That is your position. Actually women were not treated well. I believe there was some line like doli jayegi and arthi ayegi or something. Women separating wasn't viewed well, even now. And what I said was was both the practices abolished and being suppressed. Although it is closer to truth to...

It was a test. They can't go in a terrain hugging mode without doing a few high(er) altitude tests.

There are situations where there is no perfect solution. When the choice is subjective.

Child marriage, divorce (women don't have to keep living with someone they can't live with!), castism to name a few. Women empowerment on a broad scale.

Sorry, I dragged it from some other discussion. What she is saying is that her point of view or the majority is right. How is it same as saying everyone is right from his point of view? This is a relative argument, harm is done from 'your POV'.

What if majority is wrong? You know that many practices have been abolished in recent history, many are still seen as evil and being suppressed. All of them were mainstream, practiced by majority. Just because majority likes something doesn't makes it right.

I get the second option too, and it works. Make sure your image has image file extension. Try with the link OP posted: http://i.imgur.com/nrdbw.jpg Try with this.

I thought society has evolved beyond it! Anyway, I am not calling the current Indian society damaged. I am just saying that people who think that the direction in which they think society should change is right, are wrong. There is no right or wrong direction for society to change. If someone...

May be. That is why we are having this debate, whose point of view is better! Though I have just reasoned against others, and not given my own point of view...

This is again a particular view of the society, that is damaged. You imagine the society should be a particular way, it should have certain norms. Whether they are your own views or a collective one. They encroach on your idea of social norms. From their point of view, society is getting better...

They are harming your view of society. They aren't actually hurting anyone. A thief on the other hand is obviously causing damage to someone else.

@Akheilos This is what I was talking about.

The difference between one act harming others and one with mutual consent. This answers your post above too, one you are oppressing people in their personal lives. Other, you are making rule how they would interact with each other. As long as your friend is stealing from his own shop, things of...

I prefer if law/society don't dictate people in their personal life. What two consenting adults are doing is none of my business. That is a very murky area. Everything has its pluses and minuses. At times I like the open western society, at times the close knit Indian. This is very hard to say...

I agree that they are not designed to be. But some people are emotionally/mentally homosexual. It is in their brains, they can't help it. It is as natural as it gets. So you are against changing the culture because it would invite further change?

They don't don't bear the title of TTA or can give ratings, which you have to admit, puts you a bit above the regular posters! You diss at Indians at any chance you get than preach them to not do the same?

Than your reasons are wrong. You are arguing about places not the act itself. Homosexuality is wrong because parks have become lover's parks?

There is no problem you rejecting anything. Can you reason your stand in a debate? They are wrong because you think they are wrong. Can you clarify to people who are advocating those practices why you think they are wrong, rationally?

He is a hypocrite. Just 3 hours before dragging India into this unrelated thread, he lectured an Indian member for dragging Pakistan in an unrelated thread.

There are no absolute right or wrong, but culturally defined ones. There are parts of the world where what you stated above is going on, is accepted. We have have rejected these practices so they are wrong. Simple.
