<br />Proud to be a Pakistani, it is us who make the nation, just because of a few scum bags, who give our great nation a bad name, can we not allow it to be take hostage and have her name bantered all over.
I am actually sick of hearing people bad mouthing their own country, its time we wake up and actually understand and feel responsible for what we say about our country. Just look across the borders all four sides,. have any one heard an Iranian bad mouth Iran, they eat your head of singing praises to their Zooristarian past and great Persia ! Arabs I don't need to tell any one how proud they are of being an Arab, Chinese... well they are Chinese, the Indians, they have a zillion castes, have monkeys, buffalos, dogs even pigs littering their streets, poverty, a zillion people living below the poverty line, ........ but never heard one bad mouthing India.. to them its mother earth. and us Pakistanis ! if we don't respect us, no one repects us.

Pracs, I disagree it is not unpatriotic to disagree with what is happening in your country. I think it is actually human to disagree with the policies/ people that you do not see to eye with.
I know of people, be they Indian, Arab, Chinese that are disatisfied with the current situation in "their" countries. They live in the UK - so how satisfied are they likely to be with their country?
I do not feel I am patriotic/ unpatriotic about my country, I am however prepared to voice the conncerns that I have about the people, policies that I disagree with or do not like. In doing so, I do not like/ dislike my country but would like to see certain action be taken to better it.
Sajjad,
Why would you taunt someone with posts about "their country" and expect them to feel ashamed sorry - is he responsible for the events in his country?????
I think you fall into dangerous ground when you become tunnel visioned and only see the good in your country. By not voicing your siatisfaction, you are in a way allowing the current situation to continue. (I said in a way, in some cases the disatisfaction be it voiced or actioned will not make a difference)
These comments are in no way meant as derogatory comments about any country or Pakistan - I feel I need to learn a little more before making any such comments.
