Please don't bore me with a comment that really means nothing. Why don't you point out the nationalism and foolishness in my comments? I have neither defended nor justified India's actions. I don't think I've pushed

Unfortunately, resource war may likely force this to happen. It is not environmentally feasible to support such a large population with a high standard of living and being environmentally friendly. Frankly, the whole world is going to have

Don't think so, India is typically 4 stroke because of pollution norms and 4 strokes are more fuel efficient which we're very sensitive to. Frankly, India's problem can only be fixed by population control. If Sanjay Gandhi ha

What faith have I displayed? I haven't defended their actions. I stated I feel it's incompetence rather than malice. My issue is using a single testimonial to come to an overall conclusion, which I'm sure you agree is incorre

While I can't agree/disagree with you points due to the lack of evidence, I was curious to see who did best at Ivies. I felt it would be Indians/Americans of Indian origin. Probably biased because I fall into that category :P

Hardly, it's an unfair advantage. There's a reason it's a prescription drug.

From my experience Indians (and practically everyone else, except the Chinese who cheat everywhere) only really cheat once they get into college. The Chinese probably cheat because English qualifications are really difficult for them. But Y

Hardly a point, I've had GMaps do the same thing to me in India and the US and Apple found the place just fine. If we were comparing GMaps of 4-5 years then yes, it was far and away better, but now it seems to hae regressed and Apple m

Curious about this, what do they hate about Californians? I mean California is very diverse. The main cites (Bay and LA) are very liberal but the restof CA is pretty right leaning. So I imagine you get pretty much every kind of person from
