[QUOTE="dalsingh, post: 51616, member: 2883"] Look, I'm not for minute saying that all Sikh girls are dumb. I've met so many that are loyal to their roots and are an asset to the quam. What I am saying is that certain girls are acting in a stupid way by involving themselves with guys that obviously hate Sikhs and that use the girls to make some sort of pathetic strike at the panth. It isn't right to try and blame guys for all of the woes that befall the community. People have to take responsibility for their own actions in the end. I agree that as a community we could do a better job of imparting our heritage and a Sikh worldview to our youth. This is something I've always tried to do and promoted. What more should I do? I was never taught more than the basics from my family, I had to learn the rest myself, sometimes at odds with what was being taught by my elders. You are right in saying that Sikh guys should spend more time at the gym, alot that I know do. Others hide behind their own version of spirituality and avoid anything physically risky behind this, I think this is plain cowardice as well as blantantly against Khalsa philosophy. In the end you shouldn't be trying to push your views on me Amandeep, you are just adding to the problem by pushing your "western feminist" views around. i.e. blaming men for everything. Sikh women have to take responsibility for their actions themselves. Instead like Amandep they blame the stupid actions of some females on guys. Besides If they don't raise sons that are strong, brave and proactive then they are just as guilty as the guys who are too scared to protect their sisters. Anyway, plenty of Sikh guys I know aren't that way at all so...... Very true, but in our parents time they had no choice about who they ended up with generally so I can understand why some of them ended up with abusive husbands. When girls go out and choose an idiot like this of their own free will........plain old dumb to me..... Lets not argue any more. I just made some points because it is somewhat annoying to see what is going on. Sikh men, with all of their faults (and I would agree that there may be many), have still made a generally good reputation for themselves wherever they have landed. As soldiers, citizens, construction workers they are generally a positive force wherever they go. Most nations in the west with a sizable Sikh population recognise this in some way. The Sikh mans hard work ethic has taken him a long way. But you are right in your analysis MKAUR - more education is needed. But lack of cultural awareness still isn't an excuse for sluttish sell out behaviour that SOME girls exhibit, bringing the rest of us down. Don't defend it Amandeep, condemn it. [/QUOTE]
