In other cases, I merely ignore it.<br />---<br />I will pinch myself only to confirm to myself if I am talking sense or not. You can be assured that regardless of your views on Sharia, blasphemy and Hizb, I will not pass judgement on your mental or physical health. 'Sick' is a word that is best left for doctors to use!<br />---<br />All banter is agreeble to me - as long as as the sporting attitude is reciprocated!<br /><br />Have a great Diwali!Free and Footloosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911514463551198170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-74784713135281381852011-10-22T09:17:20.838+05:302011-10-22T09:17:20.838+05:30here is something to agree/disagree about:
http:/...here is something to agree/disagree about:<br /><br />http://outlookindia.com/article.aspx?278673<br /><br />>>>I am convinced that nothing is more urgent for the purpose of ideally promoting India’s prosperity (falāh) and welfare (bahbūdī) and for giving due strength (istahkām) and stability (pāedārī) to the aims of the British government—a government I am proud to serve—than an enhancement of good mutual relations between Indians and Europeans. To achieve that goal, in my opinion, Indians should be encouraged to travel to Europe, so that they may directly observe the progress and achievements of Civilization (shāyastagī) in European countries, and gain an understanding of the prosperity (daulat), power (tāqat), and intelligence (dānā’ī) of the English people.[1] They may also learn, for India’s benefit, the many excellent and useful things that have come about there because the inhabitants of England are so capable (musta’id) in commerce, and because the country’s wealth and learning are increasingly being used to enhance the functioning of its factories, fields, hospitals and charity homes, and the cleanliness of its cities.<br /><br />how did we get from here to "Death to Amerika!!"hiteshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923315303742715131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-78480419503522777892011-10-21T19:11:59.630+05:302011-10-21T19:11:59.630+05:30Mahesh:

The comment was about the others' silence and meant to be "agreeable banter"...losing deposit etc. Seems like your constituency is more alive. Not to worry. You can tell your people that I have not sought lifelong guarantee for agreement. <br /><br />As regards the person being more than a viewpoint, please pinch yourself next time the urge to comment on my jihad/hijab/kebab etc overtakes you.

She likes only agreeble banter.<br /><br />The gentlemen you spoke of are as reverable or as despicable as other men - or prophets! If common standards and a common code of interaction exist between two sides, I see no reason why a good joke will invite throat-slitting!Free and Footloosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911514463551198170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-81072250704990985242011-10-21T11:29:36.001+05:302011-10-21T11:29:36.001+05:30FV,

Mr. Advani's rants about MMS and Janp...Farzana,<br />Mr. Advani's rants about MMS and Janpath Rd. have been oft repeated - repeated enough - to the point of boredom death. Nothing new here. <br />A more pertinent question would be about RathYatra itself. Between 1991 and 2011 - what has Advaniji been doing ? Same Rathyatra ? The polity and social environment has moved on leaving its communal past behind. Maybe Advaniji may not have realized this - these days even the past replays of Mahabharat , laced with Astras and Raths et al, occassionally aired by television channels look lot more boring. <br />But then, for all we know, the ReshimBaug area from Nagpur might not really have moved on.<br />Cheers,<br />Mahesh.<br />p.s. for Free and Footloose : What if FV had made those comments "finger in the air" about "Bal Gangadhar Tilak" or "Vinayak Damodar Savarkar" ? Would you be equally cheering ? Just curious.Maheshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-71758185457073665362011-10-20T19:41:30.660+05:302011-10-20T19:41:30.660+05:30Ms. Nasreen, come back. All is forgiven!
