some candidates for the darwin awards: too bad they remain in the gene pool
dec 29th, 2009
excessive dependence on your GPS systems can be injurious to your health.
"GPS almost did 'em in and GPS saved 'em. It will give you options to pick the shortest route. You certainly get the shortest route. But it may not be a safe route."
— Klamath County Sheriff Tim Evingertalking about a couple who ended up trapped in the snow for three days when their SUV's navigation system directed them down a remote forest road in Eastern Oregon (they were rescued when their GPS-equipped cell phone finally got a strong-enough signal to contact 911).

Kolkata High Court: Muslim youth 's forced marriage to minor Hindu girl is legal
dec 29th, 2009
this is not 'elopement', it is abduction, forced marriage, and statutory rape of a minor.
at least one of these is, if i am not mistaken, non-bailable offence.
yet if a mohammedan does this to a hindu girl, it is perfectly okay.
why aren't the NGO harpies and the Natl Commission for Women up in arms?

Kidnapping and then marrying an underage Hindu girl is 'legal' because the sharia says so? Since when have Hindu victims been judged by muslim law? And where are our pulpit thumping Arnabs and Sagarikas and the Hashmis and Roys and Pandeys and azmis? What, no bellowing, no thundering, no haranguing? Give me my dose of self-righteous anger Arnnab and co. I am sure all your channels will send your investigating journos who will find evidence that the girl was a major after all and turned 18 the exact minute when the as....married her. RR

new narrative on china: poor, misunderstood, lonely, well-meaning superpower
dec 29th, 2009
i love this new positioning, the latest after 'peaceful rise'.
and equally meaningless. the truth is "predatory, imperialistic, racist, unethical, nasty, fascist nation".
the fact is china speaks out of both sides of its mouth. when convenient, it claims it is a poor developing country. but its aspirations are those of a developed country. eg. in copenhagen it kept claiming it is a poor developing country, which is a nice smokescreen for the fact that it is THE BIGGEST CARBON EMITTER, and that it is building new coal-powered electric power plants at the rate of one a week. and then it got an agreement that prevents anybody from monitoring its emissions! thus, running with the hares and hunting with the hounds. clever, these people.
why isn't anybody manufacturing new narratives for india? isn't that what the bureaucracy is supposed to do? something along the lines of the "good superpower" (as opposed to the "bad superpower", china)?

'chindia' is garbage: new book
http://bit.ly/4YB5VQchanakya said it best long ago: your neighboring power is by definition your enemy.
now that china swallowed the buffer state tibet, it is naturally india's enemy.
in fact china is india's worst enemy. pakistan is a chinese project: they use pakistan
as a force multiplier by giving them say $100 m worth of nuclear and other materials.
pakistan uses its fundamentalists to convert this into $1000 m worth of hassle for india.
great return on investment for china.
then there are all the insurrections -- in the northeast and in nepal and in the
so-called 'maoist' areas.
then there is the 'string of pearls' strategy -- cocos islands in burma, hambantota in
sri lanka, gwadar in baluchistan -- all ports for china to encircle india.
if india were to ensure that there is some pain to china in its conspiracy against india,
it would desist. the hans are well-behaved if there is some pain applied to their bottoms.
hans show how much they care for limeys or mohammedans: they execute one akmal shaikh
dec 28th, 2009
why aren't the pakistanis or NDTV weeping buckets and hurling abuse? what, vishnu 'swiss-minaret-rage-boy' som sleeping?
