Dear Dr. Falcao, I do not believe that 'people in Goa just whine'. In the post you referred to, I clearly stated my belief that Aires was whining.
I accept your grouse with me (and surely, Santoshbab) because of we both pointed out your unfortunate reliance on blogs (as opposed to direct sites) wrt the Aspartame matter. What I do not accept is that (based on the preponderance of evidence) Goans make a living by working in Panjim restaurants OR that any cooked food was wasted...more than usual. If you have any evidence (even blog evidence) please feel free to provide it. Some others might use the 'alcohol' analogy to make a case for whore-houses. I have no comments one way or another on these two 'institutions' which may or may not provide employment for the Goans you might happen to know. I wish I was sitting on an island (remote or otherwise) at this time. Unfortunately, I have just finished listening to another really boring lecture. re #4 infra: It is when one deals with psychiatric cases, that one is likely to go nuts. Are you not a psychiatrist by way of 'training'? re: your #s 5-9 infra, I can only suggest to you that One should read carefully before one comments....unless of course that 'English is indeed a difficult language' With the best of wishes from here. Do not take these e-debates to heart. It is 'cheaper' like that. jc ------ Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão wrote: [1] It is very easy for people to comment when they have no work to do, and think that people in Goa just whine. [2] Does <jc> have the brains to understand how many Goans earn their living on day to day basis on their turn over in Restaurants and Bars? [3] Does he know how many restaurants of Goans have less clientele due to the bar being closed? And the normal food prepared going waste? [4] It is very easy to sit in some remote island with morons and become one themselves. [5] In Goa people need to be perpetually alert. Having elections in a village does not mean that the city should be subjected to restriction; that too the Capital. This is pure anti-productive and irrational. [6] I do not think any Goan will agree with your post. [7] Secondly to state: quote “On the matter of cost of having elections, here is an idea: Don't have them, ever!” unquote; is totally lack of rationality. [8] Does Adv. Aires Rodrigues have the authority to reject elections? So why not write to the President of India instead of replying to Aires’ post? [9] It only goes to show that some netters here want to while off their time by intimidating others who want to be informative.
