------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mario : BTW you have not responded to my point in particular below but went on to something else (As usual). Message: 9 Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:39:34 -0800 (PST) From: Mario Goveia <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [Goanet] Re.Goa RIP Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:03:22 +0400 From: Arwin Mesquita <[email protected]> I suggest you stop your selective reading & selective copy/paste of my actual post so as to distort my views; re-look at my actual post below. In the perspective of migration; maybe you should convince the USA authorities to accept migrants into the USA the same rate as it is into Goa; perhaps they will explain to you the negatives on un-controlled migration!! Mario responds: Arwin, I don't know what it will take to break down the rigid defenses you have set up around you to keep certain facts from entering your consciousness, especially the difference between a country, like India or the USA, and a state, like Goa. The number of legal and illegal goreign migrants into the USA runs into the millions every year, far greater than any migration of non-Goan Indians that is taking place into Goa. Besides, within the US people can move from one state to another at any time, for any reason, even if they are Ghantis. Oh, yes. We have Ghantis, too:-)) If you understood what a state was, you would know that Goa is a state within India. -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.
