BBC News – India textbook says meat-eaters lie and commit sex crimes
So, do the bacon eaters want to get together and start a class representative action to sue the publishers arse off?
Ugh. If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s lies being published in textbooks. Especially in this day and age a lot of people will believe something if it’s in a book, with extra points if it’s a textbook. Things like this should definitely be disallowed. Then again, given that astrology is an official science there I can’t be entirely surprised. I feel sorry for the learned individuals who have to put up with that sort of thing there.

I would do, but I’ve got lies to tell and sex crimes to commit, sorry!
From the country that still has arranged marriages and sell their children for dowries and status
I believe I heard of a study several years that claimed to have proved that red meat eaters were more aggressive and competitive, not sure how accurate that was.

Bet you a tenner I can chin whoever made that study!
Well, there have been comparative studies on aggression between Caucasian and Chinese Americans (both groups had Christian upbringing).
The Caucasians were much more confrontational and tended to be more aggressive, although it was a tendency, not true of all individuals.

Would not make sense. The dowery is money presented with a bride (never a male). So you couldn’t sell children for a dowery.
You could (theoretically) sell a child into prostitution in Thailand and use the money to pay a dowery on another female child.
Indians tend to just strangle the extra female children. It’s going to lead to a lot more sex crimes, in my opinion. And for those who want to sue me – tough. Official statistics on births and child mortality in India show that little girls are being killed to avoid the “problem” of no dowery.

Thing is even if your religious upbringing is the same your cultural upbringing won’t be.
i saw a doc on eskimos and they looked quite active to me… maybe an entertaining doc would be ‘indian goes to live as an eskimo eating only veg’
Maybe they have a point. I eat meat every day and I lie, take illicit chemicals and am a sexual deviant!
