You obviously have no clue on the culture or the way of life in Iran.
You still haven't given me one solid reason why I couldn't compare the population growth of Iran and the problems they faced to the population growth of India and they problems they will face.

Because one is Muslim and the other is Hindu?
Ok...
i dont want to waste time comparing India and Iran for the trillionth time. you need to follow news other CNN or Fox if you want to stay up to date. i've heard numerous times on the radio, on many internet sites that Iran is one of the worst offenderes of human rights.

they kill students who are protesting on the spot in some cases, and yes they do jail you if you touch someone of the opposite sex in public, or worse, the same sex in a loving way. didnt you hear of the news of the Canadian journalist who was tortured to death in Iran? heck she was Iranian

some other random story of Iranian abuses

this is the journalist who was tortured to death in Iran, a woman no less

I wasn't even allowed to compare Iran's population growth to India. You turned it into a "Don't ever compare that POS country like Iran to a great country like India". I was only comparing the population growth and you got PISSED OFF.

What the hell does your FALSE information on Iran's laws have to do with me comparing the population growth?????????????? I'm not comparing cultures here, but you want to.

Lol they jail you if you touch someone of the opposite sex? You make up news from your ass and post it on here?

You like to bring up Canadian journalist who was tortured in Iran by the police? Again wtf does this have to do with comparing the two countries? I can very well bring up India's corrupt police force that helps kidnap people.

You are the one turning this into an Iran-India war. I mention Iran's booming population and you go "Dont ever bring up mullah country and compare it to westernized India".

Also your valid reason for not pointing out the two was because "axis of evil". You cannot compare the population growth of the youth because of axis of evil? OKKKKK.

huhh???????

😕

no you have no stated facts, thats the point. its all opinion

No the only opinion I said was that India was dirty, and that was today. Before that you've gone off and off because I brought up India's education/poor/ etc.

Face it you have Indian pride and no way in hell would India ever compare to any Muslim nation ever in your eyes.

and I wonder why India and Pakistan are always at it... hmmm.

India has an extremely large Muslim population. Their president is Muslim, Prime Minister is a Sikh, and the head of the leading party is an Italian immigrant Catholic...

Aimster I beg of you to not turn this into a Iran vs India crap again. Jee man give it a rest

I'm resting it. I never brought up Iran's culture you know. I brought up their population and you went off. I just thought you should know that.

I'm done.

Just reporting that countries that we perceive as "third world poor" countries are stepping up bigtime. We are just slacking in everyway.

India is most definitely a third world country. They are by no means even close to what the West is. Their way of living is just dirty.

They have DSL, but maybe they should invest on some soap or maybe a better water system. Maybe they should buy food for their people.

Most idiotic post ever. stop hijacking the thread, and go away

Hijacking a thread? You post Indian threads left and right.
I'm showing you that India is not so great as you think it is. Like I said nobody cares about DSL in India. You will do anything to show off India in P&N.

If my post contains errors please show me how my information is incorrect. You said they are stepping up and I clearly said hahaha.

Tell me what other threads about India have I posted. If I have then they must be of some relevence.

You are a little prick who loves to hijack threads with your own little agenda and divert everyones attention.

Maybe if you read the article, you would get a better idea. Like I said, stfu and go away

You sure you want me to post all the Indian threads you started to make Mother India look GREAT?

How did I hijack your thread? Because I said the truth about India? I'm sorry India is dirty and everyone knows this.

India is dirty? ok so the whole country is a piece of dirt, garbage etc etc. happy now? prick

Why you getting mad? Isn't that the truth? LoL. You getting mad because of the truth. Don't blame me. LoL.

you're so ignorant you probably think indians eat chilled monkey brains! idiot :roll:

If India wants to modernize, it should address it's caste-based social structure before diving into discounted broadband plans. Computer literate Untouchables (if there is such a thing) are still Untouchables to most Indians.

india does not support teh caste system and actually has an affirmative action system in place. it's people who are overly religious that support the caste system. untouchables ARE coming up in india, but they are not yet at the level they should be

Why post this?

We all know the U.S. Greedy Corp Execs are only interested in the almighty dollar and the size of their personal Yachts at the expense of progress and Technology. <shrugs>

They are the ones doing all the progress and advancement of technology so your stupid statement makes no sense.

Caste based discrimination is indeed illegal according to the Indian constitution, does this count for anything? About 160 million dalit don't think so. I'll agree that the religious conservatives are mostly to blame for this (seems they suck in that hemisphere too), problem is they represent a potent faction in their government. It's karma and all that.
The Indian government could be doing a hell of a lot more over this, my point was I consider the issue infinetly more important than bargin DSL prices. What relief the Untouchables have received thus far has been brought about by themselves, organizations like the Vanavasi Kalyana Kendra and Vivekananda Kendra, and more than a few foreign organizations - NOT the government. Sadly, I don't think they'll ever be at the level they should be.

Ah, but they are doing it for the benefit of Countries like India.

Why is the U.S. at the bottom of the Technology Pole now as far as reaping the rewards of progress???

I'm done here. Good luck with your pride.

i think you have a severe inferiority complex to start posting irrelevant information in any thread about India. India is one of the world's economic powerhouses. A few weeks ago, you were arguing with me about how it is the third largest economy in the world, while I suggested it was the 12th. And in this thread, you're just insisting it is a third world country. How can it be a third world country if it the THIRD LARGEST economy in the world according to you? Because it is dirty?

Good point. Every country has some *dirty* areas, even America does. Sure India is a bit more messier and chaotic, but I dont really know what he meant.
A bit?!...
as much as i disagree with Aimster that india is the sh!thole of the world...i am equaly in disagreement with you two that india is a serious technology and R&amp;D powerhouse.

Sure they may be the third largest economy. But the vast majority are poor and make the world's crap.
Rank
We are talking about a country that ranks 156th in terms of gdp per capita.

The average indian has a gdp share 65% BELOW the global average.
As a country sure they are a huge power...but lets just understand realistically who we are talking about.

agreed. but when you take into account how bad India was only a few years ago, its a major achievement. Also, your right on the technology aspect, as majority of the people there are not affected by it, only the few educated ones are. But as more and more people start to get an education, things will improve, as they are at the moment
It's not that hard to improve when you have statistics like those. Any country with tons of cheap labour is benifiting from the US's outsourcing currently. If india wasnt improving i'd be utterly dumbfounded.

I think that improving infrastructure is key...not just the cheap types like phone/dsl lines but water, power, transporation etc.

India has an insanely long road ahead to even be considered a 2nd world country let alone be a competitive force.

Also you state how much they have improved...can you show me some of this crazy improvement you speak of...not just new internet lines 🙂

Well, millions of people are being pulled out of poverty each year. India already had the worlds largest middle class. A few years ago the literacy rate was about 52% or so its now about 62% if not a bit higher.

Also, this tsunami disaster has proved that India has the muscle to handle these kinds of things. India's navy is helping countries affected by this, as it deals with its own deaths. Also it has been sending aid to these nations and refusing aid from any country.

The thing is that as a whole, its a powerful country, but hundreds of people still go hungry, thats the sad part.

"Well, millions of people are being pulled out of poverty each year. India already had the worlds largest middle class. "

While millions sink into poverty in the U.S. and the Middle Class dissapears.

All at the design of the greedy rich.
 
Aimster, you little dumbfvck. Raildogg never said those things about Iran or you, you sh!thead. I was the one that called Iran an inferior nation to India (and India an inferior nation to the US, btw). You have this huge chip about calling everybody a muslim-hater. Didn't you also post a thread about the FBI tapping your phones and following you to your mosque? :roll: You lack something called credibility. Even after repeatedly asserting and providing references to my past posts that I was far from being a muslim-hater, you insisted on calling me racist and bigoted. If I am not mistaken, even Raildogg called me a bigot for claiming that India was a superior nation to Pakistan (even though I stated my opinion clearly in yet another thread that there were sure to be tons of Pakistanis who, on an individual basis, would be much better people than many Indians). I mocked Iran for being a part of the Axis of Evil and you are so fvcking dim-witted that you go after Raildogg thinking he said it. You have this nasty little habit of thread-crapping in every Indian thread that you see. If your IQ was even in the double digits, it might be worthwhile telling you to watch your shit. But you are such a moron that you won't understand it - even if I put it in words of one syllable. In effect, you are a stupid little fvcktard and you just got served.

Red Dawn, let me get this straight: you don't have anything (leave alone anything worthwhile) to say about India, except "Birdie Num Num" (this is atleast the 4th time you are using that worn-out phrase here). I can take a joke about India - no, really, I can! But you are far from being funny. I can just sense this pent-up angst welling up inside you, urging you to make some smart, witty, strikingly sarcastic remark about India, but you fail miserably every time 🙁 Perhaps you miss your old pal - I forget his handle, but he started a thread about you once, asking if an Elite member could be de-elited 😀 I'm sure someone like him would spur you to greater witticisms 😛

Oh, btw, I would be very skeptical about DSL in India. But then, I wasn't very hopeful about the IT revolution either, so I have been proven wrong in the past 🙂
 
Um. Not that I know personally about the case on the ground, but this really sounds like a case of misguided priorities. I mean, how many of these villagers own a computer? You think maybe they should do something about the stated lack of schools before trying to roll out fiber to the region? *shakes his head*
 
I'd rather go vacation in India and stay in cheap (for Americans) 5 star hotels while visiting the tourist sites. Even having your own private chaffeur for weeks at a time!

Who are you kidding! Like there's any margin to making money in starting schools :roll: Pffft...look at you, suggesting something that might actually work! What about all the porn-starved villagers, then, I ask you! What about them, huh?! :frown:
