    Question Is aneeshm an imposition on Apolyton, or a product of Apolyton's evolution?

    Another question which I was thinking on for about a minute as a laugh.

    A lot of people, especially in the West, tend to consider aneeshm as something imposed on Apolyton in order to make Apolyton confirm to his vision.

    On the other hand, the predominant Indian attitude is that anseeshm is something that evolved out of Apolyton, and thus changes as Apolyton changes, but also changes Apolyton as it itself changes. It's a much more orgasmic relationship.

    After little thought, I came to the conclusion that this was primarily because the main "Western" interpretation of aneeshm, in today's context, are as simplistic, and worthy of ridicule - that is, they mandate a code not just of morality and a set of spiritual or philosophical guidelines, but also a code of laws (ie responding to each of his posts by mentioning the origins of Hindu civilization). This code of laws was not just in the form of general principles, but in the form of ironclad rules, leading to its being used in all threads started by aneeshm.

    The problem arose when this legalist code could not adopt to changing circumstances - given that it was dictated in God's name, changing it became impossible. Basically, it started to get tired.

    The issue is that now, strictly following the rules of any running gag is absolutely impossible.

    The further consequence is that this leads to a slow death of humor, for that which cannot change and adapt is doomed to perish.

    A question then arose: how can we salvage the good parts of making fun of aneeshm, and renew and resurrect the tradition itself, which has fallen to sorry depths?

    No, he made a simple statement of fact without regard to what Holland's neighbours might be.

    Incomplete. He did so to counter my assertion Antwerp, ergo Belgium, has an appreciable street-cricket scene.
