  • Should Monarchy be established in Pakitsan ?

    No offense to most of you but most Pakistanis are just mindless puppets waiting to be controlled, always wishing for he suffering to end in Pakistan poltics is considered no less than Royalty, like royalty political status is actually inherited and no one can even dream to become a politician if they don't own a lot of property which is to say Pakistan is ruled by thousands of monarchs scattered around the place that haven't been to achieve a consensus not for the past 50 years, besides Monorchist countries are way more prosperous than the democratic one (America being an exception) people generally adore their kings

    As we've seen in the past few days (The royal baby) should it be handed back to Britain ? Or should it establish it's own monarchy ?

  • Why did his parents do this to him?

    I've a friend who is 14 or 15 at the moment, i thibk he has the most ecentric life ever, i mean his parents named him Phool( pronounced with a P-H sound not the F) which is his parehts local language for Flower and in his and mine native language it can also be used as a dematory term an English equavalent would be Pansy, anyhow he grew up in Ottwa and ethinically he's Pakistani and he doesn't even know how to speak Urdu yet when he speaks English he has a Pakistani accent i think it's because both his parents spoke with him in English, given their accents I can understand why his accent would turn out like that, on plus his parents will never let him watch anything but the dicovery channelnor Nat geo, they won't let him shave he's a complete tool. He just staggers around the hallways or sits in the classroom all alone his parents wouldn't let him sociolise nor decide what he wants to be

    He's not even that smart of a kid why'd his parents do this to him?

    How can I save the fellow, i pity him

  • Should Pakistan be split in two parts ?

    I mean Pakistan is a pretty unique country as it is, it's got three very distinct social classes

    And only one of them contributes to its development

    Most of the time the lower classes and halt the rest of the countries demands and it's just growing unnaturally I mean what appears to be a pretty backward country has cars without tragic lights or civilized driving rules and conduct no public transport no nothing it's unnatural and it's growing very artificially and looks wrong should it be split into two countries seperated by social class ruled by the two governments and a single head so they can ech develop simultaneously ?

    And when both are developed enough they can reunited

  • How do I perfect my English?

    Well I was born in Pakistan to an Urdu speaking family and I was introduced to English at quite an early age, I went to an English school, watch television in English, ans as I got older I got really good at speaking it, it was almost as if that it was my native language, and when I turned 12 I started using english more often, I talked to my friends in English to my brother in English and to my teachers in English, I never really had any trouble speaking English I could say whatever I wanted whenever I wanted to say It fluently and confidently hell I even lost my accent and people wondered where I came from, but lately it has been worsening, I still don't have any trouble understanding what people are saying when they speak English it's just that I can not accurately express myself using English sure I can form basic sentences, but when I have to say some really complicated things I just don't understand what to say it never comes to me it's not uncommon that I end up using sentence that resemble my own native language which should otherwise sound preposterous in english, I never had this problem before; I didn't even know what past participle was or what future perfect was I just said thing and they came out right but lately I have been botching up a lot

    Is there a way I can fix this
