Quick everyone run out to a public park and refuse to leave until world peace is restored. You should also bring along all your laptops, tablets, Iphones, etc. This way you can blog about everything your doing and use facebook *like/unlike* to fix the problems. I have it on good authority that our government will take notice of issue posted on facebook when it gets 1 trillion *likes*
Gandhi was non violent but he was anything but peaceful. So if you want to do it like Gandhi then perhaps you should read up on some of what he did. Therefore let me ask you these questions. Are you prepared to stop buying everything? (Ie: no more shopping at all.. For anything) Stop paying taxes? Start learning how to make simple home spun cloth clothes. How about the only food you get to eat is the food you grew yourself or found growing along the side of the road? Are you prepared to get your ass kicked by the police on a daily basis, never lifting a finger in self defense? After getting it kicked are you prepared to go back and ask them to please do it again? Hey are you ready to go on hunger strikes if arrested? And if need be die of starvation? If you can't answer yes to all of those questions than you have no fucking right using Gandhi as the foundation of your argument. Go the public library and read up on just what it was that Gandhi did and didn't do. You would be surprised at just how much he provoked the violence and just how much more it takes to have a "non violent" revolution. So until you learn just what doing it "Gandhi style" really entails... All you will be doing is insulting a dead man.
OR we could just go out armed in numbers and start the war ourselves? Or did you have a better solution than that? Ps - before insulting someone else's statement, you should learn to spell the name of the man in said insult. Aka Gandhi...who was much more peaceful than most of us. Gandhi provoked violence as a statement of peace, in the post you wrote/copied it says he allowed police to beat him and then asked them to do it again afterwards without using self defence - what I get from that is someone saying 'fuck your violence, because it doesnt actually work'...
There should be international revenue sharing. No more countries!!!!!! We could all live the lives that we want, provide and consume goods and services all without money.
Countries are one of the biggest barriers of all!! Eliminate that barrier and war would hopefully cease to exist because you'd just be fighting yourself (which technically is what happens anyway)
Given a choice between cowardice and violence, I'll choose violence. - Gandhi First of all I NEVER advocated violence. In fact I never advocated a single fucking thing. What I did was act like Voltaire and I ridiculed the current popular paradigms. I pointed out using mockery that park squatting with your laptops, tablets, etc is not a solution. I also mocked those that believe that Facebook is going to somehow give them democracy. To this extent I also enjoy ridiculing gun totting fat asses that think because they have 50 shotguns and assorted pistols that they're somehow "free." So let me say what you want to get out of this conversation is what the average american wants from 90% of their conversations. That being to have someone blow sunshine up your ass and reaffirm your opinions. When I was a child I gave up ass kissing for Catholic Lent. But because I'm a jew this action screwed up my life big time. That act alone had caused me to fail "blowing sunshine 101" in college. But I got an undergraduate degree in mockery and ridicule of stupidity. In the end go squat in a park or get violent. Personally, I'll just make sure that I'm no where near wherever the mass ignorant hoards are.
Your affection for violence is rearing its ugly head. You seem to have an unhealthy disdain for parks and an insignificant website. Again, you do not advocate violence?
Am I missing something? All these things sound peaceful to me. Why exactly can't he use Gandhi as the foundation of his argument if he could not answer all these questions with yes? I think he righteously can.
Those things are obviously non-violent. But they're certainly not "peaceful". Because "peaceful" does NOT provoke possible violence and the above list, to say the least, is very provocative. Well now that you have the forumla and you're obviously prepared to take action... So I guess all that remains is for you to get off your ass and go out and do all the things listed. I'll be watching the news to keep on eye on your progress.
Mentioning sitting on one's fat ass. You know what it is they state about those who repeat a statement enough. Exactly what are you doing by sitting on your fat ass, posting on here, informing others to get off their fat asses?
I'm not telling you or anyone else to get off their ass. What I'm doing is mocking and ridiculing the current popular paradigms. Now if something I say hits close to home or leaves a bad taste in your mouth... Well that's your problem and not mine. As for me, I'm not fighting or sticking my neck out for any fat ass. When the shit hits the fant, I'm just going to physically go where ever the mass fat ass hoards are not. There would have to be a massive increase in the collective intelligence and drastic decrease in the collective body fat index of this nation before I would be willing to risk my neck. In short, I see nothing worth either fighting for or getting beaten for in today's United States. Let our entire nation collapse and it's citizens starve to death because of burger shortages. At least cows won't be forced to live in their entire lives in their own shit.
Then what are you still doing here? The only logical excuse, from what you have already stated, is that you stay because you hope for an impossible change. Since the change is so impossible according to you, then should you not have left a long time ago? Go fool, run.
I'm doing the same thing you're doing here and that's .... SWEET FUCK ALL. Just like your commentary, my mockery and ridicule is't going to do a damn thing. But in my situation it gives me material for open mic night. PS. I don't think change is impossible. I just think it's impossible for the majority of americans.
Thing is,the British were semi-civilized. Try Ghandi's methods in the middle east or China and they would last about as long as it took for some maniacs to get to you for immediate elimination/long term incarceration. Didn't watch the video as I'm sure it would have just reinforced my feeling that humans are a sorry lot.
