International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Gilbert: Before being a member of Goanet I was under the impression that formal education encourages people to be more liberal But the archives, exchanges on goanet and thru mails received in private I am convinced that inspite of being educated many posters here: 1. deliberately confuse other peoples gender (possibly to make up for lack of any other argument or merely for cheap humor) 2. indulge in gratutious name calling and verbal intimidation (ironically in support of tolerance) 3.Grossly misrepresent facts and statements of other people whose views they dont agree with (includes doctors,journalists, sundry financial gurus,etc) 4. Condone pedophilia, and religious persecution of indigenous population (because it seems our ancestors were uncivilised pagans worshipping snakes and stones and also because that practice is the root cause why India is backward) 5.Spread outright falsehoods and absurd theories related but not limited to tourism in Goa, origins of fundamentalism I hope more people can elaborate on thse points Regards Bhandare ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
