Yes i do!<BR/>There's a need for an introspection ,<BR/>which will actually help us,<BR/>decide on,<BR/>what seems more rational and the otherwise!<BR/>There is this news! have a look ---<BR/><BR/>" One of the world’s most respected scientists is embroiled<BR/>in an extraordinary row after claiming that<BR/>black people are less intelligent than white people.<BR/>James Watson,<BR/>a Nobel Prize winner for his part in discovering the structure of DNA,<BR/>has provoked outrage with his comments,<BR/>made ahead of his arrival in Britain today.<BR/>More fierce criticism of the eminent scientist is expected<BR/>as he embarks on a number of engagements to promote a new book<BR/>‘Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science’.<BR/>Among his first commitments is a speech to a London audience at the Science Museum on Friday.<BR/>The event is sold out.<BR/>Dr Watson,<BR/>who runs one of America’s leading scientific research institutions,<BR/>made the controversial remarks in an interview in The Sunday Times.<BR/>The 79-year-old geneticist said he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because<BR/>“all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -<BR/>whereas all the testing says not really."<BR/><BR/>He said he hoped that everyone was equal,<BR/>but countered that “people who have to deal with black employees find this not true”.<BR/><BR/>He says that you should not discriminate on the basis of colour,<BR/>because “there are many people of colour who are very talented,<BR/>but don’t promote them when they haven’t succeeded at the lower level”.<BR/><BR/>He writes that “there is no firm reason to anticipate that<BR/>the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated<BR/>in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically.<BR/>Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity<BR/>will not be enough to make it so”.<BR/><BR/>He claimed genes responsible for creating differences in human intelligence could be found within a decade.<BR/>The newly formed Equality and Human Rights Commission is studying Dr Watson’s remarks “in full”.<BR/><BR/>Keith Vaz,<BR/>the Labour chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said today:<BR/>“It is sad to see a scientist of such achievement making such baseless,<BR/>unscientific and extremely offensive comments.<BR/>“I am sure the scientific community will roundly reject what appear to be Dr Watson’s personal prejudices.<BR/>These comments serve as a reminder of the attitudes which can still exist at the highest professional levels.”<BR/><BR/>Dr Watson was hailed as achieving<BR/>one of the greatest single scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century<BR/>when he worked at the University of Cambridge in the 1950s and 1960s,<BR/>forming part of the team which discovered the structure of DNA.<BR/><BR/>He shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for medicine<BR/>with his British colleague Francis Crick<BR/>and New Zealand-born Maurice Wilkins. "<BR/><BR/><BR/>Now just tell me is this really being unscientific,<BR/>should we believe him, or not ...???<BR/>The people ( blacks ) have already termed him unscientific (through their comments) !<BR/>Wat say???<BR/><BR/>I ain't being partial to anybody ( although it seems so ) ,<BR/>But yes, haven't the blacks grown with time and study..????<BR/>Can't they prove that the study is wrong or right THROUGH something LIKE A COUNTER STUDY than<BR/>merely being unfair by abusing such a scholar!<BR/><BR/>---NVSNikhil Shintrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08236346749382445257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-13808247951996649792008-04-01T09:23:00.000+05:302008-04-01T09:23:00.000+05:30one of those classic things: evryone knows thr is an issue.. no one knows how to resolve it..Shreyashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182434564789960081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-30070327501636289612008-03-30T15:35:00.000+05:302008-03-30T15:35:00.000+05:30You have said it quite well,<BR/>to the extent of your thought process!<BR/>What i would like to add on the same is that,<BR/>perception in its very context, about racism, is very relative!<BR/>Racism has been used, time and again, to create and rather blow out issues,<BR/>only to create a hype and more often,<BR/>it has been an instrument for those who are politically inclined!<BR/>My stake would often relate to an issue which is mamoth and <BR/>i;e the amount of benefit these a**holes ( polticians and the ' bad' media derive out these issues!<BR/>Racism will exist in the manner it has been there;<BR/>Playin its part for CENTURIES TOGETHER!<BR/>It would simply exist till the human 'RACE' exists!<BR/>'Race' being that for superority and dominance!<BR/>And it is not new, for the humans, to offend anybody with anything!Nikhil Shintrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08236346749382445257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-64708143665825282122008-03-30T13:46:00.000+05:302008-03-30T13:46:00.000+05:30@Rutesh <BR/><BR/>Very rightly said and politically correct as well.:)aparna-aimingthestarshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700172168211418719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-4398264185775711142008-03-30T12:21:00.000+05:302008-03-30T12:21:00.000+05:30just see how genetic difference creates such a big effect [:D]..... nice written [:D]spandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058139156683200311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-60796294465009393332008-03-30T12:15:00.000+05:302008-03-30T12:15:00.000+05:30@rutesh .... +1<BR/><BR/>:PSaptieshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16218953094707607104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-80725521006309579502008-03-30T11:47:00.000+05:302008-03-30T11:47:00.000+05:30Calling a black person a black guy for example isn't racist, nor is calling a jew jewish(or just jew), thats just an identity, no where in the world will you be considered a racist if you call a black guy a black guy, racism, in my opinion, and I am sure a whole bunch of people agree with me, is the assumption that somehow, a different genetic make-up implies a certain characteristic common to all from that race or community, so saying that black guys have huge penises or the jews are the best with money, is also racist. Racism doesn't always have to be negative, but its still racism.Rhombus Tomsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05950545949614884812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-83471039411141261662008-03-30T04:46:00.000+05:302008-03-30T04:46:00.000+05:30Well, calling one guy a monkey is not racist, certainly not, but saying something like "all aboriginies are monkeys" is certainly racist.<BR/>Words, are interpreted different ways in different part of the world, for example a fag in america is a derogatory reference to a gay person but a fag in england can be interpreted as a cigarette. Words tend to carry different baggage in different contexts, N-word is a word that has a lot of history in america, and hence all the argument over Nas' album, but since you have more to say I'll wait.<BR/>BTW, you not being black will never ever understand what the N-word feels like, though you will get an idea if you go to the UK and get yourself called a coolie or a WOG.Rhombus Tomsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05950545949614884812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-97333051964135412008-03-29T10:31:00.000+05:302008-03-29T10:31:00.000+05:30Hey,its rily sorta privilege to read this kinda stuff!<BR/>there's more to it than mere reacism, i believe..<BR/>more often than not,it seems to be a political gimmick or some kinda convenient way of dealing with social issues, <BR/>(more often, blowing them out of proportion, unnecessarily though)<BR/>'Racism' has always been used,<BR/>not for voicing out the unrest, but to make good political success.<BR/>and here,<BR/>political success doesn't always have to be pure politics..<BR/>but the politics we get to see everywhere..<BR/>whether its sports or education or anyother profession for that matter..<BR/>what i beleive is, what turns out to be an 'offensive racist comment'<BR/>is a matter,<BR/>purely of perception and hence is relative to the VERY context of it..<BR/>every person is a best judge of himself and his comments,more SO, than the 'INCORRECT media influencing' or somebody eLse we should deal with these issues with more introspection!<BR/>NVSNikhil Shintrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08236346749382445257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-33941215450290127152008-03-29T09:07:00.000+05:302008-03-29T09:07:00.000+05:30well..great i agree...yaar//[:D]////spandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058139156683200311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-84091155897767228962008-03-27T21:23:00.000+05:302008-03-27T21:23:00.000+05:30dude i jst luv the way u write. man im startin to bcum a fan of urs now! stop it, or u mite find u stalkin one dayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837897583919757597.post-14232210687955928562008-03-27T21:20:00.000+05:302008-03-27T21:20:00.000+05:30well tht was a grt thng to go thru upon..... i mean u really laid t media rippd off..... i wnder if ths gets publishd in a newspapr or nt.... they need guts to show wt u mentioned...... luv t way u show wt t commenier wanna see and read.....

You may remember these very politicians who show no empathy towards the plight of the people were extremely concerned that Enron will bleed the exchequer to bankruptcy...so whats different now, well, today the people of Maharashtra don't mind paying extra for uninterrupted power, but even the other states do not have enough to sell.<BR/>The Enron plant in Dabhol energized the Konkan region's non existent economy, I would really like to see that getting re-commissioned, that could alleviate the situation to some extent...ofcourse, provided the MSEB gets its act together and finally sets up a distribution system that does not cause 40% energy losses!! 40% energy loss!! What a joke, more like 40% of energy robbed!Rhombus Tomsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05950545949614884812noreply@blogger.com
