Which is why I did not elaborate on Tejal's comment, which did make sense to me in a way. But I humour them nonetheless.<br />They resort to a lot of different but well-defined methods actually whenever they cannot argue. I think chetan made a long comment listing all their strategies.Madhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644775431982631751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885412.post-85741332040359477612006-10-19T02:18:00.000+05:302006-10-19T02:18:00.000+05:30A mall in Mumbai said only those with credit cards...A mall in Mumbai said only those with credit cards could enter it. A public outcry made them change the decision.<br /><br />There are judgements all over the world on whether a pub or inn or such place can be private to the extent of having rules like... not allowing people wearing pink shirts. Such rules have been struck down. <br /><br />A private place like home, and a private place like a pub, are two different things. Both are governed by different sets of laws enacted by the state. If Aadisht Khanna does not like these laws he can do whatever he wants to with his beleagured arsehole!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885412.post-84241549414457215132006-10-19T02:16:00.000+05:302006-10-19T02:16:00.000+05:30Madhat, Do you really think you can make cartellia...Madhat, Do you really think you can make cartellian see logic. They are cartellians because they lack logic. Don't fall into the trap of spelling and grammar corrections. This may be valid because the mistake was in the tags.

Now, if you equate restaurants to your bathroom, does this logically imply that the government does not want you to smoke in your <i>private space</i>?<br />The problem with asinine people like Aadisht is that they simplify everything and construct analogies that are simply <b><em>wrong</em></b>!
