Re: Espresso Lahore protest

Ghost the point we differ on is the issue of obligation. You are making the point that since there is no law there is no obligation on part of the cafe. I am making the point that you have cultural and societal obligations in Pakistan which are considered the norm. And the legal basis of an obligation is a US Centric view point we both know that. In the third world society and culture have a far stronger influence than the law.

And you are throwing up straw-mans as well. Posters have said they have prayed there. So they did consider it a societal obligation. You are arguing a point that the cafe doesn’t even agree with.

I am sorry to say this but you are pulling a diwana. You are making an argument the cafe doesn’t even believe.

I have not stated anything regarding legitimacy of citizenship that is a separate debate. But its a normal conclusion that those who frequent the Express Tribune do have more in common with the average American than the Average Pakistani. Just read the blogs. Everything is a comparison to the US or the UK. How does that apply to the average Pakistan is beyond me.

Gosh I hate saying this but I agree with this post entirely.
