Reddit has become oversensitive to any talk about China. Even neutral questions, genuinely seeking to understand the Chinese point of view are removed. As readers of my blog will know, I like to ask questions, and am willing to learn. Yet my best efforts to ask questions regarding Chinese censorship on Reddit have been blocked. … Read more
What could we have done differently to prevent Trump from capturing the white house? Unfortunately, liberals are responsible for this mess we see in front of us today. The situation could have been defused long before it reached this point. Hopefully, we will all come away from this election cycle, a little bit wiser. So that this doesn’t happen again.
Two people should never be forced to remain married to each other. If a guy badly wants to live with his parents after marriage, and the girl is 100% opposed to it, what’s wrong with granting a divorce? It’s the right thing to do. And the same thing should happen if the genders are reversed.
The terrorists hate our freedoms. So what do we do in response to a terrorist attack? We clamp down on our freedoms! Can there by any worse capitulation and humiliation than this? And we in India are doing exactly the same thing.
I find rubber bullets perfectly acceptable to use against dangerous mobs. If you get violent, you don’t get any sympathy from me. What I want is to see rubber bullets used for ALL violent riots in India, including political and communal ones.

Everyone these days is afraid of the scary Islamists. Well, here’s a big “fuck you” from my end. (Click to enlarge) I will not be intimidated.
When someone challenges your ideas, don’t just brush them off. Decades of dismissing the right wing, calling them imbeciles, idiots, racists, and bigots is what has led to this sudden outburst of “nationalism” in India as well as the Trump phenomena in the US. You have to engage, argue, and debate. Defend your opinions and attack theirs with logic. If you act condescending and superior, you’re only creating more problems down the line.
Fake nationalist assholes are the true “anti-nationals” because they do not believe in the ideals of India.
In the scene in Pulp Fiction where Marsellus gets raped, I would have felt a lot worse if it was a woman. When it comes to male rape, for me the physical pain and loss of control is a lot more important than the sexual aspect. When a woman is raped however, the feeling is totally different. There, the sexual aspect is the most important. Why do I have these double standards?
