One of the best things about India is that as a woman, it is really safe to walk the streets.

quote:

Oh but I heard that there were a lot of rapes?

Think again, the chance of getting raped in the USA is actually 14.6 times higher. You don't believe me? How about some official statistics then...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#India

"Adjusted for population growth over time, the annual rape rate in India has increased from 1.9 to 2.0 per 100,000 people over 2008-2012 period, which is quite low. This compares to a reported rape rate of 1.2 per 100,000 in Japan, 3.6 per 100,000 in Morocco, 4.6 rapes per 100,000 in Bahrain, 12.3 per 100,000 in Mexico, 24.1 per 100,000 in United Kingdom, 28.6 per 100,000 in United States, 66.5 per 100,000 in Sweden, and world's highest rate of 114.9 rapes per 100,000 in South Africa."

quote:

Oh boy do I ever have egg on my face I'll make sure I never make fun of India again with regards to rape!

That's OK everyone seems to be making the same mistake before checking actual facts but yeah, this is not a subject that is up for debate or discussion so don't even try because I've just proven you wrong and you'd be wasting your time. Next time maybe look at your own backyard first though before rushing to judgement?

quote:

Will do! Hey I heard that working conditions were kind of bad though?

Not at all. India has the tenth largest GDP as well as being the 19th largest exporter and 10th largest importer in the whole wide world. Tell me something. Does this lady look unhappy?



Of course not, and why would she. She's picking a lovely lot of Darjeeling tea for you to enjoy and I'm sure she's smiling because she's working outside in the sunshine with her friends and getting a fair wage to do so. Think about that next time you have a cuppa.

quote:

You've made a convincing argument there. What about entertainment? I bet the movies are really dull and unexciting, can't be anything as good as the latest Jason Stratham flick.

Oh I guess you never heard of a little place called Bollywood?











quote:

Oh OK this place is sounding pretty great so far. I also heard it was kinda spiritual?

You heard right. It's pretty much the spiritual capital of the world and it has a river (the Ganges) that has actual healing properties. Go on a pilgramage there and you'll probably run into an assortment of pretty amazing gurus too, like this guy who can lift another guy up using only his penis.

:nws:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT-hVj6Pxtc:nws:

Pretty cool right, can you do that? I bet you can't! And finally, let's not forget the food.

quote:

Oh... yeah I heard about that it makes you need to go to the toilet.

Tell me something, what is it that you think happens with food do you think it just stays there inside of you? You eat food and it comes out the other end when you use the toilet and that's pretty much all there is to it whether you're in India or anywhere else it's just a scientific fact. Anyway I'll have one chicken tikka masala please. With a couple a garlic naan.



So yeah I guess the point is that when you think about it India is pretty amazing. Post things you love about India ITT.

Are you not familiar with the concept that exposing yourself to bacteria is the best way to build up an immunity and live a long, healthy life? This man's name is Mahashta Mūrasi, he's a retired cobbler from northern India and he claims to be 179 years old. Makes you think.

Makes me think I'd rather be dead than be 179 and look like a crusty turd on an Indian street.

Please show me an animal in the animal kingdom other than a human that uses toilet paper. Oh that's right it doesn't happen. So what's wrong with humans that they have to use soft paper to remove feces from their bums when other animals manage just fine? That's the more pertinent question but thanks for playing anyway.

If you report rape, you get ostracized/shunned/raped. Rape is woefully underreported.

India truly is a shithole.

Also, India's GDP per capita was more than China's in 1990. Now it's 1/4th of China's. Good job you inefficient fucks.

Question : when an Indian woman is raped by ten guys, then she goes to the police to report it and they rape her, does that count as two reported rapes or twelve orzero?

Follow up question: if one billion indian people gang rape two girls and then no one else gets raped that year, does that mean india only has a 2 in a billion reported rape rate, making it the lowest in the world?

My cousin went there as an ambassador. She liked it, but there were many US marines protecting her. She also thought Pakistan was a nice place.
