M.Dancer Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 You think it's silly to respect an idealistic dream even though it may not be realistic? It's not as silly as respecting war but being afraid to take part in it. Never mind..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Dancer Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) I think your both forgetting that pacifism did work...Gandhi was successful. His methods worked. A few points 1) The movie version of history romantisised the events. The pacific aspect was not the deciding factor. 2) Any other nation except Britain and India would still be a colony. 3) The extent of how little the pacifism actually worked is seen immediately after partition where upwards to million Indians (Muslim and Hindu) killed each other. 4) India was one of the first places on earth where anti terrorism legislation was introduced, in 1915.

AngusThermopyle Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 not enough people willing to smoke a doob and have a naked group hug. Hey! I'm all for that any day of the week, so long as I don't have to nakedly hug men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
