Santosh baba, Kiteak petoita murre dotor-saab? You do not object to my claim that you are throwing moral and religion codes out of the window. You object to my claim of the effects of doing so. You are taking the comment with "Thanks for calling me pro-science and logical" too seriously. We will not question if it was too gratuitous. But before you get carried away, and your Texan hat gets too small for you, let's put your science ani logic to the test. :=)) You are good at zapping people's posts without specifics or science. You make statements and expect others to do the research to prove you wrong. Perhaps YOU can research the RATES for the following parameters for modern society, and compare them to US and Indian society three generations ago (100 years ago).
1. Divorce rates. 2. Single family homes. 3. Unwed and teenage mothers. 4. Children brought up in single family homes. 5. Teenage sex, pregnancies, STDs and school dropout rates. 6. Drug abuse in adults and children. 7. Abortions on demand. 8. Psychologic problems in children including ADS (Attention Deficit Syndrome). 9. Psychological and medical problems in adults including stress and depression rates. 10. Suicide rates among senior citizens. 11. Violence against children. 12. Spousal abuse. 13. Elder abuse. 14. Gun violence. 15. Prisoner / Incarceration rates per 100,000 population. Look forward to the re-submission. Then we can decide about "the hackneyed notion" ani "hollow cliches" ani tea bhair more! Or if this post is "Pro-science" and "logical" - really? Aum / Ami rautam tujea borea respostak. Aum tujo Goenkar bhau, GL PS: Your academic post about atheism comes close to the line of putting down religion. However you give "academic cover" to some loud-mouth agnostics whose agnostic mantra is blatant anti-Catholic. And it is obvious I am not the only one with that view. ----------------- Santosh Helekar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I submit that the hackneyed notion that today's society is spinning out of control from a moral standpoint is not grounded in fact. Basic human rights, civil rights, rights of women and children, rights of the under-represented, and even rights of other animals, are much more valued and respected today than at any time in the entire history of our civilization. Contrary to the hollow cliches propagated here and elsewhere, our morality has indeed advanced with our technological and socio-economic advancement. --- Gilbert Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: So society (youth and adults) in many respects is spinning out of control, in spite of our increased academic and social-economic advancements. Partly because of these advancements, we think we are smart to "pick and choose" what is good / convenient for us - for NOW! This is the argument between Mario and Santosh, and what "The rock solid moral code" signifies for current and future Goan society. _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
