How about we play a game "spot the generalizations", just for fun?
Clue words used in support of generalizations: all, none, most, many, always, everyone, never, sometimes, some, usually, seldom, few, lot, lots, generally, in general, and overall.
- Most people in America don't earn that kind of income after decent degrees.
- I bet a lot of people dont know how to fill out any form properly
- Most americans are burger flippers, certainly no better.
- At 4500 dollars a month (exceeding 51K a year), you'd have most of the world wanting to be US nannies.
- Lots of white collar people have to be at blackberry beck and call all day/ night long
- There are a zillion laws that the feds can find most citizens breaking if they go after someone with all their resources
- Richards was getting a better deal than most of the world gets, and that goes for the average american Joe and Jill too, a lot of whom live on govt handouts.
- A lot of people would be better off being full-time nannies even at sangeeta richards' pay
- Indian courts might be notorious in that conviction rates are low and the wheels grind slowly. The positive is they generally do not wrongfully convict people.
- We (Indians) follow a hybrid that takes the best of english and american legal systems
- Indian judges have higher IQ than the dumb secretaries and nannies flooding american juries
- But trust americans to demonize people they want to go after. In fact, people are paid in the US to zealously go after people.
- Most people who have ever applied for a student visa to the US have been less than totally honest about their intentions.
- Most intend to settle in the US; yet most everyone state they will return back to India after studies.
- Given the nonsense American diplomats indulge in world-wide, one would have expected better sense of reciprocity and understanding on their part.
- (American instruction manuals) criminalize trivia and put millions of americans into jails year in year out (yet their crime stats keep going up)
- American employers regularly "thwart" the designs of employees that leave using no-compete and other clauses
- Thwarting and pressure tactics, in fact downright lying, it's the american way.
- Most (Indians) return (from US) only when they can find no jobs, else they stay back
hey this is so heartwarming, your attempts to extract the pearls of wisdom above. But really, one should start simple before getting to the high IQ stuff. With that in mind, can you now say banana?😆
Coming back to topic, even your latest quip about devyani not needing a maid unless she made the maid work hard is absurd. Things don't have to be one extreme or the other. For all we know, the actual labor might have been just a couple of hours, with the other hours being light. We do not really know. Also, having a live-in maid can be mutually beneficial. It saves costs both ways (housing/, food, utility bills, transport etc for the maid), and is often more practical. It does not have to be about making the maid work long hours just because she lives in... Culturally too, i can see where devyani was coming from. Servants in India often live in the same premise, and it gives them a roof over their heads... Its not hard to see why devyani would have done the same with this maid.
you also did not have any reasonable answer as to why devyani should not have filed a report when the maid went missing. Devyani could have gotten into more legal trouble if she had not... So how about you try to fix at least some of the many holes you've been running in all your arguments? I can always teach the advanced stuff later😆
