you are as hate filled as the the mindset of those you criticize. You might as well pour out all the filth and hate that you are carrying within your soul! Why, on earth, I am I wasting my time bothering to respond to you!
Shanti!

Pardaisi,

We could have left the pakistanis alone, if only the jihadis are not spreading across the world. The other day I was talking to a PIA engineer, he was telling that PIA workshop wanted to ikmport a vacuum heat treatment furnace and the americans will not allow it. There is already a technology denial regime, this will be tightened, there are leass students going to the US for studies, and more are forced to come back. Countries like kuwait have banned the pakistanis.

In the technology field pakistan is on a viscious downward spiral. No pardesi, we cannot leave pakistanis alone, simply because of jihad. Take it from me, the war on terror is a war on jihad, and pakistan being the training ground for jihadis, pakistan is in the cross hairs.

Post an article telling that pakistan should bann jihadic trainings, and wait for the ISI to shoot you. Pakistan has tremendous responsibility at this juncture, the war is on jihad and hence against a closely held and revered islamic idea, and pakistan being a country created for islam pakistan has to lead the way.

Unfortunately pakistan is not doing this. All this eyewash on osama, and the tribals will not be accepts for long. When the international troops reach every part of afghanistan, there is only one place for osama, and the world knows it. We know it now and that is why we cannot leave pakistan alone.

Hopelessness,

Yet another example of the social decay in pakistan. In india the top IIMs charge around 40,000 for the program, many get scholarships to offset the fees. The selection is based on merrit, even in private colleges.
In pakistan where every thing is prostituted, there is no wonder that education has also gone the same way. Thonk of the educated like tahmed talking about jihadis as the outcome of US intervention, and blaming the US. They cannot see the pak mind set of prostitution. Now once again, paid by the US, the pak soldiers are killing the jihadis.

It is sad, but there is no way out. One has to look at the fundamentals, one has to bannish the TNT and its heros. Till that is done , till those photos in govt offices are burnt, there is no hope for pakistan.

yes you are right, just to tell u i am a computer science graduate from a reputable university of its time, when is was in undergrad that is 3-4 years back the sum (fee) was not even earable by me but We did that.
now when i go to my university it seems like there are more dumbs then any serious ppls, those ppl have more money then they have brains.
the teachers didnt like the new univ. but they cant do anything.. u kow why is that.. as the board is interested in making money .and they did compromise on quality...over everythin g...(the board is consistent of mainly the big names)
this is all about status qou and comprimising for wrong things.. we compromise over quality..(in all fields....), once we came out of the thing things will change drastically.

fees is higher because we pay it...if whole univ. dont pay it for one semester, they will definitely go down... they will think of alternatives.. they cant simpley kick out whole of class.. can they... no they cant...



we need to change the system the culture....
