Sirji,
Southern Sates are putting inmates to death regularly, and Texas more so. Hence that comment. Even Ted Bundy made the mistake killing in a Southern State (Florida).

Sirji,
To agree to disagree (but not violently) is one of the pillars of democracy. But the OM has turned that on its head. Voltaire is probably spinning in his grave ("I may not agree ....").
The British after 1857 systematically 'disarmed' the Indian population. They went from house to house and consifcated all weapons. Similarly they banned all Indian martial artsHriday wrote: ↑12 Sep 2025 23:18 About the widespread gun violence in the USA.

Bringing in "Democrats" is simply another deflection from what is relevant here.
How is that ad-hominem when you yourself expressed (as part of this argument) your admiration for Charlie Kirk's supposed debating skills?
No wonder you are such a fan of the Charlie Kirk/Prager University school of "debating".
OK. Now resorting to ad hominem that you are losing the argument.
This was part of your defence of Kirk from the get-go. I merely pointed out that using strawman arguments and posting claims without evidence-- as you did in the previous post-- was typical of Charlie Kirk's style of debating as well.
You can abuse Democrats as much as you want, as far as I am concerned. I abuse them too when they deserve it.His views are no more anti-India/Indian than Baptist Harris, Pramila Jayapal, Ilhan Omar, Obama (how soon we forget his National Prayer address soon after returning from India where he was the chief guest for Aug 15th), Biden who sent a carrier group patrolling in the Arabian ocean right after he became POTUS, Leon Panetta saying adversaries like China and India (when he was in India addressing Indian policymakers) so on so forth.
You don't have to wear anything on your sleeve. In American society, your Indian origin already speaks for itself in many ways. A target is already being painted on you and your family by the likes of Charlie Kirk/Laura Loomer/Ann Coulter/Peter Navarro/Stephen Miller.I also don't feel any need to wear my emotional connect with India on my sleeve. I will leave it to those who are feeling guilty that they are not giving anything back to their motherland. I do my part. I don't feel guilty for acting in self-interest of my family and my children who are second generation Indian-Americans.
I have no disagreement on the murder. Murder is murder and the perpetrator, once proven guilty, should face all the consequences of the law.I am going to disagree with you on this C. Kirk murder
One thing more indicative of losing an argument than an ad-hominem attack, is an ad-hominem attack with zero evidence. Your claim regarding my views on the Devyani Khobragade episode is false. The more false claims you make-- whether you make them intentionally or mistakenly-- the more your credibility suffers in all matters on which you express opinions.Re Khobragade, I searched your posts . No posts from that time exist. Probably they are never archived or were lost. As far I remember,your first reaction was (paraphrasing here ofc) to blame DK for her corruption in India. I even remember @ramana gaaru requesting you to stand up for DK and India.
Fair enough.move on. Peace.

Amongst all cultures existing today only Sanatan Dharma has tools for control fo anger, avoid excessive hate , modify behaviours etc , self introspection and many others. Despite genocidal tendecies of book cultures we as sanatanis dont narbor such hate or other tendencies towards these abrahamics. Will avoid here as not the right thread.Humans had a problem of controlling anger. And when we give them such a powerful weapon as a gun, the result will be disastrous
Once that is done, they will slit the throats of the left. CCP has a handle on these buggers but then they are not really left anymore. The left CG has shifted to Europe and the Atlantists in massa, and Canada.chetak wrote: ↑12 Sep 2025 22:03 Vayutuvan ji,

Rahm Emanuel and Josh Shapiro on the Dem side and Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikky Haley on the GOPers side come to mind.
As @raj kumar ji said, it was done after First war for Independence of 1857. Till then EIC was ruling India. Only in 1857, we came under the Crown, i.e. British govt rule. They abolished private ownership of firearms so as to prevent a repeat of 1776 in India. They came pretty close to losing in 1857 itself.
I interpreted the post on X differently. I interpreted it as against new legal immigration of unskilled workers coming in due to family reunion and take up jobs in Gas stations, motels, 7-11s, DQs to the detriment of poor white/black folks and high school students trying to earn a little bit money on the side to help out their parents. I take "America is full" as it is full now but not before. Which makes sense if you look at the history and what is going in the job market right now. I am 100% sure that US will be OK even if they (we?) do not get a large number of H1Bs to do sysadmin jobs (which can be done remotely quite easily) and/or online support service centers.
I will take your word for it. I take back my accusation and I apologize for misremembering and then go onto slander you without evidence.Rudradev wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 00:53 One thing more indicative of losing an argument than an ad-hominem attack, is an ad-hominem attack with zero evidence.

That too with Kash Patel looking straight ahead in the background. Ridiculous fellows these Church of the LDS guys. It is embarrassing to say the least. But are we sure this is not a deep fake?

VIDEO: https://x.com/GozukaraFurkan/status/1966548890674467200 ---> "I wish we could blame this on Muslims or migrants, but turns out it was one of us." what a wild thing to say.
Yeah. Gov never mentioned "muslim". He did say that he was hoping that it is somebody from outside the country or from outside Utah. Slightly better but still quite embarrassing. Question is whether this guy Taylor Robinson is a Wignat. Then case closed. These buggers are no better than radical Islamists.MuslimMatters

That’s inaccurate tweet. Especially putting it in quotes makes it sound he said it. He didn’t. It’s a stretch that he even implied Muslim (not one of us could be a non American or a non Utah resident).

Quoting wiki as a source is questionable, but what wiki does best than most other pages is it actually attributes/links where that info came from so you can go down the rabbit hole and verify the source yourself. That's very important in this day and age where SM amplifies "he said-she said" arguments to the hilt.uddu wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 19:46 Wiki is fully loony left, especially anything related to ideological space is fully occupied by them.

Yes, they are.
Very much, when you have to dig out the details from the opposite camp. If you want details of Republicans go to MSNBC and CNN, they will dig out and give you details of every nitty gritty of their enemy. There is nothing non partisan as such.
Those links are New York times and Al Guardian. When the Lefty loonies want a narrative, they will sensor the articles of interest and quote and enforce their their own channels and ideology. Wiki can be used on anything technical in nature. Even if Climate Change is looked into it will be censored in similar fashion.Jay wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 20:01Quoting wiki as a source is questionable, but what wiki does best than most other pages is it actually attributes/links where that info came from so you can go down the rabbit hole and verify the source yourself.

That makes Megyn Kelly an especially poor source for info about Dems, and it makes MSNBC a very poor source for details about Republicans. They both have agendas and will put out convenient spins and false information to smear the other side.
Only if you consider 'gossip' to be the same as 'information'.
