We are like that only men! FN RESPONSE: Whatever it is that you are smoking Fred, I want some of it too! On a more serious note, I am really troubled, by one, now bleating, that Catholics are hammering Hindus on this forum. Every time an argument is lost, or deemed to be in danger of collapsing, this individual resorts to the despicable level of bringing Hindus Vs Christians into the equation. I have Hindu tenants and we have mutual respect for each other. What is being propagated here on this forum is just not right. The conclusion drawn is that if one is against the RSS and/or the BJP then one is against Hindus. Floriano had advisedly stated, that the sooner one got off this, one track mindset, then the sooner, Goans could concentrate on what needs to be done. Alas the perpetrator is hell bent on fomenting communal tensions. Parrikar should stick to his Cannon hot shot, instead of venting his bitter bile here. I even offered to buy him a beer or two, not many get that from me ! As for the residents of Chicken County USA, hell will boil over before they become tolerant. Perhaps we should politely inform: Don't call us, we shall call you ! -- DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes. London, England
