yup and there's ppl who can play speed chess blindfolded against multiple opponents. i know someone who's good that way though not at that level. i play some too but got no patience and attention for long-drawn games. other person's ego starts gettin in the way. dont like it when they kick chairs n storm out after losing lol

i dont know abt winning that one. wld have to get into the mind n soul of it n then take a shot. theme might go along following lines-

- these things r often trusts with someone noble who gave to it; now she's gone, we must respect her wish to provide a place where ppl can worship in peace, without distraction;
- unless it's public property or run as business, gotta respect privacy...
- problem with us hindus is we always have an apologetic attitude abt things... even when others do it all the time..
- we exclude ppl all the time... no reason to vilify this one...

possible tactic- start by appearing open-minded, out to not praise caesar but to bury him lol; but see if i cld gradually make this into a anti-hindu/ stupid hindu-against-good-hindu tirade on the part of those who r vilfying. lot of real estate gotta be given the NOBLE LADYof course, i might even pull a portrait of her dating back to aurangzeb's time lol

that might win a few ppl who r on the fence, very hard to ever convert those who hate ur guts or r strongly pre-disposed to the other side.

Liked some of those; especially the one with the privacy tag to it.

I would probably cite some of the most recent explosions that struck Hindu temples, allude to the simmering tensions between Hindu Muslim communities, warn everyone how volatile the situation could get if a non-Hindu were to perform the religious rites in a way that could be construed sacrilegious by Hindus and basically start off by promoting at least a screening process for non-Hindus. And then, point out how difficult it is to screen people in a overpopulated place, the kind of resources that one would require to do that and how so not feasible it is; push the agenda to not allow non-Hindus to enter temples till things are more "stable". Later, it would become a case for continued peace and harmony so will push for status-quo.

lol ya i know what u mean. i see that with so much mindless chatter ppl like (not mine of course since i never have that lol). but it's really not hard at all. if u try, u can take the same topic other side n debate the heck against urself lol. i do that all the time mentally. lol

to ur other point: if it was so obvious, we'd have ppl jumpin in before. unless we missed something they werentexactly flyin out of the gates before lol

srsly u can take a like-minded group of love-fest buddies n always get em to click for you- there's a bunch that's overly attached to each other that way. lol amazing that people find the need for support groups even in virtual life. reminds me of an entire ecosystem that thrives living off each other. :) there's zero science when it come to predicting what they're about.

now a word in favor of "masses", when u can get folks u dont know that represent a cross-section of viewpoints n get em clickin for u on a serious topic (not chatter), then u know what u got is more than "masses". unless u think that they r stupid. anyways i'd take them over the usual cosy bunch of cronies. every time. lol

at this point one cant wait to see the hypocrisy ppl come up with to justify what they r wont to do. i'd be disappointed if they turned out otherwise. lol. thankfully the contorted reasoning will be there for all to see as it always is. only thing they dont ever realize is ppl actually see thru the farce lol

Thanx thats some revealation indeed !

i just wldnt take some of my comments here too seriously (esp the ones about middle class in india). some things r so obviously meant as spoof that i'd be insulting someone if i pointed that outright.:)

k K, i thought u had good points on the temple issue but that's just my 2 euro opinion. lol

hey, i cant wait for mommy's cooking, i m sick of the same stuff here, even lost weight i didnt want to. this weekend it's family n rajneeti, week/ weekend is pubbing w chicks. eat ur heart out guys :)

I got inspiration to write my next "article" for the "Who Am I' thread. The inspiration came from
a) Cuckoo's pointer about waging a debate from both sides in one's own mind
b) Karan's question of "what is good".

I hope to update that thread soon (after a long time).

Hints:

for a, it's particle and anti-particle colliding and annihilating each other
for b, it's relativity.

Mister K, I feel stupid around you. Maybe if I got over myself and my life, I'd be able to see things in a new light. Looking forward to your next article. :)

Apologies for being negligent.

I was not anticipating any participation. In fact I was prepping my argument against G. So I got thrown off by curve balls. I guess people can continue if they have more to say. I will close it when I have some time on my hands and can review the arguments and give objective feedback.

I have my notes for my arguments against G I was prepping so I can see the mettle of points and counter points made.

Anyway K. Judges the. The rum was all gone so they jumped ship. 😛

Haha, no problems. I guess we will all make our closing statements and call it a day. Give me a day or two, por favor. :)

Thats interesting, will look forward to reading the post. By relativity do you mean that, depending on where you are standing, the definition of what is good changes?

It also reminds me of relativistic morality that we discussed in the topic related to "Ram janam bhoomi temple" issue. Somehow, I think that morality may be relative, but not completely relative.
