"When I'm bored, I call up Radio Pakistan and request a song, then I start dancing. I'll even dance on a rainy day. It's my way of expressing how grateful I am. I am the happiest man in Pakistan."

“This is the worst time of my life. I have two brothers. A few years ago, one of them was diagnosed with polio. And he can’t walk anymore. And last year, my other brother got a brain tumor. And he can no longer remember my name. So one brother needs me to be his legs. And the other needs me to be his mind. My father is too old to work, so I support us all on a soldier’s salary. If something happens to me, there will be no hope for any of us.”
(Hunza Valley, Pakistan)

Every place and culture has its noble aspects and its less than noble ones along with its good and bad people.
However, it should be noted that Pakistan has serious challenges when it comes to sectarian violence towards people of differing religious belief, women, and children. It also has trouble with what most people consider basic freedoms of press and assembly. Justice and the rule of law can also be quite arbitrary there making it a somewhat unstable place to be.
When I see a post like this I have to try and figure out if it's propaganda or not.
ATS is widely known as the top conspiracy site with the owners appearing in major media outlets like Coast to Coast among other things.
There's definately real posters but there is definately people working on agendas.
I'm just glad I've been here long enough to know when I read a certain tbread I k ow there is something fishy going on in it.
