Guess there is a lot of confusion in here. Let me clear it without baseless characterising:
So look at the list again (do it! really!!)
Romans v. Christian converts (Always a problem, has been since the division, problem on a philisophical level, not personal, countless examples of intermarriage and other personal deals) Catholic v. Protestant (Always a problem, has been since the division, problem on a philisophical level, not personal, countless examples of intermarriage and other personal deals) Sunni v. Shi'a (Always a problem, has been since the division, problem on a philisophical level, not personal, many examples of intermarriage, countless examples of personal deals) Shi'a v. Baha'i (no idea) Hundu v. Sikh (Never a problem, Sikhism was originally found for saving Hinduism - later they seperated, not a problem on philosophical level[1], 1984 sikh riots were personal - not philosophical, personal, many examples of intermarriage[2], countless examples of personal deals) Christian v. Mormon (no idea) Jew v. (no idea) Southern Baptist v. Fossils (problem on a philisophical level, not personal, countless examples of intermarriage and other personal deals)
This oddity was what I was against. NOW can you see it?
[1] For all people who believe in something, when involved in a debate involving that belief, have trouble with opposing side.
Dharma and Greg TV show
(3) Did I reference other religious groups difficulties with Hinduism? Yes. I did that.
So here is your reference. Because I say Hinduism is about toleration, you come up with your own bias and accuse me of I don't know what!
The core philosophy of Hinduism is there is one Brahma, and every one's duty is to realize It. It is the only Perfect Thing and all realizations by a human is bound to be imperfect, and every one has a way to realize it. So Hinduism has many gods, which all refer to many facets of one Brahma, but every one is allowed to worship his own god. If I want I can create a god of my own and teach my children to pray it... this is the reason Hinduism has different sects, each having a different way of how to have realization. Did that interest you? I bet it didn't because you are already predisposed to Your Own Definition of What A Religion Is(TM).
(4) Did you claim that "Tolerating IS the sense of Hinduism" or that "don't you want to be a little more knowledge full before delivering your judgments" to a person who was more correct than you? Yes. You did that.
Read the above paragraph again. If it is not "toleration" I don't know what is.
(2) Did I claim that Sikh's were left alone by other groups? No. I did not.
When did I claim Sikhs are left alone group or they aren't? I presented you the facts of Anti-Sikh riots of 1984 to show how it is was not against religion but against Punjabi and this is what you understand?
(5) Junglee_iitk, are you wrong in every possible meaning of the word concerning your various (and remarkably ignorant) statements? Yes. Yes, you are.
OH! YOU GOT ME!! MY PANTS ARE ON FIRE; RUN JUNGLEE_IITK RUN!!!
Yesterday I had a fight with my friend, who is Punjabi. Since I am Hindu and he is Sikh, this proves that we were fighting about our beliefs and were "exposing" it to each other.
Oh I am sorry, the Punjabi guy was from Pakistan. Replace Sikhism with Islam. If he is from Gujarat instead, that just proves it more!
(1) Did at any point I claim other religions were not hostile? No. I did not.
Did I ever say that?
Now click on one of the links in my previous post. AND READ IT! It was there to show the flaws of your references - relating an event to some sort of "clandestine battle
Your examples of Deepa Mehta and Golden Temple describe your point of presenting trouble between sikhs and hindus or intolerance in Hinduism is just another way of saying Islam is always at fault because Taliban was muslim.
Or Linux is a faulty system because some people do zealotry.
There is a hole around you, should take a look outside of it sometime.
Extremists are everywhere. Come again with a better example.
For what it's worth, I am a nihilist and personally do not believe in Gods.
Now that you mention it, I will tell you something. Coming from India where I have enjoyed more religions and beliefs surrounding me than anyone from a foreign country will probably ever be able to imagine.And here is the truth of religious tolerace:
Give people food and they will not kill you
Sikhs are basically all Punjabis: they are business men. Years ago a riot happened because Sikhs were ruling the business class in Delhi and natives were pissed. Go to Delhi today (or before), there are more inter-religion marriages than any where in the world. Deepa Mehta is an idiot socialite whore, nonetheless she should have been allowed to what she wanted to. Unfortunately, world is not America, and freedom of everything is regularly laughed upon in households there (freedom to have guns for example). Welcome to the real world. Your system is different, not best. Again I say, extremists are everywhere, they are minority everywhere, they are noisiest everywhere, and characterizing any theory from extremists is stupid.
Regarding Scientology, it is a US phenomena which is sucking its system until copyright expires. They are probably counting on Disney for their future, while making money of richest people. I don't know of political campaigns, but I don't know of any religion which started out from rich and then became popular. Scientology is doomed, except probably in US... I don't know.
Regular bashing of religion got you mod points. As some one once said, moderator pool is trash.
Come in India... it is a little different from your world. It is like Europe 200 years ago.
I can write and essay about Hindu-Muslim riots but that won't change your thinking. Internet is full of evidence...
Citing "Operation Bluestar" for Hindu-Sikh problem and telling me to "research" is pot calling kettle black. Do you believe ChristianityandSikhism has problems and then go on to say to it is because of religion?
A guy telling you a consistent and supposedly logical story about how clouds are made of wool would have been believable two thousand years ago, the bottom line being that all these stories tell you something: something related to moral.
Scientology doesn't. That's the major point. If someone comes up with new religion, there is nothing inherently wrong with it. For every society needs certain rules. Rememeber, democracy is new. Brainwash by RIAA is hard. It would have been a lot easier if it were a religion. Because all religions are followed because they fulfill some need, mental piece for an individual. I have no problem with such a religion. If that makes you successful what is wrong with it?
And that is where Scientology fails. It has nothing to offer. It has everything to take.
Are you kidding me? Hinduism has problems with Sikhism?
Tolerating IS the sense of Hinduism. There are people who are dick heads but where they ain't? There are dick heads in Linux zealotry.
Bashing religion without making any point is a cult at Slashdot. But don't you want to be a little more knowledge full before delivering your judgments?
My point is that if you are trying to convince a Chinese person that Tibet deserve to be separated, and used their distinct culture and language as the reason, then by that reason many more parts of China also deserve to be separated.
Why does anyone have to convince Chinese people that Tibet is different? They are more different than America and Britain between each other, does not mean we need to ask Britain if we are different or not!
But that is West. I will stay near China. How is Taiwan different than China? They speak mandarin and write in traditional Chinese, still Taiwan is recognised as different (by rest of the World). Look at Kashmir, it is much different than, say, Punjab (in India or Pakistan), but they are fighting for independence/merger for Pakistan/India and so on (given the situation is much more complex than I mention here).
The bottom line is no one needs to ask anyone. If Tibetan realize a different culture and identify with different nation, who is China is to "apply" lets-be-together-we-Qing-followers formula to them? Your logic of proving how Tibet is not too different is flawed because your examples come from China and not Tibet. Classic case of "begging the question".
Sadly it is true. Even the technical institutes chose Microsoft because they need funding.
But what to expect from a third world country. Their priority does not lie with the technical merits of document files (they will still take printouts and put them in big files - this will not be undone because it creates employment) and one cannot blame them for it.
1. Firefox is much more customizable. Opera hangs on me. I am using opensuse 10.2 with both opera and firefox pre-installed. And Opera hangs on me for almost everypage with very heavy javascripts (read AJAX). Pretty common these days, huh.
2. Barely plausible, but I don't have ALSA installed. Instead, I listen from OSS, which Opera does not support while Firefox does (out of the box)
I never understood why life coming from outside is not widely accepted theory. There have been manyproofs in the past. It is highly probable if compared to life evolving from a giant organic soup. The only problem was how, and now that also seems to be satisfactorily answered,
There is just so much misinformation. I did a a sociology course on Population and Economy, here is what I was thought:
1) During last century, birth-rate has become almost constant because of improvements in medical science, and these improvements being available to poor.
2) The deciding factor on population growth is thus, and the ONLY major part: death-rate.
That's right! Because life increasing medicines and cure for terminal diseases have still not reached third world country. So, here goes your logic on current population list. Parent is totally right, because today's situation is not at all like 17 and 18 hundreds when difference between poor and rich were not so bad with respect to curing terminal illness.
Then you haven't played any 3D game which required high interactivity.
I used to play Quake3A on my desktop, the only reason I installed Gentoo back then because my Unichrome driver required compiling X11 sources and all... and this is almost 1 year ago. The FPS was always higher than Linux, constantly fluctuating between 90-120, while on Windows it was constant at 104 (or 105). But while playing, suddenly after some time, the game will halt for a fraction of second. Just a fraction of second! Enough to lose!
That is all this RTFA has. Play the damn game, or ask the users!
Because we all pay for those BBC programmes with the special TV tax, this is unacceptable.
This argument has been given a lot of times before and has been beaten down to death. Right now I am too tired and sleepy and cannot be bothered to find citations, but the special TV tax does NOT include distribution over internet. You (and moderators) can look at any previous discussions about this subject.
This does not mean use of DRM is any good or a decision full of foresight.
