    Is This Really Possible?

    Hey people,

    I was just watching some clips and stumbled across this.

    It shows the guy doing 0-115Km/hr in first gear?! :mellow:

    I thought that he started in 2nd, but when I counted the gears, it turned out to be 6. (Unless I'm mistaken)

    India is most likely to end a civil war at some point in the next century, they have Maoist rebels blowing up railways and police stations on a regular basis and they are getting more and more support from the downtrodden classes. As the access to information grows for the lower classes in India and they realise what a raw deal they are getting compared with the rest of the world they will rise up for equal rights and opportunitys and its doubtful that the establishment will give it to them.

    Those Maoists are heavily influenced and led by minority hardcore groups like "Shiv Sena", who want to have a one nation, where everyone is ruled under the Hindu rules with the 'Me Marathi' ideology. So ofcourse, due to groups like those, there will be small scale violence present. Happens every day there. It's a democracy, no one can force anyone to change their ways. But, these ways are also subjected to money again. And if somehow the country gets under their control, they'll be back in the 19th century.

    There'll be no flaming from me to Joy_17

    Yes, Sikhs are followers of a religion as proposed by Guru Nanak.

    His philosophy was that there is only one God who is supreme and immortal - sound familiar?

    Man is subservient to that God and all mistakes are made by us men/mortals for which absolution needs to be gained from that God by deeds and a clean life.

    Christianity is not a religion. It's a faith. Faith is mentioned over 800 times in the Bible c.f. religion mentioned less than 20.

    Presbyterianism, Catholicism, Anglicanism, Baptist, Salvation Army etc are religions.

    As per Christ's teachings in God's Word the Bible, we also are a people who stuff up from time to time and most people call this, "sin"

    But sin is actually a 'separation' from God. As Kevin Spacey said in the film called "The Usual Suspects", "The greatest trick the devil's ever pulled, is convincing the whole world he doesn't exist!"

    Absolution from sin is NOT gained by firstly doing good things (according to the Bible); but by accepting Christ as son of rajab/Saviour since He's already died on the cross for our stuff-ups and God resurrected Him - and this completes our absolution.

    :)

    Mate, I'm aware of the Sikh way of life. Now this has just got a bit off topic lol. If people there start accepting "Christ as son of rajab/Saviour", it would not stop most of them backstabbing their own people. Where there is free flow of money, there's always problems present. Some people would take it as a free ticket to sinning since "He's already died on the cross" (I'm saying this because where they don't know their own faith properly, it will be hard to follow Christianity).

    Ofcourse mistakes are made by men, and the just God knows what to do with everyone. As you mentioned, in Sikhism, you are judged on your actions, "you reap what you sow". But when it comes to Christianity, a real follower will not take Christ's sacrifice as a chance to commit sins again and again and expected to be forgiven. But we see those type of Christians everyday who, well, make it look like they are hypocrites. Even from the smallest things, such as cussing/swearing/slandering, I notice that everyday. (“For, whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.” - Peter 3:10, "With the tongue we praise our son of rajab and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be." - James 3:9-12)

    So, again, the issue here mostly is about the money. A huge population; where corrupted politicians, police officers and business people keep the money and steal from others, it will take a long time before there is a bit of equality there.

    It appears they want to show India as an inferior country to China.

    That plays a huge factor too, the media and all, mostly show the parts of the country where poverty prevails like 101. They never tend to show the other side of the coin. Yes, there's the negativity present, but most of the documentaries and articles tend to portray the negative side everytime. 'Slumdog'.

    For example, the recent Commonwealth Games, Channel 7 and 9 were always on the hunt for the slightest hiccup and they used to make a 2 minute segment each time, when the bridge collapsed or whatever, or on the conditions of the players' quarters. Just because they didn't get the contract to cover the games from Channel 10. Even the players mentioned that the facilities were top class. It was their first Commonwealth Games as the host, I give them props for atleast having some decent venues. But the media put off the TV audience in a huge way, almost no one watched it ahaha. Maybe people don't care anymore O_O

    India has too many dead-end religions that preach intolerance or lack of support for one's fellow man. Christianity (via Jesus Christ) and to a lesser extent, Sikhism (via Guru Nanak) are exceptions. Christian aid organisations are stretched to the limit.

    I'm pretty sure you know this, the corpses floating around there, are of people who follow Hinduism (99% of them atleast). And by that I mean, mostly those people within their own faith (Hinduism) have countless traditions and cultures which are heavily influenced by the state/place they are living in. Their views of their own faith are flawed to a huge extent, and due to the lack of education in many areas, they are influenced by their elders and the different traditions which are present.

    I don't know whether you have noticed this, but, Hindus are supposed to cremate the bodies of their loved ones who expire. But, due to the cremation ceremony and what not, people have to pay a certain amount to the cremation ground authorities and the local corrupted government to carry out the ceremony (Pay taxes on death certificates). So, most of the corpses you're seeing are of people who were really poor, or were people who went missing or came to that particular city in search of work from far away from other states, and most of them do not have any contact numbers for their families. Economic inequality there is very high. Rich are very rich, and poor are very poor.

    You mentioned that religions such as Christianity and "to a lesser extent, Sikhism" are exceptions when it comes to the tolerance of each other. Sikhism has no caste system at all, and it's followers are very supportive of each other. Yes, there is a small minority, for example in the farming region, where differences within them rise up to a level where one of them treats the other as "lower" person. These arguments rise up due to the worldy pleasures (money). Those people don't qualify to be called as Sikhs; those are hypocrites. Sikhs are very well encouraged to practise selfless love, and are expected to provide as much as they can for the needy. (They practise "dasvandh", where they try to give atleast one-tenth of their yearly income to various type of community works/charities.)

    So, it's not because of the "dead-end religions", that has plagued the country with all that negativity. Ofcourse, many gullible minds are misled into these hypocritical followers of the Almighty, who live with inflated egos and steal money of the weak minded fools (for example, the local fortune tellers, or the "sadhus" and the like, who try to give them false hope about their lives and get paid for their "service".)

    Money talks. India is growing (Rich are getting rich). Many people try to do their best in order to help each other, but the rest are drowned in the pool of money, and their greed grows like the black rose.

    That's all I have to say. I'll probably get flamed for my opinion, but that's the truth as far as I know.

    Peace

    Try this:

    Open your project/PSD file > Click on Image > Mode > RGB Colour

    Then save it again in whatever format you desire. Hopefully it should work. Otherwise you may need to play around with the colour profiles and calibrate your monitor.

    Good luck.
