Open Question: Are Indians and Middle-Easterns the same race of people?

I’m attracted to several aspects of Indian spiritual philosophy like Kundalini Yoga, meditation, Vedas, Upnishads and Bhagvad Gita but your average dotheaded Indian that you encounter in the United States is far removed from the ideals of these beautiful books. Most Indians have a trader-pedlar mentality and will try to scam you out of every last dollar in your pocket. Indian engineers and IT workers in my experience are overrated and only good for repetitive coding. They can’t drive properly, have a bad body odor and are terribly disrespectful to women. At my office premise, I see these smelly rats leering and ogling at women all the time, or making snide remarks in their own languages.

Arabs, Pakistanis, Indians, Iranians, well it just seems to me that they’re all birds of same feather. I avoid dealing with them coz they’re really dishonorable people who don’t keep their promise, lie and deceive as it suits them, and have an unprofessional attitude. And yes, they all disrespect women with their misogynistic views but none of them are man enough to last in a free fight. It’s easy to threaten and intimidate them, treat them politely and they just try to take advantage of you everytime.

I had a lot of experiences and dealing with these middle-eastern types, I just don’t wanna deal with them anymore. Why do we let them into this country?

I admire other Asians like Japanese, Koreans, Thai, Taiwanese, Filipinos and Chinese. They have a strong work ethic, stay hygienic and can assimilate better into American society.

Open Question: Good internet news site?

I just completed a silent meditation retreat for three months,and during that time I had no access to the outer world. I have NO IDEA what has been going in my country (the United States) or the world. Surely there must be an unbiased internet site somewhere that lists the major events that have been going on. I don’t need a lot of detail. . . just the basic facts on major politcal and social changes, major disasters, and the like for the last three months. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Open Question: A Revolutionary New Argument for Anarchy and The Plea?

The government in the United States currently exists as the criminalization of its citizens. There may be programs to help those in need, however under its current status, function, role and responsibility of rule it simply criminalizes its citizens for misconduct by way of it’s current laws and regulations. This criminalization is negative in its attitude and offers nothing of the positive to offer its citizens. The positive would be to ensure, more or less, happiness for its citizens(The American Dream).

If government’s status, function, role and responsibility is to offer in addition happiness, as a polar opposite to criminalization, then the argument for anarchy stops here. But if government’s status, function, role and responsibility ends at criminalization then a reformed model of
Anarchy will be a better substitute for government. No ruler. Why allow ruler-ship to reign under a negative attitude?

A government to only offer criminalization only offers fear, hate and barbarism. A government that offers criminalization and the insurance of happiness to its citizens is truly balanced and fair. A reformed model of Anarchy will offer meditation and understanding to its structure.

As a people, how can we allow government to continue to instill us with a life of fear by criminalization? If government only stands to offer criminalization, then why must we continue to live in such circumstances? Is it not better to live in a communal Anarchist society that offers meditation and understanding than under a ruler-ship of fear, hate, barbarism and negativity?

To me, only a sane person would agree to my argument and ignorant, perhaps even troubled, individuals would discredit it. How can one refute such a sound argument?

If government agrees to ensure happiness to its citizens, then people are free to choose meditation. If a person doesn’t want meditation in this Anarchist society, then they are not welcome there.

Refutations

If you say, its up to the individual to create/make their own happiness and our current government offers the opportunity, then look around. The United States we live in today is not what it once was. The future is bleak. Not even Mexicans are immigrating as they once were. America is no longer the promised land. The one percentile hoard most of the money. The world knows it. So don’t continue to hold onto your ideas of what once was. The country and people are changing. I’m simply offering an alternative. Is this the land of “We the People, For the People” anymore?

Conclusion

I don’t want to see this country dissolve. But ultimately, the people will have to make the best choice for their best interests and not rely solely on the politicians for change. We must start that way, but if our plea goes unnoticed then we the people have no other choice but to take action into our own hands. Conclude what you will but this is in fact our American heritage.
