Ah so you found the word success! Lets leave aside that the word is applied to the military’s goal of removing Taliban from the area.
Please go back and read the quoted text. I am usually quite tolerant with language issues, but I really dont have a clue what you were saying there.
“Dancing girls of Swat back in business” is completely factual. Any criticism is coming from perceived joy, not reality.
It does both. And they WERE victims when displaced, given the bullet riddled body of the dancer’s cousin.
Wait a second. You said the title of the article was wrong. The title merely states that they have returned. You say you dont deny it. So the title atleast is completely factual, you do not deny it, and you have no grounds to criticise it.
I dont mind people editing posts, just as long as it isnt a symptom repeatedly correcting thoughtless posting.
Look at the text you quoted:Why would anyone feel ‘sad’ for the girls? Do you understand the logical conflict between you unequivocally saying that the article doesnt mention any exploitation and you saying that the article wants people to feel sad about these girls? People feel sad and sympathise with the girls because the exploitation is noted.
Kindly point out where in the text quoted I say that you feel sad for the girls. This is what I meant in what you call a ‘cheap shot’. You dont read what others are saying carefully, and that is manifested in your understanding of my posts, and your understanding of the article.
merai Khuda. What you call ‘wanting people to feel sorry for them’ is the description of their exploitation. Exploitation simply means : tending to exploit or make use of. The fact that the girls are underage is exploitative. The fact that the girls endure the advances of unattractive, fat, smelly men is exploitative. The fact that the girls are born into the life and are socially unable to break out from their vocation is exploitation. Each of these and other small details paint a picture of exploitation, including the simple reality of them dancing. and the fact that the writer ‘wants to feel sorry for them’ does not contradict this.
Your problem is seeing suggestions where there are none. Your problem is seeing in a report on someone’s murder the suggestion that the murder is okay according to the reporter if the reporter does not prescribe a solution.
Yea. We can all keep making unsubstantiated claims ad infinitum.
:smack:
When you are ready to make sense, we will talk.
I feel I have wasted too much time on you already. Be happy to under mine the efforts of military and celeberate the return of dancing girls instead of peace for common people.
P.S. If God forbid somethiog happens to Lahore and military restores peace there, your favorite pervert writer may write, (ignoring schools, offices and banks in business,)
**Military wins, Shahi Muhalla back in business!
