One needs to realize that Medical Science does not come under the purview of UN or EU or US sanctions on Iran. The sanctions imposed on Iran are on nuclear technology, dual use (read military) technology, oil and finance. Medical Science and technology, OTOH, is free for all (meaning to...

I really dont know what #2 is.

B-52? The rear landing gear and the bomb bay. GAU-8 Gatling gun of A-10 Warthog.

Wrong. Family can never ever be friends. One either tolerates family members no matter how obnoxious some may be or gets along, sometimes famously, well. :jester:

I dont find anything wrong in worshipping Cows. There was a very good reason why Cows were worshipped. And why is YOUR path the 'right path'? Who said so?

Dude, the Holy Books you speak of are or were made up or written only in the middle east. At that time, there were thriving civilizations in the Americas, Africa, Australia and not to mention the Indian subcontinent. The people living there had absolutely NO IDEA that a God had appeared to any...

Not really. Why should I believe in something I have not seen or personally experienced or felt (which I believe is true for the majority of the population, for the rest, there's a perfectly physiological explanation for their 'out of world, Godly experience), or which I have been told to...

Great Story, Bro. But two things, First, You say that polytheism started with Noah, right? But according to Vedas, the "Santana Dharma" is older than the story of Noah. Actually, Vedas are much much older than the Dead Sea scrolls on which the Old and New testaments and the Quran are based...

Although I am surprised at the visa granting, this isnt the the "Good taliban vs bad Taliban" debate. GoI is being pragmatic here, considering what's at stake post US/NATO withdrawal in Afghanistan, keeping in mind its interests in the region. Me thinks, and I hope this be true, this has more...

Screw the "Prime Directive". I say start interbreeding immediately (if they are anything like the Twi'leks or that blond Cylon from BG, Kara Zor-el aka Supergirl, that green alien girl from Star Trek, the Na'vi females, the Vulcan T'pol, taht check from Fifth Element or even from Species)...

Isnt it the Russian policy that for foreign sales of aircraft, the RuAF first takes delivery and then the aircraft are transferred to the foreign nations via RuAF? I meant about the MiG29Ks onboard the Vikramaditya.

Having used both Apple iphone and Android (Atrix and now Samsung S iv Active), I do agree that iphone's camera is way out of android's league. My Mrs has the iphone 5 and the pics it takes are stunning (use the Blux app). However, for someone who is more than "comfortable" with technology, I...

Its not the belief in God that instigates people to commit horrendous acts of violence against fellow human beings. Its the rigidity and teachings of religions (note the difference between these two) which for some reason raises and fosters intolerance against other religious teachings, which...

I am not generous with doling out respect. It needs to be earned IMHO and starting conversations with name calling definitely doesnt help. That is exactly what I said, although in far fewer words, except that everyone else in Afghanistan was fighting the leftists/commies. Where you ultimately...

The Mujaheedin DID NOT defeat the Red Army. It was rather a lack of vision and a political failure on part of the Soviet Union politburo bosses than a military failure on the ground. The ISAF is now doing what the Soviets did not.

That part you are right. Taliban did arise out of the cauldron that were the various Afghan Mujaheedin factions fighting the civil war AFTER the SU (and subsequently USA/CIA) left Afghanistan in 1989. US/CIA had no more interest in Afghanistan after SU was given their version of "Vietnam". Your...

Seriously? Resorting to name calling now, eh? Stay classy dude!

You are confusing the Afghan Mujaheedin with the Taliban. Different entities, different times. Try again.

Wrong. Try again.

I could give you a million zillion gazillion thanks, only if I could!! ;) so here goes 10^∞
