hopefully you’ve gotten all the LOLs out of your system.
can we ever accomplish anything without needing violent protests? NWFP is no name. had to be changed. the ANP has been fighting for changing the name for a long time. and it represents a lot of the people of Pakhtunkhawa. the ppl of Pakhtunkhawa voted for it. so, who am I to deny the representatives of the ppl of the province how they name their province (as long as it doesn’t go against Pakistan somehow)?
btw, what a ridiculous argument to make! is the 8 billion to change the name wasteful? maybe. but if you make an absolute comparison and pin it against issues like poverty, inflation, education, healthcare, etc. there are plenty of other ridiculous expenditures as well.
but then the question arises, can a country like our afford to spend billions upon billions on a bloated army that until now had very little to deserve such expenditure? can we afford to spend so much on weapons when we don’t have any decent healthcare? can our country with so many poor, hungry, illiterate ppl afford a nuclear program? can our country afford to pay for the ambitions of army generals so they can play out their fantasies regarding “strategic depth”?
if you start making absolute comparisons, there are plenty of other expenditures that are ridiculous as well which I don’t see you LOLing about. what’s up with that?
