And if we have any Hindu folks on this board, I probably offended them. Too ****ing bad, Ghandi is an idiot.

Ghandi is an idiot!?

Are you learning disabled?

Ghandi defeated the ****ing british empire without killing anybody. He won and he didn't have to bring harm to anyone.

Ghandi is a genius. Now I'll let you off the hook because I doubt you even know what you're talking about. But anyone who can beat an empire without bringing harm to anyone is definently smarter than an american soldier who thinks shooting people will make everything better.

He didn't bring harm to anyone? He got hundreds of his followers killed because they were too stupid to realize what they were doing and just stood there while they got shot. Any smart individual would shoot back. Hell, the dumbass got shot himself.

And the British were obviously willing to leave, otherwise they would've stayed and laughed at Ghadi some more. No one forced them out, no one was going to do anything if Britain decided not to leave. So obviously they were willing to go, and if not, if I was ruling India, Ghandi would've accomplished nothing. The only difference is I would've shot him, and not let some random guy pop his ass in the street.

Now let me explain something to you, 228 years ago Americans went to war with guns, and we are still a free country today. A half-century ago, India was freed from British rule non-violently, and since then the country has seen religious war and has been on the brink of nuclear war. Good job Ghandi! You really got your message across.

Wow Gekko. You astound me.

It's not becasue of Ghandi that India has religious wars. They've always had them.

And Ghandi believed in freedom but not killing others. So did his followers. And they were willing to support their beliefs even if it meant their own deaths. That's called bravery, not stupidity.

So, if you think somebody is stupid for not killing someone else, I feel that you are stupid for thinking that the only solution to a problem is killing. Ghandi sure didn't believe that.

I just think logically. If we all listened to Ghandi, I could take over the world. And I would too, just to prove Ghandi is an idiot.

[Dylflon]

Weak response.

You could not take over the world if everyone thought the same as Ghandi either. But if everyone thought like Ghandi we'd have world peace.

All you seem to be claiming is that if you're in an argument, it's better to punch the other person than to solve the problem verbally.

Stupidity runs rampant in your post. Actually, lately, it has run rampant in all of your posts.

I totally agree with Dylflon on this. Ghandi did what he believed in, and the people who followed him did what they believe in. They got the British out, one way or the other, and they did it the right way. They stood up for what they believed in, through thick and thin, and they got what they wanted. it worked. The fact that it worked should be evidence enough to disproove everything you are saying, no?

So what should I do? Next time someone gets on my nerves, are you saying I should beat him to a bloody pulp instead of trying to work things out, or better yet, just ignoring the person? Thats the dumbest logic Ive ever heard.

Good job, and here, take some negative repeth.

If someone has a gun, shoot first. If someone's talking ****, do whatever the hell you want. But if someone has a gun and you try to talk it out, sucks to be you.

[Dylflon]

Well...it's too bad you prefer killing over talking.

Actually, the religious tension between India and Pakistan is because when Britain left, they created the two countries. The moved all of the Mulsims to Pakistan, and left the Hindus in India. Ghandi wanted everybody to live together in one unified country, but Britain ****ed it up. Kind of similar to the Israel/Palestine problems.
