Mention not, you Americans make so many mistakes there has to be someone to correct you, hai na? :):)
Billy Joel once sang:
“New York, New York…so good they named it twice”
Now why would they need to name it twice? My guess is in case they forgot what they named it the first time.

You’ve got to give the Americans Some Credit, I mean they did invent Sesame Street.

Yes....Sesame Street is sacred.
Xtreme.. I am a little disappointed in you. It was the English who named it New York after buying it from the Dutch. It used to be called New Amsterdam. The way things are going here, it will soon be named New Jerusalem. By the way, the English left a lot of mess behind. Lucky of us, they didn’t leave Queen’s English behind. Man, I always wonder, how can people talk through their nostrils.

The only thing good about England is the English Chicks, and country Pubs. I will have a pint of lagar please.
Can somebody explain to me the contradictions in American society?
They celebrate the 4th of July as Independence from those dastardly Brits BUT then they celebrate Thanksgiving in November when the Brits first arrived in America!
Their leading founding father George Wasington told his people that they "should have no emotional attachment to any foreign country" BUT every American has a hyphen denoting their pride in a foreign land!
They kicked out the British monarch but have tried for the last 200 years to create their own monarchy - Roosevelts, Kennedys, Clintons, Bush's etc etc
???

It’s an art we’ve perfected. it’s bad enough listening to people say tomaytoes, we don’t want to have to smell them too.
One more thing; those things you call fries - their proper name is chips. The Brits invented chips so what’s the idea of re-naming them? Trying to claim them for yourselves?
You guys probably eat them with mustard as well

malik merey bhai (chacha zaad):
I will love to discuss american imperialistic ventures around the globe with you. Starting from reservation camps for the Indians to Mexican war, to Jim Crowe, to its venture and slaughter in Salvador, to its roasting of civilians with its nukes in WWII, to its mischievous adventures in Iran, vietnam and the list goes on... yes.. lets talk about them all. I am game!! But I also wanna discuss Pakistan and its problems while we're discussing shortcomings... Lets also talk about Pakistan's salughter of thousands of bengalis, the racial divide between the sects which the gov't uses to fill its own pockets, the slaughter of thousands of civilians by the gov't (whichever was in power) of civilians in the 90's in Karachi, and the list goes on. Pakistan has its plate full with domestic problems and if it was economically or politically capable, it would have ventured into foreign land for its own gain. But sadly, its not and therefore is confined to its own land.
Every nation has skeletons in the closet. Every nations' got dirty laundry. But not every nation is on the brink of collapse or economically bankrupt. I wanna talk about problems everywhere but your rhetoric of Jewish this and jewish that, America this and America that, and the most ludicrous of all, somehow Pakistan and other third world countries have achieved more in their little time on earth than America did in 100 or so years is quite amuzing. You consider problems of the west, and especially America, somehow balance out with problems in our own backyard. I don't have a problem with people bashing america, west and their problems, but I do have problem with people unequivically bashing them while their own house is not even in order. Ever heard of the saying, "when you point one finger at others, three are pointing back to you"? Think about this one for a while!!
Anyways, carry on with your mantra of how US sucks, how the west sucks, how the Jews suck and how Pakistan and other Third world countries are on the verge of glory and zenith of prosperity.
One more thing; those things you call fries - their proper name is chips..
abay extreme, you're just jealous that we make better fries than you'z. BTW, try eating them with ketchup rather than mayo. next time... it may help..
Ghalib,
salt 'n vinegar my friend, is the correct accompaniment. You can advise us on chips when i start advising you on donuts and bagels. Poppyseed and onion if I remember right.
Ghalib while I don't disagree with your summary of the history of the USA and the modern problems in Pakistan - this WAS a topic about the USA and NOT Pakistan - you bought that up not anyone else?
Unfourtunately if you have a problem with my ideas then thats TOUGH - I suspect it has a lot to with you having CERTAIN FRIENDS we know of?
Unlike you I have been to Pakistan regularly in my life and I appreciate the problems of my country but people like you (born and raised in the USA I guess?) only see Pakistan as a problem and your only retort to problems in your USA are " Look at Pakistan first... you guys are jealous of the Americans".
Keep on believing that dude because that sort of attitude will only make you blind like most Americans to the global realities.
You landed yourself in it over the Jews a couple of months ago, so I will make it clearer to you again.
This is not just a forum to discuss PAKISTANI issues - there is a forum for that.
We are allowed to discuss international issues as well? Correct me if I'm wrong? There are forums like this one where we can discuss such issues huh dude?
JEWS - you don't like my views or my constantly mentioning them in posts? - which one?
If its the latter what are your views then? - don't be a chicken tell us?
If its the former then do you want me (and others) to stop mentioning (on a daily basis) the M word? the H word?, the S word? - why just the J word?
I have no mantra as you call it I have certain beliefs shared by the MAJORITY of Pakistani's - to which you'll retort "doesn't mean the majority are right".
But I'll tell you CLEARLY I will continue to be CONSISTENT in my beliefs and back them up with the FACTS - if you don't like it beacuse I mention your precious America and your J***** friends then thats tough!
Do you want me to stop airing my beliefs - never! I would rather leave this forum than sacrifice my principles!
I mean no offence to you in anything I say :)
Xtreme, now you are talking like a brand new guy (with a brand new Hair Cut). I agree that Fish and Chips is excellent, and the English invented French Fries, as well as Spanish Omelet, and German Black Chocolate. What else do you expect from a nation that spends 20 hours in the Kitchen? In America, by contrast, every thing is on the go. An Englishman wouldn’t last a day in a fast food restaurant in New York. By the time he will finish serving a Big MaC, it will be the end of Lunch Hour. Speed and England don’t go hand in hand.
I am surprised you return so fast from your haircut? I hope you didn’t get a McUstra?
Malik merey bhai (taya zaad, now):
Two Things:
1) I don't hop scotch between ideologies and believes because so and so is my friend nor do I expect the same in return from, in your own words, "certain friends." When you say this, you pretty much make yourself appear naive, not to mention gullible and it sounds more like you're trying to argue with Junior High kids or politicians. And I am neither! So, pls. get over this complex.
2) Problems are not appreciated! They are dicussed. Appreciation will make them worse!
p.s. one more thing, you have no clue as to when and how often I visit Pakistan so don;t be so quick as to pass judgement. And you're way off on that "born and raised in the USA I guess" mark. try again!
p.s.2 on that jew thread a couple of months back, I thought you agreed with me in the end? What happened now?
Ghalib . You presume things about me and I presume things about you - thats where the misunderstanding comes in dude.
Appreciation/discussion whatever you wanna call it I appreciate,understand, and are prepared to discuss more than you think.
The Bangladeshi thing you keep bringing up - believe it or not I think along the same lines but I remained an observer (like the Jew thread) because I don't want to give certain quarters the satisfaction - hope you can understand that?
As for naivety, guillabity (sic) you seem to be good at that - you tend to misjudge the timing and jump in with bold phrases and end up in a quagmire of a debate - then you lose the original thread.
Born/raised - you live there don't you? so clarify for my benefit?
The Friends bit - I stand by that but I must say it hard to dislike you :)
More tommorrow dear cousin!
I stand by that but I must say it hard to dislike you
Just great, another love story cooking up on gupshup pages. Do whatever you like but just don't call eachother 'janu', will ya?
