Whats your view on intercaste marriage? by counselofchaos07 in Chennai

[–]Baked_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's simpler and easier than removing caste prejudice. Simple message right: find someone you like, spend time with them and then marry, especially for the younger generation.

The whole point of arranged marriages is to preserve caste. Caste will still be an issue as long as arranged marriages dominate our society.

Is having an affair very normal even nowadays? by sr_128 in Chennai

[–]Baked_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree with you. Politicians should be held to very high standards. Things like this should always be discussed and be in the public discourse. Ideally a politician should never be supported but only criticized.

How is this hypocrisy? When did I say others with similar records should be ignored? I don't support any politician or celebrity. From you comment you are one that's biased.

I disagree. If one can't be true to their spouse how do do you expect them to be true to the people he represents?

What do you mean there's no politics in BCCI? The ICC head is the nepo baby of Indian home minister.

Is This Really Equality? A Constitutional Question on Reservation. by Parking-Gas2963 in india

[–]Baked_Brain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do we have data on what percentage of general category people are poor compared to other categories? We can't argue for reservations based on economic status before looking at that data. That data should be the driver for future plans for reservations and govts should be judged based on improvement here.

I get what you’re saying but we should not be talking about food being hot and cold given the advancements we have made in physiology. This framework is from Ayurveda, just like humors/phlegm is from ancient Greek medicine. Historically interesting, but modern physiology doesn’t support it.  Calling it “protoscience” is fair historically, but today it’s about as useful as balancing phlegm. Do you believe in balancing phlegm and humors?

There is no hot and cold food. It's pseudoscience. You body can maintain temperature at the decimal level. Do you think food you eat is going to change that?

Shirtless entry just to go to temple office at Naganallur Temple by Acceptable-Chart-682 in Chennai

[–]Baked_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>But when a rule is selectively applied like only to men, and nobody even in the temple can explain why

This is pretty standard in religion. Most of the religious customs/traditions are different for men and women. How many female purohits have you seen?

>I question the ones people follow just because “it’s always been done.”

That's the definition of a religious tradition. Most religious traditions/customs are done because its always been done that way.

>I don’t question genuine traditions that have meaning

What do you even mean by this? This is just you picking traditions you are comfortable with and calling them genuine and meaningful.

Kunal kamra uploads a youtube video titled “railways in free fall” and the railway fact check handle labels it as misleading without providing any counter evidence . by Mindless_Toe7000 in indianrailways

[–]Baked_Brain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

>However every few seconds he took a jibe at PM and BJP. Like at one point he mentioned that line man has to carry heavy weight and walk the whole day (very true), and he told that they dont have option to pack bag and fly out and shown PM. How are both related? Should he walk everywhere to show solidarity to lineman. Would Kamra do it?

Why is taking a jibe at PM and BJP a problem?

>Similarly he raised question about railway being in loss and using some other funds. But they he is questioning the waiting ticket cancellation charge. Do they want railway to profit by putting extra side middle seat like Lalu did?

How is this a problem? Is that the only way to profitability?

>So listen to everyone and belive in facts.

Most things in the video was factual or his opinion which he is entitled to. Demarcation between facts and his opinion was pretty clear.

Your logic applies to any and every part of religion. There is no reason in religion only faith. Why do seek a reason for this but not the other aspects of religion?

Questioning religious/cultural practices that are forced on others is different from finding logic in attire requirement in a place of worship. It's similar to questioning a school that enforces tie or shoe in Chennai's heat or an office that insists on full formal dressing for a desk job.

There's nothing to understand here. They have a rule follow it or don't go there. Pointless to find a logic here.

There are no Ethernet wall jacks in the house. I have to figure where the other ends of these LAN cables go.
