Dr. Bari\'s Toothache

Was that funny? Must be!
Optimism in a Pessimistic World
Posted by Adroit Jun 29, 2006 08:16 am
right, and what do u suggest for spatial temporal realities? I didn`t see a frantic statement about that in the article.
And you start off with an interesting case in the first sentence, but then all through the article you don`t provide a single argument for or against it and suddenly out of, well whatever you have written between the beginning and the end, a saintly conclussion jumps out. I think a couplet would have done more justice here than the above string of thoughts.

did anyone ever tell you that this poem is `pretty pointless` with laboriously chosen words that make it too artificial?
Structuralist and Post-Structuralist Criticism
Posted by Adroit May 13, 2006 10:58 am
Well, there isn`t anything particularly wrong with this article. I support this young lady in her defence against a pretty envious allegation of `cutting and pasting.`

Now, two short comments about the article. Dearly, you seem to be jumping quite carelessly in this very debatable issue about claiming so easily that `Plato was a moralist.` Whatever happened to giving some thought to those who find in him ambiguities fatal to Plato`s case against his opponents?! And believe me if you pay attention, there are many. But one could give you some levy for not considering this issue about pure-philosophy of Ethics while writing about literary theory.
Secondly, this article seems quite like a cursory `sight-seing tour` of Structuralism and Post Structuralism. I say this `cuz I didn`t find any of your own views about these theories. You do realise that philosophy is not only about describing other people`s views, its mainly to suggest- if one is able to- one`s own views.
But while I am at it, i did like you mentioning Hazrat Khansaa to the `oh i am so clever` wanabes of this website. I can assure you most of them won`t even understand half of anything about actual philosophy or the issues they murmur about. Muger kia kijiay kay poora jahan taba-azmai per tula hai ajkal!!!

Anyhow, you are doing well.

Good day to you!

I don`t understand! Does this weaken the glaze of a candle? You lie.

:) You are a sweet little one! Very rarely does on get to read innocence published in its true form.
The Alternative Muslim Identity

Useless!!!
Depressed Anarchism usually gives rise to such surmises as your thoughts in this article. What surprises me is that what you postulate isn`t quite the case save an effort to shift a belief system to your extremely well thought of negative tropism. How could you not have seen this from the veil of your, shall we say, oeil perspicace!

...The echo is the call itself,
if you can solve the puzzle!
Uproar over a Cartoon?

how lovely! we don`t mind being called `pets` anymore. How sensitive :) and ..(able!). But you see even the-other-western-countrymen like Blair hate being called the same pet that angered pakistanis.
You surely have some insight into nothing!

...Speakest thou with a veil of humility,
Is this thy real face?
Or be it another scurrilous scruple?
...This thwart thing betwixt us twain,
That nothing sedates!

`Haya!` Ever heard of the phrase in urdu and persian?

And for the most intellectual editors of this website! Well ofcourse they are going to let you write anythign you want, this ofcourse is the most egalitarian website for intellectuals, isn`t it?
The first time I quit
Posted by Adroit May 21, 2005 10:20 am
I stopped reading all this hogwash after the first line!
Woman! could you be more pathetic? I mean what r you trying to prove with all this **** that comes out of you? Do you really think its useful?
And the `intellectuals` of this website- all boasting the medals they have achieved so far or disturbed freaks- read all of this? Well if they do then i pitty them.
But ofcourse you wouldn`t mind a critique of this sort now, would you? Since you are a `free` and an established writer-how lovely when ppl call u a writer or with other brilliant names ;P
Goodluck with the anonymous ride of peasants!
Regards,
not-quite-Adroit!
