If rules aren't meant to be bent can you explain why the Home Office is trying it's best to stop the extradition of economic fugitives like Vijay Mallya and Lalit Modi? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016&#

Again, you are considering that all 1.3 billion or 1.0 billion or 0.8 billion people will fall ill. How can you not see that it's an unrealistic scenario? Coverage is only provided for those who fall ill. Only critical illnesses requir

Can you explain what is wrong with the math here? Are you expecting 1.3 billion people to fall ill every year? This is coverage we are talking about. I can't understand how some people don't know what coverage means.

No they won't. You aren't discounting those who already hold health insurance because it's a deduction for their tax returns. So for such people it's an investment. You are also not discounting those who are covered by t

Why is this so hard to understand? Why would 1.3 billion people want $7,200 in coverage at once? If that happens then it's a mega catastrophe of proportions that the entire World would not be prepared to bear. That would also mean the

You are in college for one reason and one reason alone: education. College shouldn't be used as a platform for politicking. If you wish to do politics or activism do it outside the campus. Just like how you would if you were in school

Surprisingly this sort of coverup is a common occurrence with any story/history that originates from Ancient India. And it's not just the Western authors who did this. Indian archeologists are to also partly take some blame. The b

Yes it's possible to think of it that way and it makes sense now! However, they should explicitly mention it in their license terms that the updates are provided on trial basis and valid for a year and those updates can be purchased as

It doesn't for the simple reason that they provide updates for the entire year. Surely those updates aren't provided for free. They are provided for purchase you made in advance for a year. If I cancel midway I should be entitled

Here is my take on it: Rebellion is a big part of teenage life (especially if the child is from a broken home). There is an urge to break rules, to question authority and to disobey the law. But the urge to rebel varies from one individual
