My statement about number of workers in India compared to workers in the US is based on company data. Most all major tech companies have far more workers in the US than anywhere else combined. I have read statistics for overall number of tech employees in Silicon Valley in general and I read 25% of all workers are of Asian descent. But I am not arguing about race. I'm arguing about countries. There is not Indian Google, or Indian Microsoft, or anything remotely close. And read the post sarathy above, you can tell how backwards people in India think. Sex before marriage is wrong? What year is it, 1300? They live like it's ancient times. -There is nothing wrong with sex before marriage. -Nothing wrong with homosexuality. -All religions are man made. Most people in India actually believe that Hindu stuff. (most people in America profess Christianity as their belief, but they do not practice it or take it seriously). And his other statements about "not knowing who your father is" and other crap, I don't know where he gets that from. I mean seriously, they live like it's 500 years ago.
Ok a few things to say, Mr Polo shirt you should live abroad for a while and see the world through a bit more open eyes. Living only in the US truly blurs your vision. Statements such as "indians are slaves" are just idiotic. Conservative groups in the us submit remarks like the story in the first post quite often.. then again the sole difference might be that the court actually heard the case (though perhaps they're required to in India?). There are different cultures in the world which believe it or not don't have the same principals. Sometimes its not merely government propaganda which creates these ideas. Take this for instance, in china there are a huge amount of cases where somebody is suing for libel and slander. Any idea why? Because people in china, and most of asia consider face incredibly important. People tell the wrong directions to me just so they don't have to admit that they don't know the way. Perhaps its idiocy but thats just the culture here. Now I'm pretty sure but isn't india a very religious country? Don't countries with predominantly religious populations tend to favor views which coincide with their religion (in cases of overpowering support)? Hmm.. I guess thats true, or at least it is in the US.. Assisted suicide laws in oregon are a good example (though i'm not up to date on this). Last I heard the federal gov. moved at the behest of bush to disallow lethal drugs to be shipped over state borders. Which really puts a crimp on those that needed/wanted this. Why was it done? To cater to a largely christian based voter base. A better first post could have been the recent one This gives information on something that is a big problem in India and which goes unnoticed by many. If i can compare china to india, those in large cities quite often forget the staggering difference in living conditions. People might earn in one month what those in towns are living in a year. 95% of the internet isn't american.. i think theres 100 million chinese users now.. Ok now lets look at the flip side.. the story and the person behind it is a bit of a nut.. unless the person has never kissed before and lives in a monastary or some such they don't have room to talk. people see and hear about kissing by the time their old enough to talk. Parents kiss in front of their kids or should this be banned as well? I think polo was more talking about a larger issue which more concerned with police harassing people doing PDAs.. This is wrong when it occurs anywhere in the USA or India. My junior middle school for instance had a rule that disallowed couples from holding hands and kissing in the halls, then again they also banned backpacks. reread your own message here, this is a totally unbalanced view just as some of polos statements before. People kissing in public places is bad because ________. I would like to hear you fill in the blank, and i guess i'm just a bad, bad boy I take offense at this, do you really believe we don't know who our parents are?? You gotta be kidding me.. Whoever told you something like that? Some people have strange ideas about the US, for instance the number 5 university in china (yep they're ranked, the higher ones get more money from the gov.) had an english teacher who told his students how everybody in the US has a Macintosh. Don't believe everything you hear!
I didn't say Indians are slaves. I said they're being enslaved by their fascist government. No conservative groups in America are suing over a KISS though. It doesn't get anywhere near that extreme. Most religions are intellectually primitive. If you looked at the stats, most of the richest and most educated countries in the world are much less religious than the poorest. Yes, but there is much much less poverty in China than in India and China is quickly becoming wealthier and wealthier. I think China is a great country. I'm talking about who OWNS the most popular sites. In terms of dollar wealth of internet companies, Americans probably own 90-95% of the internet. That's school and relating to kids, you cannot compare the two. He doesn't need to list a reason because there isn't one. Kissing in public is not bad or wrong. He lives in a primitive society.
Well, we've boiled it down now. Again, "Rosie O'Donnell in a polo shirt" here thinks that just because some people choose to live by a certain moral code, they're all Bible-thumping lemmings without a brain of their own. Big stretch there, Junior. You should get out more often. People are rarely 2-dimensional. Here's a news flash for you, stupid-ass: It takes a FAR more evolved brain to resist one's basest instincts than it does to live an "anything goes" lifestyle. Now who's "primitive"? Your OPINION is that there's nothing wrong with PDA, sex before marriage and homosexuality. That's ALL it is, an OPINION. And you're entitled to it. God bless America. Those who believe their opinions to be irrefutable are simply delusional. p.s. Leave my Indian brothers and sisters alone - They've done nothing to piss you off, go download some Bollywood movies (or better yet, CONTRIBUTE to the site).
okie dokie Enslaved means to make into a slave. If somebody has been enslaved they are slaves. I bet somebody tries to do it at least once a year.. It just doesn't end up before the courts which is the difference here, I wonder how many stupid cases are refused each year in the states. Maybe true but your trying to say the US isn't very religious when its just not true. The poverty and living/working conditions are insane here in many of the smaller cities. I agree with the second part of that, I like China a lot. I was simply giving a comparison.. I'm pretty sure that people in India tend not to want to say that its has bad living conditions. I doubt americans own 90-95% of the world's internet. Most of those chinese users have poor english and can only go to chinese based websites. Owning the largest businesses in a global economy like the internet doesn't mean you control it. Though the internet will stay English because of india how much of it will be in other languages within a year or two? True and the school is supposed to take on the role of the parent there. I agree with you there except the primitive society part. Live in another country for a while, people don't like to be called primitive.
This is the place for discussion like this I think.. He wants to speak so let him speak, open debate allows for people to progress and learn.
Religion and anti-socially progressive attitudes are basic instincts. People are naturally inclined to dislike anything that does not go with their own beliefs. That's being primitive.
What do you mean it would be an eye opener? I've read a lot about it and have seen travel shows (television) about it. It is not the best place to travel. What is there to see in India?
how foolishly you can run nude on roads? how stupidly do you do Gay and Lesbian marriage in your country ?? why da hell god made man n women and why da hell didnt he made only may for gays or women ? this is god's rule how can you relax nakedly on beach ? this is da most disgusting thing i've seen too
LOL - you have your historical timelines mixed up. Quit equating morality with religion - We all understand you have beef with religion, but there are absolute rights and wrongs, whether you believe it or not. The Roman Empire did real well with their "progressive" thinking, didn't they? Again, I say: It takes a FAR more evolved brain to resist one's basest instincts than it does to live an "anything goes" lifestyle. "What is there to see in India?" Boy, that's as closed-minded as I've ever seen. Pot, meet kettle.
Do you guys (Poloshirt and alike folks) does is always right? just because west allows kissing in public, movies, gay marriages and lot of other things...is right thing and other countries should follow? Let other country and its country men decide what's right and wrong for them, you are not a God or its avatar to teach the world a way of living...
Wow - this post has definitely blown out of proportion. What is really funny that a lot of smart people have engaged themselves in a discussion with MrPolo's stupid rant. FIX YOUR COUNTRY - what is that suppose to mean anyway? If India has censor board - why do others (non-indians) really care? Most of the white people in US I ran in past (before the whole outsourcing boom) knew about India is Snake Charming and Taj Mahal. Then Clinton visits India - he falls in love with the country and visits again and again. Bush visits India - I don't really think he fell in love with the country but he loved the money that was about to go to his friend's pockets by giving India the Civil Nuke Technology. And these days - most of the white people know about India is "Thank you for calling AOL - my name is Steve/Mark/Julie/Cindy, how may I help you?" And we are discussing about a KISS in a movie?
Probably an eye openener aswell as a large doctors bill, India still doesnt have clean water and has diseases that are long gone in the west. Id also be to scared to drive on them roads where all the vehicles look like there 100 years old aswell as poor safety lighting and signing on roads.
Yes We live in 1400 not 21 because America & European who live in 21 will kiss Horse, Dog, Gay ,Lesbian . What u think Jesus Said to kiss & sex with EVERY BODY ??? Do U want that ur Sis or Wife USe Different Guys Every night ? Thanks
There are many many things which are not true. Yes thats the reason India is still a "Developing Country" and thats the reason all multinationals including American big boys are after India and China...they see that the only way to survive their company and in turn American economy. Mind you no country is ideal! even in America or any other developed country you will find beggers, buglars, and mess. The fact is so called bigger and western nations are somewhat threatend due to growth of these developing nations like india. They and even some of citizens are not comfortable with an idea that a poor country is poised to threaten their position....so they try to picutre poor part of the country...problems and say you are poor.....wait and watch country for next decade
