Nasci responds: It's not between 'continental' and 'Continental'(like you are trying to get away with); it's between Continent and continental (Portugal). Yes Cornel, it is you who got very challenged over the statement: re 'Continental Portugal' in a recent posting by a goanetter; remember? You mistook 'continental for Continent! Then went on and on re: that U had been several times to the wind swept Portugal on the edge of the Continent; and that's why U could not take it that Portugal is a Continent; thereby implicating yourself that you could not distinguish between continental (Portugal)and the Continent that Portugal is part of! You did put your 'foot in the mouth' here; and after lot of postings from goanetters, you finally understood! Then also, you had been deriding the original poster as some 'ignorant person' when in fact it was you, who was advertising your ignorance! Then when it was brought to your notice that the said poster was doing his post graduate etc in India; you did change your stance, but yet did not properly apologise! The above seemingly superiority complex/attitude from you is what made me bring you on as an example of: may be a graduate but not really 'educated'?? Then there is also another incident when I posted about 'no cultural freedom in India' re segregated eating places and no choice of Beef/Pork/meat/ food etc forced on others by the Hindu casteists. To that you snidely responded by asking me if 'I have eaten Croc meat' in Australia! How much more silly can one get?? I did respond to that eloquently; didn't I? In summary, there can be an undergraduate and yet 'educated'; or there can be a graduate both learned and 'educated'; or there can be a graduate and yet not 'educated'!! Which of these categories you belong to, is for you to ponder! I have no feelings against you per se, inspite of your snide remarks; but I had to expose you thus, to show you as an example 'in context'. Now that I have brought it out; there is no need to dwelve on this theme, any further! With regards! Nasci.
