salamoona erlanger,
oh yea I saw it coming
caesar of rome used to say - peoples that live in a tribal society or society which dont get rid of tribal structures - can not develop themselves=) well that must be some 3000 yrs ago I think. this is why I was asking you WHAT DO YOU MEAN by that cause we have another saying like this: pushtoon na hagha dey che pashto wayee kho pushtoon hagha day che pushto laree. pushto larel is what makes you pushtoon.
dont get me wrong erlanger. you are not the one who is not aware of his roots and history of his forefathers and what you said shows that it bothers you so bad that pushtoons are like that. your point of view is very realistic one. and of course your right pushtoons are greedy and selfish sometimes just take a look of what Angeezee thought of pushtoons but do you think it was different 100 yrs ago? or was it different 500 yrs ago. well I tell you those greedy and selfish pushtoons who would kill (and often killed) their brother did always exist. but on other siede there are pushtoons who would go to extremes because of the love towards their friend, family or homeland. maybe these are pushtoons that you meant before
people shed red blood for their land, for their namoos there are nangyalee pushtoons who sacrificed their lives like ghaffar khan and there are turyalee ao nangyalee like ahmad shah baba.
well they still exist believe me..
but that warlike pushtoon nature - I mean this "killing own brother thing" ao che raqib rata ashna su well if you take a look at our tribal traditions and tribal identity like "qawm/khel" - well this is a different story.
