No tax for speeches!

I'm very sorry to say that those people, who can't differentiate between sports and politics, have no right of watching sports programmes at all. I advise the intellectuals to sleep all day long and during the leisure time criticise the fellow Bangladeshis in Bangladeshi chat rooms authorised by Yahoo. Cause they are not good for any job.

If we are so self conscious and dignified, then why are we always that crazy for going to the UK and living a high standard life there? The NRI (Non Resident Indians) people are more forgetful and merciful than us. They have also forgotten everything for the sake of high standard of living. They are living happily in the UK, doing jobs there, holding credit cards, owning private cars and apartments, and at the same time making movies like "Vagat Sing" or "Netaji Shubhash Chandra".

Why are we doing this, when we know very well that under the British rulers we suffered for 200 years?

Why don't we remember Titumir, Khudiram, Pritilata, Masterda and all those great heroes who gave their blood for freedom? Have we forgotten the nightmares of "Nil Kuthi" and the bestiality of Lord Clive? Does Bahadur Shah Park ever remind us of the horrible incidents of 1857? I support Pakistan team, I have no self respect and dignity,

To me the UK or US does not matter, I can go anywhere, but those so called dignified(?) and shy people should be careful. Either we have to put an end to all kinds of relation and connection with those countries(like Israel) we have enmity with, or have a normal relation with them. If we follow the first rule, then I'm afraid, gradually we may have to keep us aloof from the whole world.

In a match between Bangladesh and Pakistan I support Bangladesh, you know why? Not only because Bangladesh is my motherland ; rather, I'm not pessimistic about the future of Bangladeshi cricket, and obviously Bangladesh play well, Bangladesh have proved it.

We are experts in questioning other people's patriotism. When we criticise others we very easily say, those who support Pakistan, "feel a kinship" for the country. This happens because we don't have to pay taxes for our speeches!
