But dude, don't you think it's relevant to the discussion at hand due to the fact that she was the one who asserted that she always tells her frends to go for intercaste marriage? If she tells her friends to do so, but she's not gonna do it herself, that's sort of weird to me. I think she needs to clarify her stance. I'm not forcing her to do what she doesn't want to do. That sort of sounds like fascism. I do not understand how it's a personal attack given the fact that she was the one who brought out the "I always tell all my frens to marry outside their caste so that we can end the castism among Nepalis" issue--so it seems to me that it's a pretty pertinent question. Does she practice what she preaches? All this discussion aside, I personally want Meera to succeed and wish her luck. I do not attack people personally unless I feel attacked. In this case, I didn't feel attacked, and I felt that my challenge was quite objective. But I guess some people felt I stepped out of bounds or whatever. "in fact, she very well may, and rightly so... " Now, I believe she has the right to marry whoever she wants. I'm pro-choice on most things. But guess what, I have my views, and I stick by them. Here's the deal, I have strong views on many things, but forcing people to do certain things would be fascism. I have realized that I am libertarian. You know how libertarians are. We are for choices. There are tons of libertarians who are personally against abortion, to give you an example, but feel that they wouldn't support it personally. In other words, it's people's choice. My views have evolved. People change. So for example, gay sex is weird to me, but people can do whatever they want. I lead my life the way I feel is correct. As long as I don't shove my opinions down people's throats, I think I am within limits. I am gonna post my opinions, but most people don't agree with me anyways. They're just my views. End rant.
