For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Non-cruelty: Vegetarianism is sometimes justified on the basis on non-cruelty, although I personally question applying it in this context. A textual analysis of the Mahabhartha reveal that non-cruelty (anrsamsya) occurs as the highest dharma more often than “ahimsa”. A quote from wonderful “Rethinking the Mahabharata” by Prof. Hiltebeitel (who is a great guy by the way) :

Of the fifty-four instance I have found in the Mahabharata, the taly for different excellences said to be the “highest dharma” is anrsamsya, 8: truth, 5; ahimsa, 4; what is in the Veda, 2; offspring, 2…

One thing to note about Leno’s jokes is that he changes the facts as reported in the article: Rather than saying that Indian men in this study didn’t measure up to international standards, Leno says that the Indian men were reported smaller compared to American men. He specifically said “American”.

A lot of this, as mentioned above, has to do with how white men view themselves — small in endowment vs. black men. So a chance to take a shot at say, Asians or Indians (I’ve seen Dave Attel, Comedy Central comic, take penis-joke shots on East Asians) makes them feel better about themselves.

haha, you crack me up, “its about the media.” There will always be shit like this. Crying and writing letters about how indians are portrayed, and taking this whole proper, legal, approach..its commendable. All i’m saying is that a study showing the exact opposite wouldn’t be news to anyone…same reason why Fox News is the most watched News Channel. While this study may be flawed, would a valid study that portrays indian badly be okay?

“Indian Minority Group Earns the Most Per Family of any Sub Group in the United States…. They also give the least amount of money to charities of any Sub Group….less than the mexicans who mow their lawns”

-i’m not actually 100% sure if this is correct, but i recall seeing a similar type stat on Census2000

I choose to see reality. If i was really offended, i would rather cook up a study which shows that 95% of penile implants are for white anglo saxon and make some hilarious conclusions. Much like past Stephen Glass article’s in The New Republic.

Regarding media, what is it like 96% of all the media you see all day, minus sepiamutiny, is controlled by 7 news companies around the world..i think thats from like 1998 or something, but still.

This is not only malnutrition at work, but also lack of physical space, coaching, equipment, and lack of adequate playtime.

Point being is this, this study may be correct in india, not for desi’s abroad. I personally could give a fuck less, cause i’ve never had any complaints.

It’s not about YOU or any particular person…it’s about how the media is ridiculing Indians (which is bad enough) on the basis of a severely flawed study (which is even worse).

This study hasn’t been disproven to you at all? no hands on experience, hehe. I for one think its only cause the majority of desi dudes in south asia are tiny, like literally skinny and short. I bet if they did this study on 1rst gens in the states or any first world country, it would be proven wrong.

My experience has been i would say the exact opposite. Like most normal, athletic, none-pussy kids, my friends and i used to compare shit and stuff as juvenile deliquents. Turns out i was the biggest out of our entire group, to the point where girls in hs would ask to see it! Must say not a bad rumor to have about you.

Point being is this, this study may be correct in india, not for desi’s abroad. I personally could give a fuck less, cause i’ve never had any complaints.
