homey Ji,
the place where I was born is known as the land of Buddha and the top of da world. I'm a proud Nepali. No doubt.
I didn't mean to slash your post in anyway, but the content was not totally connected to the topic of the thread.
no pun intended, was just saying it wasn't related. dats it.
America is the worlds most powerful and greatest nation. fact ! So, It doesn't take much for people with right mind to
understand why everyone is trying to emulate the socio,economic and cultural aspects of this nation. US showed the
world it's military might with it's nuclear power. I know, before you jump on me, let me tell, nuclear is an atomic energy
it's not being used only for weapons, okay? it's been used for alternatve source of energy to run cities and a country
as a whole. Unfortunately, during wartime, US did drop first ever known nuclear bomb on Japan. That changed the history
of the world. USA became and still the world's super power. Now, other countries over the course of time paced with
America and now bunch of them have nuclear weapons as well. So, just notice, it started more than 5 decades ago.
China, Russia, India, they all copied(still copying) America or at least to say, they all want to possess what US has in
it's arsenal. That's in the part of the nation. Lets go to the general public, they all copy american culture, because it's
simply fabulous. USA has now immigrants from all around the world and it welcomes people from all around the world.
Questions?? some of you must be here under their diversity visa program. Welcoming 50,000 people every year is not
a joke. To make it short, USA is the country of immigrant. It's us who have enriched american culture and spread the
influence all over. I don't see anything bad in that. If you are worried, that our own tradition is being superseded slowly
by invading american culture, then it's needless. Because, blame yourself, don't blame USA. You seek out, you live
american dreams, you copy their hip-hop culture, you copy the way they live and eat, you do that , because it's
simply too cool. You know what I mean?
Talking about me, I had few gray hairs since I was 18, it runs in the family. My hair still 95% black, rest gray. I don't
necessarily copy their everything, I haven't colored my hair ( I know it depends on one's preference, but many of you
definitely must have bleached your hair to look like an american before you took flight to US, I'm saying this because many
whom I know did this and that was ridiculous), I'm still the way I was back home. Simple getup, I set my own fashion whatever
is comfy on me. I don't dress hip/hop, I don't copy accent (many of you do that to mix in here). I've retained my own fashion
and accent. I proudly tell ppl that my accent is Nepalese and they quite like my accent. I've been spreading a thing or two
about my country in my own way. (I don't go on and say 'waduup doug' like many of you do that, and I can instantly differentiate
madeup from the real one) If you do that, stop it cause you look douchebag faking accents. I do copy the way they live, I grab
all the positivities in their way of living, decency, dealing with people, respect and all the stuffs. You don't see this much in younger
population in here but I'm in touch with other decent group of population and I believe , you should copy them. It's upon you , what to take
and what not to take. I take all the good stuffs. Our nepalese youth, whatever they are into, I don't really care as long as they don't
forget 'Nepal'.
homeyji, it's against your moral saying capitalism is bad, this and that blah blah blah.. if you are in US, breathing air in here, part of this capitalist structure and making your living. In nepali ,we have a say ' jun thal ma khayo, tehi thal ma thukyo'.
You don't have any right to say something like that but guess what? this great nation would respect your view because you've a freedom of speech. So, go ahead and keep lashing out.
And, one last thing about capitalism, capitalism was not evil. Everything has it's time and prime, All this industrial revolutions, developments, comforts where do you think it came from? thanks to capitalism. But it's charm is fading out. Like I wrote before, everything has it's prime, so did it's and now it's over. People are being treated as machines, not as human anymore. That's the worst part of the capitalism. But it's gonna be here for long time. Improvised version of any +ism is what people are eagerly waiting for.
Before you go on refering me to michael moore' capitalism:love story', 'food inc' blah blah to me, yeah, I'm aware of it and have watched it and yeah, .. saying once more just in case. it's charm is fading out
These are some of the things, where you don't have to use your book knowledge, just use your common sense. And, that's what we are lacking, because we're constantly being brainwashed. If someone tells you one thing, ' stop yourself ' and start asking ' is it really so'??
Look how stupid we Nepalese are , we still think we are the no 1 in the hydro power in the world, that's ironic, we are not. This is a proof that we're constantly being brainwashed and don't have our own logic to analyze. need proof? we are in information boom era where thought provoking concept of accessing information is emerging, just go to google and see the world information in your finger tip. That's what I do, that's what you should do. educating yourself is not always limited to teachers, you yourself is a teacher in the pathway of the life where you learn from your mistakes and experiences.
homey ji, I don't know you, don't pretend you know me and I'm not anywhere near to atheism. So, don't address me as if I'm secular atheist. If you don't know the dictionary meaning of 'panthiest' , I've clearly put on a video right at the top of this post, yeah yeah.. right up there see?? click it.
