You dig deep enough into any of your hero’s, you find humans.
yes, he reportedly had sex and racist issues
Today is my 65th birthday. I share it with Ghandi and Tiffany. Quite a diverse group...lol
Morgan Freeman doesn’t see anything wrong with sleeping naked with a granddaughter.
Penn and Teller covered this over a decade ago. Caused me to do a lot of research. I have no respect for the man.
They did it to Mother Teresa too.
Question: Who helped more people: Mother Teresa or Steve jobs?
An excerpt from the link at Jewish Virtual Library provided in the answer below:
"If I were a Jew and were born in Germany and earned my livelihood there, I would claim Germany as my home even as the tallest gentile German may, and challenge him to shoot me or cast me in the dungeon; I would refuse to be expelled or to submit to discriminating treatment. And for doing this, I should not wait for the fellow Jews to join me in civil resistance but would have confidence that in the end the rest are bound to follow my example. If one Jew or all the Jews were to accept the prescription here offered, he or they cannot be worse off than now. And suffering voluntarily undergone will bring them an inner strength and joy which no number of resolutions of sympathy passed in the world outside Germany can. Indeed, even if Britain, France and America were to declare hostilities against Germany, they can bring no inner joy, no inner strength. The calculated violence of Hitler may even result in a general massacre of the Jews by way of his first answer to the declaration of such hostilities. But if the Jewish mind could be prepared for voluntary suffering, even the massacre I have imagined could be turned into a day of thanksgiving and joy that Jehovah had wrought deliverance of the race even at the hands of the tyrant. For to the godfearing, death has no terror. It is a joyful sleep to be followed by a waking that would be all the more refreshing for the long sleep." (1938) ‘The Jews’ by Gandhi 1k views
Gandhi, a pedophile who loved to use a special tarp he carried everywhere to roll in his own crap. Wonderful.
I understand that Anheuser Busch is dropping their sponsorship.
Just now? Remember when the movie of his life came out and he was guaranteed movie sainthood? Some writers exposed the real Gandhi in various books at that time.
Odd that NPR did not address the Ghandi- Hitler pen pal connection?
I guess they just ran out of space in the article?
I had a teacher who once asked: what if Ghandi faced the Chinese or Russian rulers, instead of declining British ones who had just gone through WWII?
The same guy who wanted us to lay down our weapons and surrender to the Nazi’s?
