Re: I don't want my kids growing up in Pakistan...
I beg to differ - if you or any one out here loved him - you wouldn't let a dictator do what he did to him ..... If only 50 million people out of 180 million had been on streets to protest this injustice , this wouldnt happen to him ... he wouldn't be in this sorry state ....
So this love and affection blended with Respected words showed here , is not really helping him at all ...
Zulm ko daik kar chup rehna wala bi zalim hai .... Or pUri pakistani qoam , Dr sb - ki mujrim hai ....
180 million pakistani don't like Zardari either .. are they coming out in the streets ? People are so busy in their lives and struggle to earn for their families that they don't give a damn what is going on .. They feel it, when they have sometime but they can't devote themselves for a cause. How many of us in the very thread love Pakistan and hate zardari? even if its 1 person who has kids would he leave his kids and go to pakistan and protest against zardari?
I think a good analogy is which school you want your kids to go.
One school only has Pakistani students. It is horrendously corrupt and the children of the rich get good grades while the rest suffer. It is mismanaged and there are constant power outages, lack of basic amenities like functioning washrooms and there is no security at all. Girls get harassed, boys get beaten up, the fees goes up constantly, and there is Zero guarantee that once you graduate you will land a job. People who run the school were chosen for their connections rather than competence. The school curriculum teaches a very narrow subject matter.
The other school is a multicultural school filled with all religions and ethnic groups. They teach tolerance, mutual respect, and hard work. Kids who study hard and good grades and get ahead. It is properly managed, there are basic necessities like electricity, functioning washrooms, security which offers parents a peace of mind. Girls hardly get harassed and if they do they can call security and same goes for the boys. Fees does go up but that is balanced by the yearly pay increases of the parents. People who run the school were chosen democratically and based on their competence and expected results. The school curriculum teaches a wide variety of subject matter.
Now if you were a parent which school would you choose? :)
Stereotypes, stereoptypes .. and these are being done by people who aren't been in Pakistan for years. They love to make these statements based on the NEWS channels which shows just corruption and all this. even if 3% of people are corrupt (its not actual number just an example) and the news channel only show those 3% then obviously a person who has never been there would say that 100% are corrupt.
I haven't seen that the life of a man living a mediocre life has been effected by these security issues or whatsoever .. .. even today my friends walk on the roads at night .. even today they do the same fun they used to do 2-3 years ago. Only one of my friend got robbed at gun point but it was the time when he moved to Karachi. Never happend in Lahore/Sialkot/Islamabad etc. As @Mirch mentioned his and his family storied about being robbed and i asked him that i believe he is from Karachi.
Now come to the education system. 2 of the Pakistani students got highest A grades in A level (its either O or A). No one here mentioned about them. As i discussed in my earlier posts that pakistan's education system is corrupt but their curriculum is way better. Specially if you are going to Private Schools .. ..
Now come to the religion perspective. I STRONGLY AGREE with whatever is written about pakistan's youth religious awareness .. .. All the iftars that i have done here, we go to Prayer right after our iftar .. but if you get a chance to have an iftar at lets say Pizza Hut, Lahore .. .. you wud listen songs at iftar time .. guys hitting on girls .. girls passing their numbers to them etc .. .. thats true :)
Again, stop stereotyping .. specially if you haven't been to pakistan for years .. .. and all you know about pakistan is something that you heard from News Channels.
