If  you don't mind my saying so, I've been reading stuff on this forum for quite a long time and have noticed that people from Pakistan have a tendency to post condescending comments that are not always beneficial to the thread. I mean this has happened a lot! I do wonder what makes them do this - perhaps it's a cultural thing? No offense intended, but rather just something I've observed and I really am curious as to why they do this.

i dont know, maybe if you see a post which is not beneficial and you go directly to check whether he is pakistani or not.

i dont see all the post are beneficial here, what is the title of EB ??? ( share your expat experience ) that cant be always beneficial, every one here has his/her right to express.

thank you

Perhaps I've offended (which is so easy when people of different cultures come together), but was really just sharing an observation.

Have you ever had something happen and then it keeps happening and so you notice it? The second or third day I browsed, a person from Pakistan entered a thread with condescending comments (bless me if I remember any of them!). Someone replied with a witty, friendly tap on the wrist. I wouldn't even have cared except he mentioned his country in the thread, etc. It happened several times after that, injecting condescending comments, and so it just struck me. Since I don't meet any Pakistanis (only know one in fact and that was years ago), it simply formed an impression. Honestly, the person could have been from New Zealand for all that matters. Goes to show the strength of first impressions.

However, I must say, I appreciate the polite & friendly tone with which my observation was received.

Have a great day.

No issues mate.

i respect your opinion, one bad apple doesn't make all apples bad.

i work in a huge organization, ameriacn/british managers/supervisors.

one of the department's manager American when i first faced him in the admin building, i cleared the way for him with respect and he replid i kick your butt, i was shocked because i dont report to him nor he is my incharge. think what impression formed in my mind, and he is still doing it  to all the minor staff.

but there are others very caring always give respect, greets well ask about health, i mean i never felt difference between us.

ok i still dont like Jerry not because he is american just because he has a bad mouth.

have a great day to you as well.
