You are quite worked up, aren't you? Well so much for the pretence
of sarcasm and witless humor that you choose to parade on the net. Apparently
somebody forgot to teach you to practise what you preach. Oh, I forgot for
a Pavlovian experiment like you, learning by the process of trial and error
is your forte. 

"nuances"--defined according to you that would be making sufficient postings
to outrival Deb and make it to the number 1 spot on the SCI citation list.
Thank you for asking, though.

Forget it as a wasted effort on my part. With a twerp like you, it's

No my hatchets are not buried as far as you are concerned, not yet anyway.

      Cheers, Balaji.  *raises beer mug*
      When will people realize that ethnic purification, and
      borders erected for the purpose of ethnic purification, 
      are -and always have been- the most important weapons
      in the oppression of human beings by other human beings.
      It is sad that any borders should exist at all but for
      management purposes, ie. one can't eat a whole pie in 
      one bite; it must first be cut into manageable pieces.

It seems that the WHO is issuing lists under the pressure of  powerful 
'meat lobby' -at least so it seems . It is an established 
fact that plants and dairy products are a much better source of 
essential nutrients, and economical as well (in terms of yield/acre etc- see 
accompanying post on' Meat eating and world hunger'). I have a

Please elaborate.  Where are we going wrong, and how can we improve?
According to me there is no discrimination against muslims in India
in any form.  My theory is that muslims in India are better off in
India than in any so called Islamic states (A Bangladeshi called Shakil
has convinced me that there are no true Islamic states).  All the Indian
muslims I have met love India as much as I do.  Despite what Deb has
to say I maintain that muslims have had a great contribution to India
and are more important to India then the ones who claim that muslims 
and hindus cannot live together.  I am sure most Indians do not subscribe
to the view that India and Pakistan should politically unite (According
to me India should have no relations with Pakistan till they
stop support to terrorists), I for one am happy with the creation of
Pakistan.  Some muslims after partition rejected staying in a country
where there is a chance of a hindu (As India is a democracy it cannot
be gauranteed) leader, as muslims had ruled India for centuries, they
would have never allowed hindus and muslims to coexist, for them the
land sacrificed by the Indian union is a good investment.  Though I
believe they do not deserve any more(eg Kashmir).

Tireless is the course of civilization. Ever since the first primeval 
spark of life on this planet, evolution continues to throw up new
and bizarre evidence of activity. A language is also similar, and
new words and phrases emerge everyday. Here are some of them which
in all likelihood can become popular:

		* New DebaniCions *

to do a deb:  to take over by force; to plunder.

	Ex: The world watched in horror as Iraq did a deb on Kuwait.

deblete:  remove all traces of civilization; primitivize.

	Ex: The volunteers now living in a glass ecosystem for 2 years
	    started out by fully debleting it.

to debb:  to flood a place with unwanted material.

	Ex: It is often annoying to reach home and check the mailbox
	    only to see it debbed with discount coupons from
	    Kroger and Walgreens.

deblore:  render a subject completely meaningless.

	Ex: Many people consider the current attempt by political parties
	    in the US to deblore the issue of a candidate's private life
	    as yet another gimmick played on a weary public.

as good as deb: (irony) completely devoid of use; worthless.

	Ex: The class burst into laughter when the professor pronounced
	    John's term paper "Wonderful! As good as deb!".

debracate:  use swear words as fillers; abuse viciously.

	Ex: On learning that he had missed an A grade only because
	    of his low attendance, Tom angrily stomped around
	    and debracated.

debthreat:  a mode of greeting which recognizes the transience of life.

	Ex: When Rajiv Gandhi visited the Sriperumbudur constituency,
	    an LTTE activist greeted him with a debthreat, after which,
	    she garlanded him.

A Hindi song (Hamne dekhi hai in ankhon ki mehakti khushboo...)
talks about love -

Ek ehsaas hai ye ruh se mehsoos karo
Pyar ko pyar hee rehne do koi naam na do...

What I feel is that:


NBC nodoubt earned good credit for it's coverage of the Olympics
but there's certainly one point when it acted the most "UNSPORTIVELY" !

Bob (Costas) & Co was frequently speculating that the Chinese and other 
atheletes took drugs to "beat the Americans" (esp. female swimmers)
whom it thinks the  only great swimmers in the world and none else !!!

A good sportsman always recognises the talent in his/her sporting rival 
if he/she looses in the race. 
And they went so forward that they could comment so inhumanly that some
females display male features!?!  I wonder how could anyone be so mean
especially in such an extravagant sporting camp. If they could dare to
look at themselves, there are quite a few females in the U.S contingent
too, that would fit the above comment.

As the out-side world sees it, the U.S. atheletes have shown some 
excellent performances in Barcelona. We can name atleast one person in
every event they participated. The sagas of Mark Lenzi, Gail (Devers),
Mary Clark, Shannon Miller, one Mr.High_Bars,Jackie Kersee and 
almost all the swimmers are verymuch exciting/inspiring forever. The 
fight Dave put to grab a medal (from down under) is always a model.
Jennifer winning over Steffi is not a small feat either.
And not to mention, I always feel that the U.S. would be the luckiest
country to produce a great Sports(Gentle)man named Carl Lewis. So,
to be frank, all the gold medals do not certainly mean "DRUGS" for
the United States! 

They must be in a very false impression that "though the Games end,
the whisper(created and designed by the Media) remains". But what
remained in the end is a mark of unsportiveness on the face of the NBC.

Let's pray the god to inject some sportiveness in the U.S.Media.

This comes from a lack of understanding of the basic process of Bahai
worship. Bahaullah says, any work performed in the spirit of worship
is prayer. We don't need temples to worship. Anybody's house any place
of gathering is a house of worship. Also the Bahai faith cannot accept
any donation from any non-Bahais. Thus though one day we will build
houses of worship all around the world: right now they are few. But
the purpose of the few is to serve as a beacon to humanity. Thus they
are made beautiful: the ancient Indian art of building beautiful temples
is being revived. So the Bahai temples (i.e. gathering places) dote
all around the world. Just a fact: the Bahai center at LA was right in
the middle of the riot-torn areas anddid not suffer any damage. Recently
it brought the KU-Klux-Clan and black activist groups to march together
for unity.

I find this amazing - the balance Indian women have been able to maintain in
their dress-style. Indian men seldom wear traditional clothes, especially
not to classes but Indian women have somehow managed to maintain their
traditional pride as depicted by their wearing saris and churidars even though
those outfits are not part of the local wardrobe.

Wit all these people so sstrongly protesting the digests
I get more worried as to why I havent recieved the prompt

want to subscribe to the new group soc.culture.indian.telugu [yn] ?

Its been a week since the group has been formed. right ?
Are others regularly reading that newsgroup ?  Am I alone in this
situation ?  replies like `ask you sysman' wont help.
