do you guys respect people like Ghandhi, Bhutto, Mother Theressa, Nehru and other humanists? yeah, might seem like a stupid qustion but on the other hand I've heard people complain about those people being ''pussies'', and trying to handle the things with words and not the act.

i mostly respect Ghandhi and admire him for his will and struggle against what he believed was the best.

I have mad respect for people who can make such bold statements without using violence.

I have respect for them...but, I can't say it would be MY way of doing things. I don't have the patience for that sort of behavior :P

Cool guy.

anyone who dismisses the achievements of historical icons because they are "pussies" isnt worth arguing with.

i respect people of that calibre for their achievments and views... but i also think violence is sometimes a necessary evil.

For arguments sake I'll say,

Ghandi didn't accomplish jack shit

Syetactic · 02-06-2008, 05:50 PM

When Ghandi didn't fight back and so many of his people died... thats when I didn't like him.

if that actualy happend ( i think you are refering to the split between India and Pakistan, but nvm) then let me tell you that, that was Ghandi's whole point. it wasnt his intentions to kill. if he would fight he would have taken India in no time. he had the backup of the Indians, and thats also why the Indians didnt fight- they believed in him, and with good reasons, we can say today.
