RIP Lee Kwan Yew

I don't think most straight men would have a problem with patriarchal authoritarianism on a personal level. It's different if you are a single woman or gay.

For example, you still get jailed in Singapore for gay sex.

No idea about Singapore and gays.  What's the issue with single women in Singapore? 

Google it.

I get a few hundred dating sites.  And a couple that says "Singapore women are picky".

  She uses an iMac, and won't sink so low as to use my PC.

Wait wait Mono now speaks for most straight men? Ok you are taking this gender and sexuality stuff too far now.

Yes, that is clearly what Marti was saying.

Valmy missed it, but it is Marti that is claiming to speak for most straight men.

Yes, that is clearly what Marti was saying.

I like how we usually agree on things

And how the fuck do you know what a typical Indian thinks?

Because I've talked to typical Indians, and to people who work with typical Indians on a daily basis.  I also read more about India than just reviews for the movie Gandhi.

My Dad was Indian, I've spent about 6 months of my live in India. I've even watched Gandhi twice.  Yet, I have no idea what a typical Indian is, let alone what he thinks. I'm hugely impressed that you have managed to develop such insight, just through talking to some ex-pats.

Such self-hatred.

Woah!

I'm glad to impress you, and sorry you are having such a bad time of figuring out what "typical" means and what kinds of Indians might be considered typical.  Also, not every Indian is an "ex-pat;" that might be part of your trouble.

Of course, if you wish to discuss something substantive rather than simply sniping at semantics, we could do that, too.

[Gups]

You've already said. A typical Indian is one who would prefer to live in China than in India. No semantics are required.

Woah!

I rooted for the British.

Is that what you read?  Well, then, you think you have your answer, so no discussion necessary.  Thanks for sharing.  I think I can move on.
