77 year old British sabotage of Indian streets:

Brits trash India's most holy river! Those damn Brits!

I visited Egypt during my sophomore year in Europe, and have to say Egypt was like that too. Trash everywhere.

I think it's just normal for some of these countries. We make fun of Karen's which is the right thing to do, but this is where these countries need some Karen's.

The problem I have with India defenders is this isn't happening in some industrial area on a few blocks like it does in the US in some cities (skid row). It is just everywhere. Get the garbage out of that river in Molotovs comment. That looks like it could be a good float river on a warm day which it is most every day. Recreational activity will lead to cleaner things. I can hike in Montana where 1k people hike a trail a day. Not 1 piece of garbage/trash anywhere. It's not that hard.

Just found out about this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Legion

The Indian Legion was a military unit raised during the Second World War initially as part of the German Army and later the Waffen-SS from August 1944. Intended to serve as a liberation force for British-ruled India, it was made up of Indian prisoners of war and expatriates in Europe. ...

Indian independence leader Subhas Chandra Bose initiated the legion's formation, as part of his efforts to win India's independence by waging war against Britain, when he came to Berlin in 1941 seeking German aid. The initial recruits in 1941 were volunteers from the Indian students resident in Germany at the time, and a handful of the Indian prisoners of war who had been captured during the North African campaign. It later drew a larger number of Indian prisoners of war as volunteers.

Though it was initially raised as an assault group that would form a pathfinder to a German–Indian joint invasion of the western frontiers of British India, only a small contingent was ever put to its original intended purpose.

I understand wanting to help the enemy of one's enemy, but still, not a good look.

From 25,000 to 250 $ cost reduction

Why is this? I am genuinely curious.

Why is this?

It's like the Spaniards in the Americas during the 16th century - any modern technology is invisible to people who function on paleolithic terms.

My great grandfather from Poland was killed by a train in Chicago in 1907, along with his oldest son. They were trying to cross ahead of a train in a horse and buggy.

I tried to find a newspaper article about it, but that kind of train accident happened pretty much every day at the time, since there were no crossing gates.

Some citizens in India are atleast asking govt to enforce the laws in food hygiene.

The English took what they learned from 500 years of raping Ireland and applied it to India. Famine was the favorite tool.

Ireland was exporting large quantities of food to England all during the famine, mostly beef.

When international outrage was at its peak, the English committed to a public works program to employ jobless Irish. Since it was against Mercantilist policy to improve a foreign country, the English instead paid Irish to rip up the roads in Ireland, further destroying the country.

There are still "famine roads" in Ireland which were pointed out to me. They don't go anywhere, but the English paid to have them built.

The Famine Roads of Ireland: Pathways to Nowhere

Across the rolling hills and rugged landscapes of western Ireland, one can find peculiar relics of a dark chapter in the island’s history. These are the Famine Roads - routes that climb into the hills, twist through valleys, and often end abruptly, leading nowhere. Their haunting presence is a testament to the desperation and suffering endured by countless Irish peasants during the Great Famine of 1845–1852.

Looks like the Brightline in Florida has its death toll. A lot are suicides like I witnessed at BART.

More than 180 people have met their end on Brightline tracks since 2017, making it the deadliest train in the country per million miles traveled. Even more disturbing is that most fatalities are arguably an idiosyncrasy of the state’s libertine, masochistic culture. Subsequent investigations have rarely found train conductors to be at fault, pointing instead to suicides as well as drivers attempting to beat trains at crossings. National Public Radio’s WRLN found that 41 percent of deaths since 2017 were suicides, though it neglected to provide a breakdown of the remaining fatalities. Much of the blame lies with both local and state governments, but Brightline itself has also been reluctant to spend resources on safety infrastructure due to its financial woes.

Lots of sunlight, lots of Vitamin D, which is great for teeth.

There's a reason why most darker Caribbeans are good looking - it's all the Irish blood in them.

Happy new year n diwali

My great grandfather (Irish) was killed by a horse taxi when crossing a road (New York State). He was 96 years old when it happened.

I thought this wasn't real, but it is:

Guy knows what happens in that one location out of millions of towns. Yet choose to go there n particIpate, then complain about his experience as if he was unaware. 500 people out of 1,500,000,000 participate no need to bad mouth everyone.

Its like going to Florida eating frog, snake, n alligator purposely then saying all Americans eat that stuff .

Lol, I do agree these participants are crazy. Kinda disgusting. Even 20% of Americans who eat ass , might find it disgusting.

Wisconsin has something similar but doest make the news.

Tossing dry cowchips for distance is not the same as slathering each other with wet poop.

Diversity: Rutgers is a large public university with a diverse student population of many religions, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Approximately 5,000 of its 50,000 students on the New Brunswick campus are Muslim.

Ok, that is good enough number to kickstart Jihadist politics.

Bingo. It's different. If a finger slips when shitting out my own ass, it's an immediate shower. Not hand washing. And no I'm not a germaphobe. It's shit. I always try and force a shit out before a shower if I can.

Actually nothing wrong with that if cooked and seasoned properly. I'll try anything once and if I like it I would continue to eat it when available.

No different than the KKK here and all white males are racist. The problem with your argument is that it's shit, literally. As far as I've read the KKK doesn't do anything to blacks anymore and the membership is nothing basically. Point is we evolved as a society. India has not except the wealthy class.

500 people smearing shit on each other is 1 too many. I don't care if there's a billion people. And the 500 is all you hear about, it could be 5M and it's not reported of shit smears. No way to track that with that population.

I don't post on this thread to shit on you, pun intended, but we're not just talking cities and a few blocks like in LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, NOLA, etc. We're talking entire regions that are shit holes. You may be lucky to be connected or know where to go, but the internet and reporting says something completely different. I don't trust media, but at some point if so much shit is thrown at you, you have to believe it.
