So there was some talk about the "exemplary" behaviour of expats... if Pakistanis are welcomed by other nations with both arms, then why are people resorting to such desperate measures? :blink:
Clearly, the image created by Pakistanis abroad is less than exemplary...
Pakistani youth take...
Obviously, when the generation before of opportunists who took parchis of retired generals for scholarships to PhDs etc failed to change anything, rather never looked back again in their lives to their homeland, why shouldn't this generation of people try their luck at getting out of this state...
Meanwhile, as doctors who studied on Pakistani govt money offered free services to people in Chicago and saved the day, doctors who stayed on in Pakistan fight corruption and illegal appointments, and get a poor headline for that:
Young doctors: more protests less service | DAWN.COM
Ever been to these places and seen how they are?
Digging up 2006 archives is quite convenient, but do you know most of the "poor" patients who visit NICH cannot even afford 100 rupee tablets, let alone 5000 rupee tests?
This is the tariff rate at NICH: Yahoo! Groups
Don't just put...
No, they left Pakistan so they could make a better life for themselves first. Nobody leaves Pakistan to promote its better image... please. Wake up.
And that's what I am saying... come back and work on the social issues. Bring the "enlightened" thought back. Create opportunities here.
Who...
Since you are going on and on and on about remittances, let me rub some stats.
The "remittances" that are "driving" this country are largely from expats in the Gulf countries where they will never ever become nationals. The remittances from US and UK, even though the combined worth is claimed...
You quoted me and then wrote this "So you dont have issues voting for a thuggish party like MQM led by a British citizen"
Take some time reading what you wrote, and what impression it's leaving on others.
Every company cuts the tax before they the salary to an employee... I have paid a lot in taxes.. and seriously have got nothing in return by that standard.
Voting the "right" party is not going to make a difference... it's when the educated return and put a few years in turning this country...
I don't know what you are on about here... but yes, I will never ever take advice from a hypocrite ever.
And how do you know I cast my vote for the last time? First figure out your vote, then make stupid assumptions about others.
Do you think honesty of this sort exists in people who not only ran away, and did not do anything either?
Set an example that will be hard to forget. Serves them right.
There is no value in "advice" based on lies and misleading statements which is given by most hypocritical US nationals who pretend they still have their Pakistani nationality or nationalism in them.
Time will tell who achieves what... those people who got their education on public money and...
Why harsh?
Till we don't crack the whip, they don't come back with their experiences that they acquired on nearly free education paid for by the government of Pakistan.
Okay... quick question...there are so many members who are expats aand dual nationals, barring those in their 20s and 30s, who are still struggling in their careers, please tell me of ONE member who has influenced policies for any subgroup of professionals?
Can you name any expat, not the...
Well, you are too young to do that and it's too early in your career to even think about others. First have a solid foundation.
It's the people from the generation before us who talk the walk, but now need to walk the talk.
Till they keep failing to do that, they have no right whatsoever...
Remain in Pakistan?
Show one quote where I said that... I have been asking people to come back to Pakistan which a true bleeding heart like you should be able to do.
Aaah... your sadness and pity never ends...
You were asked to keep your money, and stay quiet.
And last I checked, I never called myself a "patriot". For what we know, you are the one who feels the need to drill in your Pakistaniat. And yes you can go cry hoarse with the admin about me being mean.
You are right - I have no choice...
Actually, at least 1200 users or so log in everyday.
Online there are between 45 and 200 users, depending on time.
And at given time nearly a 1000-2000 people stay as guests all over the forum.
Webby can provide more stats... these are from before when I could see the stats.
Policies are made by senior members of the profession. If they shun their duties, they are the ones who should be held guilty and tried. Like I said revoke their degrees. They wasted resources and have not returned anything to this country in terms of policy making.
I mean seriously, running a...
