Do you have any question for Pakistanis?

[Eumersian]

Ooh, here's one.

What kinds of cultures have become more melded into the Pakistani culture in general? Much like Mexican culture and becoming far more integrated into the U.S. nowadays, what other kinds of "cultural bleeding" have moved into Pakistan?

Well in general the Western culture is. Partying, dating so on and so forth. And Japan. can't forget Japan with it's Naruto and Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist. >__>

You're such a dork. :3

Civilians have been killed in war for centuries, have you ever heard of a concept called total war? The second thing I was joking they can keep scurrying around in the rocks and mud and we will keep dropping high explosives on their ass.

The fact that it's happened before does not justify it, especially with the accuracy of modern weapons in mind. And the wars in the Middle-East can hardly be called total war.
I think we arrive at an impasse, lets agree to disagree.

Sound like a plan, G'day to you sir.

1. The pictures in your last post? Awesome.

2. Are the allegations treated as a very serious matter in Pakistani civilian, or is it handled in the same way we treat Iran calling us a "Zionist regime", just sort of laughing it off on a civilian level?

Oh no. We take it very seriously. Highly seriously. too seriously my brain hurts.

You're such a dork. :3

A loveable dork nonetheless. ^_^

This was kind of asked before, but not really answered. Why is there so much animosity between India and Pakistan? I've talked to my Pakistani friends (my university's business school attracts a lot of Pakistanis and Indians) and Indian friends (including my former employer) and both sides' reasoning basically boiled down to, "Oh, those guys are just shit heads. *Insert their own country* is wayyy better."

Is it a religious thing? Territorial stuff? Montagues vs. Capulets kind of deal?

Don't you find it a bit rude to just hijack someone else's thread?

he brings up a good point, not that I don't think your answers are good ones

With the assassination of Minority Minister Bhaati, and earlier Governor Taseer (excuse my spelling of these names) it actually seems that the danger of religious extremism is pretty existant there. BBC reported that the Bodyguard of Governor Taseer who killed him was hailed by some as a Hero. Is this common?

In a similar vein, are you Muslim? If not, are you afraid of expressing your religious views because of the Death Penalty for Blasphemy? If So, what are your opinions of those who are of different theological backgrounds? Do they deserve to be treated the way they are?

Lastly, how often are people's lives effected by this infamous law?

I'm genuinely impressed that theres someone out there who actually asked an informed, interesting question.

those being said, how do people view ghandi, and on that note india in general. I mean, I know you guys aren't exactly fond of indians, but ghandi seemed like a nice guy, or atleast that's how he was portrayed in the movie ghandi
and that being said,
[/quote]As a rule, we love anyone save for Americans. Well that's the extremist view. Over all, you'll be accepted here whole heartedly. =3[/quote]
why harbor distaste for us americans in particular. I'm sure we've done some deauschy things to your country, but of all the people to not like, I'd go with the british. I mean they didn't exactly let you guys live and let live.

also, on a completely unrelated note, why the hell is the schmuck who made the book of eli trying to buy the rights to blade runner? blade runner was a good movie, I don't see why it has to have a sequal, or, heaven forbid a reimagining

How would the average man on the street rate other countries in terms of hate or dislike.
1) America
2)Britian
3) India and 4) Bangaldesh. Since those four are either loathed in the Muslim world, been at war with you, conqured you or where formely part of you before going on there own way.

You would take over someone elses thread Paradox >.<
Nice pics though

Territorial thingy. Strategic point of view and so on. Basically, ego.

Okay, pardon all the foreign policy questions, but I'm kind of a news nerd and this is fascinating.

What's your take on this West Gaza business with Israel and Palestine? Is it considered important, even though it's not directly related to your country? Like, is there concern that this could be the start of Jewish expansionism into the region, or is it generally accepted that Israel will back down?

I know that this topic belongs to pakistanis, but being someone whose been living in Israel for the past 6 months, I can assure anyone reading this that there is not a single Israeli who wants to expand israel. trust me, even though I'm not exactly up to snuff on the news, there's no reason or way for that matter why Israel would want to expand it's territory.

Yes it is rude. And I know. But he's not answering. A fellow Pakistani will. Unruly but hey, at least it's better than seeing the thread die.

Aaaaaand, it's not that we hate Americans, but the recent actions really don't leave us a choice. The Raymond Davis episode is really bothering us all. That said, most of us do accept foreigners without any problem. Pakistan has a bright future. If only the people think right.

 

[Lord Doomhammer]

Is it still flooded there? We've stopped caring a long time ago.

Do you hate America? We don't hate you... yet.

Have you guys gotten new games like bulletstorm? Whats the delay on titles between the west (US, Brittan, etc.)

Is your region looking at a revolution like Egypt or Libya?

What are gas prices like there? Ours have gone up a lot since Egypt revolted, has this affected you guys?

Our sentiments with the Palestinians. The attitude of Israel is not changing, so neither is ours.

I know that

Care to shed some light, good sir?

That's what I thought, but I wanted to check. Is there any worry that it's going to come down to military action? And is it generally accepted that the U.S. should stop trying to mediate the peace talks?

Reaching back a bit, you said that you don't feel like Pakistan needs a revolution. Is the government pretty sound, in your opinion?

Rude of you.

We don't hate America. but some religious nuts do.

Yep. They're here already.

I hope not.

Gas prices are up in the sky! D=

also, I'm sorry if I've been a bit of a troll. no offense. also, what does "snip" mean, out of curiosity's sake?

What the hell is this Raymond Davis episode? I can be honest that I have never heard of him. Perhaps it's because I don't have a TV in my dorm, but I figure I still would have heard about it otherwise if it was a really big deal.

Sorry to be rude, its just the news has a hard time staying focused here so they quickly abandon anything not new... :/

Thats kinda what I expected, similar story here, but with political nuts instead of religious ones. See Sara Palin >:[

Is there any lag in game release dates between the west and the mid east? or dose steam negate that?

We've been hearing bad stories about Iran recently, wasn't sure if that was affecting you guys too.
