Goodbye Free Speech.

I guess Interaction section needs moderation once again. All the useless peoples who can`t log in to their respective sites due to entrance fees are commenting here.

It is fortunate that Pakistan still has got people like Prof. Hoodbhoy who are brave enough to expose HEC`s much publicised reforms. In my opinion, instead of making an angry reply, the HEC should be publishing critical comments made on its reforms made by a senior academic, with explanations offered subsequently. To how far extent HEC is affected by Prof. Hoodbhoy`s analysis of its reforms I remain unsure, but it was indeed revealing for many silent observers who trust and believe in comments coming from a person of high academic and scientific integrity.

Any reason why the latest hindi film from that pak-kissing, cheap, bollywood producer mahesh bhatt failed?.Methinks it`s `cause of a hawk nosed , high cheek boned pak witch with man-lips. And, these paks can`t even feed themselves and they have the b*lls to talk about other endeavors.A kilo of onions in India Rs5.00.A kilo of onions in pak Rs.45.00.I rest my case.Let them import onions , garlic and tomatoes from er, kazakhstan.Kazkhstan doesn`t grow any either!!.hAhA.

Hyuk! Hyuk!! Hyuk!!!

I CANT believe this!

Hello, ``computerised`` Chowk!
Is anybody awake in there?!!!

I guess it must be the genious we handsome brahmins have been humbly endowed with!

Its a fact; yaar!
Google it; if you dont believe me!
We brahmins from Bombay are GOOD!
but we are EXTREMELY humble....

I mean we are so humble, that we just cant stand ourselves!

My dearest & best katlu friend from the wrong side of the border, Umair-mian, the most handsomest Kashmiri (????Punjabi) from the utopia called Azaaaaaaaad Kashmir (may peace & eternal happiness befall your family & all the good muslim people of Gilgit & Buttfuckedegyptistan);


{{ Don’t quite your day job. You have no future as a comedian…………Leave that to the professionals like hamidm……….. }}

a) I have NO intentions of ``QUITE-ING`` my day job as a shrink in Americistan.

b)I am NOT a comedian
never was, never will be & never had the slightest inclination of being one (though there is a lot of money in it).

c) My only....er ...``sin``... is to tell the TRUTH...bluntly, profanely, brutally honestly & politically & culturally incorrectly.

d)If anybodies feeeeelings are hurt because of my politically incorrect & profane language (even worse; question my...er...`` parental upbringing``)...can kiss my brown brahmin butt...

e) This is how we Bombayites (regardless of religion )TALK......that includes ``40-something`` women from Bombay. Do you think we talk like this in front of our parents, relatives & children?!....Get REAL!! Butt Fakhr!! We can be as hypocritical as the best of them!

f) Come to Bombay FIRST & THEN talk, butthead, about the beauty of Bombay women.

g) QUESTION: what is the difference between a 40-something Punjabi woman from Bombay & a 40-something Punjabi woman from Lahore (AKA...``auntie``)?
ANSWER: 1) The former is married to a man who ISNT circumcised...& PROUD of it! & DOESNT need Viagra as his arterioles arent clogged with gobs of cholesterol.
2) The latter`s husband is a balding pot belied moron who looks more ``pregnant`` than his ever-pregnant wife...
3) The former Puinjabi gal (& hubby) jog in their shorts on Juhu beach & worli seaface, or go to the gym religiously, drink frikking spirulina & carrot skim milkshakes & have only 1-2 children; who get educated in some of the finest colleges in Bombay (which,
with ALL humility, can compete with ANY American college).
4) The former envies her 40-something marathi professional classmate for her dusky good-looks (& shapely boobs & butt to match). The later looks at her Pathan classmate (who, by now, looks like a fair bhains
& has twice as many kids as her Punjabi saheli)...with absolute PITY...
5) I think even an ...er...``intellectually challenged`` Mirpuri/Rajputi?Punjabi?Gilgiti?Kashmiri like you can grasp the point I`m making by now....


As far hamid-mia....NOBODY....but NOBODY...can compete with his wit.

I`m not sure what that drunken bum does for a living...but he would be a HUGE HIT with my ba-ba blacksheep friends from Bombay.

Poor guy`s (just where IS he these days? drunk ; as usual, I`ll bet) bad naseeb was that he was born in The land of the Pure DUFFERS--served in their ``world famous military`` & has been cursing us skinny horrible hindoos to feel better about the nation he said goodbye to .

Tell him to use this physician`s wife`s money & fly down to Bombay (the most incredible city in the desi universe). Hey! Bombay has a bar at every corner & at least 20 ``wine tasting `` clubs that I`m aware of. We`ll chill a fine selection of whites or reds from Tuscony, Sonoma, S. Africa, Chile or the Western Ghats of Maharsthra. Ma kasaam my dear Punjabi katlu friends; these Shiv Sena ghati marathas have figured out how to make wine which is....um...saucy, unpretentious, but pretty damned good!

{{“You guys HIT first....& THINK later!!!!”

Anyone who has figured out this characteristic has figured out Pakistanis.}}

My handsome Kashmiri katlu birather..I hate to rain on your parade.
The simple truth is TWO good-looking Kahmiri Brahmins (Nehru & Indira Gandhi) knew that even before independance. How do you think they outwitted EVERY frikking Paki leader who DARED do panga with them
militarily, diplomatically & internationally. Burns you handsome guys...dont it?! :))

{{Asking someone from Pakistan to become a scientist is a like asking a girl from Bombay to become a super-model. }}

Hahahahah!!!
Yo moron!
Like I said, come to Bombay FIRST; see for YOURSELF & then talk!
Like LA...India`s HOTTEST women make a beeline to Bollywood pal...that includes katlu wanna-be Bombay-ites like frikking Meera?Meena...whatever.... from Jihad Central.

Gee...Umair...Paki women are TOO SACRED (er....excuse me....tooo....er ...``shareeef`` to compete with Indian women in the Miss Universe contest.)
You Jihad`s should get a NOBEL PRIZE for making excuses for ducking out of a head-to-head competetion; like a Miss Universe pagent.

OK...by this time...either you are angry enough to be homicidal....
or depressed enough to be suicidal...
I`m truly very, very sorry for hurting your ...er...kutb minar......NOT!!!!!!!!

Even a `not so good` photo of Rai doesn`t compare to the hawk nosed, high cheek boned witches from Pak with pancake make up.The world doesn`t care for hawk nosed high cheel boned witches with pancake make up.The world cares for dusky indian women woth beautiful eyes.Sorry!!.And, two of the world`s top runway models, Diana Hayden and Tara Sharma come to mind(there are more) are blazing trails on the catwalk.Sour grapes again!!.

re:106 rumpus
Quite impolite, unhealthy and diseased person’s attitude!!
I don’t mind, instead, I am feeling pity for an old-aged guy.

#113 by atif2

[Recently an average singer in pakistan, abrar-ul-haq, got married to a girl who is neither an actress or a model. She will most likely be a housewife for the rest of her life. Now lets compare that housewife with the super model of India.]

I can show you any number of housewives in India who look much better than the lady whose pic you posted. This is just no reason to gloat about who is better and who is not. It only goes to show the absurdity of how Pakis feel they are better looking than Indians.

Re: # 113
JanabAtif-mia ji;

Right now Mia Abrar`s wife looks like Madhubala....

Within 9 months, she will give Mr Horny Abrar his first child..
& will look like Madhubala with a double chin, stretch marks & slightly sagging boobs.

Within 10 yrs, Madhubala will be on her 8th child,
sport a triple chin...
have a belly only slightly smaller than Abrar mian`s...
her poor breasts will sag down to knees because of the gallons of milk they have to produce to suckle all those hungry (but handsome) mouths.

By that time; Abrar mian will be getting a nikah with his first cousin Meena Kumari as wife #2.

On his suhaag raat with Meena Kumari, he will summon Madhubala & say :

``O ji Soonte ho!

Meri sapnon ki Raani!!

I have good news for you!!!

I will not be needing your services at least 6 months!!!!


so be a good muslima wife & do some research about the possibility of my 14 yr niece Saira Bano & her 12 yr sister Waheeda Rehman as potential future wife #3 & wife # 4...

On second thoughts; make that only 5 months.. (I`m feeling magnanimous tonite...meri jaan)....

By then my darling Meena Kumari will be pregnant...& I`ll have to impregnate you with our 9th child.....You BETTER give me a SON; this time!

If you do; I will consult with my local mullah & see if he knows whether Ibn Sheik Mustafa Chisti has written a treatise on group sex between a Punjabi muslim & 4 chaste wives. I`m sure SOME great muslim has written a thesis on Islamic Sexology
now that Science has been ``Islamised`` in the Land of the Pure.....

OK; yaaar; sorry...cheap jokes apart.....
Whats YOURE story?; boss?
I mean...as a psychiatrist...
I feel it is my professional duty to tell you that you have some VERY SERIOUS psychological issues...
Ogling another man`s wife INDEED!!!...

My handsome Punjabi birather...
Please forgive me...
but in Indian culture, that is called being...er...
ONE SICK PERVERT!!!!!!!!

#109, Che,
You shouldn`t have included Peshawar or Kohat in that list. :) They prefer Shah Rukh Khan.
Also, where the hell is Charsadda?
