Dude, memyselfandnepa,l...you sound like a fake, sycophantic suck up...You don't need to come into a forum and shed light on Nepal's situation and use that to spread guilt trips to people..We are all well aware of What is going on. What fault is that of our's that we should sit in a corner and brood? The ANA convention, whatever the perception may be of it, is still a place where people meet. What people do with their time and conversations is their own virtues or flaws, but don't balme the organization for wanting to create an annual Nepalese gathering. Nepal's problem is too deep rooted for a surface dwelller like yourself to pretend to understand. Stop your ridiculous laments, twisted idealism and hollow nationalism. The ANA convention is a good thing. Meeting people and interacting is important. And one more thing people..Stop saying that the ANA convention is in New York. It is in freakin New Jersey. A whole different state. I hate how people keep using New York's name to promote and advertise events in Jersey.
