[Goanet] Old Goan Men with Internet facility

2017-02-21 Thread Bernado Colaco 
I think the post by the young lady shows great disrespect to our seniors. It 
would be interesting if she could contribute anything in terms of Goa culture, 
food, travel, economy, migration etc to this forum.

 Now, now Louise, I take exception to your characterization of old Goan men 
with internet facility.? I am old (78 years), have and have had Internet 
facility probably from its inception, AND I live in Goa.? I enjoy the postings 
of Roalnd Francis, Marshall MendozaDr. Jose Colaco, Con Menezes?and others who 
perhaps are not as geriatiic as I am.? I may not agree with all the postings, 
and take many of them with a big grain of "mith", but I find them enlightening 
and informative.? Wny are you so bitter about the postings on Goanet ?? If you 
don't like them, you have the option of delete or bail out of this forum.? I 
have been around almost from the inception of GoaNet and have seen various 
"characters" come and go, some out of their own choice, and some having been 
showed the door.? The moderators do a fairly good job to ensure that the 
"crazies"do not take over this forum.Goanet has served the Goan diaspora well 
for over two decades, and hopefully for many more years o come.

 HaHaHa, you sure know how to hurt a guy, but it should be obvious that the 
young ones and certainly the pretty ones do not linger on this forumof 
course there is no way of knowing who it is that posts under assumed names.
Please carry on.

Certainly there are some goanetters who need a life away from their computer 
and goanet.
There are likely many other goanetters that have an interesting life but refuse 
to share it on goanet.
Allow me to share a link I received about a program in Bay Area, San Francisco, 
California.  The link sent to me for my interest was the Robot Camp for high 
school children.  My granddaughter (Elizabeth) participated in this camp and my 
son-in-law (Mark Fernandes) was one of the voluntary guides.  Enjoy the 
magazine that has articles about life in South Bay Area.

It is a sad reality that goan men don't mellow. If they have access to a gadget 
which is connected to the internet, they will use it to harangue one another 
and anyone who attempts to put a toe in. Come on uncles. Retire gracefully. I 
know its difficult. I also know its better that you take your irrascibility out 
on the goanet than your wives if you managed to keep them, but find another 
hobby. Roland Francis, you are not the only Indian/Goan in Toronto. I have 
family who migrated legally (Jim Fernandes). They did not use any tricks and 
worked honestly and now have their own businesses. I personally dislike Modi 
and would prefer to live in a country that does not have dictators 
(Modi/Trump). I am Indian because my husband loves India/Goa. We (my daughter 
and I) do too, but we would prefer better governance. Old Goan men with 
internet accessable gadgets should access other more interesting sites. And 
please Con Menezes, I could post links ad nauseum but I have a life. Get one. 
Yourkids/grandkids have no time for you? Sad, but we need to get on with life.
