    Work it out. Just sit down and have a think about that.

    Maybe the difference between those phrases will occur to you at some point.

    It stands for Punjab, Afghanistan, Kashmir, India. Pakistan could very easily have been called Kipastan. No joke.

    Isn't the Slumdog lad Indian rather than Pakistani?

    RE: Easy.

    Most asian muslims I know are less easily offended than many xenophobic white kids who are scared that their world is collapsing around them because of the straight banana brigade from Brussels.

    Why can't anyone just go by this rule, England is for English only, America is for Americans only, Germany is for Germans only blah blah blah.

    This way, no more arguments about immigration and all that, EU citizens allowed to move and all that though.

    EDIT : Forgot to add, no matter if they're muslim, hindu, buddist w.e - If they were born in that country, they should free to stay just like anyone else.

    OBVIOUSLY this is going to be slated, but it's an opinion shared with you mournge pots :D

    So what you are saying is that I shouldn't be allowed to fall in love, and marry someone because they just happened to be born in a different country to me?!

    Not good for the first 5 years

    But after that it'd be brilliant not having the nagging bitch close by! :)

    You called me pedantic after you made the pedantic point!
