I do understand what you are talking about and your comment shows the right way to put across the counter points rather than calling someone “immature” and stuff. And (gosh! am tired of explaining this!) what I had written here is what came up in a moment of anger after hearing about the attacks and see, only when the elite got hit that the government is “talking tough” on terrorism now (and I don’t know how longer it’s gonna be).

LOL, you both are taking it to some other level ! Please stop it, come back to the topic

@Jo, as you already know somebody kill the politician – will not make any differences. How many politicians (including Rajiv Gandhi) were killed by terrorists and what will the other leaders do ? strengthen their security measures, that is lowering the security of common man !

On a different note, Congress whose leader was killed by LTTE guys are supported (they really need support !!) by politicians in Tamilnadu who support LTTE all the time !!! What an irony.

And no, Indian sitting in the USA or in the UK share the same feeling, yes, they might be in a more secure (?) place but they can understand the situation and they have the right to comment on too. Yes, there may be exceptions, like once they go to US they become ‘Indian Sayippu’ and forget everything Indian. But from my experience, majority are not like that, they are equally worried on the situation as we are here.

On the first few comments, InjiPennu was trying to warn you, because your statements can be misused (InjiPennu gave an excellent example link as well) but after that you both got into the big fight ! Sad

Now do not get angry or do not ban me lol. Just trying to wave the ‘white flag’ in between you two.

Peace

Now, let me make one point clear to you – My blog is my space. I write here what I feel or think. I can’t write according to what YOU or any other person think and I do not believe in pleasing anyone with what I write. You don’t like what I think or feel or write? You can point out politely. But you want to vent out your anger and throw bricks or call me names? That’s not allowed here.

I didn’t say Joe was ‘immature’ if that’s what irked you. I said what you wrote was an immature thot. I think you are reading my words wrong (maybe my English?). Please try to understand the difference in lingo.

If blog is your space, comment is a reader’s space, Joe.

Yes Joe, from the whole post when I read that sentence, it definitely shook me. Hence I pointed it out. I am sorry; I didn’t know I couldn’t do that here without praising or pointing out other sentences. Since we have lost so many politicians to terrorism that sentence didn’t make any sense to me, especially at this crucial juncture. It was obnoxious to say the least and I was being kind!

Joe, I live in India currently. Satisfied? Yeah, now my opinion has a whole different outlook? A guy next door where I stay in INDIA thinks British should rule us again and that’s his wonderful solution for the mayhem. Yeah, that guy’s opinion is much more valid than an Indian guy who lives in U.S or South Africa, who writes poignantly about strengthening our democracy. Wot an idea Sirjee!

A very interesting article..Might not agree with all of it with heart..but agrees with head..you might want to read it

I stumbled upon an excellent post by Balwinder along these lines. A must read:
http://balvindersingh.blogspot.com/2008/11/dont-bounce-back-to-normalcy-please.html

And as I was reading this, I saw Achuthanandan and Kodiyeri hearing ‘Kadannu poda pattikale’ (‘Heck with you stinking dogs’) from Major Sandeep’s father… That is the right treatment that stinking politicians deserve. Times Now showed the video…

You saw only one sentence out of everything else I have said in this post. Have you looked at the other points? Did you have any thing to suggest or add to that? Instead you choose to cling on to that one particular sentence. I do not regret writing that part, because like I have been explaining in my other comments, I don’t think the Government would take any action unless somebody of the political class gets hurt. That is what the situation out here teaches me. So as a citizen who is a possible victim of the future terror attack, I had to vent out my frustration an I do not regret it. It is a harsh statement, I know, but I believe that kind of response is needed at this time.

Oh, and finally, you are worried about getting personal. Calling me “immature” is not personal enough? That too when I write my personal thoughts in my personal blog? You do not let me have the freedom of opinion in my personal blog and you accuse me of “TajThackerisation”? You are being insultingly funny.
