Yes, I know. I come from a well-off family. My father is nuclear-physicist, my elder brother is an engineer and is working in the U.S and my another brother(who is my twin brother) is a student and has already been recruited by a MNC through campus placement. I have a shop and I am doing well, too. I don't hold grudge against the West for personal reasons. My disdain for the West is more objective than that. |

Zaman said: My disdain for the West is more objective than that. key words: "My disdain" makes what you say about the west not objective but subjective. |

Thanks for sharing about your family and your life. IMHO Zaman, you can't have it both ways..You can't be blessed and enjoy the goodness of the West and then primarily hold disdain for it...there's nothing objective about that - that seems illogical to me. IMHO, logically, you can hold, in some sort of difficult balance, an appreciation for the West for areas of good and a disdain for the West for areas of evil. Would you agree with that?

Trading with the West might not always be unethical. Neither my family nor I beg for anything from the West. We owe to the West just as much it owes to us. Edited by ZamanH |

But you cannot just extract what you wish from the West and imagine that that is that. The goodness that the West offers, freedom, opportunity, education, et al...we owe much more to those that came before us - who have sweat and bled for these things...than they owe to us...in my humble opinion. For you to then use the word "disdain", in light of your experiences shared, is such a harsh judgement on the atmosphere that has been (at least in good part) good to you and your family. True?

Yes, if it were for personal reasons, I would be worshiping the UK and the US. I won't go into the reasons. The list will be quite long. We haven't driven the west out in the cold. The US and UK have done that for themseleves by constantly running and / or sponsoring murder campaigns in the Mid East. As someone said a while ago: "if we just hate the west why don't we hit Sweden"? It is just the US and UK misdeeds that have brought it to this stage. |
