Sick. This man was killed among many others and even giving you the benefit of dark humour is unacceptable. You are as voyeuristic as the media you accuse.<br /><br />I do not owe an explanation, yet I said I was not around. I mentioned my constant critique of the media. It is there should anyone be interested. I do not need to be influenced by activists of any stripe when I have my own opinions that are incidentally used as research material. <br /><br />Asking someone to read what I have written in order to not project a fallacious understanding is different from asking people to go and read up scriptures and other work to suit your agenda.<br /><br />I do not strive to convert people to my way of thinking beneath the guise of altering the status quo. It IS my truth vs another truth. To pretend otherwise would be rubbish.<br /><br />And not calling a person a mass murderer does not mean he/they are not responsible for inciting violence and fracturing society.<br /><br />The fact that a dying man's burning limbs become an exclamatory cause for a swipe is evidence of it. <br /><br />Sick.FVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-20814080190758833852011-10-15T23:47:31.814+05:302011-10-15T23:47:31.814+05:30FV,

And regardless, why is it that you want to skip the supposedly weak points of mine? I am pretty ok with my weak points being pummeled in public (just metaphorically! The literal would hurt far more than whack of a Kolhapuri).<br /><br />--------<br /><br />QUOTE: "during the Gujarat riots there was no major live coverage.."<br /><br />You may want to correct yourself.

See, I have to be honest. I am not sitting in Baramullah, either, and it was an ouch ESP moment when you mentioned Grey Goose...just bit into a GG liqueur chocolate piece! Ab tau hyprocrisy ke naarey lag hi jaayenge...<br /><br />F&F:<br /><br />It is always voyeuristic. However, during the Gujarat riots there was no major live coverage, and I was not in the country so I do not know. But I have mentioned the media way too often for it to have escaped you. <br /><br />Re. Taslima, now since we have established your weak point, shall we skip it? Owaisi isn't mine, just to set the record straight.FVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-80691461557360727022011-10-14T19:27:37.183+05:302011-10-14T19:27:37.183+05:30FV,

Was <br /><br />that voyeuristic? Did you ever call for their arrest?<br /><br />Just presenting a counter-point, not necessarily my opinion.<br />-----<br /><br />TV crews did nothing except zoom-in zoom-out when Taslima Nasreen was attacked by followers of the great <br /><br />sekulaar soul Asaduddin Owaisi.

The issue of Kashmir had nothing to do with it. First, India has accquired a new disease of "Pseudo Intellactualls" who have never travelled , fly between airports in india, Read Time and Fortune , thinking I live in India in Vasant Vihar or Napean Sea Road, I know whats good for all Indians ...<br />My advice to Ms Roy will be that she should live in Baramullah for a month , attend the local school and live life to know what it being Kashmiri and not discuss this with her friends over Grey Goose and decide.<br />As far as Bhushan is concerned, Lawyers are India are like the pimps of the legal system. They make the legal system twist per their client's requirement. <br />This 25 year lad did what Raj Thackeray does every day , just because Raj Thackeray does it to Autowallahas from Azamgarh ..It is called Politics and what Tejinder Pal Singh Bagga does is called "murder of democracy"..I wonder ...Jazbaat JunkieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
