You risk getting into Abhi’s hair. Assuming he has any.

WHaaa! have you seen’ Jindal’s hair??

sorry.

Ok fair enough. I thought the implication in your comment about why people disliked Jindal was that you were familiar with that thread.

Oh ? Perhaps you can tell me what this sampling of comments from the Jindal thread mean:

How the hell can you expect Louisiana residents to reform Louisiana (particularly the woefully inept education system) if their new governor thinks it is ok that they are taught creationism in school?

Don’t even answer that. All this is serving to do is further confuse this issue and take away from the original post. This post is not about Jindal. It is about criminal torture by the U.S. govt.

And all of this inhibits his ability to reform Louisiana – how? While he may personally hold the positions you say, he has not been pushing these positions awfully hard, nor is there any polling data that shows these were what Louisiana voters had in mind when voting for him.

Pose the same questions to Ms. Singh – suppose she were anti-abortion (a position not unheard of among immigrant Indian women), would that make her criticism of Bush’s policies on torture less damning?

So blinded by your fury that you targeted the wrong person. I made the comment about (1) and (2).

A minimal understanding of human society will show that position (2) is valid. Position(2) may not be true in your frame of reference but that does not mean that it is wrong. Your ignorance of human society outside of USA is scary.

Only an idiot judges other people by the actions of their family.

That would make a large % of the human population idiots.

BS Vikram. The people who dislike Jindal dislike him explicitly for his policies. He is anti-evolution, anti-abortion, and pro-ten commandments in government buildings. All of those things have a DIRECT effect on his constituents (and the nation through his former participation in Congress). It has nothing to do with his family like you posit. There are plenty of Christians in America who don’t believe it is ok to teach bunk creationism in class. That is why your red herring of an argument has myself and others seeing red. They don’t make any sense.
