I don't think so. While it's true that religion is more visible in Pakistan than in secular countries, I don't believe that it occupies the thoughts of ordinary Pakistanis as much as is claimed. Most ordinary people are far more focused on the mundane routine of daily life, as in any other...

A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.

Lol. But seriously, manning online forums is a much cushier job than working fast food or telemarketing. Even in a rich country like the US, you can find plenty of people to do this job for dirt cheap.

US minimum wage is 7.25/hr How many high school/college students would rather write 15 posts/hr than work in a greasy kitchen?

I fully support Bilawal's launch ..... into orbit one way!

Chinese are smart. Why not tow an iceberg and park it off the coast, near Beijing? Towing Icebergs

There's nothing stopping Iran from securing their side of the border, instead of blaming others.

We just laugh when anyone (Indians) says that. Exactly.

I don't deny that excessive religiousness is a potential problem. I am saying that the abysmal state of a high-tech ecosystem is merely indicative of a wider breakdown in governance. The core issue is lack of governance, which is caused by corruption and apathy. The electricity system is a...

EU to set up euro-election 'troll patrol' to tackle Eurosceptic surge - Telegraph "Parliament's institutional communicators must have the ability [...] to join in and influence the conversation"

I know, but the reason Pakistan languishes in scientific accomplishments is the same reason most of the developing world (Muslim and non-Muslim) lags: a corrupt society ruled by corrupt politicians; no accountability, no vision, no nothing. Just coasting along, hoping for the best, with no...

China, Japan and Russia are smart countries. They won't let themselves be manipulated like many other countries, killing each other, while the rest of the world moves into the space age.

If we rename it to "Nawaaz Sharif Airport" or "Shahbaz Sharif Airport", I am sure a mountain of gold will appear to propel it to top notch status.

As usual, DAWN f*cks it up by bringing religion into the discussion, creating an opening for diversion and derailment. Stellar example of why Pakistan remains in the dumps. (Ref. "Don't mention the War", c.f. Fawlty Towers) These imbeciles can't leave religion out of anything.

Japan and China decide to tone down mutual tensions and third-party players are angry. That says it all...

Pakistani liberals are apologists for the civilians casualties and some even blame the civilians. YOU may live in an intellectual vacuum but it doesn't mean others will excuse your intellectual dishonesty. Liberalism is about the views and principles one supports; it is not a fancy label that...
