[....(2) To achieve (1) without presuming anything negative about specific individuals, unless relevant facts are publicly available. Personalizing a debate negates the second objective. ]

kaalchakra,

I never write ANYTHING without thinking about it first, unlike most idiots that pervade this website.

Swarrier had made the asinine statement that the PROOF that Hinduism is a violent religion is the fact that his caste used to be warriers. In spite of my repeated questioning, when he failed to address my questions in this regard, I concluded that he did not have an argument, but passionately believed in it - THEREFORE the reason he is saying this must be one of the two:

1) either, he must have a PERSONAL reason to want to believe it - this is always penis-related, or,

2) he is a JNU jholawala type lefty.

This process has been a way of trying to narrow down why someone would make a highly irrational and asinine statement, AND then stick to his guns, AND REFUSE TO PROVIDE ANY PROOF OR ARGUMENT in this regard.

If people see this as an attempt to personalize issues etc., I really couldn`t care less.

I used to know a Punjabi Hindu family (in the US) where the father was very devout - he used to sing at temples etc. This only daughter (ABCD) fell in love with a Paki. This guy forced her to convert, to change her name, and she used to tell my wife how her mother-in-law would berate her about not being a ``true`` Muslim. When her friend would go to parties this poor girl would be forced to go to the mosque. You should have see her father. He lost weight, lost any interest in life for a while. But gradually he recovered. Within a space of two years he became a virulent Sikh-hater. Used to make jokes about how Sikhs are troublemakers etc. We used to keep quiet - everyone felt sorry for him.

This guy had to rationalize to retain his sanity. He HAD to BELIEVE that Muslims are all good and nonviolent, and Sikhs are the problem-makers in this world - otherwise how could he tolerate the conversion of his only daughter to this 5-times a day Koran-reading Muslim?

Personal experiences and compulsions do have an effect on your thinking process, unless you are mentally strong.

I never said that it is DEFINITELY his penis that swarrier is following. I said it is ONE OF only two explanations there can be, since he himself had no rational explanation for his own statement.

You have demanded another poster`s personal details on this very thread, so there is no point in denying it. You did say that Bajrang Dal and VHP can`t be compared to jihadis( a number of Indian killers belong to these organisations) so no point in denying that either. I have raised and do raise the issue of Congress/Communist violence as and when I think appropriate, not to prove my credibility to self-righteous self-absorbed idiots on the web.

All you have really to say is that I have Islamist kin and you claim to speak on behalf of all Hindus though I am one too. You are remarkably like Pakis- they call anyone who disagrees with them either anti-Paki or anti-Muslim which is convenient but utterly meaningless. You too basically have no argument to offer( your recital of ignorant prejudice about me cannot be called arguments) so I am done here.

Re: # 260
dear abcd
Your belief systems are not mine. So do not presume to judge others by your ideas. The role of a true warrior is to destroy his/her enemies without passion, without anger. To understand that they are you and that they live by their ideas and compulsions.

A parable
A long time ago a Samurai`s mentor was killed in an ambush by another person. The Samurai tracked him for many days and then cornered him. As he was about to administer the killing blow the cornered man spat in his face. The Samurai stopped and then sheathed his sword and turned away.
When asked why he had done so , he replied, `` I had to kill him as my duty to avenge my mentor. But when he spat in my face I was so angry that I wanted to kill him out of my own personal rage. It would not have been an act of impersonal revenge, and therefore wrong.``

Now I would suggest you go and read the racist imperialist Kipling`s Rikki Tikki Tavi. There is a character in it called Chuchundra the musk rat. Do not be like Chuchundra. Be brave enough to come to the centre of the room. -))

You made an very perceptive and extremely important point regarding the active depolyment and use of the penis in spreading and defending religion. In extraneous debate, the significance of this point should not be lost: religion may be as much (sometimes, more of) a matter of the male penis as of the human mind. Penis, hence, is not just a symbol used in religious worship.

Krishna, there are two challenges before us: (1) To liberate ourselves from the dark prison of political correctness so we can understand and describe the world as accurately as possible. Distorted reality helps no one. (2) To achieve (1) without presuming anything negative about specific individuals, unless relevant facts are publicly available. Personalizing a debate negates the second objective.

Re: # 263

[Asking people for personal details of their life for disagreeing with you and making pejorative remarks about them is defined as personal attack by me. ]

Actually I have never done that. What the F$##k are you talking about?

[If you can`t discuss a person`s point of view and are reduced to discussing the person, you have already lost the argument. ]

I agree. So you should stick to facts. And try not make personal attacks.

[Which kin is that?]

Your islamist kin, of course.

[You were the one saying that jihadis and Indian killers cannot be compared. ]

That is garbaqe and a lie, of course. I was saying that the POLITICAL PARTIES they belong to cannot be compared.


[And it is no thanks to Congress or BJP that incidents like anti-Sikh riots or Gujarat riots have not recurred in the same scale - since the perpetuators got away scot free, such incidents can very well happen again, in the same or different context.]

Well then you should bring your rantings about Hindutva-vadi parties to the same level as your nonexistent rantings about the Congress party or any other party in India.

[Indians are under threat from such potential incidents like they are under threat from attacks from jihadis, that is the point. ]

I am a patriotic Indian - unlike those who secretly want India to become another Pakiland. I do not think the threat posed by some goondas in every single political party is anywhere near the threat posed by your friends the Islamists.

This is exactly how ALL hindus think, barring a few JNU jholawalas, turncoats, and tree hugger types. That includes people who compromise their thought processes for personal gain - money, or sex.

Re: # 261

Worshipping ANYTHING has nothing to do with Hindu philosophy.

Worshipping deities DOES have to do with Hindu mythology and tradition.

Hindu tradition is highly symbolic - a lingam and the yoni symbolizes something just as the pot-bellied Ganesha symbolizes something. NOTHING is literal. But that would escape you low-class crude Islamic types.

In any case. Even worshipping a penis (if actually anyone did it - nobody does, of course) is a thousand times better than following a pedophile. Not only better, but a thousand times better.

If you understood why, you would not be a Muslim.

``There is no difference between killers - like those Congress Party workers that butchered Sikhs around the country when Indira Gahdhi was killed, and the garden variety jehadi. But there is a BIG difference between the Congress Party and the Taleban. And between the Hindutva-vadis and the Taleban.

Why don`t you do this. If are so honest in your convictions, list out incidents involving the Hindutva-vadis and then I`ll list out incidents involving the jehadis. Then we can compare and contrast.

Here`s another prediction - you`ll cop out like the rest of your kin.``

Which kin is that? You were the one saying that jihadis and Indian killers cannot be compared. I was pointing out the situations in which they can indeed be compared. And it is no thanks to Congress or BJP that incidents like anti-Sikh riots or Gujarat riots have not recurred in the same scale - since the perpetuators got away scot free, such incidents can very well happen again, in the same or different context. Indians are under threat from such potential incidents like they are under threat from attacks from jihadis, that is the point.

<<< Listen, idiot. You are a Islamist, and therefore by definition a pedophile-follower. >>>

Listen, intelligent Krishna, you are a Hindu, and therefore by definition a Penis follower.



<<< You are the lowest of the low, an idiot amongst all idiots. >>>

You are the highest of the high, a genius amongst a race of intellectuals.



<< You and your kind have been stupid enough to have been hoodwinked >>>

You and your kind have been enlightened by tales of monkey gods, ten headed Ravanas, Uran Khatolas, Tiger riding Devis and whatnot.



<<< If you knew how much contempt I have for people like you, you probably would not believe it, brainwashed as you numbskulls are >>>

If you knew how much respect the rest of the world has for people like you, you propbably would not believe it, treated like dirt everywhere as you geniuses are..



<<< Your prophet married his own stepson`s wife, after seeing her naked (to consolidate the spread of Islam). He married many where Islamists cannot say that he was only ``consolidating his empire``. He was a sex-crazed maniac. He raped, and made it okay to rape, war booty women >>>

Your gods were instrumental in having their Draupadi derobed after losing her in a game of chess (booty women). They also had phenomenal respect for women who are still made to worship the Penis in the year 2006.



<<< How much lower can you go. It is amazing that your kind has the guts to stand up and talk to others. >>>

I won`t ever stoop to the level of worshipping the Male penis or a monkey or elephant.
It is still theoretically possible for non-hindus to falll lower.



<<< Keep your opinions about me to yourself, dickhead, if you cannot talk on point. >>>

Your people worship dickheads. So I must be your god. HA HA HA

Truly Fantastic,

Coming from a Phallus worshipper whose women go to temples to pray to the lingam regularly.

Coming from one whose people worship Monkeys and semi elephants..

Intelligent debates.. yes... very...

Re: # 257

I find that hard to believe, because extracting this last line was like pulling teeth.

If that is indeed true, you must belong to the left-wing JNU-jholawala islamic apologizer category. You deserve to live as a minority in Pakiland.

As I`ve said before, the only consolation I have about people like you is that under Islamic rule (which every Muslim contributes toward), lefty types like yourself are the first to be hanged, or beheaded.

[Krishna-xyz,

You pathetic bloody moron,

You cannot enter into a rational debate with any person before first having complete details about his name, sex, caste creed, and similar details for the person`s friends and relatives.

This strong insistence on things other than the contents of a post exposes you as an opinionated bigot totally incapable of reasoning with logic.

If you need every interactors CV (as well as that of their friends and relatives) before you can interact with them, you probably need to have your head examined.

Run along, consult a psychiatrist, before it is too late. ]


Listen, idiot. You are a Islamist, and therefore by definition a pedophile-follower. You are the lowest of the low, an idiot amongst all idiots. You and your kind have been stupid enough to have been hoodwinked by a sex-maniac ``prophet`` who married 12 times, and was so depraved that he lusted after a little child of six when he was a man of 53 years with grey pubic hair. Have you ever seen a little child that is 6 years old?

The cunning hypocrite forbade his own son-in-law from marrying twice. After he died, his son-in-law took his revenge - he went on a marriage spree.

If you knew how much contempt I have for people like you, you probably would not believe it, brainwashed as you numbskulls are.

Your prophet married his own stepson`s wife, after seeing her naked (to consolidate the spread of Islam). He married many where Islamists cannot say that he was only ``consolidating his empire``. He was a sex-crazed maniac. He raped, and made it okay to rape, war booty women.

How much lower can you go. It is amazing that your kind has the guts to stand up and talk to others.

Keep your opinions about me to yourself, dickhead, if you cannot talk on point.

Give me a direct yes or no. Are you romantically involved with a Muslim woman?

[Actions speak louder than mere assertions. If they did want constitutional democracy, they would have taken the lead in prosecuting rioters in Mumbai and Gujarat. They did not. For many Muslims affected by the violence, there is not much practical difference between jihadis and violent members shielded by these organisations. ]

EVERY political party in the Indian subcontinent has some goondas in their cadre. There are NO exceptions to this rule. What I was referring to is their stated policy. As opposed to the stated policies of the jehadis of world domination.

Also, while I have stated this repeatedly that NO ONE has any excuse for even touching an innocent person, and EVERY person guilty in the Gujarat riots should be hanged - even Modi, if it can be proved in court, these animals were provoked by the Muslims themselves, by burning alive dozens of their party members - men, women and children - whereas the jehadis need no provocation.



[Where did I say your #230 was a personal attack? The personal attacks were in your subsequent posts. ]

I do not believe in personal attacks, unless it is to counter personal attacks.

Tell me which one was a personal attack.

Here`s a prediction - you`ll lose this argument.


[Well, if you had been honest enough to answer like you demand from others, you would also have to say whether you think your answer applies to a BJP-ruled Gujarat also.]

What the heck you are talking about? WHAT answer applies to Gujarat?


[As I said, for Muslims who lost 10-20 members of their families while they watched, there isn`t much difference between jihadis and communal rioters claiming allegiance to Hindutva organisations. To hold on to the moral upper ground they keep claiming over others, the Hindutva organisations who keep parroting Vasudeva kutumbakam should have shown more interest in helping Muslim victims. They showed none. For their victims there is no difference between their heartlessness and that of those who train and fund jihadis. ]

There is no difference between killers - like those Congress Party workers that butchered Sikhs around the country when Indira Gahdhi was killed, and the garden variety jehadi. But there is a BIG difference between the Congress Party and the Taleban. And between the Hindutva-vadis and the Taleban.

Why don`t you do this. If are so honest in your convictions, list out incidents involving the Hindutva-vadis and then I`ll list out incidents involving the jehadis. Then we can compare and contrast.

Here`s another prediction - you`ll cop out like the rest of your kin.
