Current mood:

contemplative

of school videos
So India is agog with excitement about the Delhi school scandal ---
there have been many arrests -- starting off with an IIT maverick and
ending (?) with the CEO of bazee.com, including some people who bought
the clip in the middle .

Well I firmly believe it is action gone too far --- so there was
consensual act of intimacy between the 2 teens and things got out of
hand and the clip started circulating --- effectively destroying the
lives of those 2 kids ---

but the way India is reacting now --- it seems that they are more
interested in burying evidence of the act rather than perhaps attack
at the root of the issue --- among these flurry of arrests we seem to
be losing sight of the original issue of relations pre - adulthood.

It is almost as if India does not want to acknowledge that this is
reality and such incidents are pretty frequent ( this one had the bad
luck of coming out in the open)

interesting, really the way the topic is treated as a whole in the
society --- for all the reluctance to discuss the topic - India has a
rather high population rate --- maybe they would like to believe that
babies come when you roll around a temple 108 times (?)

The point is this is nothing new -- it has happened in the past -- it
will happen in the future --- we should accept it and perhaps educate
youngsters about the possible dangers of getting into early relations
-- after that the decision is theirs --- but if they do decide to go
ahead then they will face the consequences ---
if they feel they are old enough for this, they are also old enough to
accept responsibility --
and no one has any business arresting people left and right ----

the attitude displayed by the people reminds me of this anecdote I
read about an ostrich -- whenever the ostrich feels threatened -- it
dosent run -- it buries its head in the sand -- so that it cant see
the danger ---
