Killing her besmirches the honor of her brother, her family, Balochs, and all Pakistan, in that order. Less honor than a dog - a dog would not kill it's own. How could this be tolerated in a culture?? let alone encouraged, cheered, or even just having people look the other way. The honor of...

I'm gonna go with an "expert" opinion: http://pwc.blogs.com/press_room/2016/06/the-economics-of-sport-pwc-study-seeks-to-predict-olympic-medals-tally.html 12

I have tried to explain to friends that in spite of the name, it really doesn't have much soccer in it. Loved: Team Evil - why be subtle about who the bad guys are? "These American drugs are even better than I thought!"

:-) Wait! Shaolin Soccer wasn't real?!?

I'd actually be comforted by a crazy guy chucking scones. If he had anything worse, he'd probably already have thrown that, so you gotta assume that when you get hit by a scone, that's all he has left.

The flag system, as I understand it, is to give others a way of understanding where you are coming from, both literally and figuratively. You pick a flag of birth (an indication of what kind of cultural background and probably base loyalties) and a flag of where you are right now (an indication...

It's not a crime. It's just dishonest. People remember this kind of thing and don't trust a word you say as a result.

No, the tangible resource they have is capable people who work hard and are not robbed by corrupt politicians. Most wealth is not in resources, it's in labor. Smart Pakistanis flee the country in droves to get away from the provincial attitudes, corruption, and highly restrictive society...

What around the house do you want to run? Picking out the plates, drapes and bedsheets? I'd be glad to have someone else do it. I don't mind sleeping on sheet with flowers or kittens or whatever. I'll even wash them from time to time (no big deal, toss them in the washer, toss in soap, hit...

Renault already knows how to make cars that meet and exceed American and European safety standards. One has to wonder why they got such poor ratings on their Indian cars.

What is the "upgraded engine"? The original RM12 is a rebuilt F404. Saab had tried to get F414 cores, iirc, but GE turned them down. So, would India be getting the F414s? Did GE cut a deal? I think this would ultimately still be a problem for India, as they are concerned about US...

You're on the bubble about being an ally or even a friendly country. There is a lot of hostility towards Pakistan in the US.

Laugh at him. Most effective. Not sure if it's safe, not having a good understanding of Indian street culture, but being mocked by a girl would be best for him.

What cars can you get in your country? In the US, we generally cannot get third-world mfg'ed cars - it's basically US/Canada/Mexico, Western Europe, Japan, and Korea. There are very few if any Indian, Pakistani (didn't even know they mfg'ed), Eastern European cars. I mean very few in that...

Minor correction. The US is a bit odd. There are 11 Federal holidays. Some states take additional days. Some companies do not take all those days, or take different days. The company I work for has 10 holiday days on the calendar (2 for Thanksgiving) and two "personal holidays" - you can...

That's not relativistic speed. Relativistic is way faster. Light speed is ~8 minutes to Mars, not 3 days. Still, NASA is talking out their collective a**. 3 days would mean ~6000Gs constant acceleration - halfway accelerating toward Mars, halfway accelerating away from Mars (so that you...

How Much Do Solar Panels Cost - Energy Informative The subsidies/rebates in the US are not dependant on who you buy your panels from. That is, if you buy Chinese or American or Indian solar panels, you get the same tax breaks/rebates. The panels make up about 30% of the price of an...

Still looking to the past. Brag about your ancestors, it seems it's the only thing you have. Looking to the past is a central reason for Pakistani misery, in my opinion. You're so proud of your ancestors you can't acknowledge anyone else's accomplishments, and therefore cannot value or adopt...

Interesting. I neither know nor care about my family history - well, I know that I'm "mostly German", but beyond that, it really doesn't matter. I suppose I am "linked" to Europe by white skin. But I don't care, and don't consider myself "European" in any sense. As a mostly German decended...
