[akbarkhan]

my "history" as well as "the religion of my forefather's" have failed me because they were documented by faithless miserable souls like you. you had a good history and you did a ****ty job making any use for it. i don't have that so i am not going to waste a single moment of my life studying a nation of faithless corrupted thieves who would rather depend on 18th century formulas to find solutions for 21th century issues before i make a comment or a statement because i don't owe them anything.
you had warriors, we are left with beggars. thanks to history.

also, try not acting like the dog that you are by getting all personal about it. surely you are capable of making a point with out bringing someone's family in to the matter in a discussion forum.

If you are not going to waste a moment of your life to understand the crux of the conflict then at least don't presume that you know it all. On one hand you claim that you have never studied our past and on the other you are quick to label us as a "nation of faithless corrupted thieves who would rather depend on 18th century formulas".

The idea that something old is unwise, not intelligent and no longer valid is a fallacy. Those of us with an ounce of intellect would understand that the ancients were much more intelligent than us, more craftier than us and certainly more politically aware than us. Take Babylonian, Byzantium, Huangdi civilizations as an example, indeed they were more intelligent and a lot more capable.

It was the 18th century formulas that gave us our freedom, independence, sovereignty & political status in central Asia. Look at us now, we are in 21st century, our elders sell their soul in exchange for dollars, our youth make wild statements without any knowledge of the past nor present! If the base of your socio-political knowledge and understanding is hear-say, media and modern literature then God save you!

We were warriors and yes we are beggars now, do you know why? Because we don't see past the relics of modernism and those who vouch for it. Our youth, and yes you are one of them, no longer know the difference between their enemies and their friends. On one hand our youth consider themselves "scientists" and great thinkers, on the other they jump to conclusions without dissecting the problems at to get to the crux of the matter.

How defensive do you get when a supposed husband of yours is mentioned in a blog post! But when millions of our elders sacrificed their lives to give us our freedom, you don't even "waste a moment" to find out what happened and how so! You owe them the blood that courses through your veins unless you are a Pakistani or Irani.

My family is every Afghan that has suffered through out the ages, my family is every Afghan widow and orphan who long for their lost ones. If you can not "waste a moment" of your precious life to know the root of their grievances, sorrows and hopelessness, why should I give a **** about your family?

Snapped thread from kite cuts into man?s neck - Times Of India

I didn't say its nonsense because it is unbelievable, but nonsense because common sense dictates using better materials like normal thread.

[ScimitarXEdge]

red herring

red herring to what though? your premise was false.

[IamDZJ]

akbarkhan summerize all of that in five sentences and you will have earned yourself my full attention. I refused to read the history so you decided to lecture me on it instead. Nice try.

Girlie, go watch a Hindi drama in your council house.

You do realize people fly kites as a sport over there. They compete to down the other person's kite. The kites fight in the air. You need good cutting thread in order to be competative. People would laugh at your statement of using normal thread, why fly a kite if you cant compete they would say. keep impulsively typing about something you know nothing about.

[randolph85]

they couldn't of banned razor wire instead of kite flying?

[IamDZJ]

Girlie, go watch a Hindi drama in your council house.

wrinkles not that it has anything to do with long hair or taliban but i only watch urdu dramas and that too on the weekends only. adios

[khushal]

Well, you could advise the pakistani's and Indians but with ISI's permission ofcourse. people usually dont fly kites like they do in the west, just for fun. They usually compete and try to down your kite. The rule is if you have a kite in the air, your fair game to be downed by another kite in the air. Everyone should sue the Chinese for inventing kites in the first place.
What they should have done is have them fly in a controlled environment where safety precautions were taken. But who can control these people, only the ISI. Nothing can be done without the ISI over there.

your answer to lailai's question is wrong because again you impulsively type without thinking things through. and your trying to cover it up with a red herring.


you need a bigger red herring to cover it completely up.

I dont think you actually know what a red herring is ...which is why it's a bit silly when you say you're "using my logic" but yet it doesn't match the logical requirements of a red herring

[khushal]

Red Herring means exactly what you think it means, introducing irrelevant facts or arguments to distract from the question at hand.

you gave a wrong answer to lailais question and I asked you if your being intellectual dishonest or impulsively typing without thinking anything through and you gave me an answer that distracts from the question at hand.

So who is being silly here.
