I posted this on the wrong board earlier.. here it is again....especially reproduced for sadhna :)

Sadhna,
Before you start throwing tomatoes, can I say something? :)

I inadvertantly (foolishly is probably more appropriate) caused a lot of hurt with my remarks in my infamous post #4 on the other board.
I would like to offer my deepest regret, and unconditional apology to you (have apologise to everybody on the other board).


You can start throwing tomatoes now if you wish :)


Stay happay

RE: Sadna

In situations like these, the conventional piece of advice ``choose someone of your own size`` comes in handy.

for all the paki masters of self-criticism that go berserk on the postings of vsn and Ramesh :

How many of you DENY that your khaki government does provide arms and training to your beloved beloved freedom fighter cartoons ? You think the money to pay for it all comes from the private bank accounts of mushy and his men and all those AK47 exhibiting clowns ?

How many of you say there were NO carcass of any NLI soldier among those mujahideen hoodlums killed in Kargil on our side of LoC ? what do you think they were doing there ? excavating dinosaur bones ?

how come you morons suddenly put on the mask of rationality and righteousness when there are postings by these same moral torchbeareres boasting of their startegy of slowly bleeding india and the stunning military ingenuity of the kargil operation.

THESE GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT FAVOUR to you by coming out in the open. IF YOU DON`T GET THE MESSAGE THEY TRY TO CONVEY, then no wonder your bosses don`t feel a pinch even when country after country smacks your back with red hot iron rod.

Rsaxena #148, ``. If only half the buffoons who`ve got their knickers in a knot would realize how you`re pushing their buttons and prompting redundant 600 word monologues from seeting Pakis.``

Yeah just like the buffoons who get their underwear in a knot at the mention of something critical of India. One of those buffoons is you.

Don`t deny it.

What goes around comes around.

As for the Pakistani basmati rice, read my post again, you didn`t get the gist of my message and thought I was gloating :). You can eat your Indian rice to hearts content. I`m sure it`s good.

Nice to see you back to your regular bigoted, sarcastic, snooty self.

sac #134

Discussion will be focused on this clown vsn now I guess. Can we please leave him alone? I guess not....sigh of resignation!!!!

I dont understrand Why I am a clown, moron, #$%&,.. etc.? I honestly raised a question. Everyone latched on to my throwing away the resumes from paki professionals.

Resume is only symbolic. There are lot of situations where I can legally not buy

services from pakis. They can be offering software services, products, or may be

seeking to be bought out, or partner etc. There otherways pakis are losing out.

If the relationship between the countries is friendly i am sure lot of indians

would have started software companies in karachi, lahore etc. It is extremely

difficult to get people in India now- and if pakis are not ready they would

have started 100s of NIITs. Now they dont do that. They dont get pakis on H1

to here. They dont send engineers from here back to pakistan to train more etc.

To hire a piddly programmer now and then to conform to policy is no big deal.

Forget the details. The pertinent question is are the pakis willing to bear the cost

of non coperation from a group 10 times bigger than them? If you add up what you are

losing to what you may have gained from cooperation it is huge. But still I dont

see anyone lobbying pakistan to change their indian policy. Maybe when the pain

reaches certain thershold they would start lobbying their govt? The pain can only

increase as the IT gap between Indians and pakis increase.

zahra #135

*The Pakistanis - who are your colleagues, neighbors or acquaintances in West, are not hiding in the trenches of Kargil or Siachen; ready to attack. [Hey, we do not believe in reincarnation. Being in two different places at one time is also not an acceptable notion.]

When did I insinuate that pakis in US are hostile to US Indians? On the otherhand

I alleged that they want to be buddies with us becuase it suits them.

- How do you know that the physicians are sponsoring any `madrassas`?

They hosted a lot of fund raisers in support of kashmiri cause. Madrassas

are indirect benificiaries of kashmiri cause.

- Do you know the meaning of a `madrassa`?

I know that they impart some kind midieval education which fills young minds with

hatred towards infidels.

- Are you under the misconception that if you shove the resumes` in a dustbin, you will deprive the candidate from achieving his/her dreams or desired goals ?

no - but i dont want to be on my concscience that I helped him make pots of money

which may find its way to the madrassas.

- Being Muslims, we believe in two very unique concepts: Qismet and Hikmut!

Hindus have been believing in predestiny and karma for millinea. Dont confuse your

hinduness with muslimness.

Urstruly,

You seem to be getting into trouble with gals lately? What seems to be the problem?

Sadna,

Would you like protection? I`m here if you need me.

sadna: actually I think most Indians on chowk are badly in need of such encouragement to concern themselves with their own shortcomings rather than pointing to others all the time.

Re: Herr VSN #129,

You say: ``I object to that conclusion. I can assure you that I am very intelligent. And my academic record and business success would prove that beyond any doubt.``

Mien Fuhrer, I request permission to speak freely:

Whether you are `intelligent` or not is a matter of how you define `intelligence`. But do consider the following:

1.If IQ was the only criteria to make one intelligent. Teddy Kaczinsky would be intelligent.

2.If business acumen was the only criteria to make one intelligent. Laloo Yadav would be intelligent.

3.If success was the only criteria to make one intelligent. Dawood Ibrahim would be intelligent.

4.If leadership was the only criteria to make one intelligent. Adolph Hitler nay Pol Freakin Pot would be intelligent.

I hope you get my drift.

I hope you understand that the systemic/ economic discrimination you are purporting is the same kind that eventually led to 6 million Jews being slaughtered. I hope you also understand that during that slaughter the Nazi `intelligencia` was feeling very `intelligent` indeed.

RE: Scout

I am feeling a little Scout-ish today.

The problem might be that, which temporal mentioned somewhere else.

Re: All

I have been following the thread on this interact and it seems that the discussion is once again getting personalized. Please refrain from personal attacks, because they will get you, or the argument you are making no where!

Please keep a modicum of civilility in your interacts and please try to show a little more empathy than rancor in your posts!

Thank you!

Ciao!
