One Of The Best Threads Ever On PDF!

[OrionHunter]

I would like to complement fatman for the excellent thread titled, COMMENT : Pakistan’s forced realignment

It was like a breath of fresh air to read all the balanced and realistic comments and would also like to convey my appreciation to stalwarts like Aeronaut, Pfpilot, Joe Shearer, notorious_eagle, Oscar, nuclearpak, and Developereo,

I recommend all members to go through this thread which is a far cry from the usual trolling, flaming, one-up-man-ship and getting vicarious pleasure in putting the other guy down. I am guilty of indulging in this pastime myself sometimes!

Thanks guys. I wish I could join the debate but not allowed as I get this message:

Jeeez! That sucks! I think there's a long way to go before being accepted into this hallowed club!

It is a great thread and I recommended this in one of the thread too.

The posters at their best.

I can't post on that thread but i will share my thoughts here about that topic.

I agree Pakistan should be self reliant & make itself stand on its feet but at the same time Pakistan must not make any mistake. China has mostly stood with Pakistan anywhere Pakistan need them, they tried to make Pakistan self reliant during Mush era but unfortunately they may be fed up of this current govt of Pakistan who is corrupt to the core & had thrown Pakistan down the drain, economy had been severely damaged, too much insecurity in most parts of Pakistan, & numerous more crises. So i would say Pakistan must stand on it's own now & also make it's relation more stronger with not only Chinese but Russians, Americans, British, Turks & Iranis.

Great stuff! This is what discussions on PDF should be like! We want more such threads to enhance the reputation of PDF as a forum for mature, intelligent and objective discussion!

Way to go!

The Entire Senior Cafe is good. Sadly, I'm unlikely to ever post there

Perhaps this thread can be renamed, "The Senior Cafe appreciation thread." So us trolls can discuss here

From the thread:

Separatist movement in Maharashtra ????

Yes, the Independent country of Kokanabad

 

[Skull and Bones]

Such kind's thread makes me realize we're just wasting forum bandwidth most of the time with our silly fights.

Because it lacks good for nothing trolls and haters.

 

[AADHAAR]

Yup.. a good thread.

But like the trolling too... it's more funny and less serious.

I am not a think tank but I reserve my concur with that view. Reason is that it's pessimistic in nature, offering no solution for what we are troubled with.

Let me ask a simple question. If we can open hearedly give up our disputes with a nation that had several wars with us and dismembered us, what is the due reason we shall cast the doubt and complicate our relationship with a nation that backed us for the entire history?

Afterall We need a nation backing us in world stage, notwithstanding the extent. In future we might need funds, loans, technologies etc. scale which only an close ally can provide to help revive our economy and unleash the potential of a real boom.

No one cast doubt on china

Actually that's the reason. The senior most posters, ask for suggestions even from us Juniors and communicate for more discussion on important topics. They lead by example which we failed most of the times fails to do. Another thing is people appreciate jibes and bashing of other country more than self introspection and healthy debate. Many good threads have been started in other sections, but they get over run by trolls and senior members, I'm guilty as charged, gets involved in it. Most of the posts are the stale ones with no insights and thought provoking ideas.

This is the reason these senior most posters like Xeric, Oscar etc. keep away from normal threads as their Valuable posts are lost in troll posts. Few we improve and hold our horses, and contribute more sensibly, we can have these type of discussions in other sections too. Its also duty of Elite and Senior members along with Jr. Think Tanks to make sure we indulge in good discussions, which is disturbingly, absent at many places.

At the same time new good members should be encouraged and trolls should be reported, without any bias on basis of nationality etc.
