By the way, if you think I am posting too many India-related posts here, I'd be thankful to you if you could indicate to me if I am being inconsiderate.Not a problem here with India related posts. If they're appropriate, I don't think anyone does. And many would like to see them, I'm sure.
I think what bd476 was trying to tell you is that he knows a bit about Hinduism and some of the info you posted in replies here on your thread is from blog sources, and that they are opinion and factually incorrect. There is where the debate is to be had, perhaps.
However you have now deliberately lied in an attempt to what, attack me? Please stop.
That's what I've been trying to convince him of. The sources I gave were official sites of the authors of those editorials. I even took the trouble to search their archives for the original article, and have pasted links to the very same. But apparantly, he wouldn't accept.
And a little bit of fault lies in me too, perhaps, since I did post an earlier piece from a blog-like site. But the reason for posting it was because it had elements in it which could be used to verify the content. For example, verses with their numbers were present on the piece, and it wouldn't be too much trouble to use them to check for errors.
My ex-wife is British.She used to tell me that they spoke English and we speak American.
The old expression that the problem between Americans and the English is that they speak two different languages is true in a lot of ways.
When I married her, she had three kids. Two sons, 12 and 14, and a daughter, 17. They were raised in the U.S. from babies. The daughter remembered a little bit about England before they moved here. So, for the most part, they were raised here.
I still laugh when I think about what the two boys would do when they heard their Mom use the word "fag" when talking about cigarettes. They found that most hilarious, and would roll with laughter when she'd say "fag".
Is it hard to make miso soup at home? I'd love to.
I too thought "fag" meant "to smoke a cigarette" for a long time, until an American friend pointed out to me what it meant to them! 'Faggot' was a word unknown to me until then.
" Is it hard to make miso soup at home? I'd love to. "
Easy . Sure there must be a recipe on-line . If not let me know and I'll give you instructions !
"If you were referring to infanticide in India, did you forget the thousands of foetus flushings(a.k.a abortion) that happens in the US daily?"
On the contrary. That was what I was referring to.
Some say make dashi, some say use water. What do you do?
My wife and I use water . " Buta jiru " is also very nice assuming you eat a bit of meat and are not vegetarian . Get your butcher to slice some pork paper thin for you . Thinly slice some carrots and Japanese radish ( daikon ) if you can find one , and cut up some firm tofu in small cubes and cook all that together . Yummy !
The only place I could get beef was in New Delhi and I was in that turd world country 3 months.
Strange.
