Actually, once I have made my mind up I tend to stick with it.

As you have seen, despite your best efforts to the contrary.

might also explain also why pakistani men are so popular in the west women love "bad boys" so maybe pakistan's "rogue" reputation helps I guess it isn't so bad being bad

Pakistan was ranked second in the list of most negatively rated countries in the world by a global poll for BBC World Service, which surveyed 24,090 people around the world.
Citizens of 22 countries were interviewed face-to-face or by telephone between December 6, 2011 and February 17, 2012. Polling was conducted by the international polling firm GlobeScan and its research partners in each country, together with the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland.
Pakistan was rated “mostly negative” by 51% of the respondents, getting placed just one spot above the most negatively rated country – Iran, which was rated negative by 55% of the total respondents.
According to the poll results, Pakistan is the only country which rated its own influence as negative.
A negative view of Pakistan declined by 4% as compared to 2011.
The survey results revealed that a negative view of Pakistan was found mostly in Western countries. Around 75% Americans, 69% Canadians and 72% Australians said Pakistan’s influence in the world is mainly negative. The pattern of negative perception was similar in the European countries. The view of Pakistan by India, country’s all-time arch rival, was negative as well.
Most of the respondents blamed Pakistan’s foreign policy and the poor treatment of its citizens for such a widespread negative perception of the country.
Out of 22 countries that were surveyed, Indonesia is the only one which holds a positive view of Pakistan.
Other findings
Japan was rated most positively by the majority of the respondents (58%), taking Germany’s last year position which had its positive ratings drop from 60% to 56%. This placed Germany in second place behind Japan.
Canada (53%) and the UK (51%) are the third and fourth most positively viewed countries.
China’s positive ratings rose from 46% to 50% this year.

Iran, Pakistan, Israel most negatively rated countries: BBC poll – The Express Tribune

YOUR HATE MAKES US STRONGER...


fuuuuuuu..lol

Interestingly, China is rated more positively than both the EU and the USA.

BBC News - Europe less, China more popular in global BBC poll

While India is rated worse than ALL three.

This is what the Indians always say: "We may have more poverty than Africa, but the whole world loves us, and they hate you!"

Well, apparently that was false as well. China is rated far higher than India in these global opinion polls.

Mainly Negative:-
China 31
India 27

And don't jump high

Iran and Pakistan are rated bad.
Aryan_B: That proves that people are fooled by evil Zionists controlled propaganda!!!

Israel is rated bad.
Aryan_B: Hmmm That proves that people are NOT fooled by evil Zionist controled propaganda!!!

I find that interesting. Generally we, Pakistanis, love to blame external influences for the terrible reputation we have globally. Yet, when the bad reputation of Israel is brought up, it is seen as a deserved punishment for being a nation of evil. Maybe if Pakistanis are misunderstood, the Isrealis maybe too? If Israel is such a horrible nation just because our bias against them tells us as much, then we lose all credibility in the realm of politics and are excuses regarding Pakistani reputation.
