    Refusal to pay for apps/software

    interesting point. :) But, it's not one kid we are talking about here. Consider this.. 42% of ALL candies are stolen. 75% of all kids have stolen at least one candy. and that has a significant impact. About the paying capacity, I have seen people installing pirated $0.99 apps on their fully...

    Refusal to pay for apps/software

    ..because there are real people behind it. They spend real time developing it. They have real bills to pay every month. You might wanna add to the candy shop scenario that the owner is selling only the copies in the store. There's only one original candy somewhere in the locker. The price you...

    Refusal to pay for apps/software

    [/COLOR]It was in USA So, you're telling me it's ok for a guy to break into a car showroom and steal the latest BMW's and claim that "one can't expect me to pay 5000000 for a car", "they should be sold for 1000000 or less" "we do not live in a rich country"?? Do you think it's right? If...

    Refusal to pay for apps/software

    I think it's a multi level problem. Lack of regard of Intellectual Property in the end user's mind being the most unfortunate one. Unofficial PC owners: Obviously a major part of the problem. These machines have no warranty, no stability and no legit software. Their target: non tech savvy...

    Doctors in India? What is your views?

    I used the term "experienced doctors" in context with people's perception of a good medical institution. I never said it was a fact. It is what some people believe. Please read it again.

    Doctors in India? What is your views?

    I see multiple debates on this thread. Debate #1: Medical service is one of the most noble professions. However, with rising population and greed, some crooks have tainted this profession. Some doctors(with probably fake degree) do everything to make money out of people's misery. This is very...

    [Discussion]What should be the ideal punishment for rapists?

    that's a very valid argument. The laws are tough and they are implemented very aggressively. But sometimes things get pushed a bit too far. (Public urination might qualify for a sex offence) However, these laws are enough to keep a good number of people on the right path. These people are not...

    Are We (Indians) Racists ?

    I think i should take my previous statement back. there are more than a billion people in the country. I dont think anyone can represent the views of entire population. Similarly, most of us have not seen all the countries of the world, so we really cant say anything about them either. Are we...

    [Discussion]What should be the ideal punishment for rapists?

    I agree with most of the members here. We cant take the extreme approach. As far as punishment is concerned, it will not go beyond a proper death sentence. Laws can never be extreme. A law is not just about punishing the guilty, it's also about protecting the innocent. I observed crime...

    Are We (Indians) Racists ?

    I think we are racists. Think about this: How do we behave with international students in india? There was a student in my school from Africa. People bullied the hell out of him. Even in good engineering colleges across the country, students, faculty, and general public don't treat international...

    [Discussion]What should be the ideal punishment for rapists?

    In the wake of the tragic death of the gang rape victim, I have been asking a lot of questions to myself. I am a brother, a friend, a son, and in the future, I will be a husband and a father. Unfortunately, I am increasingly getting unsure of safety of women in India. For centuries, we have...
