Blocking Facebook is a very good decision, but I would suggest that this should be blocked permanently.

This is because we are responsible for all the acts that they are doing. Everyone using Facebook is aware that whenever such a site is opened, this is due to vested interests.

I would also suggest that the protest for any issue should also be banned. In registering a protest, public property is harmed.

We do not realise that we spew violence in our own country while protesting. It is better to write letters to the concerned authorities and create awareness among people through SMSes.

Foreigners know that Pakistanis are an emotional nation; they tend to react over the situations very quickly and easily. My question is why should we give them such chance? Why not ban all the consumer products?

Why not let everyone know that we do not need any imported consumer products and that we are very capable of producing them ourselves?

Why do citizens not protest for producing items in our own country that will increase our GDP or bring employment and prosperity to the nation? Truly this is the way out.
