This is going to be the way of life for 21st century.
A bomb or two blowing up somewhere in the world every day.
A suicider blowing himself up.
A police encoutner with 2 dozen un-identifieds killed.
A police jeep shattered into pieces.
A plane disappearing from sky.
A train off track with hundred dead.
This will be the new global civilization.
By year 2010 we all will be accustomed to the reality of a sudden violent death.
We will overlook such incidents like we do an accident on the highway..s
low down a little..
have a look...
make a comment..
oh looks like 2 dead..
speed up and start munching Doritos.

We are almost there. Guys, hang on another few painful years.

farhanarif #34 Werent you the one spouting piously on the Tahir Mirza board? As I said, you damned jamaatiyas are all a bunch of hypocrites, talking piously while your minds can only think of the ass of the mullah in front of you.

Stuka

World operates on the principle of give and take; not everything is black and white; and not everytime ``give`` means that someone is going to fornicate with your mother. As long as this process of give and take keeps on going the peace at large prevails. Your post# 31 is actually really very profound. Sometimes we have a tendency to attach false pride, greed, and injustice to our ``give`` part. Take for example India - on the matter of Kashmir in particular and its Muslim population in general - who has turned into that proverbial monkey who puts his hand in a jar and grabs as many nuts as possible and gets his hand stuck in the jar. Now the monkey jumps up and down and screams its head off but he is greedy; he wouldn`t let one nut slip thru his fingers. He cries foul; he curses nuts for his misery but refuses to acknowledge that it is not the nuts who have grabbed his hand, it is he who is holding all the nuts. The same predicament fits Israel in Palestine & US in Iraq, Afganistan, Korea, and middle east in general. They also equate letting go of (some of) the nuts to someone fornicating with their mothers.

It`s the nuts my friend the nuts. Moses said the same thing to pharoh ``Let my nuts go``.

Urstruly:

``Stuka

Yes, logically it will prevent bomb from exploding, wouldn`t it? ``

I don`t dispute the logic of your statement but ridicule it`s implications. The same logic could thus be given to all who are oppressed. Accept our terms or face elimination.

Urstruly:

``By the same logic if we take the reason of exploding in public place away from the people who want to do so, the explosions would never happen. ``

Excellent. So if someone wants to sleep with your sister and threatens you with a bomb, you will give her up to prevent an unnecessary bomb explosion?

If we somhow take the explosives, charges, and detonators away from those who want to explode them in public places, and hide them where they cannot reach them the explosions would never happen.

By the same logic if we take the reason of exploding in public place away from the people who want to do so, the explosions would never happen.

I think condemnations accomplish none of the above two methods to achieve a common goal i.e. prevention of explosions.

Veeresh:
``Do you think the bomb there would differentiate between people carrying the same surname from the same districts in say Kutch, but practising religions as various as the colours of the stones in their jewelry? Will the bomb be able to give you an idea of the religion of a person showing up in any list as, say, ``A. Mehta``? I don`t know about others, but I know Mehtas from Kutch/Gujarat who could be Hindu, Jain, Parsee or Muslim, maybe even Christian and Sikh if you look slightly further North. ``
Well said!
