Re: I don’t want my kids growing up in Pakistan…
So Pakistan’s a craphole and Pakistanis are jahil, ignorant, bloodthirsty people.
Way to uplift the jashn-e-azaadi spirit.
A standing ovation for the residents of Pakistan for surviving in the worst place on the planet surrounded by the worst people on the planet.
/sarcasm.
And then you lot get so darn angry when Pakistan people stereotype us foreigners of being behaya and whatnot.
Life is what you make it. Your puttar cannot dare look down on women if you embed it into his little brain that everyone is equal. Your daughter will not be deprived of education or career opportunities if you make her a strong woman. They will not be immature at adulthood if you teach them how to fend for themselves. And if you’re telling me that this isn’t going to work because of the way the society is, then I guess my daughter is going to get pregnant at the age of 15 and my son’s going to be addicted to Guinness if I bring them up in Ireland!
I’m not refuting anything else that’s been said in this thread about social injustice, crime rate, no safety, corruption etc. That is all bitter but true. And I’m not at all disappointed that people don’t want to live in Pakistan especially amidst terrorism n all. Obviously that is everyone’s personal preference and no one has a right to tell them otherwise. But the way ye painted all Pakistanis with the same brush didn’t sound very nice. And no it’s not the bitter truth because I’m not an alien to the country, I’ve been to a bazillion villages as well as the most developed cities of the country and I don’t remember knowing anyone who condones anything that I condemn.
No, the nation isn’t perfect but hey they’re struggling to survive in the extremely difficult conditions, give them a break! I know I won’t be able to spend a day in the conditions that the majority of the poverty-stricken nation lives in so I’m not going to sit here and question them as to why they aren’t thinking inqilaab when they have a million other things to be worried out such as where to get roti for the family today..

If the title was “would you like to move back to Pakistan”. my answer would be yes, but the question is about my kids. That is one point where no parent think of patriotism more than of the safety and well being of their kids. Yes I love Pakistan, but I love my kids 1000 times more. Bitter truth but reality. Just like every sane parent living on this planet, I have right to pick the safest spot on this planet for my kids. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, Pakistan is not amongst the list of such spots.
