Attributing a religion to a person
-
Its just stereotyping. Even though I know an Indian who is Zoroastrian, the default answer for "What religion are Indians" is Hindu I suppose. What do you assume about me knowing I am from Australia? :) -- David Wengier Sonork ID: 100.14177 - Ch00k

"Yes you are a hypocrite. But most christians are. Examples: sex before marriage, being good humans, stealing movies while critisizing Hindus for stealing software." ---Martin Marvinski I wonder why people simply insist on thinking that I am a Hindu, just because I am from India.

I find that most people are hypocrites. What is important to one type of personality is not to another. We have not even addressed cultural differences. So what I dismiss as unimportant is a major lack of sensitivity to someone else. Now I find the sentence more about Christians than implying you are Hindu. However since it capitalized Hindu and not Christian at least more respect was given to the Hindu religion even if it does not apply to you. Was this deliberate or just fast typing?? Since Hindu is a major religion in India (At least I think it is, I have never been there, those Hollywood movies are correct aren't they?:-O ) it may be also paying respect to India.

Then again does someone from Australia consider the North Pole the top or buttom of the world? In which case it may be on top! I did find this site though: http://www.infoplease.com/countries.html

The majority of the citizens in India are Hindus. I did not even imply that you are a Hindu. Becuase most Indians cannot afford software becuase of the exchange rates( according to you), and that the majority of the citizens are Hindu, it leads me to conclude that they have no alternative but to steal software(you also made that point). Becuase most people in India are Hindus, and most software is pirated in India, my statement is quite accurate. BTW why are you insulted? Is it bad to be a Hindu? Anyway, Indian citizens aren't the only ones who use pirated software. China has over a 90% piracy rate.
