What a total lack of social consciousness? Will nobody think about the slur cast on aspiring, educated, promising young men & women of a part of the world proudly going about its life righteously & purposefully?
What right has anyone to shatter the prospective peace & calm of the marital lives of lakhs of young people? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I got to agree with PP on this Badri. Freedom of Speech doesn't end there. It comes with Responsibility.
It doesn't and cannot mean that one can say anything one likes, especially of other people. If Kushboo was talking about herself, what you have said will hold true. She cannot make generalised statements such as this and hide under the shadow of freedom-of-speech.
If you apply the "cast the first stone" theory on all issues, then we might as well tear down all pillars of civilisation, such as the judiciary and executioners like the police.
Thanx a lot, Nov :)
What NOV says about the first stone is right! And neither did I mean it in that sense as to tear down establishment becos the establishment is not perfect.
But as regards the big hue and cry about something that for all we know is pretty much the state of affairs in today's world, that is ridiculous. As I said, she was foolish to have said it in a forum that made it so public, but what I ridiculed was the entire set of people jumping on to make a big mountain of it! That, to me was sadly plain sensationalism and hypocrisy and all pretenses to be culture or moral police will not sell!
As I said, I neither support her view nor condemn it. It is her view, she has every right to say it! If she wants to be insensible and state it where it can draw ire, that is also upto her. It is making a big fuss over it, despite her tendering an apology and stuff is what is idiotic.
What slur has been cast? All she said was people should be more open to these things. Does she say every married women today is a slut? I do not think so. Much as I am not in favor of her opinions, I would still insist that making such a fuss about this matter is unrealistic and unwarranted. If anything, it gave people who have under duress/temptation given into the act prior to marriage some hope too!Quote:

Sensationalism is correct. But sensationalism by itself is not wrong; how to whip up support if not for it? :)Quote:

So whether good or bad her comments have statistical backing.
But come on let us all punish her 'for she has cried out the forbidden truth'.
Thanx, once again, Nov. :)
When the dust settles down, we should say with resignation, "let barking dogs bark". People bent going the way of the temptations of the flesh are not going to listen to reason or sense. Let them go damn themselves. It is a pity, however, like a speeding car splashing mud on the innocent pedestrians. We cant expect thick-skinned, depraved people to appreciate the delicate nuances of decent, meaningful, worthwhile life.
Agree with you on this except the 'speeding car splashing mud' part.Quote:

Since we dont like mud we should just keep away.
