I think the court has taken a sensible and practical judgement while also ensuring that nobody is an outright winner or loser. Just imagine if the verdict had been completely in favour of one side. Also, I think the judges realized that no government could have removed the idols of Ram which...

Free proxies...no trouble with search engines at least :D

Indeed that is true. What I disputed that your assertion that going vegetarian will increase the population of the cows and other cattle. In fact, in the medium to long term, it will significantly reduce their numbers. But since they account foe a very small proportion of the GHG produced, it is...

Even 28% is a stretch. Currently, only 23% of India's land is covered with forests. What kind of a logic is that? Cows and other cattle are not wild animals which will go on multiplying if we don't kill them. We need products from them and that is why we try to have more and more of them. If...

LOL, it must have been like: You: :tup: Girl: :blink: You: :oops: Girl: :angry: You: :hang2:

@sur - You do not seem to understand the difference between the two situations. In the west, if an adult (or a teen much older than the other) sleeps with an underage person, he/she is considered to be a sex-offender. When two 15 year olds do it, surely it is not paedophilia? It is not a subtle...

I would give a higher priority to No. 4 and then No. 3 - a very big reason for harassment of women is the people feel that they won't be punished for it. If you know that there is a good chance that you will spend a few years in prison, then you will have second thoughts before you decide to...

Delhi is unsafe for women (and the elderly). I don't know the situation in Pakistan though.

I think I would score very well. But then this will happen: You forget her birthday (-50000). I can't even remember mine - I am DOOMED!

I cannot understand the logic behind the argument for supporting marriage as soon as a girl reaches puberty. There are two aspects to consider: Physical readiness - Even if a girl reaches puberty, it does not mean that she is ready to be a mother. I have read a lot about the dangers of underage...

Looking at the advances in synthetic life, robotics and AI, I think that what you are saying may become true in the distant future. The Terminator scenario may become reality. Or we might decide to 'modify' ourselves with synthetic genes, bionics and AI enhanced intelligence. Then there is...

More severe action is needed to deter Israel from doing such a thing again. Something that will at least force it to lift the Gaza blockade.

Thanks for the morale boost and the 'thanks' :cheers: I hope you can understand why that statement itself is problematic. There is no need for me to lie on such a topic. If I don't feel sympathetic, I can just keep quiet. Anyway, an article from BBC UN members decry Israeli raid on Gaza aid...

A good step forward. Hopefully, India-BD relations willimprove even more :)

Great! I will remember to never ever make a post in this forum sympathetic to the Palestinians. :undecided:

Just goes to show that you wilfully ignore our posts that do not conform to your views. It is easier to paint 'Indians' with one colour that way. Not to mention insult. it is still pathetic. No wonder Indians sympathetic to Palestinians aren't posting in this thread as they will just be painted...

You obviously didn't bother to read the posts by Indians which condemned Israeli aggression and just made a hateful post against all Indians. Pathetic.

What does the status of minorities have to do with the Kargil war? Anyway, India won. The military victory may or may not have been complete, but the diplomatic victory was. The sanctity of the LoC was acknowledged by the world for the first time and Pakistan was vociferously asked to retreat...

I also agree that the world does not support the blockading of Gaza. Both UN and EU delegations have asked Israel to lift it. It is largely because of the American support that Israel is able to carry on with this inhumane collective punishment.

I don't know about his bias against Pakistan, but I find his articles and books to be interesting and informative at the same time. What some people term as generalization is in many cases simplification, IMO. It helps the author to get through to the reader easily. I think of him as one of the...
