The value of life? (split thread)

You don't protest the outcome. that is the process...either change the process or learn to live with it or get out.

You sound so lobotomised.

What decade are you from? If you are gonna hurl a personal insult atleast use something that is not in OED.

I was being concerned, now wipe the dribble from your chin and get back in line.

Matty, just curious...from your point of view are Indians lives less important than american lives? Please do explain the logic if you say no.

Yes, when compared to American lives they are less important. 3 people die in a ferry accident, is not much of news in India. But 3 people getting hurt in the US on the highway makes national news. Terrorists killing muslims in gujrat, or terrorists killing hindus in kashmir seems to matter little to a billion people. 3000 people killed by terrorists in the US, got ithe entire country mobilized.

Matty not to get more personal...but I have no choice. Do you honestly believe an american life is more important than any of your relatives back in india? I only bring this up to discuss the "human" side of this argument. Life to me is pricelss....all life be it american, Indian, Pakistani or Arab. You cannot tell me that people in Iraq or Afghanistan do not feel the same pain or emotions when their loved ones are killed by a "stray" bomb. How do you propose we will have those people understand the concepts of democracy, freedom and pursuit of happiness. When they have seen nothing but destruction all their lives and then come the "liberators" and do the same thing....they will lose all faith in humanity and will be easy targets for terrorist recruits.

The question you posed was whether life in general in India as valauble as that in America. I gave you an answer. The life of my relatives in India is still not as valuable as the lives of my family and friends in America. I live here not there....while their life is more valuable than that of someone in Pakistan or a pakistanis life more valuable than someone in Burkhina Faso. (sorry fraudz, will give you the royalty later).

Honest enough?

Is the life of your thrid cousin worth the same as as your child or wife? to you!!!!

Well I suppose if you put it that way a hindu life is pretty worthless unless they convert to Islam ofcourse, that's why all life is to be cherished we don't know who will be Muslim tommorow...funny that isnt't it?
