Im that mountain way up high. Wait a minute: Im the worlds GREATEST.

And Im that little bit of hope, when my back`s against the ropes. I can feel it: Im the worlds GREATEST.`` }

….such humility….i’m sure you’ve made rkelly proud…:)

There is a better way for South Asians: being honest.

Prem,

Who`s Lajwanti?

I actually know what ABCD means; I used to find it as amusing as FOB, (not so ha-ha) but its the curse words I`m somewhat fascinated by...my Ummi Jan has been scandalized by some of the words I`ve been running by her...``We did not raise you to use such words!`` she scolds. She also thinks my online manners have worsened in the last eight monthes; sigh, perhaps she`s right...on the other hand, she was amused by some of the Pinkyfeld installments...the struggle between good and bad manners continues...

How are you, btw?

[Bow Wow! Moooooooo!!!! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]

Will you please choose just one of these species to have sex with? Thanks.

No. Not both of them. No way!

Ayaz Amir says:

``But in resisting aggression let us be guided by the spirit of Hamas``

Ha Ha Ha!

``Soon I shall be sending a request to GHQ to be allowed to join the colours should hostilities be forced on us. Air Defence, my parent arm, is now more sophisticated than it was in the relatively primitive times of 1971. I would not be much good for it now (not that I was much good for it then). Should my request be accepted, an infantry battalion, preferably where the weather is not too cold, would do just fine``

.................................................

I hope he is accepted, and I hope he gets a bullet right between his eyes to save us from his pompous ramblings.

Ever seen a Paki jumping? Read his column, it is hilarious.

Romair is beginning to lose it too. This is bringing back bad memories of their humiliation at the hands of weak cow dung eating hindoos. These titans of men, the Punjabi Mussalman, greatest warriors since Sparta etc etc etc

hahaha

We can vouch for Romair here. When a pakistani commando unit gets ANGRY...boy! you better watch out.

In the Dacca POW camp...I remember once they got ANGRY. All of them started using the mess hall...instead of the toilet...for a week...all 93,000 of them.

In order to provide an example of the kind of abuse that is NOT posted at Chowk, we have posted a response below by Zico.

Chowk Staff requests interactors to stop personal and abusive attacks. Further posts with abusive attacks on interactors will not be validated. That means that a similarly abusive response to Zico will NOT be validated. We request interactors that they DO NOT respond in kind--either here or at any other board. Their posts can not be validated under Chowk interact guidelines.

re: Chowk Staff # 136

I have no idea what sexual references add to our discussions here. All that such uncalled-for references do is to arouse either laughter, mirth, and merriment, or disgust, anger, and revulsion, depending upon which side our sympathies lie.

So, whatever you guys do, develop some goddamn consistent policy, and apply it fairly across the board.

If you (don`t) allow X to lace his/her posts with demeaning sexual references, (don`t) allow it also to Y.

If X makes unwarranted references to Y`s sexual organ, Y has a perfectly legit right to explain how he will use that sexual organ on X and X`s family. Quit being so fukcing squeamish about it if you allow people to go down that dirt road.

re: saminashah # 132

``Who`s Lajwanti?``

Khuda aapko Lajwanti jaison se door rakhe.

Those Pinkyfield installments were absolute gems. I hope we will have some more of those soon.

``struggle between good and bad manners continues...``

And I hope no one side wins out completely. Indeed, that would be awfully boring. Aap jaisee hain, achhi hain. If I say anything more, that would scandalize Ummi Jaan further (which in itself may not be a bad idea).

``How are you, btw?``

This is what scares me :) I couldn`t be happier. A well-deserved break after months of hard work, company of close and delightful friends, a MaiKaLalJaikishan ``teaching`` me how to dance, another Bruce Lee wannabe trying (unsuccessfully) to match his Karate chops with mine, salacious gossip about all and sundry, pitiless ribbing, empty, shameless chatter, teary-eyed reminiscences about days bygone and loves lost, insterspersed with some heavy-duty reading, making plans for the future, cool-crisp air outside, and physical exercise!

The only imperfection in this sea of perfection? It will all end in a few days, and I will be back into the belly of that beast - work :)

That is my dukh katha (tale of sorrow). How about you?

Mfarooqui: I responded to u on the american thread. It was probably ``lost or currupted`` or maybe very abusive. Take ur choice. Chowk editors........

Semi: LOL Humility is a dis-ease.

Sincerely, DRUMZ (the worldz GREATEST).

``U wanna conversate with the writer of the Quran? The old Testament? Don`t Test the man.``

``Chowk Staff requests interactors to stop personal and abusive attacks. Further posts with abusive attacks on interactors will not be validated.``

Okay, I will be nice this post only (Prem said it all).

This whole thing about u guyz being the morality police is funny at best. Lets face it, u editors are the kings of this site, and as such can include/disclude whatever...

But the minute u try to rationalize ur actions... Its transparent. Why the hell do people need to be censored? Ah because all of us havent been socialized (roboticized) like the chowk editors. Some of us get angry and do all sorts of nasty things like ``name calling`` (--The 20th century bogeyman). I guess that makes us Human (why am i explaining this to computer people???). We should learn to disagree like our kings, the chowk editors. Think and act like them, otherwise we aint welcome. Right?

We`re like 16 year girls who cant even read our own posts cuz they havent been proofread by our mommies, LOL... When u let 600 people name call and stop with some Zico fool and make an example outta him, the rest of us thinking folk say somethings up... The pathetic thing is that u guyz will never admit ur wrong or in error cuz u`d be percieved as inconsistent - or worse, human.
