Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yes thats right. when aid giver assumes superiority airs even beggers would decline. All the same India never was a begger. It was stolen fundamental research from India that fuels the the western economies. It is stolen money accepted as stolen (knowing to be stolen that is a crime anywhere else) that fuels swiss economy. So it is better to be a begger but honest and civilised than to be a thief; accessory to theft and the like. But we, being cultured and civilised we do not keep harping on this. By the way attack maybe the best form of defence but you try that on ppl like Indians we will fight more *smile*. Insulting and attacking will not make us back out. with that I stop talking of this *smile* I am travelling in an hour and will be back in africa 2morrow. So more after that.
