That was a good lesson in bad communication. So many words to say "Get them married". I wonder how many people will actually lose interest in the article in frustration before really finding out what it tried to say. I skipped past a zillion huge mountains of words, searching for the answer to their introductory teasing riddle, only fortunate to spot it near the end. If I hadn't caught it on the first pass, I was out of there in total frustration. They shouldn't presume that their readers are interested enough in their speclations that they will wait that long.

 

I also think it will benefit to financially support the sane clerics of Islam.

 

We now hear of billions being ear-marked for defence. It has to be much cheaper and more humanitarian to make real Islam more accessible to the lamer-brained folks.

 

But yes, give those losers a life; a life they will think twice about losing.

 

Islam herself must now take action against these renegade jihad ministers, before the entire world completely writes off Islam as totally demoniac.<font color="#f7f7f7">

If it got some readers in touch with their lack of concentration, frustration, impatience and complaining nature then it served an even greater purpose I suppose.

Too much mundane info for me. I will be satisfied with only the communication effectiveness lesson. And the insightful bit about marriage. Thanks.

Good idea. Vedik base.

When his passion's quieted, he's freed of sin.

All 4 varNas marry - gRhastha.

1) Zudras can only experience one azram - gRhastha.

2) Vaizyas 2 - brahmacari, gRhastha

3) Xatriyas 3 - brahmacari, gRhastha, vanaprastha

4) BrAhmaNas - all 4...

Or if they opt, only 2: 1st => 4th ~ brahmacari bypass.

It's now 2am in NYC. I'm watching PBS Channel 13.

Well done documentary interviewing Israeli & Palestinian kids.

Much hate on both sides till they met each other face to face.

Then all hate subsided, friendship grew, parting brought tears.
