Blogging Will Be Light For A Week
I am going on a much-deserved vacation. To New York. Hahaha. Anyway, I'll be back next week. I know it'll be hard for Pakistanis to live without me and Facebook at the same time, but you'll be okay. Connect with your family or something for a while.
P.S. No, commenters, I don't have anything to say about the Facebook ban beyond: hahahhahahahahahahahhahahahaah, God we're stupid.

Have a ball bro.
What's say we use this post to talk about the Facebook Ban anyway?
I think it's a good thing overall.

For those interested
I agree, a temporary ban is essential. or at least some form of action or measure on part of the Pakistani government is. especially given that, unlike most places in the world, the fringe element of our nation has the ability to do bomb blasts at will. (no one deserves to die over such a sad affair)
a known mouse,
Where does it end? There will always be stuff on the interwebs that people will find offensive and vile, the best way to not be offended is to ignore it. You don't want your kids finding it, download a filter, better yet, make sure the computer is in a public place in your house. This is a dangerous trend, think of the implications: the internet is the only medium where people in Pakistan can really speak freely, and if you start taking that away, we will be worse off.
The best way to deal with it is to ignore it. No doubt about that.
But to expect, for that certain element of our population to be able ignore this would be like implying that they have the ability to somehow even feign tolerance.
And, let's admit, tolerance is not their hallmark.
Agree with a known mouse. It's a step that unfortunately had to be taken because you don't want people throwing Molotov cocktails at a KFC over this.
It is by no means ideal and not to mention that it is bringing more publicity to something that shouldn't get any, but rather have unhappy people not being able to chat with their honey or look after their farm than 15 dead 30 injured.
Ahsan, seriously man. Some posts just HAVE to be written.
Sometimes, we, the surfers, surf randomly looking for a good read. And sometimes, we come here expecting to see what FRB has to say about it.
Without Ahsan, we have AKSs retarded posts. what are we to do now. ef.
actually Ahsan is meeting AKS in NY. Maybe Ahsan will rub off on AKS and he wont be that bad after all.
we know ahsan will rub off on aks. hehe
On AKS's face that is
