code red you are right we shouldnt bad mouth one's country of origin, but tell me honestly why is there so much corruption in pakistan, why isnt anything being done. If a country that has no law and order and majority of its employee in that sector takes bribes and participate in its downfall , than there is no hope for such a country.
What you mentioned above is true and I can tell you that it happens for 2 reasons
1) Pakistanis living in Pakistan have no love for their country
2) Pakistanis living in Pakistan have no fear of God so they can do whatever they feel like doing
I am not saying that every Pakistani is like the above but unfortunately the majority are like that
yes unfortunately majority of the ppl in power are like that...and you are so right ppl must not have any love for their country nor their god.
sara 87 unfortunately we cant paint it any other ways...i know most of the countries in this world have their share of problems but pakistan seems beyond help sometimes.
heart is where the home is.
in ur case, just like in many Pakistani youth's case - we are divided - we have what my Turkish Professor calls in his identity research in Muslim youth, "hyphenated" selves and we lead our lives as such.
i say, good and bad is every where.
u have to study, and earn a decent living every where.
if u were not born in America or whereever u are, and u were born in Pakistan,
only Pakistan is ur country - really.
u are in the adopted country, to make good impression, genuine friends, learn good things, leave good vibes behind u and then move back.
Or u can live half year back home, half yr here.
be creative and know that u should have a core set of parameters regarding why and where ur affinity lies (is laid).
can't wait to go back, i'll have to go through the pain of missing home country for at least 5 more years.
I miss swimming in nehr and eating roti with achar under a tree, taking care of bahans (Buffols) and all those punjabi sports (guli danda, peetho goalgrm etc.)

Venting out your frustration with huge exaggeration.
Yeah, you are right. thats all because of me. SHOOT ME Dammit
Ok, I am in no mood of giving excuses, but listen tiger
There is not only one country that is in mess. Many countries which possess precious natural resources (unlike Pakistan) are in deeper Sheyt. Ever heard of Vanezvela and Nigeria, now gooogle and find out their rank in oil producing countries. There dilema is huge, inspite of billions of dollar earning every year there people live in worse condition than most third world countries.
Corruption is a norm here because of poverty, low standard of life; it is not a “national game” in any way, as most of you love to assume. You pay good salaries, no one is corrupt here. One fine example :
Normal Police is corrupt to the bones in pakistan. You talk to the “common” people 95 % would say they never had any good experience with them
On the other hand, Highway petrol is honest, dedicated and very helpful. You talk to “common” folks 95% of them would say they always had a good experience with highway police, they are first one to reach the spot and treat with with respect and provide you all sort of support possible
Despite all ills, There is one country, towards which all 57 Muslim countries look when they need a representative.
There are many social evils in pakistan. It is not going to change a great deal anywhere in near future. If you don’t like it then leave it. and go to the place which makes you content. Never ever think of comming back to Pakistan for good Be grateful to the nation which is offering you good life and be loyal to them :k:
hm..i am not from pakistan, i have never been to pakistan, and i have never really seen pictures from pakistan..but some of the posts made me really really worried..i had a brighter picture of it in my head.. :(
Its tough for someone from outside to adjust there, me for instance, but I think I could do it, but I hate mosquitos and dirty roads and stalkers and no electricity, these are just silly excuses, I dont mind moving there, cuz I would love to attend psfd and we live in defence there so its pretty good, no money problems or anything, I am happy here or there but I guess education wise I am here, but psfd.

I think the only time I would consider living in Pakistan is if there is full blown persecution of Muslims in the West.
.
If and when that starts what makes you think you will be allowed to leave
in one piece meaning alive.. remember holocaust .. Bosnia .....
