How about the Tiananmen Square protests? That's pretty sad.

Ghandi freed India from the British control, and not only did he did that, he empowered the people in such a way to ensure that they will always be motivated to ensure that they stay independent. He freed them not only for that one time, but for as long as they remember him, which will be for hundreds of years still.


Lets see war do that.
War, while sometimes is the only option, is messy, dirty, dark, sad. It does not have the same feeling as what Ghandi did.



Dude, home-boy Xenonight has been here longer than nearly everyone else.
Respect the Pink. ;P

No, I just post what I want.

Whether it's like Jester or not is either coincidence or perception. And I've been making posts like that for years, long before Jester popped up. If anything, Jester is a wannabe of me, but Jester is a cool dude and that could be taken negatively so I won't say that.

Yeah man... if I could meet Martin Luther King Jr. or Gandhi... man... it's too bad they all died early deaths by being assassinated.

Let's see what great, amazing people else died a premature death by guns:
Gandhi
Martin Luther King Jr.
John F. Kennedy
Benazir(sp?) Bhutto (though I heard she may have been killed by hitting her head on the moon-roof while trying to retreat from the gunfire?

Uhh, and I can't think of any others right now.

@Abysmal - Yeah, the tragedy of Tiananmen Square was sad. I believe that the Chinese government back then was power hungry, paranoid, and irrational. However, we could sit here all day mentioning sad things that happened, and innocent lives taken. Various genocides, such as Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and, of course, the Jewish, left millions upon millions dead.

How many Nobel Prize winners could have been in the 11 million Jews who died form Hitler's rampage alone? 3? Maybe 4?

How many people, in all of the genocides combined, would have grown up to make amazing contributions to our society? Cure for cancer? HIV? Diabetes?

It's all very sad, that some humans are just so evil towards others, sometimes for no reason at all.

Finally, I'll end on this note. Hitler promoted the Scandinavian look - blonde hair, blue eyes - but he had brown hair, green eyes (I believe, maybe brown?) and he was part Jewish.

yeah but thats like saying, to promote classical music you have to be able to compose a symphony yourself.

i agree with what ronin said, theres no such thing as "the only option". its just certain options become more preferable to any other outcome.

Actually, they think he might be. There isn't enough evidence.
Thats only a thought for right now.
It seems most people don't even know why Hitler did what he did.
It was because when he wa a soldier, he saw Jewish people protesting agenst WWI which he fought in and insulting it, and that built up hate till it expolded.

My family sufferd through Hitler, bu I'm not Jewish. My grandmothers father was FORCED into the German army, because they poisend his dog, and then threated to do it to his family. He was an engineer, and after saving the life of a Russian, he was later on captured and when he was captured, he met the russian he saved, and he let my great-grandfather go, but he died on the train-ride home. He lost his fingers in the mine. He also lost all his brothers.

LoL My great-grandma gut arrested because their teacher told them to hang a picture of hitler on their fireplace, and when my grandma brought it home from school my great-grandma replies "Oh good! we need more firewood." and burns Hitler, and then my grandma told her school but my great-grandma said that if they were going to take her, they needed to bring her husband home. and they couldn't because he was important. :/

Eventually my grandma's parents gave her to an American, to get her out of the ruined country. (I have a lot of storys of american/british air-raids almost killing them.)And he turned out to steal her things and sell them to pawn shops and ect. they had two kids, and my grandfather helped kick my grandmothers husband at the time out of their house, and then my grandparents got married and had three kids. And I forgot why I typed all this.........
