Lacrosse and hockey sticks.

If I remember my history correctly, one of the primary draws of the at the time new christianity over judaism was specifically that dudes wouldn’t need to lop off part of their dongs in a pre-anesthesia world.

Basically it was a giant stew of small states of various religions, cultures and beliefs. Then everything changed when the English showed up. After the second world war, and the English were divesting their empire like a used coffee filter, the place was partitioned into its modern borders with the Islamics supposed to be in Pakistan while the Hindus and other assorted were supposed to be in India. Of course this required mass migrations of people which didn’t exactly go off without a hitch and so old grudges from before the British colonial days bubbles back up and there were a couple of casual genocides.

So now you’ve got enclaves in both countries, historic grudges and now (in the 1950s) you’re one of the many fronts in the Cold War.

That evolves into a shooting war every once in a while between the two countries with the Indians also squaring off against the Communist Chinese from time to time. The Chinese are still interested in keeping things going because if they can team up with one side, they get a good access to the Indian ocean.

I think they are trying the “let them die” approach. Bold strategy, let’s see how it works out.

Indo-Pakistani politics you mean? Somewhat. I might not be as up to date on it as some other situations in the world, but I’ve had the Coles Notes version.

Neither. Burma, actually.

Nope, but was raised by my parents to have an appreciation of our culture and heritage. Born in Europe actually.

Do you mean actually living in South Asia or just of South Asian extraction? I’m the latter.

I think that we Canadians would be more than happy to add to the Geneva checklist should it come to this.

I’m already buying Canadian, I don’t think I’m going back in the foreseeable future.

Well what else are we supposed to do? Open up about our problems and get ridiculed to oblivion?

Oh no! Anyway…

Fuck his feelings!

He is the Messiah!!!

Smells like BITCH to me.

A Frenchman with an English accent, it’s like a Reese’s.

You know as a serving member that is not white, I am pretty damn offended by this.
