this is bound to happen as the world is and always has been full of idiots/morons - the only difference is that today every other person owning a smart phone is a journalist and considers themselves a media outlet/newschannel all in one combo.
Its extremely easy for other similar idiots to fall into similar traps and stupid tabloids (Pakistan is a global ace in this)
living example anyday.
If you ask anyone for a specific guideline - their answer always has "aik bandaa hai jo ye kaam karta hai" OR
"hamaray dost ke jaan-e-walay ne bataya - wo (insert govt unit here) se taaluq rakhte hain"
you will never get hard fact detail on the original inquiry concepts of
what?
where?
how?
when?
just look at any topic on PW, specially the civic X club, which I dont visit anymore because of the insanity going on there, All I gave was the age old guideline of getting technical support on their car, All I got in return was taunt, screaming, calling names etc, specially when I asked about the 5 days a week car wash.
This is one of the reasons why I dont communicate with Pakistani/Indian people anymore.
