i was thinking about the hindu caste system and their disdain for the
untouchable class
that is just silly
have you ever tried to study hinduism
all hindus are untouchable
unreachable for reality
far beyond normal practicality
what are those people trying to accomplish with their transcendence?
where are they going with that ball they've been holding for thousands
of years now
shouldn't they be scoring a point soon?
it's worse than a soccer game
1 to 0, the game was a shutout
