No need to fly off the handle. I was wondering if any man could have sex/rape a woman when someone is holding a gun to his head?

Rupa,

I’ll check out “The bluest eye” when I get a chance.

That’s what I was talking about. It’s like saying 9/11 happened, but Bin Laden was in cahoots with CIA once upon a time…true but not relevant to the crime in question.

I didn’t question the relevance of bengalization, but just said that’s no justification for what Tripura militants have been doing. You did provide context, but it wasn’t complete. Is bengalization the only problem?

when it comes to say american foreign policy people tend to take a step back and are able to analyze issues without imputing emotive or normative motives

Btw, when did I do that? Who is imputing motives? My rant was based on what you posted, you are accusing me of saying things I never did! Who’s being the dumbass here?

as for american contextualization, one must know the enemy to defeat them. so though i don’t talk about foreign policy much, the mantras of both the Left and the Right (“poverty creates terror,” “they hate us because of our freedoms”) leave me cold because they are usually propogandistic slogans with little value added substance.

a little context is generally in order, though that might get in the way of your mantra shouting.

Nice

don’t be a dumbass. i hate mind-reading psychics, especially when aren’t very good. if i may make an observation about some readers at SM: when it comes to say american foreign policy people tend to take a step back and are able to analyze issues without imputing emotive or normative motives on every assertion. when it comes to brownland issues of course, every comment has hidden meaning which the respondent is automatically privy too.

anyway, i sound like an apologist for terrorism to you, because like i said, you’re being a dumbass.
