The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would
never be found out. -Thomas Babington Macaulay, author and statesman (1800-1859)

Rawat Ji,
You can call me rajnish , You are elder to me.

>1. We are not going to turn into a bunch of navie(?)
>Indians, just because of her thinking.
-- yes , we are not going to turn navie just because someone thinks so.
But it is one's duty to let them know that they are incorrect in there
assumption.
Let me give you a scenerio .
Suppose someone call a friend of yours "Stupid". may be your friend will
ignore it think that he wil not become "Stupid" just because some one is
caling him "stupid".
Now the first person joins with another person and now both of them
call your friend "stupid" and laugh at him. how long it will take your
friend to break and say enough is enough.
Or will he not break at all.

>2. She never started preaching anything about her country.
>She never mentioned a word other than talking about Indian
>movies, and Shahrukh khan and Indian legal system.
here is the insert from her which will show she was speaking collectively
and
preaching.
*We don't hate either, but we fear both. Communists because for
years we
*believed that they were perfectly capable of (and willing to)
blast us out of
*existence with little or no provocation.
--here we stands for "americans"
--In next two paragraphs she is preaching and want us to belive that now
african-american are also
threat to her.
The Muslim thing is more complicated. Added to the 9/11 thing is an overlay
of
the race relations problem in this country - many African-Americans here
become
Muslim at least partly as a political statement. So added to the fear of the
unknown in the Middle East, you have the fear engendered by the unknown
across
the street.
I should especially note that most of us don't fear - or hate - on a
individual level - it's in the abstract. I guess that's human nature
anyway.
--if most of them don't fear or hate, then why the hate crimes after 9/11.
why the sadistic behaviour in abu-garib prison?
Let it be known to everybody in nukkad that it was not a personal attack on
Cynthia. If someone thinks otherwise than they are mistaken.
Also I am willing to loose 1000 cynthia rather than one guptaji from nukkad.
But since harshal has told him to leave indirectly and guptha ji has
already decided ,I don't have much to say.
But it would be still nice if guptaji stay's and forgive harsh word
spoken against him by some
nukkad members.
>Yes! I will not attack you after you fall. That is another
>loaded statement from you, thus I clarify that I will not
>attack you even before you fall. That is the value which
>differentiates human beings from wild animals.
>
--It is very comforting to know this. but rawat ji what will you do if
other people do not beleive in same principal as your. Note I am not
trying to be argumentative ,just curious.
Best
--RC.
