More like scary as I went through it twice. Lived in an apartment so it's scarier if you're that high up, I think. First time happened several weeks ago and I was scared shitless. Second time happened just last week. Thank God everyone's okay, but RIP to those who died in other cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Well it wasn't that strong so it wasn't that scary. I wouldn't insult anyone living over that way by saying our earthquake is anything compared to what they go through.

Alee. 182 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 LOOOL. The Media is hilarious.I live in Islamabad (the capital), Bro lives in Lahore (most commercial city) and have loads of relatives in Karachi (the most populated city).. None of us has ever seen a terrorist / bomb blast. The Media makes it seems like its everywhere, when the war is going on in the extreme north side of Pakistan, Small area, occupied by terrorists coming from the Afghani border. Pakistan Army's taking control of places one by one.There are suicide bombs ofcourse, but they're no where near to what it seems like to loads of people. i talk to people online and they think of Pakistan being a country under war, when its not the true story..

Alee. 182 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Once again, your saying what these little conspiracy-theory Internet sites say. Sure, the government lacks power, but the country imploding? Thats a bit too much there. Lets not forget we've faced much worse oppression from our neighboring countries, came out of it successfully, this is something very similar, only this time, its from within Pakistan's borders, only a matter of time before we overcome it completely though.
