Media: Defining Roles wanderer: yes -- true, globalisation, inequities due to power play of economies, they all add to and are a cause of such inequality and irresponsibility on the part of media houses. HOWEVER, one cannot ignore individual journalists and advertiesers who have made THIs very system even more entrenched. Then again, I realise that it sounds like a bit of a contradiction, does media SHAPE society or REFLECT it...it really does both...at times, media can bring a revolution in the thinking of the people and at other times (such as these...in Pakistan), it just reinforces set ideas.

Saminasha: thank you ...im sort of in the middle of a research on gender portrayals and their effect on children....talkign to kids at the moment....shall post it once done.

teshah: i didnt get your point. I hope you had one.

Graffiti Christ II: The Resurrection floaters.....
as always, i somehow dont tire of NFP`s writing.......

the god couple....
ok.

Feeling Good definitely feeling good....lets hope Sushma Suraj and her whole campaign against the `foreign` PM doesnt affcet anything within the new government. Thumbs up to Congress and a potentially improved Indo-Pak peace process.

Free Javed Burki Re: mr. awan

i didnt SIGN the last post....do you get that????
or the post before that...or the one before that!!
i SIGNED the first post, hence the NAME>....

as for the ``facts``.....ill face them....didnt need to your advice for that.

no more posts from me.
good luck touting NAB`s achievements.

Free Javed Burki re mr. awan

my SIGNATURE ID is zebunnisa

thats why theres no burki attached to it....
i didnt sign my name on the last post.......hence, no burki.


im sorry i didnt get that little dig abt zebunnisa street.....etc etc.

you AGAIN repeated the same charges, mr. awan
please do enlighten me further by EVERYTHING written by NAB against mr. burki

dina, good for you!...im glad you wrote this, and to be honest, youre better of without him.

Free Javed Burki re: mr. awan

youre repeating ALL the charges of the NAB, nothing new in that...you can write them down, paste them, scream them out....your choice.

regarding mansoor-ul-haq....i dont understand how he is related to this case...considering there are thousands others who are on the NAB list and who have remained generals and admirals...nothing to do with javed burki.

and i dont think ANYONE got impressed by mr. burki`s army connections....if you think his dad was ``SIMPLY`` a gen in the medical corp., then its sad for you, theres nothing simple abt being anything...shows your own mentality.

Re: mr. aamir
no this article is not the only thing that made me think abt the system....just started visiting chowk....and this article caught my eye..thats all..

i DO believe, however, that NAB is resorting to extra-constituional means to make money and i stand by it...youre all welcome to your opinions....
HOPEFULLY time will tell.

Re: sobia....OFCOURSE its abt the money...paise de dein tau kaam bann jaye ga....he has no money so hes in jail..langushing away
and mr awan...please try and read up on all this, charge-sheet har koyee parh leta hai
read up on the history of the case,,abt how some khakis got pissed off abt the club...
thers lots more in this.

Living Abroad oh please.....


PLEASE grow up....i mean, did you honestly think you were going to another pakistan....????

its another country.....with another CULTURE.

Free Javed Burki yes, and i thank him again.

if the only reason ppl can come up with is that USUALLY the nab is right abt something, and that the BURKI khaandan should get caught (NO RATIONALE FOR THIS), then i thank him ONCE more for atleast bringing this ``little`` debate out so its clear how ......naive(?). narrow-minded and petty most people are....

oh and nice to see ppl talk abt ``hanging, nuking, killing, lynching`` ... without a seconds thought to the actual meaning of the words.

THANKYOU

Free Javed Burki re: dullabhatti #6

yes, its a pathan tribe.

re: sac # 7

sure, go ahead....typical...isnt it?....
ABSOLUTELY no facts, no reason..randomly writing just bec you want to..make a CASE for the hanging...give facts, issues, highlight it all before calling a whole family or any member theives.

Also, not performing well in your job doent not amount to corruption,
sure, it may mean you werent good, but putting you in jail for not being competent is defintely not the right we give to any State.

Free Javed Burki THANKYOU for this.
its a pity no one bothers to write about such injustice and after the initial outbursts even the press has gone mum. one wonders how many ppl will be nabbed before ppl sit up and take notice.
