I can't say I care about the subject -- but the legislature shouldn't, either.

Perhaps one of the most surprising, although perhaps predictable, parts to this is that what is known as 'homosex' in India is very common, just as it is in the West.
This ruling is worthy of the WBC.

This is the sort of topic you have to be careful about, lest it become soapbox worthy.
Like others in this thread, I don't really care what other people get up to. I care a bit about what they get up to in public, but I think I'm even handed there too.
But the story (as linked) is that there was a Law X.
A *court* decided that the law was Wrong, and said it was invalid.
A higher court said the lower court was wrong to rule on this, and that the lawmakers (ie, polticians) should fix things, not judges.
It sounds quite reasonable to me. The supreme court did not say the law was good, or bad, simply that it was politicians job to fix it, not judges.
Now, you can argue that the laws existence is bad, and it should be repealed, but that's a different point to the one in the linked story.

Exactly, My issue was that the Suprememe court should have maintained a status quo so that gays cannot be criminally prosecuted and ask Govt to change the law.
When *court* struck down this law 4 years back,many Indians came out of closets. Now they can be terminated from work etc though remote

Well, I'd argue it's the court's job to follow the law as literally as possible, and only use judgment when wording is ambigious - and only strike down laws if they contradict a higher authority (ie, a constitution).
If it were also up to me, I'd make it unconstitutional to add a law to the "Book", without repealing two others. I know both views are naive, sadly.

That however, in general, can depend on many factors including but not limited to the government, the legal system and exactly what the law was.

My mother's hip replacement went out of joint again. She is in a lot of pain, and is currently at the hospital.
This is the second time this has happened.
I guess Murphy's law is in effect here.

Oooo! That's gotta hurt!
Hopefully they can reseat it without another operation, but send her a ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) from us anyway.

That's really a terrible situation. I hope she gets well soon. What is the reason it keeps getting dislodged again and again? Is that the initial surgery itself was wrong or something?

I hope she is better soon.
My mother needs a hip replaced so I hope she does not have that problem.

I know its not uncommon for hip joints to slip out in the so called rehabilitation timeframe but sounds a bit like maybe the replacement joint isn't quite the right size for the hip socket.
This happened to a cousin who ended up having it replaced all over again.

AFAIK, the majority of the IT professionals I know are married or, with the younger ones, in stable relationships. Griff is married AND in a stable relationship. And a field relationship too.

Nope, you keep sheep in a pen, or a barn.
Or if you're lucky, the kitchen.

You also keep a goat in a stable, to keep the horse company.
As early as the 1700s, goats were used as companion animals to help settle race horses, keeping the notoriously skittish animals relaxed. Taking a horse's pet goat away would have agitated and upset the animal, potentially influencing the outcome of a race.
The practice of providing race horses with companion animals is still widespread, with horses bonding with ponies, chickens, dogs, and a variety of other animals in addition to goats. Many horses do indeed become deeply attached to their companions, exhibiting considerable stress when these animals are removed. Someone taking away a companion animal could negatively impact a horse's performance, and such incidents may have inspired the idiom “gets my goat” among observers.
