Re: Pakistan - Long term stay and marrige!
Absolutely, I respect those people in Pakistan who live hard lives. We also do our best to help them out whenever we can. But how much do you native Pakistanis (that are slightly better off) respect your poor fellow countrymen? What do you do to help them? Except for some NGO's, the government has abandoned them. The wealthy people degrade them. There's absolutely no pride in labor, as can be attested by the begums of wealthier homes. Look at a common insult..."churi." The woman comes to clean your homes, and you abuse her with that word. You'll use it as a profanity against someone. But I digress...
I find it funny that you totally skirted around the main part of my argument as to why AD's are leery or fobs.
I do agree that some AD's are selfish, but most aren't. This is an individualistic society that doesn't support the idea of helping out extended family networks. Perhaps because there are so many governmental programs in place that you don't need to rely on anyone else. But that's also the beauty that attracts foreigners to this place as well.
