Karachi's Viceroy

Horrible photshop by your's truly, Mirsub (creator of APK).

So I guess we will choose to remain blind, AGAIN!!!

The psyche of the Pakistani people is a mystery to me. We choose to be ruled by people, whether a democratically elected government or a dictatorship, we choose to remain as slaves. This tendency has been present in the people of the sub-continent for quite a while, history tells us so. What I don’t understand is when the people finally take a stand, where is the help?

No chief Justice to take suo moto action against the speech made by a certain someone, the head of the biggest political party present in Karachi. The media chooses not to emphasize the injustice that has been inflicted upon the people of Karachi especially during the past two days. The speech itself was horrendous and laden with treasonous statements. Visual evidence (video) of electoral rigging is present and shows the culpable, in Karachi and throughout Pakistan, but people still choose to believe that the elections were fair.

The Sarabjit Conundrum: India-Pak tensions rise again

This Amateur artwork is presented by yours truly, Mirsub. Microsoft Paint, you have saved me once again.

Note: As admin, I've seen this whole drama unfold on Twitter and in the media and it's simply ludicrous. Strayed from the Punjab? Yeah, O.K.

I am not a blogger or writer and never have I tried my hand at it but the Pakistan India topics are always an interesting choice to begin with! Moreover the Sarabjit Case and the false potrayal of him as 'just a farmer' has forced me to let it out.

I am not an anti-Indian but the way they have reacted to this situation and similar ones has changed my view of them. Lets start with what their very well know and learned people had to say about Pakistan, Javed Akhtar called Pakistan a 'petty establishment' after the death of Sarabjit and others termed Pakistan as an insensitive nation. I ask them,if Pakistan is a petty establishment why did they release several other prisoners convicted of terrorist activites,examples can include Gopaal Daas and Surjeet Singh who were recently pardoned and sent back home safe and sound! If Pakistan is a petty estabilishment why did our soldiers send the little Indian girl,that too with new clothes,candies etc,back to India with full safety! Also,is not India a petty estabilishment too as after the Sarabjit Incident one Pakistani prisoner was attacked by his inmates in Jammu and just by the way he has been struggling for a living as well why is this not telecasted?

The Most Annoying Posts on Facebook

We all loved Facebook when it started (OK, not all of us...). It was a great way to keep in touch with all our friends -- even the ones we weren't in touch with any more. For a reason. But we loved it anyway because it meant that we could spy on them and secretly judge them without having to actually be involved in their lives in any real way. That included frienemies from college, old flames, former co-workers and grade-school chums that we were glad to find working at a Burger King and growing bald after picking us relentlessly (I digress...).

BUT all that schadenfreude started to turn against us when we found that in addition to lamentations about how much it sucked to work at Burger King, that same former grade-school chum also posted cute cat video after cute cat video. Instead of being a source of amusement, your news feed became a reason for you to want to poke your own eye out every day.

Besides the cat videos, here are some of the most annoying posts you are likely to find on Facebook (even with the most stringent requirements for who you let on your friend's list):

Debbie Schlussel Hates Muslims AND Polish people

Before I begin with, let me give this douche-bag a little introduction. She is an Conservative, Anti-Muslim (pretty anyone who isn't Jewish can become her target) blogger and Radio-Talk Show host. Or in other words, a Racist B*tch. Conservative my ass; might as well call your self a neo-nazi.

Now this isn't the first time I've blogged about Debbie but a few days prior to writing this post; I received a few interesting comments I thought I'd in a follow-up post. Here's what this guy had to say:

I've heard about Debbie Schlussel being very racist towards Polish people. When Barack Obama was apologising Poland for saying "the Polish death camps" instead of "the German Nazi death camps", she said that Obama should not apologise because he was right. What is more, she said the the Jews were killed mostly by the Polish people, not Germans! Oh really? So why Hitler was of Germanic origin? Why Polish people were saving the Jews with the risk of losing their own lives and lives of their families? Why words like "Deutschland uber alles", "Heil Hitler" or "Arbeit macht frei" are from the German language? Why Poland was completely devastated and Polish people were called "untermensch" (sub-human)? I'm just sick when this lady says "Nazis did this", "Nazis did that" and she does not mention their German origin at all, but she's talking about Poles as the ones who "helped the Nazis (of unknown origin)".
