1. I am staunchly libretarian, and have been for years.

2. I am not going to bother defending the "white privelage" thing, I know its an argument that I can't win. Think what you will.

3. I am fiscally conservative. I didn't like what Bush did, I don't like what Obama is doing. I think government is a BAD thing. I think the tendency of our generation to get their politics from what is "cool" or what SNL or Comedy Central tells us is a very stupid thing. You think its as simple as repubs are bad and dems are good... ignorance is bliss I guess. Thinking like that doesn't accomplish anything.

4. White supremacist is your big hang up. You expect me to dance every time you toss it out there and I am just not going to. Think what you will.

5. You do not speak for all sikhs. I guess marrying a punjabi girl, learning sikhi, going to gurdwara for over a year, helping out with langar, waking up for amrit vela, and choosing to raise my children in a religion that I was not raised in ( she offered to convert to catholic for me, but I refused to push my beliefs on her) all occurred because I am a white supremacist who is not a friend of sikhs. One day, many many years from now I suspect, you will realize that you do not know nearly as much as you think you do. If you have such strong feelings... please... go into politics. I think after a while you would find your gross generalizations were very inaccurate.

We lived in deep south for a number of years which is staunch republican. I found some best

human beings among them.

Do not equate bad things with conservatives.Many of them are not racists and most of them

value family values.Bad apples are in every community.

The point was some stupid people being part of a party dont make it good or bad. Good repubs dont make the TV.

If I was a canadian and kept seeing sikhs on tv associated with gangster and assumed they were all gangsters... dont you see how stupid that would be?

Thanks for throwing in the sikh kid thing, way to keep the conversation classy.

Thanks for chiming in GPS

Your letting them off the hook quite lightly, sure, individually some of them may be as good as gold but that Republican type ideology they support in its modern form is pretty nasty. It's global effects are pretty toxic too.

Someone needs to tell teach these nice conservatives you speak of to open their eyes a bit more before they stupidly unleash another barely educated fool onto the global scene with disastrous consequences.

That is like seeing some of the German people who supported Nazis into power as nice, because they were polite on a one to one basis ignoring the fact that the thing they supported turned out to be some evil destructive force.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
