Dear David,

it is a very subjective thing. From your point of view, it is just a matter of convenience. You take or accept what is convenient to you. People like Meaningful can ne ver agree that that you can definitely find good people everywhere because her mind from her young age is pre-conditioned to a perception. Even if she has experienced good from the nationality she condemns, she will never divulge that because she want to believe, what she like to, no matter even if she is wrong or mistaken and far away from the truth, (now truth here means not Indians are good, but a universal truth that good and bad are everywhere)!

Remember, perceptions are subject to change.
She is supporting and talking in your language , so you second that. there are others in this thread who are talking in a directiion that nobody should be generalized - ref to any nationality or community. Remember david, if you would have used your same comment for some other nationality or community, my replies posted here would apply to that as well

regarding your "we all know" who all does it constitute? All those people who are portraying arrogance and mannerlessness individually?

Then I would be more pleased and privileged even I am alone to voice in a neutral way. Your personal confrontations or incidences are limited to the people whom you are associated in your daily life? A country or a place,or community has got nothing to do with it? If you would have had bad experiences from the people of your own country, I think you would never start a forum saying such things, since the issue is about persons from a different geographical location, you feel that it is your right to make an attempt to sabotage them to cover your disappointment, fear of failure, inabilities, lack of aggression in your tasks and take out your frustration? this way you can attract similar people who are waiting for such opportunities just to criticize other people in the name of voicing their opinion, to show how great they are by letting down others? This is what you call an intelligent debate ?

It is a pity that how intelligence has been perceived, has been linked to nationality, driving, eating, cooking, body stinking as well as pigs, idiots sort of expressions came from an intelligent and highly educated thinker!!!
