Is the Onion still functioning?
I thought...

Talk about having waaaay too much time on your hands.

How do you say "GET A LIFE" in Hindi?

[Ditter]

Are you going to name your dog Mahatma after the rice?

You think about it a moment and you will see that IF Tibet regains independence whatever force that might be is going to bring it into conflict with every single surrounding state, no matter what they are called!

Living here in a neighborhood with several people from different parts of Kashmir I learned quickly to always refer only to the geographic structure of the area and not to the geopolitical details.

As I said, it's far more complex than I described. No doubt it could get worse.

They've resurrected this old issue nonissue? I remember reading about this years ago. Here's another photo of the little beauty, India.

So if I named my cat after India Wilkes (Ashley Wilkes sister in "Gone With The Wind") would Indians be offended?

You said: if Tibet ever regains it's independence, Tibet and Kashmir will have overlapping claims to the same desolate mountains

I proved you wrong. Tibetan independence would be instigated by India who would want a return to pre-1949 days when they had a border state separating China from India.

Look at the map in #160: It's not that complicated.

Oh, good grief!

I named my puppy Melvin because he reminded me of Mel Gibson- handsome, yet mischievous.

I expect Mr. Gibson to stop by any day now to protest! :P

Okay, let's switch it around hypothetically.....The PM of India names his cat America.....hmmmm, that just really doesn't pi$$ me off at all. Some people....

[SoCal Pubbie]

Looks just like my old cat, the late, great, Mr. Science!

[muawiyah]

Naw, Tibetan independence will be instigated by indigenous forces loyal to the Dalai Lama. He will provide them with extraordinarily powerful weapons secretly sold to him by the United States.

Even the country calling itself "India" will find itself in trouble with these guys!

What a pretty kitty!

[maxevens]

thats because, we indians dont call indian as our mother land for nothing. We respect it as our mother.

Instead of naming ur dog as Mahatma, try naming it as Abraham Lincoln.
