Have a break, have a Chit Chat - Page 3

^^ Yeah, yeah, but you evaded a direct answer to both questions Angie :)

1. Do humans, as a race, deserve punishment for what they did/do to animals?
2. Is the ability to survive, like bacteria or roaches (you also used the word "performs"!), more powerful than having intelligence? BTW, powerful or desirable? What is more applicable?

Finally!! What a LEGEND!! <3 this has the makings of a great final vs rafa



So I 'liked' a SRK film after years - by like I mean didn't find absolutely awful. He's gotta stop with crap like HNY, Dilwale, JTHJ type awful movies. Is it weird that I didn't actually feel bad for his character? Don't know if his character was poorly written or the acting was mediocre. (I didn't know till 5mins ago that it was loosely based on Abdul Latif)

Also, enter customary tube strike rant here.

I don't think it is that easy to absolve individuals. We all have directly or indirectly contributed to the cruelty heaped on animals. Take animal testing alone when developing medical treatments or determining the toxicity of medications for human use etc. History has it that research on living animals has been practiced ever since 500 BC. So, even if one doesn't eat meat, everything else should count too (ever been to a circus?!)

Point is, if it is OK for a superior intelligence to trample on lesser intelligence, it should be OK  for a more advanced alien race to trample on us humans too and we shouldn't curse / blame God then.

But, in order for us (read, our intelligence) to survive/thrive, more often than not, we *had to* do what we did. namely, eat meat or do animal testing because there were / are no adequate alternatives.

If that's the only way intelligence could have survived, then ethics / morals are bogus and don't mean anything in the big picture.

There was a time when I really liked him (in movies like Darr, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Dil Se)

Later the movies in which he starred,  which I liked, were few and far between. A Swades here, a Billu there (yes, Billu! 😆)

I don't know when it happened or how it happened but I have pure aversion to watching a full movie of his now. I find most of his facial expressions unwatchable unless he makes a deliberate attempt to NOT act, like say in the movie Fan where in one role he "acted" as himself)  I watched Fan because some reviews said one of his characters had shades of what he did in Darr. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me :)

OMFG Federer vs Nadal be real. Fadal. My heart. I am going to sob so much.

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naan remains his best role to date
