Go America Go

From Santosh On 7 June 2009 View Comments

This curious picture from Karachi, Pakistan is actually an anti-US protest rally. However, what these protestors don’t know is that, “Go America Go” has an entirely different meaning to Americans, who are used to hearing this cry in a positive sense, one of encouragement, especially in sports. img: via TOI

    I love it when the haters come out of the woodwork to do "hit and run " commenting.

    Note to haters: If you disagree with something that is blogged here, start a civil discussion. Calling the bloggers names will get you nowhere fast.
  • I realize that our constitution does not forbid stupidity, and you are thus entitled to say what ever you please, within reason, yet why make a jackass out of yourself if you can avoid it?


    You obviously missed the part where the army recruiters promised them they could keep their turbans. Considering that and your rude comments in a completely unrelated post, the above statement sounds like a rhetorical question to yourself.

    To Santosh, Regarding the story re Sikhs and turbans in the US army, your comment that there is "another irony to this story." You refer to Uncle Sam with beard and headgear. You equate him with the Sikh-turban controversy. Are you saying that if asked to, Uncle Sam would refuse to shave his beard and remove his tophat? I think not. And you are not very bright, or "clever" in trying to make such an suggestion. If you can't come up with anything better, I suggest you just shut up. Think about what I have just said. I realize that our constitution does not forbid stupidity, and you are thus entitled to say what ever you please, within reason, yet why make a jackass out of yourself if you can avoid it?

    Ammar,
    Thanks for your comments.
    Personally I still find this image pretty funny. The joke is still on the protesters. So lighten up
