  1. But they ARE the deciding factors for these "Gurmukhs". Just because they say otherwise doesn't make it true. Our people are wonderfully adept at dressing something up and presenting it as something different; the religiously inclined are arguably more likely and more experienced in these matters, because the facade of religiosity is one they can't afford to let slip.
  2. Fair play to these Muslims, though. They really do force through some pretty major stuff with nothing but sheer brutal will. There's a lesson to be learnt from them, I think, once the Godlessness of it all has been stripped away.
  3. Money, status, and looks. That's what most Punjabi's prioritise when it comes to finding a partner for their daughter. BTW, the money could originate from a non-professional, blue-collar line of work, but as long as the fruits are plentiful, they don't really care.
  4. Some Scots have been known to deep-fry a Mars Bar.
  5. Conspiracy theories aside, it's quite curious how government proposals to do with internet surveillance by the state pre-Paris attacks were roundly condemned by people and the media (as well as ideas being floated about attacking Syria), but post-Paris attacks the public were practically begging the authorities to rifle through their emails and nuke Syria if it meant they were spared from the barbarity of ISIS' bullets on the streets of the West. I think seeing a conspiracy in everything is quite counter-productive, yet there has to be some kind of process that goes on whereby things are pushed through due to a demand from the public that would otherwise not be given the time of day in normal circumstances. Too much of a coincidence.
  6. It's as if the phrase "Case by case basis" doesn't exist for us, lol. It's all or nothing. Like you said, no balance or nuance. It's either "chak doh" or "mar gaye".
  7. The mixed messages don't help. On one hand we've got the "extravagance and excess are antithetical to the teachings of our Gurus" but on the other hand there's "Nothing is too good or expensive for Guru Sahib. To NOT spend on such things is an insult." I wonder where the truth lies in these cases?
  8. The age issue is not something to worry about. The bigger problem is you say you've never interacted with a girl. Now, it depends on your definition of 'interacted', but you have spoken to girls in a purely platonic manner, I hope? Either way, it's like sending a lamb into the lion's den. So many instances where guys like you have been chewed up and spat out by even nothing-women who have no redeeming attributes, yet they still manage to pull one over on clueless guys. Get smart, bro, and do it fast. I doubt you'll get anyone else in your life telling you this.
  9. As partial observer, it's a shame how the birth of Jesus - a notable religious figure who, it is safe to say without fishing out the crucifix and stroking it admiringly, did good whilst on this earth - is an excuse to drink, eat, and buy frivolous goods in an apparently excessive manner. Aside from the observant (who are a gradually decreasing minority), Christmas is so far from what it should be. God forbid Sikhi should ever begin to resemble anything similar when our faith has been in existence for 2000+ years.
  10. Humans. So much arrogance. Me, me, me. "Why did God not ask ME?"
  11. He has a point. I don't know or know of anyone who has successfully extricated Gursikhi from Punjabism.
  12. Hundal's never been one to let the facts obstruct his take on the issues. The annoying thing is why a high-profile Sikh or Punjabi (not the religiously affiliated) hasn't put him straight with a quick tweet or two. If someone with a bit of celebrity (unfortunately, such things count for a lot these days) were to refute his nonsense, he'd think twice about writing such rubbish. He's probably delighted at the lack of criticism.
  13. They're very dangerous people. Plus, they are well-connected and have the backing of the wider community. You know how it is, anyone were to dare flag any such issues and the accuser would be accused of slander, ruining reputations, etc. Best to observe from afar and hope Waheguru does the needful when the time is appropriate.
  14. Probably helping people out in time for Christmas; reduce cooking times and all that. They shouldn't do such seva in a gupt mannner.
  15. I'll keep this brief. Sikhi camp regulars; tyar-bar-tyar, young-ish Gursikh and his missus, always front-and-centre in the community during Gurpurabs and other notable occasions, conduct a sideline of creeping around after dark placing raw chickens pricked with chillis and drenched in rum and god knows what else, and leaving them outside people's front doors or underneath cars. That's just for starters. Yet nobody else has a clue. This is the state of modern Gursikhi. Not a one-off or an abberation. What is it about Gursikhi that attracts these individuals? Can someone answer me?
  16. Meanwhile, in the real world, non-Gursikhs continue to identify themselves as Sikhs, whether you like it or not. What can you do to stop them? "...plans to take Amrit..." Nice little disclaimer there to protect yourself from claims of hypocrisy. So, tell me, how long do you envisage this "planning" stage lasting for you? ;)
  17. You're making a lot of assumptions and leaps in logic. A lot.
  18. Don't be that guy; the brown person with a turban and beard moaning about political correctness. You do have a turban and beard?
  19. A devil's advocate moment, but does anyone think religion could possibly be a hindrance when attempting to conquer and rule, as opposed to being an actual help? Or doesn't it matter? The Roman's didn't place their divinity front and centre when conquering yet still managed to do okay, whilst the Mughals (particularly latter emperors) appeared to conquer solely for the propagation of Islam. Either way, both empires eventually fell so I guess it's a moot point.
  20. A professional dispute which led to compensation being awarded. How is it at all relevant to highlight the man's skin colour when even the Daily Mail didn't fixate on that aspect of the case?
  21. Some of you are incredibly gullible. A dose of healthy cynicism isn't anything to be sniffed at. Go read his posts from day one (there aren't many) and then tell me something about him doesn't stink. Then you can continue with your hand wringing. Until then, you have NO idea what you're talking about.
  22. I can't generalise, but from what I see and hear, young, western Punjabi couples starting to have kids will do up a baby room as a matter of priority as soon as they discover the wife is carrying. They do it because white people do it, and it's a sign of being civilised apparently. That's the basic answer. The assumption is that when husband and wife have had the kid and he or she's sleeping with mum, the baby will be an obstacle whenever the... ahem... mood strikes. They don't want the kid perving on the parents. Apparently, that causes mental issues for the kid later in life, especially if it's a male. I'm not sure where I stand on the issue as I don't have children, but my heart says sticking a newborn in another room is rather cold. Don't seem right to me.
  23. Vah, kya baat hai? From fighting with a classmate over crayons a few months back, to questioning the very fabric of our reality a la Jean Baudrillard. It's like the desi version of Flowers for Algernon.
