BSF kills Bangladeshi boy | Dhaka Tribune

This is not about Hitler. Whether he was good, bad or ugly should be decided on documented evidence. Both sides should be allowed to present their case, and which part is revisionism and which part is fact should be for the readers to decide. The intellectual fascism to which I refer is a...

There are a host of issues in society. Crimes against women and children are orders of magnitude more common than crimes against minorities. This is also true in India. Just because the global media has made it fashionable to bring Islam into every discussion doesn't mean we can stop using...

I don't deny that there's a problem with people using Islam as a cover to commit crimes. My point is that it's better to address the core issue of lax law enforcement. Let's say we fix the issue with mullahs. Will that solve the problem with pedophiles, misogynists, racists and other common...

Islam-bashing has become fashionable, so every Tom, Dick and Harry will pontificate on the evils of Islam. Everybody is talking about regulating mullahs and doing this or that. It's all empty talk since a state which can't even enforce parking regulations or collect delinquent electricity...

All's fair in love and war. I am sure the US is spying just as hard on the Chinese (and the Russians and the ...) to determine the real capability of their military assets.

The issue with abuse of religion is a separate subject. You listed the number of religion-related crimes in Pakistan. You did not list the crimes which were against women, children, poor people. The number of murders and kidnapping. The core issue is that the state has given up on its duty...

Blind people can't see holograms. You'd get sued!

Your points are valid, but that's a long term issue. I am talking about current technologies as they exist in the Web today. Implementing accessibility would put significant pressure on companies for additional resources..

It's amazing! 64 posts and only 2 or 3 address the real issue. The issue is not Islam or secularism, it is law enforcement, and the fact that some private individuals can commit murder with impunity without fear of the law.

There are screen readers which take a web page and read it aloud, but it takes special care from web site designers to make their site meaningful to screen readers. It takes even more care to handle user interactions properly. And it doesn't stop at screen readers. Some people are color bind...

UK also has laws requiring websites to provide accessibility.

A blind woman in Australia is suing an online shopping website because she finds the site unusable. Blind woman Gisele Mesnage sues Coles over online shopping website Apparently, there is precedent. A blind woman won a lawsuit in 2000 against the Sydney Olympic Committee's website. Many...

There's your answer. Most of these guys are only there to milk the system and squeeze out some tax-deductible expenses.

Jeb Bush will beat Hillary in 2016 (Alec Baldwin will finally move to Canada -- sadly not!)

I did find it ironic that Trump, who has built his wealth on highly leveraged real estate, is complaining about debt. It's an industry. People like to watch horror movies, and people like to hear doom and gloom predictions.

I am talking about something even more fundamental. The princely states were given two kernels (India and Pakistan) around which they could coalesce. The Brits could have created a dozen small countries called Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Punjab, etc. -- instead of India/Pakistan -- so the princely...

You always have to take these credentials with a grain of salt. At any given time, there are dozens of experts predicting ruin. They do it over and over again until it happens, and we remember the one time they got it right, while forgetting all those other times they were wrong.

Bunch of freaking criminals. RIP.

The Brits could have divided British India into independent countries called Bengal, Bihar, Assam, UP, Punjab, Madras, etc. This is what they did in the rest of their empire. The princely states would have had no single entity to which they could attach. See above. If the princely states...
