Here's my line-by-line rebuttal to the posting made by the person who calls himself PresidentOfNepal2035.

के नेपाल मा कमाएको लोकप्रियता लाई भर्‍याङ् बनाएर बिदेश मा मोज गर्नु नेपाल लाई ठगेको भएन र ?


If one becomes a celebrity in Nepal, does that mean s/he is trapped in that environment for life?  When an actor or singer becomes famous, it is up to him or her how that fame is used.  So if that person chooses to move to another country, how is that wrong?  Kasari tyo Nepal-lai thageko huna gayo?

Further more, what is this about "bidesh ma gayera moj garney" crap?  As it was made evident by the originating poster, these Nepali celebrities are working hard to make their ends meet here in the US.  Unlike in corrupt culture of Kathmandu, here in the US, people actually look favorably to honest work, no matter what the job entails. 

And even if they are "bidesh-ma gayera moj garey", what is it to you?  After all, they are doing so with their own money.

आखिर उनिहरु लाइ visa दिदा अंेरिका मा नै गएर घरजम गरेर बस भनेको त पक्कै थिएन होला नि ? कलाकार को नाताले नै दिएको थियो, पछी नेपाल फर्कन छ भनेर ।

How many Nepalis who come to the US say that they will not return?  Except for those who come with immigrant visa such as DV, family alocated and Green Card, every body says to the consular that s/he will return back to Nepal.  Of course, people have the right to change their minds.  Once the student with F1 visa gets a job with H1 visa, s/he might change her mind to settle in the US by acquiring the Green Card.  How is that different for "kalaakaars"? 

फेरी कलाकार लाई हामी साधारण नेपाली सरह दाज्न पनि त भएन नि । आखिर कलाकार भनेको त राष्ट्र को गहना भन्छन । अनी राष्ट्र को गहना जस्तो मान्छे बिदेस मा बस्न थालयो भने आखिर नमज्जा त हामी साधारण नेपाली लाई नै भयो नि हैन र्  ?

Kalaakaar raastra ko gahanaa re?  So are you treating them as national treasure?  As it was made evident by the postings above, people like you look at them with much disgust and jealousy.  Now you are saying that they are national treasure just because it bolsters your argument.  If that is not hypocrisy then what is?

C'mon, dude, get off your freakin' high horse and holier than thou attitude.
