Re: [Goanet] Bleddy Goans and an East Indian bugger
On the word 'EXPOSE', I am reminded of this joke which synchronizes my take on the topic of George's write-up, thanks George, thanks Camilo. Lawyers should never ask grandmas a question if they aren't prepared for the answer! In a trial, a small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, an elderly grandmother to the stand.He approached her and asked; Mrs. Jones, do you know me? She responded, Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you're a big disappointment to me.. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.. The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney (the opponent's lawyer)? She again replied, Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster. He's lazy, bigoted, and has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. ..Yes I know him. The defense attorney almost died. The judge asked both lawyers to approach the bench and in a quiet voice said: If either of you rascals asks her if she knows me, I'll send you to jail for contempt of court !!!

[Goanet] Bleddy Goans and an East Indian bugger
George Menezes write : Whoever Godfrey Pereira is, we Goans need to either give him an award, or pin a medal on his Bleddy East Indian chest. Godfrey Pereira, a journalist who once worked with Sunday magazine Kolkotta and India Today wrote a ?no holds barred? piece on the Goanet chastising the laid-back Goans and literally tearing them to pieces in the same fashion as the mine owners are tearing up the rich Goan soil mindless of the destruction that is caused all around. Whether castigating Goans or praising East Indians, Godfrey has not done his home work as well as he should have Comments : Camilo Fernandes I enjoyed reading George's article which is very thought provoking and to the point. Godfrey Pereira had written his article on bloddy Goans many months ago and I remember it has created a lot of controversy both for and against his views. His language may have been a bit harsh but one must take it with a bit of humour. After all some truth does hurt. It made Goans get up from their slumber whether out of rage or reality. He may have castigated Goans while taking up for East Indians (not a surprise he being one). However we have to bear in mind that whether we are Goans, East Indians, HIndus, Mangaloreans etc. and whatever religion we follow we all have to come together to fight the forces which are destroying our common good. Whether fighting in Gorai/Uttan or in Goa we should all unitedly put up resistance and expose the wrong doings. He mentioned : The reality today is that Goans have, however slowly, turned into human rights activists. There are individuals like Sebastian Rodrigues, Venita Coelho, Padma Shri Norma Alvares. Hartman de Souza, Durgadas Gaonkar and many more. There are Organizations like the renowned Doctor Oscar Rebello?s Goa Bachao Abiyan, Floriano Lobo?s Goa Su-Raj Party, Bailancho Sad, or the very recent Community activism through ?Video Volunteers? at village level. Yes we should stand by leaders who with great risks are coming forward and unitedly give our support so that politicians and vested interests know that we all are united and they cant go against the wishes of the people. It does not matter how little we can contribute to the good cause, we should come forward to expose and do our bit. Best wishes. Dev borem korum.
