    Corruption is a lack of honor,how do you teach full grown adults honor? By the time someone is old enough to be in a position where they can cheat their fellow citizens it is far too late to change them.Once rot has set in wood needs to be replaced.We can't change these people,only identify them and replace them with those who have some honor.

    Corruption within society occurred on the first day of the year 0.

    By bringing to Justice and Reversing the acts of the Crucifiers, Corruption in Society can be defeated.

    Sorry to be a wet blanket, but in the decade plus I've participated in forums its been noted the vast majority of users from your country have virtually zero regard for rules. There are exceptions, but as a source of spam, dup IDs, puppet shows, and scams... you pretty much live at ground zero.

    That's not prejudice, that's a statistic. Moderate a forum if you doubt it.

    Case in point, there's a rule in here against making back-to-back posts... But your post that I quoted is one of 4 consecutive posts you made in this thread. What makes you think passing some new rule is going to magically make your politicians follow rules when you yourself have no respect for rules?

    When I first came here I too wondered about this back to back post business.But after being here awhile and seeing this,I eventually got the impression most of those that do it are posting their 2nd post as a "P.S.".If I wish to add I go back and edit my 1st post and then add,keeping it to just one post.

    Why he did it isn't the point. He made four in a row. It's against the rules. If the people calling for new rules are themselves not concerned with rules, what makes them think their politicians are going to magically be different?

    Can you imagine a black hat forum that put a block on Indian IPs? What percentage of their membership would they lose? Black hat is all about doing stuff prohibited by rules. I just find it absurd to think your politicians are going to be bound by rules when their constituents are experts at getting around them.

    While I agree with your statements as I live here and know better of my countrymen, I would Like to add that multiple posts in a row are result of thread merging.
    Courtesy my reporting of several threads on the same issue..

    Lol. I stand corrected... That one run of multiple posts is the only example available, since aside from that all other guys from India have scrupulously followed rules and have never participated in black hat behavior.

    The Funny thing is, people from USA or Canada think that India is full of moron and every Indian is a freaking Idiot.. But the truth is, we have the same percentage of idiots in India as you have in the US or Canada.
    But we are 1.2 billion people man, that's 8 zeros on 12!! Let's say even if only 30% people of India are morons, we have more morons than all the people you have in United States..

    The sheer number is overwhelming. You will see more moron from India than you see all the people from USA, on the internet... I don't blame ya!!

    Never mentioned morons or idiots, reread what i said. A statistic is what it is regardless of the origin of the speaker.

    No, that was me speaking generally.. It wasn't directed at your that post specifically but something that you have said earlier..

    Statistic, that's what I was talking about too.
    The statistics show majority of spammers originate from India, because lets face it - 1.2 billion people, that's a lot of heads..
    A small percentage of that number is still a very large number. So the sheer number is overwhelming, not the percentage.

    If you imply that just because majority of spam/dupe account originates from India, Indians are generally all spammers then sorry to say it mate, it is prejudice.

    You didn't call them idiots or morons, but I do..
    If someone spams my forum or blog, I'd call them morons.


    I dunno why I quoted that post of yours. May be I was thinking about responding to that post but I didn't.. Or may be I just had the brain fart.


    PS: I see I can still edit the post. Removed your post from quote..

    You don't think that this good old boy from Texas might be prejudiced do you? I'm sure underneath that big cowboy hat is a very open mind.

    Prejudice doesn't create statistics... actions do. Find another mod of any major forum and ask them if I made up what I said.
    Re-read my posts... I did not say the majority of spam/dup accounts originate from India, I said the majority of accounts registered from India engage in the spammy practices I named. Not the same.

    If I say "the majority of vehicles built by Ford are pickups", I've not said "the majority of pickups are built by Ford".

    You're arguing against a point I haven't made. Noting a statistic isn't "prejudice"... It would only be prejudice if I took that stat and generalized it by saying "all Indians are spammers". That of course isnt the case, and I have neither suggested nor implied that all Indians are spammers.

    So basically you only think I'm prejudiced because of an accidental misinterpretation of my statement.

    Well in that case, I stand corrected and apologize for the misinterpretation of your statement...



    At Topic: Team Hazare has seem to score against the government stubbornness, as Indian govt. bowed down and agreed for a consideration of a new and fresh draft of Lokpal Bill.

    Please go back and reread my post on this thread #88.Yes it "seems' the government has backed down.Now read post #88 to see what will happen.I based my post on my understanding of how I perceive how things work in India,and on my perceptions of human nature as a whole.
