> Corruption is everywhere

Of course there is corruption everywhere, but in most countries it's nowhere near as endemic or systematic as it is in Pakistan (and India and China). I can get by in my life here in the UK without needing to bribe anyone, but bribery is a daily fact of my parents' life in India (and similarly for parts of the family in Pakistan). Deflecting this issue does you no credit.

> Countries full of educated people are more difficult to manage. . For example France is badly in need of deep reforms but they will simply never happen because French would go on strike as a result of such reforms

So, how would you explain strikes in Pakistan against reforms to the blasphemy laws?

> in France you'd get a 90 Euros fine for speeding on a standard road.

So what?




Saying "corruption is everywhere" demonstrates a lack of understanding of what corruption looks like outside one's own country
