It depends on what the farmer's goals are. If the farmer is trying to get out of farming and look into other opportunities and thinks that the money form the sale of his land will help him with his goals then there is nothing wrong about selling the land. However, I am totally against...

The western world does not love to see slums and dogs. In fact people in America and the rest of west feel sorry for the suffering poor people of India. Every year American alone give away billions of dollars in charity to help poor people in developing countries. People in India need to stop...

TV Channels show what people want to see as long as it is allowed by the law. There are people who would like to see graphic shows on TV. If that was legal, TV channels would show that too. Fortunately, it is not the case and so TV channels cater to the less-worldly wishes of the viewers. By...

Do it yourself. Show your car some love!

All I can say is that in the end the best product for the money, always wins. Economic nationalism doesn't work. Try all you want. At the end of the day everyone has limited resources and everyone want to get the best value for what they have. It really wont matter where a product is made (for...

Well You are proving my point. You are maximizing the value of your money by buying products that give you the most satisfaction. People who buy MNC products are doing just what you are doing and that is trying to get the maximum possible satisfaction for their money spent. Maybe their showing...

As one poster tried to point it out, there wont be any exports if there are no imports. Whoever composed the material in the original post is a pinhead. He/She is looking at just one component of a very complicated global economic system. He/She (who I will call a pinhead for convenience sake...

State University tuition rules vary from state to state. But, broadly speaking all State-Universities have two kinds of tuitions: In-state and out of state. In-state tuition fees are highly subsidized and are paid by students who are classified as residents of a state. Out-of-state tuition...

I do not know much about this individual. But, it reminds me of the movie 'Fashion.' From what I know, its not looks and talents alone that get your foot in the Glamor Industry. You need to "give more than that." Like it or not! She has nothing to offer Mukesh Bhatt. Mahesh Bhatt ka malum nahin!

Let me give you the real definition of inflation. The guys at Delhi School of Economics and other Keynesian Economists dont want you to know this deeply guarded secret. Now it is yours for free. Inflation is unaccounted cash currency floated into the market by the central bank of a country...

Like him or hate him. Mark my words, this guy Raj Thackeray is headed to be the future Chief Minister of Maharashtra. He is following the perfect recipe of attaining a position of power; that has been successfully tested and tried in all parts of the world. This is how it works: Step 1...

Sahayaks are an integral part of the Indian Army's culture and tradition. The practice of allotting Sahayaks to Army officers should not be abolished outright. Instead the system need to be fixed where it is broken. I believe that instead of getting rid of the Sahayaks, the Army needs to...

I saw this candidate whose leg was broken by Thackeray's goons, for taking the exam. Damn! This is open-goondagardi. This cartoon Thackeray reminds me of old Sunny Deol Movie villains who would have their pack of sidekicks ready to go kick some ass. Main to kehta hoon, Maharashtra government...

I think you are confusing 'cost' and 'benefits.' Why do people serve in uniform? So that they can add to the cost for those who live in the society but prefer not to serve in uniform? I just believe that if a soldier is asking for more benefits for his service to the country, then one has to...

Another idiot who is throwing gasoline on the fire by adding to the conspiracy theory that capitalism and lack of regulation is to blame for the market crash. He made some serious dough on Wall Street. Good for him, he is quitting. He has reached the equilibrium in his life. He came to the game...

Naarey lagana, bhookh hadtal to mantri logon ka kaam hai na Kaka! I believe military service is a voluntary contribution to ones nation. Any good soldier should not be concerned about his remuneration. After all he is serving out of patriotism and not out of any expectation of economic...

An empty to-do list.

I have been watching this thread simmering into a controversy. I have some of my own relatives in the US Armed Forces, both active and reserve. Indian representation in the US Armed Forces is very under-proportional compared to some other ethnic groups. However, Indian representation is...

The problem is that most of us do not know what is Capitalism. In school they taught us that USA was Capitalism as if USA and Capitalism were two conjoined twins. One was the same as other! However, that is not true. A few years ago I read Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations.: Before anyone sets...

I do not know how many on this forum got the analogy in Brahm's post. If you read it carefully and know a few things about how financial markets operate, you will get the point. For others let me break it down for you. A lot of US Banks made a lot of bad ARM (Adjusting Rate Mortgages) home...
