SMS is evil, say Indians......
« on: November 12, 2002, 04:06:04 AM »
Indian cultural conservatives targeted wireless providers yesterday, claiming short message service technology was a major cause of divorce in the country. India's National Human Rights Council staged protest in the capital, New Delhi, according to news agency AFP, where they burned a cellular telephone. The group's leader, Subhash Gupta claimed that the SMS sub culture ran counter to Indian norms of etiquette, sparked marital discord and were diverting Indian youth towards other Western trends, such as dating.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Just a reminder for some of our resident "culture clashers", don't be so overzealous, Hindus are known to hate Muslims, so for now you are allowed to ignore their dislike for any Western things... The enemy of my enemy.... you know... that practical thinking of yours....
