Lets take this one step further. Mervyn, A couple of days back, I was introduced, ironically by a RSS/ BJP pracharak, to Osho's discourse on F*ck, a word which is widely used in common parlance as a foul/ abusive word. Osho in his insightful, interesting and humourous discourse illustrated how this word can be moulded, interpreted and used in so many different forms; and a word which may sound vulgar in one context may not exactly sound vulgar in a different context. I think if we were to liberally interpret Rajan's post, Rajan has, and as Dr Jose Colaco may have rightly noted, cleverly placed his words to communicate something else, not meant to be taken literally! A creative depiction of the beauty of the English language! While we condemn others for being hardcore and radical, aren't we, by trying to literally interpret Rajan's post, now being the same? The video of Osho's discourse is quite fascinating and humorous, and may be relevant to understanding the context of Rajan's so-called vulgar post . It is available at the link below: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message484967/pg1 There is a transcript of the video at the link too, but the discourse is all fun and laughs. Check that out. Cheers Sandeep
