There is a reason why we have never had an Italian American President :devil: Lot of countries would love to be on our ignore list :lol: but we are EVERYWHERE!!

To be honest, the liberal in me is a little twitchy and my words were mostly meant more as a statement of self reassurance than proving any point to you ;)

I prefer guided democracy :cheesy: Let's be real now - The current demographics of USA makes it highly unlikely that Trump will be a President. He appeals to certain subset of US population who happen to be dominant in Republican party. The real fun will start after the primaries are done with.

Not necessarily. US FP is not perfect as it is often driven by political agenda. Bush and Cheney came from a very different school of thought than Obama. Your statement is correct in context of Bush years but Obama has been lot more judicious when it comes to securitization of FP. The truth is...

Which MMO's do you play? I have tried most of them one time or the other

I blame the British for most of the problems. Not just geographical issues like Kashmir but they through their reign on erstwhile India have managed to tamper with the psyche of people of subcontinent. On topic - short of a real war it will be impossible to compare both of them as it is...

I would say they both are extremely important. India and Pakistan spend huge on Defence. This may provide ample fodder to fans here on a defence forum to indulge in a d!ck measuring contest but in reality neither country is in a position to spend big bucks on foreign acquisitions which hardly...

Yeah I know, though never tried it. Are you sure the Mexican stuff has the old formula with same proportion of caffeine? If so then I ll to keep an eye out. You are probably right about the hygiene thing though honestly India has some ground to cover. I am not a food snob but well..you have to...

Dad used to temme stories about the Coke they had in 60s. Thick syrupy with a boatload of caffeine!! Coke these days even out of the can is a pale imitation. I am partial towards Dr Pepper. As for Indian restaurants, Tamarind Tribeca down at Hudson St is quite nice if a bit pricey - Hubby...

I would disagree on the point the point that Pakistan is a patsy, if anything Pakistan seems adept at playing us for fools. Anyway that's not necessarily a black mark in my book. They will look after their own interests and objectives first and foremost then cater to our demands. As for waning...

India stop acting so coy! Admit that you are loving all the attention.:D In the end all roads leads to USA. On a serious note given the right incentive India will dance to our tunes not all that different from when they acquiesced to sanction regime on Iran in exchange for a Nuclear Deal...

Dayumm!! Makes it harder for females everywhere. Never mind we take progress where we can find it

:o: Well Well!! What do ya know! IAF has lot of outlays; large amount of personnel who need to be paid, legacy jets which need to be maintained and upgraded, new projects with Russia which need to be midwifed, home grown hail Mary's like AMCA and LCA Block 2, gunships, logistic support...

There is a lot of presumption and condescension in your post. My post clearly stated there is so much more we can do to improve our system. I will further elaborate by saying what we need is a disruption of status-quo I am a special interest but my influence is limited to me. What special...

Frankly I am disillusioned. I know despite all the faults endemic to our system we still have it better than most but there is so much more which needs to be done. I don't like it at all that our system is being subverted from within by special interests. What are common sense issues like Gun...

My friend now don't be so literal! We know how the elections work - it is through endorsements, media buys, logistics and infrastructure on ground etc. All of which requires Ben Franklins! Welcome to the Circus!

Democracy is dead! Long live the democracy!! Well to be fair to the Chinas of the world - even in the best of democracy it is about illusion of a choice. Real choices which matter are curiously hard to come by. Look at campaign finance and the implications of citizens united. It was a blow to...

Your exit from this was a forgone conclusion, after-all there is only so much indulgence for the theatre of absurd. I am afraid folks but India has to go about it developing it's MII the hard way. Every country with a solitary exception of Israel has gotten around to it through sheer grit...

I have been following this story with great interest. This is a very nuanced debate which every country is going to have in one form or the other in coming days. What does it mean to be a Patriot? Is the question at the heart of matter! You can give any issue a patriotic tinge - immigration...
