dear fellas, the above article was quite funny to read. from the first word to the last, it screamed proganda to me. it seems that the sole purpose of the article was to generate some "good ole" ethnicity issue. i do like to discuss political issues and things of such nature, however, when the topic of the discussion is so transparantly "laughable" (in the sense that it's blanantly setting one type of people against another) the outcome of the discussion is bound to produce some form of "anti" feelings therefore the expression of raw feelings. one has to be careful not to take things at its face value. quite often it is easy to make a hugeee general statement without much knowledge of the subject, and we do fall in this pitfall specially when it comes to "ethnicity issue", but it is up to an individual to make such distiction i have read some of the postings and they are interesting in their our right. one thing that struck me the most was that at first raybati seems to put much emphasis on the unity of the people, yet the tone of the postings and the comments themselves are dividing. to me, raybati's comments are similar to bikashtiwari's posting but only put a midler tone..why? despite the differences in the tones bothe essentially state the same thing. (anyway..you may or may not have realized it but although you seem to be interested in uniting people, but i have certainly felt your subtle bias view. yes, we all have bias view of certain things, but when our bias views are stated one is to take and examine it, for they are constructive criticism. best, nepalilady
