Pretty much, however it is also true that the negatives get reported whilst the positives starve for attention. There is good in people, just don't expect it.

It's embarrassing how right that statement would be.

Ah! Yes, the customary pat on the back, followed by a jibe at this forum's ol enemy. I'll summarise for those unwilling to read it all: China stronk, China do no wrong, Haw Haw look at puny democracy struggling against weather conditions it wasn't designed for. Oh and India bad too.

Quite well put, showcases the difficulty in persuing national interests in face of an intimidating foreign one's. IMO we've little choice in the matter, building your own takes time, patience and stability as proven by China's rise. We need the American market to grow just as they need ours...

Thank you for expounding on my last statement, I think you captured it's spirit perfectly.

That's quite a naieve viewpoint. I like it, it's a hallmark of those who enter discussions with the members on the other side of the fence. I sincerely hope you don't let repeated instances of trollish behaviour colour your perceptions, some just are in it for the fun. I'd rather we work...

Maybe not many see it as a career to persue instead of just a passion to fulfill. Even here it's pretty rare for anyone to actively persue it, although chess championships at school levels exist, so there is a structure available for those who would be interested in it and want to go further...

Why did you have to do that? Now we have a verified source sayin you is fake. All it needs is someone yelling it at the top of their voices in media house resembling a circus and the shit flinging begins. Egads! Man, the news that I come across these days is equal parts cringe and...

It's only a matter of aim and execution, devilish details notwithstanding :p: Tbh I'd had completely forgotten about the new rail corridor, I blame lack of caffeine ☺. To a large extent dedicated line will ease the pressure on IR's sprawling transportation lines but it's true test would be how...

That's quite heartening to read about. It is indeed a milestone for the railways. Although I feel this was possible due to the reduction in the no. Of trains run daily rather than a major organisational overhaul. This record would be more impressive if we can achieve it at peak loads, the...

The only point I'd like to disagree with you in your post is the part where you mentioned Pakistan to be nothing, though I understand the intent behind you saying it. Why, netizens from both sides chronically underestimate each other, I haven't the foggiest. It is also undeniable that the...

What is to be done then? Sit and critize those pointing at my deficiencies or work to improve upon them? P.S. I understand your intent was to compare the level of underdevelopment in both these regions, but you're underestimating the progress and hard work the people of Africa and SEA have...

Those are troubling stats, moreso since these represent the state of my nation today. The current administration has clearly failed to live up to its mandate and must answer to the electorate. It's, sadly, also understandable the spirit in which this thread was started. As an Indian on PDF I...

Surely, big media outlets ought to know this: Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related and similar cases or data that...

Frankly imho, this thread's in bad taste, more of a taunt than a gesture of goodwill as it should be if GoP ever requests it. Our enemy is the virus, the fact that the majority of nations have dedicated resources and have managed to achieve a breakthrough in such a relatively short amount of...

The fact that fanboys from both sides seem to think that the nationality of the nominees will somehow converge towards their own national interests is wishful thinking at its best and ignorance at its worst. They're politicians, rising up politically in a country they call home, if their racial...

Greetings from the other side of the fence mate. Your passion reminded me of my younger days, welcome to pdf, you'll find lots of like minded patriots and indepth knowledge on a plethora of subjects from many of the members here. May your passion and zeal be an asset to your country in the...

A group of lions is called a pride, a group of crows a murder. The mentally defunct group that posted such comments should rightly be called retards. Even that may be an offense to those suffering from mental conditions. One of the benefits of having a large population I suppose, everyone has...

For my reference can you expound which flowers accepted the call of Islam? Did you hit your head or is this a trolling compulsion, from an intimidating intellectual to a troll, your posts have denegrated. You rightly criticise our many shortcomings, but to do so on mundate things simply...

Shoo away troll, you hold no power over me :p:
