Re: # 135

Riaz Mian,

show me a post where i called you name. Dont do that kind of thing it defeats the purpose. The problem with you is that you are intellectually dishonest. You dont quote your sources, you dont provide references - is it because you are scared that your sources are themselves discredited?

You quote gross statistics you prove your point when a any socialogist or economist will tell you that per capita numbers prove the rule

You refuse to answer any questions that are directly asked of you and you have this habit of dredging up bits and pieces that tend to show Hindus in a poor light. It is your delight in doing the later that gives me inspiration to show what a ignormaous you are.

Nothing personal. I am sure we could do lunch in shalimar next week - u game ?

Madani sahib you know you are not who you are pretending to be, you can make the same points as your real self without trying to mock our people using the kind of English you are using which is often given away by one or two high strung phrases. All your points are lost when in reality you are poking fun on the victims...

Re: # 131
giani,
I can see that you, along with your fellow two-bit bigots on Chowk, are really hyperventilating now. It's clear that your bunch lacks the necessary knowledge and the intellectual depth to deal with the serious questions about your Hindu faith and traditions, but any discussion of it sets your rear ends on fire. So you resort to personal insults and namecalling. What a shame!
Riaz Haq, PakAlumni Worldwide

madaniji,
#44

your post was a classic. Your humility & honesty are your biggest assets.
You are right. We NRIs & NRPs have this romanticized view of our roots & have a nasty habit of arguing about whose gutter is better.

Re: # 121

Masadi, I am like Anil. I dont like banning and dont like red flagging anything. Its so moronic. I would rather have mirth at seeing you make an ass of yourself repeatedly

Re: # 113
Riaz Mian,

It seems i have touched a raw nerve and I may not be the first one to have raised Intellectual Honesty issues with you. Would seem that this issue has come up in your past as well !!!!

Re: # 124

Malik You are right IMHO. The issue is how to fight it. I havent seen any answers yet and I dont claim to have any either.

Re: # 114
Masadi, now you are showing your aukat :). Live long and prosper.

I love it when people show their true colors.

The reference you idotic crapola was to the fact that you were sitting on what you call brains. Guess you are still sitting on them

Re: # 125
you make a valid argument. the lamenting of hindu/muslim or india/pakistan for their social standards or moral superiority over one another is pointless. i agree.

#124 they are looked down upon because of social precident in a society that is feudal in outlook whose feudalism is maintained by the West through avenues I mentioned. When forces greater than those for change are keeping a nation backward then it will remain backward and its working class will be looked down upon- if you lose sight of the real causes your lamenting any lamenting becomes worthless...

Re: # 115
Respectfully sir, without intending to jumpstart a competition here, please tell me if my observation is wrong:
Working poor are looked down upon in India and Pakistan.
There is a lack of compassion towards the weak and vulnerable. Crowd mentality in India and Pakistan is lethal. The self-righteous fundamentalists/fascists have enough clout to become the judge and the executioner.
