than why Indians are overreacting on this issue ?
The answer to that lies in the exacerbated patriotism of many Indians which in turn is supported by
literally thousands of years of local socio-historic constructs.
No need to point any finger, there are other countries like that.
for me first is humanity, whereever they might live.
100% agreed to! My duty of behavior is set by me for me but either applies to all humans or is null and void.
Ideologically speaking, it has to apply to all or it fails at being universal, an error in science and logic both.
I speak to all my neighbours
( that return the favor ). When I go out on the street, I wouldn't dream of letting
someone in need of assistance
( forbidden by law anyhow ). I don't differentiate amongst my countrymen
( part of a sincere nationalism ) and so on. Always aim for universal, it beats having to carry adapters around.
As a soldier, to refer to the object of our forum, I have to treat the noncombatants & populations in case of war
outside my land as well as I would my own civilians. My Army's code likely requires me to abide by the Geneva
Convention anyway.
In case of crisis IRL, I'll act in the best interest of those immediately around, no matter where I may be.
'Humanity' is a feel good unscientific artificial human creation. Just like organized religion
Fine! Religion is a man made concept and so is Humanity so that both can be disregarded in judging.
Got that! Agreed! . . . .
but what is a Nation by that metric? Hum?
I am then allowed to disregard that in judging too, am I not?
It's always all conceptual buddy, especially on Internet fora!
Good convo all, Tay.
P.S. To the person who suggested castration and those that liked that debased post,
no respect quite honestly!
