I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

I obviously missed the bit where you volunteered to fight to defend your country. Easy for you to send our troops into battle from your cozy drunken student house isn't it.Originally posted by Park Avenue No-one ever claimed that the probability of a successful threat would be reduced to 0%.
In fact, I'd love it to happen. It'd get rid of a fair few of the whinging cowards on our great island.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Tripledoc,
"All hindi's hate muslims"
Do they really ?? first off, they are Hindu's not Hindi's (Hindi is the language many people in India speak).
Secondly, they are human beings, and are subject to the the same wonderful diversity as all other groups.
Finally, Many Hindu's regularly attend Church, Mosque, Temple and Gurudwara's .. unlike almost any other religion on earth .. if you took the time to go to India and meet the people you speak for, you'd discover the culture in India is accepting of almost all religeous ideology (even if it contradicts) .. What they don't accept (and nor does any other religious person worth their salt) is violence to acheive a goal .. Gandhi should be a role model for all who are oppressed.
Of course there are bad in all society .. but that does not mean ALL society is bad."Wherever wood floats, you will find the British" . NapoleonComment

I have never read or heard of a Hindu who did not hate Muslims. Except Ahrundati Roy, a Communist, but remarkably sane.
Why if you are so accepting of other religions do you allow for the burning down of mosques and the massacre of Muslims? All instigated by Hindu-nationalist politicians. Why were these politicians not punished? Is India not a Democracy where there is rule of law?
It does from the outside look as if a large part of the Indian political elite accepts the occasional anti-muslim massacre just to give the poor rabble something to divert their attention from.Comment

That's bull****. Most Hindus don't hate Moslems, just as the converse is true. Just because there have been Hindu fundamentalists in control of the Gujurati gov't, doesn't mean all Hindus are intolerant. And to India's credit, it did a decent job of investigating the matter.
And yes, the Indian gov't unforunately turns blind eye to persecution of Moslems far too often, but then again, the gov't in Bangladesh for instance (another democracy with rule of law), has been turning a blind eye towards persecution of Hindus far too often."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

As much as the poor French, I presume.“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)Comment

Bush delivered an absolutely beautiful and amazing speech today durting his visit to England, at Whitehall Palace .
There are so many great quotes, I don't where to even begin but you can read the full transcript here:
'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

It was a good speech. My compliments to his Speechwriters for finding so many excellent Brits to mention.
