Re: [mukto-mona] Re: Obama vows justice for killed US envoy



To cite a reference on books being peer reviewed, even Satanic Verses by Rushdie had been reviewed before publication, and a reviewer was Kushwant Singh.  It may help you to know that I was a reviewer of articles sent for publication in 'The Journal of solution Chemistry' years ago.  I gave it up ultimately as they would not pay be a dime for the trouble.  In contrary to your understanding that Chinese economic progress started 'only after relaxing' it might have accelerated after such relaxation, it started long before Mao Tse Tung was dead.


I may be losing my mind lately, but to be at par with a few braggarts here, you may rest assured, would take a few more decades.

Do you understand that Chinese economic progress started only after relaxing their communist economic/social policies to adopt capitalist economic principles? Obviously you don't. I think you need the refresher course on economics before me.

Also, you should take a refresher course on publishing scientific works. I do not think you have that much experience of publishing scientific papers in the reputed international Journals. Otherwise, you would not say that books are peer reviewed publications also. People can write scientific books or review articles based on published knowledge, and usually a friend writes flattering review on the book.  That's not called peer review. You must be losing your mind lately.

Yes, progressive taxation in conjunction with currency devaluation can accelerate the redistribution process. That's what Obama is trying to do in the USA. But, this is not the way to change fates of the poor people. If redistribution worked, socialist countries would be economically successful and survived.

"To redistribute wealth, you need force.That is a primitive process, currently the process is progressive taxation and even faster is progressive devaluation of currency.  In last forty years, the dollar, for instance has lost over ninety percent of it's value.  Share market upheavals also work.  Big guys have lost significant chunks of their wealth in course of weeks in recent history.  In lieu of warriors to enforce something, let the economists ruin the rich.  They would the job without a drop of blood shed.

Income redistribution is the central objective of a socialist system. To redistribute wealth, you need force. The people who will exert that force will remain rich or become rich, and the rest will become slaves. An example is the North Korea now.

I know that Barak Obama is not going to take the money from the rich. He can't.  American system will not let him. But he is saying so only to please his poor and middle class voter base. That's the point. He is playing Robin-hood just to get their votes. He knows that. Only people don't know - are his blind supporters. Therefore, Barak Obama's anti-rich rant is just a plain deceitful tactics to buy votes. He has no economic record to run with, so, this is the only thing left for him to run on.

By the way, I am happy that Barak Obama is richer than me. He is living the American Dream.

Forgive me for saying so; but I see a "Joe the Plumber" syndrome in Dr. Roy. That guy was arguing with Barak Obama four years back about the possible redistribution of wealth that he hoped to have, but did not have at the time. This is typical of the ignoramuses among the lower middle class Americans who could be fooled by the Republican Party.
 
Talking about 'anti-rich mantra from our beloved President', I have no doubt that Barak Obama is many times richer than Dr. Roy. He certainly is not anti-rich. I have never seen him advocating anything like making a rich person poor. In the world of rich people, he is a bit more decent. That is all. He is not about to give away the riches of himself or of anyone else in his class.

If I understood correctly - the first part of your comments says America is not a land of opportunity for some people, because many people are not working in the field they graduated from. Yet, you are concluding that America is the land of opportunity. What is it?
 
My friend, I am not working in my field of education also, and you will find millions of people, like me, who switch fields every day. It has nothing to do with smartness. How many countries can offer that flexibility? Forget about me, ask yourself - are you better off in America than you would have been in any other countries?
 
Now, let me remind you again, if you have forgotten, real king-maker is the perception in life, not how much money you have. You will probably find – millionaires, who are not happy because they are not billionaires yet. We have a janitor in our department. Whenever I see him, he gives me inspiration. He is always so happy. When I asked him about his secret, he said – "Life is what you make of it." In my view – he is the king in his world. You can be resentful of others' successes or you can make peace with what you have or you can dream for betterment and strive for it. It is up to you. I know it will be hard to understand for those who are getting daily dose of resentment and anti-rich mantra from our beloved President.

About a day or two ago, Dr. Jiten Roy said that he came to America with only $20 in his pocket and the land of opportunity has placed him where he is now. Maybe he now owns $20 million. As far as I know, any student of Physics who came to America for higher studies came with a job (assistantship) in hand. Some students even got the plane fare from the university. But think about the student who came to Dhaka university with 20 taka in hand and graduated with a good degree that helped him come to America. I know many Ph.Ds from good schools in America who are not doing "proper" jobs. I cannot say that those who are not getting jobs despite having good degrees are less smart. 
I hope nobody misunderunderstand me. No doubt this is a land of freedom and opportunities.

There is nobody else with the very same name as mine.  You should very well know where I come from, your origin being the same place.  Being a new convert you are expected to display more loyalty but having your trust in it is a different matter.  If the US-University system is among the great things in your opinion, you are unaware of it's history even sixty years ago.  Even the Ivy Leaguers were way behind the European ones.

I can give hundred reasons why I support other party, but - nobody will change their mind. Then what's the point. So, let's stay away from politics.
 
The other issue you raised is interesting. You said you are staying away from US pressure-cooker society. I am not sure what that means. As far as I know, a substantial part of your life has been spent in the USA; you received higher education here, and worked here until retirement. Now, you feel US society is a pressure-cooker, and you live outside. It will be interesting if you care to explain a bit more on this, because I also think this society is moving away from the traditional values that made this country great. I do not like what I see recently.
 
You said that USA arranged and/or sat back while Japan attacked the Pearl Harbor, so that they can bomb Japan into Stone Age. It is apparent from your statements that – you are a contrarian, and believe in the conspiracy theories. You probably also believe 9/11 was planned by George Bush administration so they can attack Afghanistan and Iraq. My wife told me yesterday – she heard that - the infamous film was funded by middle-eastern money to spark the violence against the USA. All these are a bit nutty to me, to put it mildly. Then again, what do I know about the truth? After all, human-beings are the most dangerous animals on the planet.

You seem overwhelmed with emotion.  I am not a Democratic voter, I do not even reside in that pressure cooker society called the U. S. A.  It's not unlikely for the U. S. agents to pull strings to stage such event as happened in Benghazi to raise the popularity of an incumbent U. S. President in the election year.  Remember, even the Pearl Harbor bombing was allowed to happen.  Hawaii is less an American island than Japanese; Of fifty states, nothing more than thirteen colonies should be legitimately claimed by the U.

Dr. Jiten Roy could do himself a big favor by acquiring knowledge before posting his remarks here in M-M forum. Yes, this is not the first time that a U.S. ambassador was killed in a foreign land by terrorists in the line of duty. Francis E. Meloy, Jr. the U.S. ambassador to Lebanon was assassinated in 1976. There may be another one or two American ambassadors who were killed abroad while serving our nation. And he should not try to blame the killing on the liberal Democratic president. Lest he is losing his mind, Obama kept our forces miles away from Libya when people over there waged a civil war to topple Muamar Gadhafi. Many Republican Senators and Congressmen including John McCain had advocated sending troops to Libya. But Obama very cleverly avoided the direct involvement. Historically, Republicans take the nation to war. And the "Liberal" Democrats end the war. Examples are aplenty. The Korean War was ushered in by Dwight Eisenhower; Nixon escalated the Vietnam War by bombing Cambodia and Laos even though he did not start that War. I won't even mention GWB and RC's tireless effort to start 2 wars in Western Asia during 2001 and 2003. Dr. Roy should not be so trigger happy to post his comments in this forum. The more he opens his mouth, the more he reveals his ignorance and shallow mindedness about world affairs. Let us all agree that it is a sad day for the world. Needlessly, a diplomat had to lose his life.

Dr. Kamal Das, you should stop this nonsense. You are completely off-track with this topic. I understand you have read a book about sexual encounter. What I cannot understand is why you are considering that book as the final revelation on this matter. It will be insanity to say that this woman has tacit approval of being raped by this man multiple times. You should dump that book and snap out of this insanity. Why don't you take a break for a few days, and then come back to this forum.
I don't understand - why it is so difficult for you to understand that this lady belongs to a very conservative society, where a female rape victim needs 4 witnesses to prove her rape allegation. She knows that she can't prove the allegation. Do you understand what would have happened to her if she would go public and couldn't prove the allegation? She would either be humiliated in public or divorced or flogged in public or stoned to death based on how conservative the society is. My guess is - she may have threatened him a few times, but it did not stop the man. So, she went to the extreme. This man must have driven her to insanity; he has definitely ruined her life and her family. I congratulate her for her bravery.

Normally a dissertation is just a little twist or an inch of advancement from what has been done in a particular field. And quite often, it is even less than that.

Getting back to the starting point of the Turkish woman who beheaded her multiple rapist.  What message would the rapist get, if the victim meets her assaulter repeatedly after the first incidence, or allows him to meet her?  That simple consideration is absent from a few self claimed wise man and one wise woman here.

A Korean student I'm my school used right data but wrong program to end up with findings that did not make sense. His chair only sensed the mistake. The remaining members had the slightest idea about the topic. My friend got Ph. D. When I asked him why he was not trying to publish it. In reply he revealed what I have described above. He is now teaching in Korea. 
Every dissertation is not a dissertation that uncovers very fundamental truth. We may cite de Broglie or Amartya Sen. According to my friend who had a Ph. D from Pennstate that normally a dissertation is just a little twist or an inch of advancement from what has been done in a particular field.

Do you know how scientific papers are anonymously reviewed by two to three referees? You can publish thousands books from your basement but that does not mean you are peer reviewed. Even a scientific review article is not peer reviewed. Most of the time, it is the editor, who looks through it and prints it for the public. It is never too late to learn some hard facts about scientific publication policy of our time! Books are not peer reviewed, period!

I have given the key finding before, and you did not comprehend it.  Peer reviewed scientific study, may be better in your opinion, being foolish enough not to know that no book gets published without being reviewed by peers.  I have published a few scientific papers in the western world myself.  I don't need a lecture from any one like you on matters involving scientific mind who defends murder against rape.  The key finding in that book,  and elsewhere also, is that no male would sustain his erection without signal to trigger it from his counterpart.  Apparently, you don't even have the ability to search the relevant articles on the net, which is easier than looking for it elsewhere.

The book is a short one, would need a little over an hour to read, and is available on the net.  A point proved over hundred pages can not be presented by a few lines.  You seem to lack that comprehension.  You would not find me bright, may be because I am not so, and their might be other reasons too, like you have lost your eyesight if you ever had any.  Their are other observations by reputed authors on the subject of rape or sex(which by the way are very different subjects) between opposite genders.  A classic allegation was made by Julekha against Yusuf/Joseph.  Luckily he could present a shirt to prove that the lady was the real attacker.  Other accused are not so fortunate.

 Any legal means in a patriarchal country like Turkey, where rape is still a family shame and taboo? You have lost your mind. Besides, the lady might need four witnesses to testify about those rapes.
I do not know what kind of professor you are? I do not find you very bright.
If you want to cite some reference, cite some scientific findings and data. An opinion from some psychiatrist is not good enough. Besides, you are throwing a whole book for me to read and find me the answer. Why don't you exactly quote what this man has written? Tell me how he did his experiments? I do not think you are up to that task.

"According to Prof. Das's theory, a second assault would make things totally kosher because the female victim probably initiates that encounter? All of a sudden a victim becomes a predator?"  This is a total misinterpretationIn this case, the 'victim' did not resort to any legal means, she silenced the 'predator' and does not deserve sympathy from any corner.  The real story in a rape case is rarely exposed.  Statistically, more 'rapes' are committed by acquaintances.  If the first few go unreported, the instigation factor can not be ignored.  It is apparent, whose argument is 'silly and stupid'.  If someone does not care a professional psychiatrist or a best seller book, it is his problem, and he should look for a graceful exit before even advising others to do so.

This is what I think. Love-making between two lovers may get affected without female cooperation. This has to do with love and attraction for each other. When female does not cooperate, love and attraction disappear from the scene, and male feels rejection, which may affect his psyche. But, it will not be applicable to a rape, where the male attacker is mentally in a different state of mind; he is looking for sex, nothing else.

Do you think I care who is professor and who is not? Some professorial positions/names do not cut with me, bro  Please put some solid data to prove your point if you care.  Show us some rape simulation data regarding what hormones or chemicals are being induced or secreted from the victims' brains in comparison to a normal intercourse. If you can't, please take a graceful exit from this discussion.

Re: [mukto-mona] Re: Obama vows justice for killed US envoy



"Chinese economic progress started only after relaxing their communist economic/social policies to adopt capitalist economic principles?"

 
Yes, Chinese saw the writings on the wall by watching Soviets wiping their butts with PRABDA (The truth) news paper. Things started to change only after they adopted the market economy. Vietnamese were also clever enough to take the same route. And the effect was instantaneous and remarkable! The contrasts are of course Cuba and North Korea.

Do you understand that Chinese economic progress started only after relaxing their communist economic/social policies to adopt capitalist economic principles? Obviously you don't. I think you need the refresher course on economics before me.
Also, you should take a refresher course on publishing scientific works. I do not think you have that much experience of publishing scientific papers in the reputed international Journals. Otherwise, you would not say that books are peer reviewed publications also. People can write scientific books or review articles based on published knowledge, and usually a friend writes flattering review on the book.  That's not called peer review. You must be losing your mind lately.

"To redistribute wealth, you need force.That is a primitive process, currently the process is progressive taxation and even faster is progressive devaluation of currency.  In last forty years, the dollar, for instance has lost over ninety percent of it's value.  Share market upheavals also work.  Big guys have lost significant chunks of their wealth in course of weeks in recent history.  In lieu of warriors to enforce something, let the economists ruin the rich.  They would the job without a drop of blood shed.

I know that Barak Obama is not going to take the money from the rich. He can't.  American system will not let him. But he is saying so only to please his poor and middle class voter base. That's the point. He is playing Robin-hood just to get their votes. He knows that. Only people don't know - are his blind supporters. Therefore, Barak Obama's anti-rich rant is just a plain deceitful tactics to buy votes. He has no economic record to run with, so, this is the only thing left for him to run on.
By the way, I am happy that Barak Obama is richer than me. He is living the American Dream.

Forgive me for saying so; but I see a "Joe the Plumber" syndrome in Dr. Roy. That guy was arguing with Barak Obama four years back about the possible redistribution of wealth that he hoped to have, but did not have at the time. This is typical of the ignoramuses among the lower middle class Americans who could be fooled by the Republican Party.
 
Talking about 'anti-rich mantra from our beloved President', I have no doubt that Barak Obama is many times richer than Dr. Roy. He certainly is not anti-rich. I have never seen him advocating anything like making a rich person poor. In the world of rich people, he is a bit more decent. That is all. He is not about to give away the riches of himself or of anyone else in his class.

If I understood correctly - the first part of your comments says America is not a land of opportunity for some people, because many people are not working in the field they graduated from. Yet, you are concluding that America is the land of opportunity. What is it?
 
My friend, I am not working in my field of education also, and you will find millions of people, like me, who switch fields every day. It has nothing to do with smartness. How many countries can offer that flexibility? Forget about me, ask yourself - are you better off in America than you would have been in any other countries?
 
Now, let me remind you again, if you have forgotten, real king-maker is the perception in life, not how much money you have. You will probably find – millionaires, who are not happy because they are not billionaires yet. We have a janitor in our department. Whenever I see him, he gives me inspiration. He is always so happy. When I asked him about his secret, he said – "Life is what you make of it." In my view – he is the king in his world. You can be resentful of others' successes or you can make peace with what you have or you can dream for betterment and strive for it. It is up to you. I know it will be hard to understand for those who are getting daily dose of resentment and anti-rich mantra from our beloved President.

About a day or two ago, Dr. Jiten Roy said that he came to America with only $20 in his pocket and the land of opportunity has placed him where he is now. Maybe he now owns $20 million. As far as I know, any student of Physics who came to America for higher studies came with a job (assistantship) in hand. Some students even got the plane fare from the university. But think about the student who came to Dhaka university with 20 taka in hand and graduated with a good degree that helped him come to America. I know many Ph.Ds from good schools in America who are not doing "proper" jobs. I cannot say that those who are not getting jobs despite having good degrees are less smart. 
I hope nobody misunderunderstand me. No doubt this is a land of freedom and opportunities.

There is nobody else with the very same name as mine.  You should very well know where I come from, your origin being the same place.  Being a new convert you are expected to display more loyalty but having your trust in it is a different matter.  If the US-University system is among the great things in your opinion, you are unaware of it's history even sixty years ago.  Even the Ivy Leaguers were way behind the European ones.

I can give hundred reasons why I support other party, but - nobody will change their mind. Then what's the point. So, let's stay away from politics.
 
The other issue you raised is interesting. You said you are staying away from US pressure-cooker society. I am not sure what that means. As far as I know, a substantial part of your life has been spent in the USA; you received higher education here, and worked here until retirement. Now, you feel US society is a pressure-cooker, and you live outside. It will be interesting if you care to explain a bit more on this, because I also think this society is moving away from the traditional values that made this country great. I do not like what I see recently.
 
You said that USA arranged and/or sat back while Japan attacked the Pearl Harbor, so that they can bomb Japan into Stone Age. It is apparent from your statements that – you are a contrarian, and believe in the conspiracy theories. You probably also believe 9/11 was planned by George Bush administration so they can attack Afghanistan and Iraq. My wife told me yesterday – she heard that - the infamous film was funded by middle-eastern money to spark the violence against the USA. All these are a bit nutty to me, to put it mildly. Then again, what do I know about the truth? After all, human-beings are the most dangerous animals on the planet.

You seem overwhelmed with emotion.  I am not a Democratic voter, I do not even reside in that pressure cooker society called the U. S. A.  It's not unlikely for the U. S. agents to pull strings to stage such event as happened in Benghazi to raise the popularity of an incumbent U. S. President in the election year.  Remember, even the Pearl Harbor bombing was allowed to happen.  Hawaii is less an American island than Japanese; Of fifty states, nothing more than thirteen colonies should be legitimately claimed by the U.

Dr. Jiten Roy could do himself a big favor by acquiring knowledge before posting his remarks here in M-M forum. Yes, this is not the first time that a U.S. ambassador was killed in a foreign land by terrorists in the line of duty. Francis E. Meloy, Jr. the U.S. ambassador to Lebanon was assassinated in 1976. There may be another one or two American ambassadors who were killed abroad while serving our nation. And he should not try to blame the killing on the liberal Democratic president. Lest he is losing his mind, Obama kept our forces miles away from Libya when people over there waged a civil war to topple Muamar Gadhafi. Many Republican Senators and Congressmen including John McCain had advocated sending troops to Libya. But Obama very cleverly avoided the direct involvement. Historically, Republicans take the nation to war. And the "Liberal" Democrats end the war. Examples are aplenty. The Korean War was ushered in by Dwight Eisenhower; Nixon escalated the Vietnam War by bombing Cambodia and Laos even though he did not start that War. I won't even mention GWB and RC's tireless effort to start 2 wars in Western Asia during 2001 and 2003. Dr. Roy should not be so trigger happy to post his comments in this forum. The more he opens his mouth, the more he reveals his ignorance and shallow mindedness about world affairs. Let us all agree that it is a sad day for the world. Needlessly, a diplomat had to lose his life.
