    Far East has a lot of hookers, (some of them men but you'd think they are women). But those Malaysian Sikhs are pulling your leg and you fell for it!??

    I have a few dear uncles who do that. The East African being educated and higher up the social hierarchy understood the system far better than the rural Sikhs.

    Atheism is really Marxism. Which is basically the 4th Abrahamic religion.

    Yes you are correct on rural Sikhs less likely keep kesh. But a lot of the East African Sikhs also cut their kesh and wear their paghs on top and have 5 o'clock shadow.
  5. Ranjeet01
    There are plenty Urban Sikhs that there kesh too. It was the East African Sikhs that brought the trimmed beard and turban into the UK.

    Communities can be paradoxical. These paradoxes are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The educated East African Sikhs who spearheaded campaigns can also do other things that contradict this. Conversely, this can be said about Rural Sikhs from Punjab. Life is not always black and white, there are shades of grey.

    You see a similar mentality of people who came from Delhi (Urban) who moved to UK back in the 1960's. It is the more Urban types (Malaysians and East Africans are more urban in their thinking) who pick up these kind of behaviours and the rural types that follow after. This is because the Urbanites have more of an open-ness to these behaviours (probably because it is associated with being modern and progressive), whereas the rural were probably more "narrow minded" and more resistant to this (this is seen as being backward and pendu). The Sikhs who came from these Urban areas had far closer relations to Hindus, particularly Urban Hindus and I think they are far more influenced by them. Urban Hindus are probably the most corrupting influence. I have HP friends and aquaintances, but when I look at their community, there is a level of dysfunction we as Punjabi Sikhs don't have (though we do have our own dysfunctions). There is the chain of bad behaviour: Gora >> Urban Hindus >> Urban Sikhs >> Rural Sikhs

    Just another note, it is not only the Generation X, it is also the latter end of the Boomer generation that is impacted by this. It was the latter Boomers were it started from and these aren't always people who came from Punjab. Some of these guys are from East Africa, Singapore/Malaysia.

    These parents tried to make it up with their kids by buying them stuff and giving them money. They are going to use the money to buy drugs. What these kids needed from their parents was time.

    I know of a few of these guys of this age group. They were older than me and I remember what these guys were like in their teens and early twenties. I see these same guys at nagar kirtan decades later and they are maybe greyer and some of them are balder,but they act the same way, they are stagnant.

    The Gen X kids are latch key kids. This is the generation of kids who were left home alone at very young age whilst parents went to work with only sweets and biscuits for food. They were neglected by their parents.
  12. Ranjeet01
    You would think that the parents of that generation who would have sampled these things in the 80s and 90's in their youth would have enough Street smarts to see the signs and perhaps guide their kids in the right way. Kids tend to pick up the bad habits of the parents before the good habits and therefore the parents lose their moral authority when they try disciplining their kids. That is why it is important that parents set a good example. It should not be a case of "do as I say not as I do". Because otherwise the kids will point it out and you don't have a leg to stand on. However, (I think I probably pointed this out in another thread). This Generation X group of parents (40s and now 50s) have an adolescent mindset, they are stuck in their teens still and have not really matured or grown up mentally. They try to be their children's friends, that probably explain the mother/daughters who go clubbing together. I would say , "NO!! You are not children's friend!!" The minute you try to be their friend, they lose respect for you.

    There may come a time when people get so desensitised that these "acts" would no longer shock and these "artistes " get ignored. The pendulum may shift the other way when people get shocked by clean wholesome stuff.

    I recently find out about this. It is like a subscription site where thirsty men get to spend money to see their favourite porn stars, and other adult entertainers and instagram models etc in nude photos. Apparently these "models" are making a lot of money out of it. What's really funny about this is that there was an actress that created an account as part of research on a film role. She was charging 200 dollars per person to have access of her nude photos. She made a couple of million dollars in a couple of days. However, the subscribers were disappointed with photos as they were not to their satisfaction. So there were a whole load of refund requests which clogged up onlyfans system. This meant all the other porn actresses and "models" weren't getting paid because the system was clogged up. Onlyfans then came out with a new rule that the price for any access should be capped at 50 dollars. The porn actresses and "models" are piss ed at the actress for ruining their livelihood.

    It is something that has bugged me for a while. But I guess it depends on what line of work that they go into. For example, we had relatives that came from Australia and they are doing quite well there. The husband was a trucker and he told me how at first he was working over 100 hours a week. My first thought was "wow", they are on the road a lot and they aren't getting a lot of sleep and that is quite dangerous, especially if you are driving a heavy goods vehicle. However, it was only until I spoke to another relative in Australia that he told me the truth. They sleep in the trucks so actually don't work 100 hours but they probably clock it as 100 hours. So it looks like they just claim loads of overtime. So it looks like they are working much harder than they really are. This is probably expels some of the myths of the hard working immigrant. Just work loads of overtime and pretend to be working hard. Even in the office, people spend over 8 hours a day. They realistically only do 2-3 hours of work, the rest of time is wasted on "breaks", browsing the internet and chatting to colleagues. So it poses another question, how hard do people really work?

    There was an Anthroplogist called David Graeber who has recently passed away. But he wrote a book called "Bullsh!t jobs"in which he claim probably half the jobs are meaningless but combined with a work ethic and work being a sense of self worth creating psychological problems. I have not read the book but it looks interesting. You probably heard of something called "The Protestant Work Ethic" However, I have noticed that our people in Punjab are a work-shy bunch but the minute they go abroad, they suddenly develop this work ethic. To the point some of our people cannot sit down for 5 minutes without them needed something to do. I have realised that there is a difference between being busy and productive. The question I have is do we have our own work ethic? Is there a Sikh Work Ethic?

    This behavior of some women is just way to complex to get my head around, being "friends" but then bringing your friends down! The term for this is frenemies.
  18. Ranjeet01
    The using thing I find very difficult hard thing to grasp. Not everything between people has to be transactional. But there are people like that.

    I am beginning to think there isn't such a thing as female friendship. Back in my student days, there were 4 girls who had their clique. All very close to each other. Many years later, I met 2 of them and I asked them about 1 of the other friends in their group and they said they couldn't stand her. It was quite an eye opener. Then there was another occurence in a place of work. There were 2 female colleagues who become great friends, they hung out together, went to lunch together, holiday etc. Best of friends. Then one of them got a promotion into another department. It was like they never knew each other, the friendship was completely abandoned. Us men relate to each other in very different way to women. Men can insult each other and not mean it and still be friends. Women can be very complimentary to each other and not mean it. Women have the ability to move on from a relationship very quickly like it did not exist. They can discard with great ease. Men find it harder to get over a bad relationship.

    My views are based on observations and facts. Female nature is female nature and it will remain the same in the past, present or future. This is not saying that the female is good or bad, it is just accepting a woman for what she is. These behaviours are hardwired. Women get attention wherever they can. However, they get better attention in male groups than in groups with other women. A less attractive girl who does not get a look in with a group of more attractive girls do move in with a male group. You see this in the video gaming community. Where these girls are hanging out with nerds and geeks. You see this dynamic reflected to a degree in the "Big Bang Theory" sit com. If anything Instagram has amplified certain women's behaviour. What is also does is enable a very nice income to be earned by becoming an instagram model.

    Never knew Haryanvis ventured out of India.

    In regards to a male saheli. Girls have boyfriends and girlfriends. If you are male saheli, you are her girlfriend.

    The type of women who like to hang around groups of guys know that they will get attention that they won't get hanging around other women. There is a pecking order with women based on who is the prettiest and who is the slimmest. Have you ever noticed that prettier and slimmer girls tend to have chubbier friends? It is to make themselves look good. Attention is the coin of the realm in girl world.

    "However, if she's still talking to her ex or other guys, then that's where you need to speak out. No compromise. " When a woman like this has kept contact with ex and other guys, what this means is that she has orbiters. It means that she maybe not serious about her marriage and has these guys as a back up plan. It is said that you should be wary of women that have only male friends and no female friends.

    ". His parents kept pressuring him into it because the females from a "good family" . This part always eludes me. Just because someone is from a good family does not always mean that person is good. Also what is meant by "good".
