I have the pleasure of going there tonight. It'll be my first time - Can't wait.
The only thing I find funny about Pakistani folk is an insistance on calling it 'Backistan' like they have a permanent cold. Makes me chuckle but it's kind of endearing.

Good luck mate. It only beats KSA as a destination as you will be able to get a drink in the hotel.

Witch hunts between the 15th and 18th centuries were conducted online?

And they make me a little scared.

I think the Pakistani establishment has successfully cultivated the idea that the country is dangerously unstable ; it is to a point. It is Pak's way of deflecting Western criticism and pressure, cause everytime the American demand action, Pak can always insinuate that if they fall the extremists will get the nukes.

I know there are problems but I believe it is overhyped by the Pak establishment so they can get away with supporting the Taleban and resist American pressure.

The Pak elites are as rotten as the extremists, both need to be dealt with, cause they cause soo much problems on a global scale.

My old Granddad used to say that about the Germans, spent a year killing them and thought the whole nation was evil. Then he met his first wife (a German, no less, and changed his opinion).

So, assuming you havent met and conversed with all of mother India's Keralites - whats your excuse for the sterotypical racist's view?

Just asking, like.

Does the stereotypical racist prefer Pakistanis to Keralites? Who might be able to answer that question? Norm?
