    It's a complex issue that has a bit of everything from various categories depending on the type of person involved. My original argument was focused on the average Punjabi for whom Sikhi doesn't play a role in their life on any level. They are more than willing to criticise even decent religious figures, but are unable to recognise their own hypocrisy when it comes to other issues that may not be spiritual or religious, but involve some level of morality and ethics.

    Oh, we're cynical and untrusting when it comes to matters of spirituality and faith, but issues of wealth, sex, and general Punjabi degeneracy, and they're all babes in the wood who are supposedly "tricked" into making mistakes.

    In many ways, being a religious figure in the truest sense of the word is incredibly difficult, more so in modern times. I can completely appreciate why Dasme Paatshah said it's not enough to know only about your own scriptures. Scoping out the opposition (as well as the non-theist aspect of modern belief systems) is vital.

    For me, I've always considered saintliness to encompass more than the physical act of adhering to a religious path and being firm in its tenets. In my opinion, it includes physical fitness, a restrained yet nourishing diet, a broad knowledge of many subjects not limited to religious do's and dont's, a basic yet incisive grasp on human psychology, etc. Anyone in the modern age who has aspirations of genuinely reaching out to people in order to positively affect others on a spiritual level needs to know their stuff. The days of ill-tempered babeh sitting on stages, admonishing the sangat and adding masaleh to their sakhiyan are long gone. People aren't as trusting or gullible as they use to be.

    Any background info on what lead to the beating?

    Takkiya.

    You mentioned Guru Angad Sahib in relation to fitness and sports. Not me. I didn't make the distinction between Guru Sahibs, you did. I merely commented on an aspect of what one particular incarnation of that jyot spearheaded. Keep your caps lock and bold letters under control, Singh Ji.
  8. MisterrSingh
    That's brilliant. I'd forgotten this aspect to Guru Angad Sahib's period of Guruship. Physical fitness is absolutely essential. No one's saying people have to attain an Olympic level of fitness, but at least get to a stage where even mundane efforts don't get a person winded.

    A few reasons. The racial and immigrant make-up of the U.S. is slightly different to that of the UK. Plus, there's the longstanding commonwealth and military links between some of the South-East Asian communities and the British, etc., so arguably there's a bit more engagement from both sides, whereas with the U.S. there is that slight distance between the hosts and immigrants from the East, IMO.

    Change the record, Q. I wasn't even alluding to "whitey" or any of the other nonsense you've got a chip on your shoulder about. The other posters you were interacting with may have mentioned something along those lines, I don't know, I hadn't read that far back. I was replying to your "numbers" argument; nothing more. You're either being deliberately obtuse (a troll) or you're in need of a history, psychology, and sociology lesson. Since I don't have time for any of that, I'm sure you'll understand if I cease this nonsensical back-and-forth. Having a debate with someone in a mature manner with some give and take is preferable to the game-playing you seem to revel in on a regular basis. You can't stand Sikhs and brown people so much, then there's a straight-forward solution to your problem: leave this forum. As an aside, this might dispel some misconceptions you possess on the above subject. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/mar/16/zac-goldsmith-leaflet-british-indians-heirlooms The Guardian's a regressive-leftist rag, but even a stopped clock is correct twice a day.

    i've already explained it to you. It's not about "doing," it's merely enough to create or stoke already existing divisions. If, hypothetically speaking, physical unrest does develop in the distant future, it will be enough to know that Sikhs will be against Muslims. Numbers and outcome aside, that's enough. Stop taking everything so literally.
  14. MisterrSingh
    I think you're getting caught up in the literal logistics of the situation, as opposed to the broader, sociological aspects of it. Clearly, Sikh numbers are low in the UK. But when people talk about using Sikhs as pawns, it's not in terms of gathering a bunch of Singhs together who'll then go on the rampage against huge numbers of Muslims. It's more to do with drumming up ill-feeling in Sikh minds; some of that will invariably lead to skirmishes. But when people refer to Sikhs being used as pawns in these modern times, I believe it's not a literal act of battles breaking out on the streets IMO.

    I imagine it would be quite tricky to get a fish to lay still before doing jhatka. It would be flipping and squirming all over the place. And now I can't stop laughing as I imagine a Singh trying to hold onto a fish in order to perform jhatka.
  17. MisterrSingh
    There is nothing that God cannot be. Yet, perhaps you're taking this too literally, Singh Ji? In the previous line the soul is compared to an "impregnable fort." That doesn't literally make the soul a fort with associated ramparts, a drawbridge, etc., does it? Perhaps the use of "warrior" in the above context refers to His spiritual qualities having an unshakable, warrior-esque determination to overcome the impossible?

    I'd dispute the "life was supposed to be a pleasant picnic" opinion. There is pleasure to be found in adversity. The beauty of existing is when life drags us down and somehow we find a way to get back up; that's how a man truly discovers what he's made of. But I agree with you generally speaking. Unfortunately, the Punjabi mindset doesn't lend too favourably to what's being suggested here.

    "Cheeky black bugger" lmao.

    The Far East was robbed blind by whites back in the day when sea merchants eventually gave way to the European attack ships. Somehow, they recovered. That doesn't reflect too favourably on our ethnic antecedents.
  21. MisterrSingh
    Yeah, we should all focus on phat.

    He's ex-army, so there might be an extension of that. He's a smart guy, I'm sure he'll be considered with his opinions.
  23. MisterrSingh
    I agree. It's unnecessary.

    "Ted Cruz drops out." And he takes it out on his wife. For shame. https://zippy.gfycat.com/IdleCreamyDanishswedishfarmdog.webm

    When they're lined up as easy as that one, you've just gotta hit them out the park.
