that is not it Med911.
I think you guys have become increasingly touchy about the situation in your country and the one and only avenue that seems left for you guys is to compare yourself, whether it applies or not, to India and things Indian.
And when Indians happen to express an opinion about Pakistan, you go ballistic.
To the extent that many of your lives seem calibrated only in terms of India - here are some examples
when you lose 10 matches miserably it doesnt matter as long as India doesn't win
when you lose international cricket from Pakistan it matters less as long as it goes out of India as well
when 20 bombings occur in Pakistan it seems it matters less as long as one occurs in INdia
Why?
Fair enough...
I would contend that as per the Pak vs India threads go, 90 percent of the forum members do not even involve themselves in such debates. I do so more for the entertainment value:D
As for this thread, I think its meant to be a joke more the anything else.
This reminds me of an interesting article by Jawed Naqvi, which you should read at www.dawn.com He said an interestng thing. Being an Indian, he says that Pakistanis are able to laugh at their leaders, Indians seem to be so afraid of offending that the shy away from such things.
So I think this is meant to be an indirect jab at Zardari, which u Indians misinterpreted.
Its my experience that Indians are far more touchy for some reason. Indians are not only touchy but also quite bitter. Simple example which I cite often is the treatment of Pakistanis in India, compared to the treatment of Indians in Pak.
Have you ever heard of an Indian in Pak being attacked by Pakistanis, or being denied a room in a hotel?!?
Pakistan and India are natural rivals, noting will change that. So if there is a comparison to be made, its between the two.
Cricket is hardly a good example. The fact that you cite criket matches just shows who is the more bitter and sensative you Indians are. Cricket matches arent to be taken seriously. Its good humored rivalry. If I say Pak team can beat India any time of the day, its not serious, it just good humored rivalry.
Other comparisons are made only in the midst of a debate with Indians. If you look on the Pak affaris forum, you will notice that in no thread related to any bombing, does any member say "its ok, its happens in India aswell!"
The cmparisons begin when an Indian starts a thread or makes a comment in such a thread.
And at the end of the day, its you guys who are here debating on a Paistani forum, not the other way around. No matter how you spin things, It not us going to Indian forums.
And whether you admit it or not, if Pakistanis were as defensive as you claim, the entire forum would be after you, instead of the few gupies who actually do.
I can guarantee you however that if I were on an Indian forum, all the members would be attacking me, and would be far nastier.
