@Deshpacito661 In the modern context, arranged marriage is purely matchmaking, which is being rediscovered in the West from first principles as dating based culture will always leave a lot of unmatched people and poor matches.
Indians need to stop hating themselves just because the West does.
@Deshpacito661 "parents picking your spouse for you is considered loser behavior for a man."
Societies should not run on "what others do". It's a simple question: is marriage an important societal institution or not. If yes, family should be invested in it. If not, who cares anyway.
@ducati_dada Religion is not a material tool. It is reality and truth for liberating the soul.
I assume you're an atheist, so no use discussing further. We have different planes of belief.
Good day.
@ducati_dada And it is still poor as a secular republic. And irreligiosity won't yield magical prosperity, it will just erode India's society, especially considering India still isn't rich enough to handle social friction like irreligious West or East Asia.
It is what it is though.
@ducati_dada "People need to get on with the times"
Horrific strategy. It's happening anyway due to rising materialism and irreligiosity in India, but the effects will be overwhelmingly negative.
@Finance_Weights@SanghiZaemon@RuntimeTerror45 Again, traditional consumption of ganja and its attempted use in these gatherings are not the same at all, stop trying to justify one using the other.
We clearly have different red lines here. You think using drugs for recreation is fine for kids. I don't. No use debating.
Gday
@Finance_Weights@SanghiZaemon@RuntimeTerror45 And it's disgusting to selectively use the Vedas without having an ounce of belief in them. Try to be better.
Have you ever even thought of the Vedas apart from trying to use them as religious justification for weed consumption? If not, you really should stop using them.
@Finance_Weights@SanghiZaemon@RuntimeTerror45 Cmon. Not one person in that gathering was doing it because of what's written in the Vedas, but because this is what happens in Western parties.
Do you really don't know how to argue a point apart from poor gotchas and red herrings?
@SanghiZaemon@Finance_Weights@RuntimeTerror45 Because it is a crime. And Because it's bad for them. "Youth" is the time when they are not wise enough to make good judgments. What's the use of adults or society itself if we let kids do harmful things?
And I promise, smoking weed won't magically make anyone innovative.
@Finance_Weights@SanghiZaemon@RuntimeTerror45 It's not for you to decide either, my friend. And of course I can express my views lol, don't need you to state the obvious.
And please stop resorting to random diversions (sofa lol). I realise we have completely different moral compasses, good day to you.
@SanghiZaemon@Finance_Weights@RuntimeTerror45 People need to get actual, interesting dynamic lives. We are in an era of unparalleled tech and possibilities, every snippet of knowledge and every entertainment source at our tips.
And the only, universal way to have "fun" is intoxication? C'mon. So sad and boring.
@SanghiZaemon@Finance_Weights@RuntimeTerror45 Weed is not a basic human need.
Smoking weed and drinking alcohol are not the only ways of having fun (hell, they don't seem fun at all to me)
I have attained a lot of material prosperity in my life, but I never had to do these for fun.
People need to stop being NPCs.
