i might love/respect adore mr./mrs/miss X. I cant expect others too have the same love/respect for that person. and it would be sinful of me if i dictate others to follow the diktat. whoever that person may be.
Thanks for making your position clear. You have just given a serious notice for how to deal with you. But for your mr./mrs/miss X attitude, only a psuedointellectual like you could do it to Mahatma Gandhi. Disliking Mahatma Gandhi in private is one thing but not accepting it in public is utterly hypocritical. I have nothing more to tell someone who is so self centered and thinks of himself as being bigger than the father of the nation.
Ehh... when it really comes down to it, Gandhi was just a nationalist. He put nationalism above everything else -- human rights, economic progress, life, liberty, happiness, everything.
Lol..this is the best thing about threads in PR forum..a pakistani starts thread about India's tiny failure and then two Indians end up arguing on a name..and few others talking about World War.. Now how can I leave without posting my 2 cents.. Cent 1: I am a staunch "anti-nuke" guy but I have no clue what prompted US to nuke Japs. I just hope it was for the greater good. Cent 2: Don't enforce on others how Gandhiji should be called. I prefer to call him with a 'ji' but I don't expect all to do so. And I believe even Gandhiji won't be bothered about it a tiny bit.
If you leave aside those few dictators, eveyone who put nationalism above everything else did it for good. I think it takes care of the rest. It started off as my objection to the guy's (miscsoft) twisted projection of history. I don't expect all to do so -- The same here. But when you drop that "ji" for a misconceived reason, it hurts.
Alevoor, anyone who will drop 'ji' for any reason whatsoever will be hurtful to anyone who respects Gandhiji.. Just let it be dude..
sure my projection is "twisted". let me come to facts. the non-violence of gandhi resulted in a death of more than one million ppl, and that too on a conservative estimates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India how many jews hitler gassed?? and on more recent memory, we have seen how the followers of gandhi "peacefully" put burning tyres on the sikh. act of greatness indeed.
miscsoft: Nonviolence is a goal. Not a piece of statistic to use to decide after a certain stage. It's a concept to be understood and embraced. This may be untrue today, but it was very much a possibility that day. Thank you.
sure its a goal. now goal to achieve what?? same old stuffs, power, to rule etc etc. and whats the best part, one still worship the devil despite the "statistics". there is a price for every beliefs/concepts, violence or non-violence. had these beliefs/concepts had not been there, the world would have been a much better place. nothing is untrue, the mass murder continues till date, though you might be blinded by the "concept" for not to see the death of one million innocents "that day".
I give up. You win. I have nothing more to say to you after reading this --> sure its a goal. now goal to achieve what?? My belief is, goal in itself is an achievement >.<
To create employment first a nation should be safe. India's arsenal isn't as vast as other nations especially the ones who beg besides us. Look @ Pak, they don't reveal their defense expenses and they cut all other benefits for people, if they could stop and convert them military expenses - the nation might have been far better. for any nation. Safety first, for that u need to have reqd. armory Employment second
What are the odds that China will attack a prosperous India with more than low-level border skirmishes? .00000001%? What are the odds that Pakistan will attack a prosperous India with more than low-level border skirmishes? 1%? What are the odds that India could find better uses of that investment capital? 98.9999999%?
And that's what's being done. Although the percentage figure may be slightly higher than 1.00001%. 2.5% more... I have no objection if the Government of India reduces it further, that would only mean that we may produce less number of missles in the future. . This guy is a classic case of a nut job trying to make me believe that beggars have bigger military. haha ha. Yet, he says that they (Pakistan?) don't reveal their military budget. ROFLMAO... ROFLMAO... God, it's hard to deal with lunatics turned mads
