Hmm.......well, I dunno abt rural areas in other states.....but I've been visiting the Andhranews forum lately & it turns out tat promiscuity (apart from prostitution) is all the more prevalent in the rural areas/districts of AP, as opposed to Urban cities like Hyd./Vizag.......:?

I very much agree w/ this statement! Altho many of us might feel tat Kushboo didn't mean nething harmful unlike wat ppl. were made to fathom, she shudn't hav made such 'bold' comments on wat is treated as a senstive issue in our society, unmindful of the consequences tat she wud face! Added to this the local media, which can be capable of twisting words w/ a catchy headline itself, made her sound like she'd expressed sumthing intentionally perverse & demeaning!
As the saying goes, Silence is foolish if we sound wise but wise if we sound foolish! :wink:
However, I'm really bemused at the fact tat a politician was one of the main ppl. who raised an uproar against her statement! Its an open secret tat most of the politicians r involved in various immoral/perverse acts themselves as their pastimes/businesses! :evil: Downright double-standards tat they shud pick on sumone just talking abt accepting pre-marital sex in our society!

Nope, we all should whole-heartedly accept that we have had pre-marital sex and make that statement or challenge TRUE! It does not matter even you yourself were a virgin before your marriage.

Let us admit what she says is 100% correct and be a non-hypocrite!

Why should we care or worry if an actress does not know the difference between her sex life and others' sex life???

Even if she thinks being a virgin during one's wedding is a shame- like westerners believes in-, it is okay.

Tomorrow she will also say, there is nothing wrong in having extramarital affairs as long as you protect yurself from infectious diseases.

The important thing is we all tamilians should get the name of practically impossible "non-hypocrite" degree!

That is all counts! Nothing else! 8)

I wonder how does she suggest to be safe from AIDS- infection?

Get a hiv-antibody test before having sex with the partner???

Let us ask Kushboo who seems to know everything very well!

If u dont oppose, it might make it look like we are all guilty -as if 100% of TN's today are involved in premarital sex- which is UNTRUE.

We just have to let her know in a civilized manner that her notion is not quite true.

Again, if at all Kushboo had really challenged as it has been said,

* How many men and women are not involved in premarital sex?

* Nowadays men do not care about the affairs their betterhalves had before their marriage.

I seriously think she is with a WRONG assumption and she needs to be corrected in a civilized manner for her "mistake"! 8)

BTW, how many percentage of TN people have aids????

it is not more than 10% right?

90% of the people are safer. It is quite a lot and the 90% will react for an accusation like this! 8)

The big hue and cry by “Viduthalai Siruthaikal” and “PMK” is more political than emotional. If you want to know the origin of currently blown up so called “character assignation of Tamils”, then please read the page2 of the following article.

r_kk:

* I fully agree it is fully political.

* I never support pmk or viduthalai siRuththaigaL

* If you wish please visit Kushboo controversy thread and see my earlier responses.

* But, there are several "thamizh kudi makkaL" who are being badly HURT by her statement or challenge and feel like insulted!

* If the modern world is going to make our tradition and culture to look ridiculous, then nothing wrong in white people's notion that we are all barbarians!

* Because today, if we admit that their way of "sex life" is the correct way, then we admit that we were living like barbarians in the past century!

* And our culture and civilization and customs were going to look ridiculous.

Are you ready to accept that tamilians are barbarians ????

* I seriously think we should not PUT a SEAL on a person who slept with only one person all his/her life as a #1 fool or a barbarian in the world?

* I have a bad feeling that that is what the modern world is trying to do by "using" excuses such as AIDS or HIV or whatsoever.

* Do you want such individuals look ridiculous in front of "Kushboo class" people????

I don't think it is FAIR

:clap: :clap: :clap:

1) AIDS is out of control in Africa, and everyone knows it. But by some estimates, the most AIDS-infected country is no longer in Africa.

It's in Asia, and the country is India

2) Approximately 25,000 dowry deaths per year.

3) Statistics from 2000 showed that on average a woman is raped every hour in India.

4) Sexual trends in India, according to statistics presented by Avishkaar, a counselling clinic in Mumbai, threw up some alarming facts:

~ The all India occurrence of STDs in the age group of 18 to 30 is as high as 48 to 52 per cent!

Of this, approximately 60 per cent hail from the lower strata of society where there is a lack of awareness about safe sex. The figure is approximately 20 per cent among the middle and upper classes.

THESE ARE TRUTHS ABOUT INDIA.

BUT NO THIS DOESNOT MAKE ANY OF THESE "GOOD" OR "RIGHT".

BUT IF YOU DONT ACCEPT THE TRUTH THEN THATS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE.

For a country so vast, with a population of an alarming size and a relatively young history...If only corruption in politics could be brought under check..Under the stewardship of enthusiastic leaders like Kalam the youth can easily take the country to the top of the world. But look at all the negative forces working on the environment of today's youth in rural & urban areas through the ubiquitous MEDIA! No role models imagined, fantasised but only a crass class of heroes & heroines churned out with all the foul fith of an alien culture! With enough motivation, encouragement & proper guidance both the rural & urban masses can be cajoled to do wonderfully well in the world arena. What we elect is what we get. Should we not be more careful?
