tahmed writes "why Gowalmandi, Lahore and Raja Bazar, Rawalpindi, despite their high population density are so lacking in patents..."

Apparently because while you were suffering from amnesia they went through a totally different history through colonization and the strengthening of feudalism by your capitalist friends from the white man's land. While the white man practiced land clearing through genocide to settle in areas previously occupied, he forced through colonization and its effects an unnatural haphazard mega city phenomenon, where the local bourgeoisie were deliberately kept behind and the feudals were strengthened and any attempts at alternative "fast track" state sponsored industrial development were choked by having the military hang the popular leaders....

Have a nice day and get an education you worshiper of the white man's sh**.

#47 Professor Masadi: With the definition of "lynching" implied in your post, you are revolutionizing the english language as well as economic theory. Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the Masadi Revolutions, doesnt this incredible brain of yours start overheating.

PS: I still patiently await the time series data on lynchings in the US to support your theories of capitalism, and your explanation of why Gowalmandi, Lahore and Raja Bazar, Rawalpindi, despite their high population density are so lacking in patents.

tahemd writes "the Human Reproduction Theory of Economic Growth, and Lynching as a Tool of Capitalism..."

Idiots like you when stumped can only obfuscate. Urbanization, division of labor and specialization all depend on demography, whatever you might want to call it, capitalism and modern social arrangements weren't delivered to the USA by Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Regarding lynching, check the mortality rates of young black men compared to young white men, that is how lynching is politely practices in your capitalist society of total the United States of KKK A, as the Right Rev Wright, Rightly Remarked........

Professor Masadi #44 writes "Rev Wright has it RIGHT"

Good. I shall add this to the list of Masadi Hypotheses for which you are going to provide supporting data. Unless you tell me that hazrat jibraeel relayed this message directly from God to you and so requires no data.

btw, you have not yet been able to provide data (ranting is not data) for your earlier two hypotheses (the Human Reproduction Theory of Economic Growth, and Lynching as a Tool of Capitalism).

{"Khan Bahadar Salim Rajput of Jaipur, Rajhastan,
...But my little studies tell me that violence is part of human psychology/nature and cannot be restricted to ideologies alone.

90% of the violence is personal in nature only ten percent is ideology related. ..What religion or ideology was Alexander promoting but he certainly promoted violence through many lands!...Hitler was not ideology driven, US and the Brits were not ideology driven in both first and second world wars. Their political and nationalist ambitions were behind all those murders. I mean what ideology sent the US to Iraq or even Vietnam?"}

HP Sain,
You make some good points - e.g. Alexander's "ideology." You are also off the mark when you list Hitler, Brits in WWI and WWII, and US in Vietnam and Iraq as examples of violence without ideology.
I agree with you that violence is inherently human. I think that we humans have "evolved," or rather "become crafty," in disguising our violence as part of some higher, nobler, and hence more justifiable, ideology. Thus, violence in the name of God, King, and Country. Violence inthe name of Catholicism. Jihad to preserve and protect Islam. Crusade to wrest the Holy Places from the infidels. Carpet bombing to make the world safe for democracy and exploding the atom bomb for humanity. I thing that we all understand what's been goin on.

Re #42,
"how do you know that i do not have passionate dialogues with atheist fundamentalists"
because you have not shared any of that at chowk. And because ur articles seem to imply a necessary connection between religion and coercion.


"do you think belief in a Personal God and Religion and Prophets and Scriptures and Life after death adds to human freedom and growth and evolution"

Any belief will promote freedom if,
1) it is not imposed on others.
2) encourages resistance to coercion by others

Do you think it is possible for belief in "Personal God and Religion and Prophets and Scriptures and Life after death" to fulfill these requirements?

Re: # 41
dear khurram...as i said before i like your creative thinking. I think there are more similarities than differences in our philosophy.
how do you know that i do not have passionate dialogues with atheist fundamentalists. I criticzed Communist states who had atheist fundamentalist attitude.
you are well aware that i am against fundamentalist ideology as well as fundamentalist personality. do you think belief in a Personal God and Religion and Prophets and Scriptures and Life after death adds to human freedom and growth and evolution?

Re #34, drsohail,
"for discussion sake if we divide any community in three groups
...religious fundamentalists
...religious humanists...believers
...secular humanists...non-believers"

Fo sake of completion why not add a fourth category - secular fundamentalists. Then you can see that the real issue is not belief vs non-belief but freedom vs coercion.
You have been fighting the wrong battle!

"dear khurram...even when i disagree with you, i love the way your mind thinks. you are a sincere seeker of truth."

Have to agree with that, and take this opportunity to join in congratulating khurram.

In fact, there are two individuals with very similar nicks (khurram and khuram?). One of them has always been quite impressive by his distinct readiness to both go beyond narrow interests and question taken-for-granted given assumptions (while still remaining a believer).

Kamath sahib,

The only way to deal with them is to ignore them altogether.

Re: # 36 What do you say Doc - Sohail:

Do you think some of writers and readers of Chowk are mildly sociopathic individuals ? They seem to think verbal abuse and other filthy language as legitimate tools of exchange. How can you deal with these guys?

Kamath

Re: # 27
Dear HP...Don't you think human beings, for thousands of years, are fighting tribal wars based on tribal mentality ...US / THEM. Over the centuries the nature and definition of tribes has changed
In the last century
In Middle East Muslims were fighting with jews
In India Pakistan border Muslims were fighting with Hindus
In the last decade Osama is fighting Bush...one calls it a crusade and the othe jihad. Bush said, ' if you are not with us you are against us" The difference is that in the past in tribal wars only a few hundred humans died with arrows and guns, now America can wipe out the whole humanity with nuclear weapons and commit collective suicide.
For me nationalism, communism and religion are all ideologies. thank you for sharing your thoughts.
sincerely sohail
