    Re: Have you bad eyesight?? I say again.. I have NOT stated these are my views...

    Yes, I do have bad eyesight in my right eye, thank you for enquiring, although I assure you it is nothing to worry yourself about.

    I have only 'AGAIN' called you racist, if you are in fact generalising your hatred of one aspect across the whole of the Pakistani society. If you are not, then I'm not sure what you are getting so worked up about. If you are, then I'm not sure how you can deny it.

    I "carry on because someone has accused me of being racist.

    Incidentally -What are 'Society' and 'Culture' if not made up of actions of individuals or groups of individuals. American society allows 'the right to bear arms' and the NRA lobby perpetuates that. As a result many people condemn American 'society' and gun 'culture' as it allow some disturbed individuals the means by which they can to carry out mass shootings on a scale and frequency not seen in most other countries.

    In this instance, I put it to you that, whilst it is illegal, the authorities in Pakistan are often very lax in pursuing the perpetrators of 'crimes against women . I am merely raising the question... In a truly civilised society would such behaviour not result in the full force of the law being brought to bear on the perpetrators?

    In all fairness, that is not what you asked at all.

    I am sorry.

    One is racist, if one is in fact generalising one's hatred of one aspect across the whole of the Pakistani society.

    Incidentally, do you not hate the fact that women are getting stoned to death? I do, I thought it was fair to assume that you would as well.

    Child abuse and rape are illegal in this country quite often the police are less than invested in proving allegations and it would appear the police turned a blind eye to the alleged antics of jimmy Saville. So once again do we judge our country on this basis or the individuals. I spent 6 months teaching in Pakistan. Fantastic place. Some good and some bad people much like everywhere else.
