Pakistani taxi driver crying

[Sugarcane]

1) I'm the one who's living in west, not you. I know people here. They've million dollar houses here, their graves are here. But they still send remitance.

2) Edhi was an example. I used him to show black and white picture.

3) No, you don't know how to read. I said we can't go against inner feelings. I don't know how patriotic I am, but I can verdict on him.

Everyone can be patriotic, but it has its own levels. One who wouldn't leave his country and die there, one who'd leave but return to die there, one who'd join army to give his blood, one who'd say the state is against him and seeks refuge, but still likes Pakistan.

This guy isn't as patriotic as some of you think he is. I wouldn't doubt that you're more patriotic than him, even though you haven't uploaded a video of yourself sobbing about state of Pakistan. But you come to Pakistani forum and express your opinion about Pakistan, as you care for it, without sobbing video.

Perhaps you are right as you personally know all peoples living in west and track their remittances. I don't know about patriotism of the guy but one thing i can clearly see that you are against him just because he have taken IK's name. Giving verdicts about someone's faith or patriotism just because he/she doesn't think alike is typical behavior of Pakistanis, nothing new.

Does he not know if ministers try that in "his" country, how many will live to see another day..? Security of elected members of Parliament should be taken off..?

Wouldn't matter if the same ministers didn't destroy the police force. Yeah, PML-N, PPP, ANP, MQM etc all have prying hands in the security and counter-terrorism departments where they made their own appointments. Same people also established para-militaries which are responsible for a great deal of crime and targeted-killings.

Can't watch videos as YouTube is banned in pakistan

He is saying all ministers of Pakistan should be drowned in a plane near Karachi. He is talking about how ministers of Canada travelled in his cab but ministers of Pakistan travel like King.

Pretty stupid arguement ... He runs a small cab company ... And sends money home (expats send 16+ billion dollars annually)... And this video was aired on tv .. The guy felt sad looking at the shit hitting the fan in his country.. How Canadian ministered travelled in his taxis.. While our own ministers were using limos n expensive suites in hotels.. Despite being from a poor country..

That argument is totally valid. I remember someone from Pakistani news channel tweeted while Modi stayed in 1000$/night room in USA, NS stayed in 8000$/night room. That is waste of money, we also had our share of idiots.

The savior he is calling i.e. Army also did the same.. So why just target Politicians ( sans Imran ) if every "ruler" is responsible for creating the mess,..? Thats why I said This guy is too emotional to be taken seriously.

The army certainly wasn't in Karachi, organising strikes and assassinating political leaders. The army as an institution, might have been involved in police (which is managed by the federal government) where as, the current army leaders are involved in no such way. On the other hand, the politicians in the '90s who effectively crippled most areas of development and security are still active.

Perhaps you're exagerating now. I don't go stand around with them and look at how much they are sending. I am giving a broader picture. Which is, people's graves are here, they own houses here, businesses here, their investments are here. What is leftover or when relative is sick or whatnot, is sent to Pakistan.

Now those who are on work visa, like in middle east, they send tons of money. Because their final destination is Pakistan.

People move to the West due to ongoing, abysmal lack of security and justice in Pakistan, which is in turn created by the conduct of spectacularly incompetent and useless rulers like Sharif.
This does not mean they are not patriotic.

 

[Green Arrow]

Well Pakistanis living on foreign soils are patriotic and also have emotional binding with Pakistan

already posted

and he's no patriotic. Tears doesn't define the level of patriotism. Just because someone is so sad and crying, goes to youtube to make a video, he doesn't become patriotic.

Should come back to Pakistan and work for the country. The tax money will help gov't too.

So you are not patriotic(for Pakistan)?

As I said, there are different levels of patriotism. You failed to read my previous post.

I'm here for studies. I'm not a die hard patriotic Pakistani who thinks that Pakistani universities are much better than harvard/oxford like universities.

Not really

When the sane minded decide to leave, then they leave the country at the hands off corrupt rulers. And let's be honest, sharif cannot dictate the life of 200 million in every manner. Who is stopping you or anyone from become edhi, malala, abdus salam?

The fault lies in us, that we choose to escape than counter the system. And to satisfy this mistake, we blame the state. No state is paradise. Every state has its faults. But people thrive to make it better. US loves to go to war, but there are people who fight for peace there. They don't say "hey look, another republican, time to move to switzerland or another peace loving country." They join gov't, even when they're minority, they use their votes in congress to block attacks on another country, despite being against odds.
