Finally, some reasonable post by you. I am glad that you defined your view, here is my reply: "Political ideas comes with experience and maturity not with a trigger happy attitude that teenagers seem to possess. " You points are flawed as you are. Experience brings opinions, it can either destroy or make a person, and that is why Politics is a Gamble, which it should not be. ANd if a 16 year old can be one of the greatest mathematician in history, if and only if 18 year old is given a chance to rule, he will in no doubt, might change the face of politics. And ofcourse, i hope you will agree with me, majority of the teenagers think POLITICS IS FULL OF CRAP!!, that is another reason we do not see many young ppl in politics. And talking abt young ppl, How old was PUtin when he took office?? on his 20's?? isnt that young, or did you just not know. 1. How is Gyanendra helping the country's situation? Yes, suraj, I do agree with you. You cannot see how he is been helping the country right now, so lets wait and see after 3 yrs. Let us see, if Nepal will become any civilized. And my part, I have already seen cencorship of media as a downward signal to the country. 2. How will Gyanendra Bring end to Maoist Issue? I do not know any option, because i am not an expert on these issue, but i do know Maobadi's Fundamental Principle is NOT TO HAVE KING IN A COUNTRY. So, i am certainly sure, Gyanendra hasnt helped country and made it any better. 3. How is a previous smuggler and can be called a 'Daku", good for the highest position in the country? Your example of a doctor is pathetic as your support for the King. A good leader for a country, NOT FOR A MOB GROUP, sud be free of extreme guilts. What is exterme you ask? Extreme is breaking the law in maxium and hurting the country. Havent you heard the Murti kanda, and Gaida Kanda, and all those other stuffs?? and dont know you Paras?? sorry, i have mentioned earlier, and i tell you again, my morals doesnt allow me to be ruled by a wrong dk head, who has himself committed major crimes. "Nepal is going through extreme times and if someone as powerful as the King hadn't stepped in like he did, the country would have crumbled to its core. " King stepped in such a negative way, what part dont you understand, if he had serious motive for developing the country, i do not see why does he have to have cencorship on media..?? hasnt media help label maoists as the worst already??..sudnt media help king, if his intentions were right?? I_F bro, i know i sud not even be arguing with you, because you are a learned man in this topic, but i just dont "like" what you have written.. "Sometimes the state has to take extreme measures. Even in btrue democracies, censorship is imposed at the time of national crises, for example, war or other activities that udnermine the national unity and the terretorial integrity of the nation. " It was Hitler on Germany, who took power claiming to get the country out of depression, and infact he did, but because only ppl cud not see thru his real motives, so many lives were lost. How can you trust Gyanendra with such power? I am very suprised, you wud argee on such matter. OK what is democracy? Democracy is a political system, which allows even a poorest guy from a lowest cast, with his hard work and determination, run for the country's highest seat. This is democracy in working. Bionepal, agree with your point, but there is huge difference. INdira Gandhi, was a leader chosen by the ppl, she was not a KING. Second, media was not oppressed like it has been in King's time. And thrid, her move cud be justified as morally right by imposing needed laws, which helped more ppl than it hurt. "Sometime back, somewhere in some other thread I read that u were reading POLITICAL SCIENCE books. Please can u recommend some for me?" Pade, just read Nepal's history, Rana Sasan, and Panchyat Kal wud be enough. These Kings and Ranas, have destroyed the country enough, creating fear, uncertainty and making nepali janta hopeless, like today, who say they have no option but to choose Autocratic Rule.
