"In the recent past, Western governments have been sending their armies to other countries and invading sovereign states in order to topple their governments; they have killed innocent civilians and then rationalized their murders in the name of democracy, human rights and freedom."

Why don't you openly condemn Mrika, Kanda, Birth-ania, and their allies for destroying our lands?

If Masadi looks for the US elite under his bed every time he wakes up, parthaab looks for a woman under his bed. Both are paranoid and sick and need immediate treatment.

"...especially children and women..."

I noticed your misandric bias, Mr. psycho!

But on a less angry note, let me tell you that men have no judicial or social sympathy at all, even if they are subjected to violence of any kind - especially the common mental variety at home.

However, this is so common, that there is a name to it - hen-pecked. This term has so fascinated males all over the world, that recently, there was even a Supreme Court observation, advising all men to live subjugated to the women in their family!


WAKE UP MALES! SPEAK UP!

Please refer to the SAAB gallery I have posted to understand the following:


For those of you who do not know the significance of "and as Kulharee would say, as he rides on a donkey headed for Landi Kotal, " Fresh lemonade 5 cents saab", know that Kulharee operates a juice factory in Pakistan, which as capitalism collapses is going to go under very very soon, and of course the brown sahib will be the first fired after blacks according to the color shade requirements of US corporate employment and when he loses his job, his whiter than snow wife will leave him and take his kids with her, then the law will clamp down on his sending him to Landi Kotal where he will ride a donkey all day long selling juice which he hand made from the excess concentrate that now rots in his closed factory.....how's that for creative writing and fortune telling...wait and see....

Re: # 1

Khyber sb. Difference between philosopher and illiterate is same as ordinary peasent and Einstein .Less than 1/4th of population run the show .and less than 25% of those who do not run are literate .And again literacy does not mean rationality which is irrespective of reading writing & speaking .Be realistic

Masadi yaar, relax. Take a deep breath. I doubt anybody wishes to have you banned. You have too much value -- if nothing else, then you are worth your weight in golden humor!

BTW, be careful or folks may cite you as reason number eight! :)

#1, who the F is Albert Einstein to be talking about matters that have absolutely ZERO to do with what he did his research in? Please explain this BS to me. People like that THUG, Albert Einstein, reveal themselves to be THUGS when they try to comment authoritatively on areas much beyond their area of expertise. The MORON doesn't know what social ties are, he doesn't know how morals develop,he has no clue about culture or the fact that sympathy is RELATIVE- relativity moron, and that the rich and privilaged have monopolized it and nobody even feels sympathy for the impoverished and as a result we have worthy and unworthy victims. WE NEED in the face of such elite manipualted relativity standars based on justice and in that the authority of religion is much greater than the authority of a physicist- there top that Einstein!

TNITC masadi

Tahmed rather than cheerleading for this Hindu bigot wannabe get some morals yourself maybe then you can begin to see the light....

A character in Dostoevsky’s novel says, it is only man who can kill just for sport. He was not talking about animals; he meant killing other humans. He was describing war atrocities where the victorious warriors would tear apart a pregnant woman and throw the baby in the air and catch it on the spear and like. How sad and pathetic.

It is true man kills on various pretexts, but he also manipulates pretexts with ulterior motives. It is simplistic to say that only religion is responsible for violence. There are other forces behind the scenes that use religion to incite violence to promote their self-interests. I believe forgetting that fact is like treating illness for symptoms only and ignoring the underlying causes.

Man's inability to stem the violence (as is evident from the fact that last hundred or so years have seen more killings than any other epoch) is intriguing in itself and defies the logic. What then all the so called progress and civilization has given us and what lessons this state of affair it is begging us to learn?

Interestingly, (or ironically) the ending of the article echoes the famous edited verse of Quran(5:32) "...whosoever kills a human being … it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saves a life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind,."

'SECULARISM: "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." --Albert Einstein''
I think religions (all of them)are more responsible for fanaticism and killing people.
