India, a country with around 900,000,000 people, is for the most part ignorant to where babies come from. Can you imagine, most of them have no idea when they are having a jolly old time with one another that it results in offspring. Man, I thought everyone knew that. Some things just shock me when I hear them for the first time.
 
Most Indians are also below the poverty line, are illiterate, and make less money in a year than you probably do in a week. And yet all their government is concernec about is being ahead of Pakistan in the arms race.
 
well i'm 100% indian so fuck you all!! :)


i visit india almost every year and yes there is a huge amount of poverty, but some people there are pretty damn wealty too...like all my relatives. Hell, the prime minister went to my cousins wedding! The distribution of wealth is very very wide.

I guess in most cases it is far better to be a poor american than a typical third world country resident.
that is not true at all. In fact most people in third world countries are happier than people in richer countries because they aren't caught up with material possesions etc.

And let's all remember, there are alot of countries worse off than India i.e bangladesh, as well as the poorer parts of china and russia.

What is good about india is that there aren't as many extremist groups and that the indian people aren't as hateful and spiteful as people from countries like pakistan that can be get pretty violent.
 
What the fuck? They don't know where babies come from? You've got to be kidding.. that's ridiculous. As much as I'd like to believe it to have a good laugh/cry about it, I don't. Surely you are joking.

i think u mean very very uneven. as far as i know, in india and other less economically developped countries, wealth is distributed amongst the few very rich ppl and the many very poor ppl and the gap is continually widening.

Source. please.

Ok, the problem I have is that this would imply that even after hundreds of generations, or however many you consider depending on your beliefs, they never figured out that banging=babies. I find that VERY hard to believe.

What makes you think you are reality personified? What about you personifies it?

The fact that I don't cling to delusions (it's an anti-religious/anti-superstitious thing, hehe).

Damn, they went on a missionary trip? As in "let's brainwash other people with our bullshit and completely disregard the fact that these people have already been brainwashed with their own native bullshit?". Ewww. I would think there are more important things in the world to be concerned about than which metaphysical fiction people auto-convince themselves us. Boy humans sure are dumb.

seems as though you've done a good job of convincing yourself that such things may not exist.

It's strange that someone would tell you something like this and you'd accept it as fact and go post it on a message board, thinking that you were informing the masses. Common sense should dictate that perhaps a few of them don't know where babies come from, but certainly not most. Believing everything you're told so easily is dangerous.
 
I am not perfect, and I screw things up all the time. However, some of you definately come across as intellectual elitists who assume you are always right. There is a ton of stuff we can't know, and some of you go around saying stuff beyond our realm of knowledge as if it were obvious truth.
