It's really hard not to hate countries like this

Relatives of a nine-month-old baby charged with attempted murder in Pakistan have taken him into hiding, a relative said on Tuesday, in a case that has thrown a spotlight on Pakistan's dysfunctional criminal justice system.

Mohammad Musa Khan appeared in court in the city of Lahore last week, charged with attempted murder along with his father and grandfather after a mob protesting against gas cuts and price increases stoned police and gas company workers trying to collect overdue bills.

"Police are vindictive. Now they are trying to settle the issue on personal grounds, that's why I sent my grandson to Faisalabad for protection," the baby's grandfather, Muhammad Yasin, told Reuters, referring to a central Pakistani city.

Not hard to hate countries like this, yet so hard to dislike Nick Cannon?

Talk about bias and unbalanced!! You're out of touch and control, Nate. :MARIS61:

You're clearly just jealous of his ability to nab a filthy rich diva.

If there's a celeb I dislike more than Nick Cannon, it might just be Mariah Carey.

Man... if we're talking about celebs I dislike, I would put Kanye and Kim Kardashian waaaaaaay above Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey. It's not even remotely close.

Meh. I don't follow entertainment/celeb media much. Or media that tracks them that closely. I probably was more in-tune back in the day. Which is why Nick and Mariah bug me more. I don't pay much attention these days, and I don't watch a ton of TV these days, so I don't get overexposed to Kanye and Kim.

These days? Kim has been on the TV non-stop for like ten years.

I just googled it. The family TV show started in late-2007. So, she's been "famous" for, what, 6 years now? I can't imagine she's been on top of the world for all 6.

So, yeah. If I haven't watched TV regularly for the last 4-5 years...... at the start of her "celebrity", from what I gathered, people seemed to be enamored with her. I dunno, I guess I really cut back on paying attention to celebs back around the time their show started (I had better things to do with my time - like wasting it here on S2). So, while I have mostly been blind to her apparent rise to "stardom", I was more in tune back when Carey and Cannon were both seemingly popular celebs. Not sure of their popularity now, but their popularity seemed to peak before they were married (at least in Carey's case - didn't she pretty much peak back in the late-90's, early 00's?).

Cannon's Denzel impersonations crack me up, even though his grammar makes him sound like a sixth-grader who is flunking Language Arts...

What am I missing? This is a person who allegedly did a very evil thing. The police are trying to arrest him. His relatives are hiding him. What has this to do with a particular country? No doubt there is a lot to criticize about Pakistan but in this case the "country", that is, police authorities, are doing the right thing.

Trying to protect evil people from the consequences of evil actions is not restricted to any one country.

The police charged a nine-month old baby with attempted murder.

I can't tell if you're being serious.

It's a 9-month old baby the police are seeking. LOL at you.

It has nothing to do with LGBT, so she's lost. Perhaps is the 9-month old were gay, she'd have some sympathy for him.

crandc hasn't had any sense of humor for 15 years now, so I doubt this was her initial foray into sarcasm.

Man crandc gets a hard time around here. Probably misread the article, what's the big deal?

Gee, I don't know, maybe her calling me a racist and a bigot for 15 years has given me an unfavorable opinion of her. When she makes a stupid post, I'm going to point it out.

tl:dr

FTFY

what if one of your friends said that it was a good idea to try a 9-month old for something it probably didn't know it did...?

Being that it was one of my friends, I would probably assume they misread the article about the person being 9 months old.

At this point, I fear our wisest course of action is to agressively court India as an ally, letting them do the dirty work in Pakistan. Afghanistan is lost and the Northwest Territories are close behind.

There needs to be a civil war in Pakistan. If you've been there, you would see that Karachi is more or less a separate country from the north. Isolate the crazies. And what the Pakistanis or Indians don't take care of, we simply bomb with drones based in India.

Ok. Now how do we get this started?

Considering that the first sentence says it's a 9-month old, yet she went on another rambling rant, I'd be questioning the intelligence of my friend.

Ouch, that's a tough mentality to have with a friend. I've made worse reading mistakes than the first line of a sentence posted in the OT section of a basketball forum. I would like to believe I could be loose around my friends without fear making a mistake and getting judged. Hopefully you know we can't all be perfect.

With friends like you . . .

Someone who isn't going to bother reading the first sentence shouldn't put so much effort into such a rant. That's what I take from this.

If you're not going to put any effort into reading the first sentence (hell, first five words), why put so much effort into a rant about the article. Not putting crandc on blast, but I just kinda find it hilarious. What was she missing? Uh, she missed the entire article. She missed the entire point of the thread. I see people get "beat up" on here all the time for commenting when they clearly did not really read the article and/or posts. They get blasted - this is just par for the course. It's not worth getting worked up over or beating someone up over, but it actually IS pretty hilarious.

I agree it's funny. I just disagree with the whole judging someone's intelligence over something like that. If they have been your friend for a while, you know their intelligence level. Giving a friend shit about it is one thing, questioning their intelligence in a serious manner seems harsh for a friend, IMO.

But I'll try and learn my lesson here as I am guilty of skimming and responding. Didn't think it was a big deal, but apparently it can be.

Of ffs. I was using hyperbole. crandc obviously is intelligent. Misguided and angry quite often, but intelligent.

Isolate the crazies.

They're in Pakistan. It's about as isolated from America as anyone can get.
Leave them the fuck alone and they'll leave us alone.
