Oh so u wont even know what Urdu is.
LOL, I said I didn't speak it, not that I was an idiot, ma'am! Of course, I know. Not only is Urdu a very
old language with important historical records but I have a friend who is a world class linguist working all
over the West's universities and presently in Tashkent for studies!
As of ur comment to Gab,even if u had reacted vigorously i had already thought out that i would ignore u.
Well, if shocked, ignoring is way better than getting yourself banned if you ask me, especially on your home forum.
Do try to do that first then and not get into trouble over someone else's bad attitude? I personally pull out of useless conversations ( "you can't make a mule drink" type of reasoning ) and use my incredibly powerful biological ignore
function … which has the advantage of still letting me see what the bad people have to say and stay prepared.
This said, English nor French being your first language, you might have over relied on Googletrance. The context
of my strong reaction given to Gabriel was that of physical intervention in the real world; something relating to past work
( army / security ) and a natural tendency to act or intervene in tough situations or in the face of violence / danger.
I was quite shocked for words at that time. i was of the opinion i have still reacted politely to such remark.
I don't think so and for your own benefit in the future, let me explain why. I know the word as I found the error and corrected it. I can easily see how it could be shocking to a lady. But …
A- you were not so shocked for words since you answered violently, were you?
B- that word would have been demeaning ( and childish ) but a mere insult whereas your answer carried a death
threat value to it. In that sense, you raised the notch a level which is the way wars start. I would have suggested
a tit for tat answer ( there is a pun about my mistake in that bona fide expression but no insult, please stay calm ).
Since the word was describing a body part, an English speaker, to remain on the same level, could have said :
… and you're a duck! … albeit with a different vowel to reply adequately. That would have sufficed.
C- there was nothing polite to your answer in any case? Do note that mine to it carried no such aggravation?
I'm not judging here, simply outlining the illogical part of your answer. The important thing is that it was not
factual and had no dire consequences so yes, let's forget it hence.
Some miscreant ppl from a miscreant nation are tooooooo obsessed with us,
I agree with that but not quite with your choice of words. I have had the luck of sharing with all sorts of people
from all over the world. Trust me when I say that sectarian calls don't help with such exchanges.
Let's reason : Are people of the Book miscreant to one another, for instance? I don't think so and discussions
with good folks from each of the 3 groups it comprises as well as parts of the Quran back me up on that.
And yet, one of the Christian inspired nations is the one that most often misunderstands Pakistan even though
an ally of sorts to it officially. Religion alone is not enough to mark the divide as your country with its diversity
knows well. Neither Russia nor China are anything but miscreants, heathens even, and yet back Pakistan?
Mother Theresa was a miscreant to Hindis and still did good for their land? Christians are not 100% "crusaders"
anymore than Muslims are 100% "takfiris" and so on.
In any case, I found that lacking in goodness and education are often the markers of bad perceptions.
More importantly, world politics do not rely on faith but on power so that working on such a basis is useless.
I have a blog, that you may find on my Profile Page as using it apart from as military information source is forbidden
by PDF rules, where I often defended Pakistan and for that, I use simple markers. Great men work to a degree so
that Jinnah is a good starting point. Numbers do well too and there you can use terrorism to show that your country
faces a greater plight than most that despise or mistrust it. And then actions speak louder than words and there,
the fact that other religions inhabit this Islamic republic as well as the fact that it has not misused its nuclear arsenal
but keeps it for protection is a very decent marker.
Once you've outlined these things however, if your interlocutor does not get it, may I suggest simply considering
that they may lack the openness and honesty to change their views? Trolls and idiots are akin to volcanoes and
tsunamis, forces of nature. Shelter your thoughts from them but don't be presumptuous to death by standing your ground.
In any case, don't discuss philosophy with rattlesnakes; don't squander your peace of mind on bragging kids is my advice.
Keep calm and have a great day young lady, Tay.
P.S. That drawing of yours carried through the emotion it intended to portray. As such, it simply cannot be seen as anything but successful, regardless of opinion! Keep at it by all means!
