No not babbling just speaking from personal experience. I guess you have been a big supporter of boontards shit posts since you have rallied to his side of late. I don't watch fox news nor would I ever. I never babble but do have a habit of posting drunk but not always. Such is life.

Anyone notice the indians are getting a lot more uppity of late?
Incensed by this, outraged by that...

I have to agree in this case, they probably learned the caste system from watching Upstairs Downstairs.

Aren't there plemty of unemployed Americans ?

I used to go to USA every few years for holidays , but not for 10 years since they started fingerprinting tourists on arrival.

No idea what you're talking about as far as rallying to Boon Mee's point of view, as I never post opinions on anything any of you Americans write about US politics, which bore me stiff and have absolutely nothing to do with me.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, based as it is on having once dated an Indian.

That and experiences with coworkers. The girls father proclaimed me a white prince and was shocked that I polished my own shoes.

They import maids from their home country so they can hold their passports, pay them next to nothing, work them 16 hours a day seven days a week, and beat them if they complain. That's why.

Beat me to it.

she was getting paid $3-50 an hour.
and xpected to work 16 hrs a day
8 days a week.

^And if you believe she was actually getting paid $3.50 an hour, or anything close to it when domestic servants in India make, at best, $100 a month, I've got a bridge to sell you......

If a citizen can be searched why the hell not everyone else?? Weather good or bad strip the bitch

Anyway, for revenge she can strip search me.

While I don't have any sympathy for her, how did they justify a strip search?

Perhaps she was rude and condescending in a certain way that perhaps only an Indian female diplomat could be, and pissed the police off?

Or just plain sexy, with attitood?

Was she bent over with her panties to her knees?...Because that would be so...erm...pink...

She was arrested on a felony, the strip search is just part of the processing before you go into holding. SOP.

THE United States has voiced regret to India over the treatment of a diplomat whose account of being stripped and cavity-searched triggered outrage.
With New Delhi vowing to "restore the dignity" of diplomat Devyani Khobragade, Indian media reported that the 39-year-old was being moved from her post as deputy consul general in New York to the UN mission in a bid to thwart her prosecution.
As India retaliated against American diplomats in the usually US-friendly country, Secretary of State John Kerry tried to end the row in a telephone call to India's national security adviser Shivshankar Menon.
"As a father of two daughters about the same age as Devyani Khobragade, the secretary empathises with the sensitivities we are hearing from India about the events that unfolded after Ms Khobragade's arrest," a State Department statement said.
Speaking to Menon, Kerry "expressed his regret, as well as his concern that we not allow this unfortunate public issue to hurt our close and vital relationship with India," it said.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said it was "particularly important to Secretary Kerry that foreign diplomats serving in the United States are accorded respect and dignity just as we expect our own diplomats should receive overseas."
The White House also tried to quell the rift, with spokesman Jay Carney saying that "this isolated episode is not indicative of the close and mutually respectful ties that we share."
Khobragade was arrested on December 12 in New York for allegedly paying a domestic worker a fraction of the minimum wage and for lying about the employee's salary in a visa application.
She is free on bail.
The fury in India grew on Wednesday after an email from Khobragade in which the diplomat said she had been repeatedly stripped and cavity-searched by the US authorities after her detention.
"I must admit that I broke down many times as the indignities of repeated handcuffing, stripping and cavity searches, swabbing, in a hold-up with common criminals and drug addicts were all being imposed upon me despite my incessant assertions of immunity," she said in the email.
"I got the strength to regain composure and remain dignified, thinking that I must represent all of my colleagues and my country with confidence and pride."
The revelation that a diplomat could be subjected to such treatment at the hands of the United States has caused huge offence in a country that sees itself as an emerging world power.
In an address to parliament, Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid said it was his "duty to bring the lady back."
"We have to restore her dignity and I will do it at any cost," he added.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh termed the diplomat's arrest "deplorable" as newspapers hailed his government for a series of reprisal measures.
"India takes on Uncle Sam," read the front-page headline of The Hindustan Times, while the Mail Today splashed with "Bulldozer Diplomacy" on top of a picture of a digger dragging away concrete barricades outside the US embassy on Tuesday.
US consular officials have also been told to return identity cards that speed up travel into and through India. Import clearances for duty free alcohol and other goods have been suspended.
Khobragade is alleged to have paid her worker just $US3.31 ($A3.75) an hour - well below New York's required $US7.25 - despite signing a contract to pay her three times that amount.

I think you should go and wag your finger at them.



Mind you, If I were a US diplomat flying into India right now I think I'd make sure the KY jelly was handy.

As though you don' t always have it handy.

Guilty as charged.

How pathetic. We enforce the law, and then this spineless administration sends that slime Kerry off on bended knee to beg the forgiveness of a bunch of fucking Indians who are upset that the sanctity of Indian womanhood has been violated - despite the fact they rape and murder their women on public transportation for sport.

The decline of America accelerates.............
