Quite right. I do want to visit Pakistan sometime. I have little idea of how most Pakistanis interact at a personal and family level, for example. I don't know how most Pakistanis interpret art and form. But via forums and newspapers I can tell how Pakistanis reason.
Well come on over then. I offered you before and am offering you again. Come to Lahore. I'll be more than happy to host you.
I have spent half my life in the west, the US in particular. I read all the major US newspapers and have seen more than my fair share of US focused internet forums. Let me tell you, real Americans you sit across the table with, look in the eye and talk to are *not* what you get in forum posts and newspapers. The same is true for Pakistanis.
You claim you and Gates' share the borderline "insanity" opinion. I haven't come across Gates claiming that the Pakistani nation is insane. Would you care to point me to that statement?
You have not demonstrated what necessary quality is lacking in my background, have you?
Um, actually, I have. What is lacking in your background is that you have not even visited the country and nation you are calling insane. You have never interacted with Pakistanis in Pakistan. You have no sense for what the Pakistanis who you will never find on a defence forum are like. And they are the majority. Further, you made a broad claim about an entire nation and have not demonstrated at all what objective metrics you based your insult on. You are the one making the insanity claim. You need to then demonstrate that you have the data and the qualifications to make sense of the data. We are talking sociology here, not mathematics. So there is no 2+2 = 4 simplistic proof involved. Your background, your qualifications in judging a society, your exposure to that society are all very important elements that determine whether or not you have a leg to stand on in making the sort of claim you did. By your own admission, you have none of the above, so I am amused that you continue the obfuscation.
If you don't like inference talk to the French, they are big on deduction.
I'm content with on the ground reality, thank you.
