:surprised This is completely a de trop comment and detracts one from the main topic.

Nevertheless if you want to nit pick I am game for it!

You must learn to think laterally which evidently you dont from my observation on this insolent repartee.

Its simply Newtons third law of motion. Action is equal to Reaction. Also in QM the observer is as important as the observed.
In my case two fingers to you!. How many fingers does that make??

I refrain from making any racial comments on the U.S. though we are neutral.
But remember we (Indians) were civilsed 5000 years ago when the rest were barbarians!

Mally,

Not to digress too far from the topic in hand, but I must respectfully disagree with the statement that Indians were civilized 5000 years ago. You did not define what you meant by "civilized" for beginners. You also did not mention that many of the relics from that far back are in fact weapons. I would ask if people who engage in warfare are truly civilized?

Just for curiosity, what do you know about the "7 Rishi Cities".

Fusion - who knows this could get really deep! :surprised

Things are getting really off-topic, so I'm locking the thread. Might I suggest any further discussion of the mechanics of finger-pointing and the origins of Indian civilization be moved to either the Lounge or the SoapBox?
