Nope, just calling you stupid. I was stupid and idealistic too when I was younger. I still can be at times. Never as stupid as you, but still.
What about "dumb shit"? That's the kind of term whose usage can get you booted from a debate. I used to think older people are well-mannered. You are a disgrace to your generation.
And pointing that out helps your statements how?
By making you see that slangs and abuses won't help prove your point, although that seems to have gone over your head. Thus, I was right in answering abuses with abuses.
You, the answer is always you. Now show me India's spotless record of policing and equality.
It has no relevance to the topic, and thus I am disinclined to grant your request.
Are you defending corruption?
No, I'm pointing out that you have brought up the issue of corruption to try and divert the topic, but it won't work.
If you really read my words as me defending police incompetence, brutality,
Then you had no business mentioning that scene from Slumdog Millionaire to downplay what happened with Mr. Patel.
You brought that up with the sole purpose of derailing the argument. It has no other relevance to this discussion.
"And don't tell me about American racism. Indians have it easy in this country. We are much more racist against so many other types." <----- Your exact words.
you really are stupid. Stop being stupid.
Stats don't lie. But you are a liar. Stop being a liar. Set a good example for your kids, old man.
Or assuming you know the reasons for a police incident because you read something online?
Its called a news report. The reasons were clearly mentioned in the report. Oh goodness, I don't have to call you stupid in every paragraph to assure you that's what you are, along with being a liar, a coward, an extremely rude, highly ignorant and obnoxious individual, of course.
Keep preaching Captain Nobility.
Keep denying, Captain Ignoramus.
I just want you to know that I don't blame your stupidity on India's educational system. Most Indians I know are bright and have a strong introspection of life and how things work. You are a moron despite all these things.
Likewise, I don't blame your nature on "American Culture"; a few defective pieces are born here and there, and you just happen to be one of them.
Do you mean like a public library?
No, I mean literally giving away books. See if you can find a movie related to that, which would appeal to dysfunctional brains like yours.
Do you really think this is prevelant in America?
Racism and police brutality are quite prevalent in America. People don't protest on the streets for nothing. In the past year alone, there were quite a few cases that made headlines worldwide. News of immigrants becoming victims of racism are not uncommon either.
Are the 20% of the people sitting on my train right now of Indian decent all going to get reported and beaten by the end of the day? Stop being a moron.
Terrible example. About time you start acting like your age.
You mean the response that I described as reasonable.
Don't flatter yourself. You talked as if Obama's moral lecture to India and the Indian embassy's reaction on one of its citizens being paralyzed are the same thing. I pointed out that it's not.
There are plenty of documented cases US Embassy reacting to incidents with their citizens. I would think someone as educated as you would not have to imagine anything.
Oh, looks like you think of me too
My points must be more effective than you are claiming them to be.
Why would India need to do that? They have you spreading your stupidity.
Or maybe the Govt. of India is aware of its own country's shortcomings, unlike Obama.
You are so predictable.
Tough shit, your country has problems. My country has problems. But go on insulting American police because you are clearly an expert on the topic and have a full grasp of this particular situation.
I'm no expert, I just read the news regularly and stay updated with what is happening around the glove. Not a very hard thing to do. You should try that sometime.
And I'm not
insulting the American police; I'm
criticizing them. Understand the difference. An uncivilized fool like you would have called the police "dumb shit" or one of those things (those are insults), but not me.
So now you use a derogatory term for gays to insult me.
No, no, no... I personally designed that term for you as a memoir of the day when you tried to throw your weight around a 20-year old, but things didn't exactly go according to plan
By the way, do you use that term for gays? You really should be ashamed. Your children would hesitate to refer you as their father, if they find out about this.
Keep denying, old man.
I am against police brutality. But I also understand that not every unfortunate incident involving police a person getting hurt is simply brutality. I also understand that not every unfortunate incident between two members of different ethnicities or race is racism.
What a change in attitude! The slangs seem to have worked. I'll keep that in mind the next time I see grandpa GSB quoting one of my posts.
Bullshit, the purpose of your post was your own selfish self importance.
Nope, that was your aim. Your selfishness and arrogance is clearly reflected by your statement that Indians have it easy in USA and you are much more racist against against so many other types.
No, I just sometimes treat idiots like idiots.
That's an ill-timed claim, judging by the standard of comments you've been making for the last two days.
Preach to me more about American racism and American police and next maybe I'll make silly comments about the parts I remember about the treatment of homosexuals in India from reading Son of the Circus.
Anything to divert the topic.
Why do so many of your countrymen come here and stay here? Even with our evil police? Why do they build families and join communities? If your view of American police is accurate how could any minority stay here?
I'm guessing agencies like NASA believing Indians are well-equipped for enriching and enhancing their organization has a lot to do with that.
Non-cocky answer: Those that face these problems, which is a large proportion of them, they accept and ignore the bad treatment either because the salary is significantly higher, or because they have nowhere else to go. Doesn't mean everything is alright or changes aren't needed.
Especially when we also have a preachy president.
In the words of Harold J. Laski, "a government can always learn more from the criticisms of its opponents than from the eulogy of its supporters." Obama doesn't need your help. Not because you have done a piss-poor job at defending him (or the cops, or the racial tensions), but because criticism helps correct mistakes, promote progress and making a difference.
Or maybe real problems end up getting trivialized because Chicken Littles like you jump to conclusions and come off like self aggrandizing a-holes so the rest of start to tune out.
Or maybe real problems get suppressed because d-bags like you try to downplay its importance at every step and assure the rest that the matter is not serious.
The cop has been arrested and will be fired. This is probably the right thing to happen after an unfortunate incident... but it looks like the right things are taking place.
That's a start. Practices like making the suspect lie down on his front, on the dirty ground, then riding on his back with the knee on his neck, take-downs and choke-holds, extra aggression towards coloured suspects, then you have the "routine procedure" of strip search and cavity search for charges with no relevance to them- all have to be lessened. Then we can say right things are taking place.
You came here an angry dick set out to feel right and you just ended up looking like a fool, again. Grow up.

Doesn't make your shitty comments justified
Of the two of us, which one made an outrageous comment but failed to back it up? You. For the last two days, you have used every weapon in your arsenal, from sarcasm to movie references, from diversion attempts to blatant denials, from insults towards me to insults towards my countrymen... Yet you sealed your fate in your very first comment, and did very little to repair the damage in the subsequent posts. TBH, If your aim was to only troll me, it was successful to an extent, because I wasted around 3 hours of my time behind arguing with you. But I also learnt that you old guys are not invincible in debates, and this knowledge should serve me well.
As I depart, I have three tips that might be of help to you in the future:
1. Don't underestimate someone because of their age or ethnicity.
2. Don't say "You are stupid" 10 times per post and then make stupid comments yourself.
3. Don't play devil's advocate if you can't debate.
Later, Grandpa.
You are not a reasonable person from any angle, count yourself out of that demographic. You are the type of scumbag that proudly makes declarations like "We are much more racist against so many other types."
How boring life is now compared to that! But yes, it did make the news here in India. Here are three Indian news channel websites that I found reporting the story when I searched the headline on Google (in the third site, they have given photos of the victims too):
