- ehalasey, on 12/01/2007, -4/+34Did you do ANY homework on the pedophilia rumour? All I was able to locate was this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200609 ...
So, what you're saying is . . . because he and his wife were married at 13, meaning he was having sex with a 13 year old when he was the same age, that makes him a pedophile? Seriously. If you're going to make claims on that level, back it up with something. - whiteyMcBrown, on 12/01/2007, -2/+32Gandhi showed India the way to get rid of the British in a way that made it impossible for anyone to call the Indians savages. They took beatings and resisted passively, so no matter how the British government spun it to their own people, the people knew that their own government was the aggressors. The British took salt from the Indian ocean; made it against the law for Indians to get their own country's salt; and then sold that salt to the indians at expensive prices, sending the money back to England. Gandhi lead a march against them, without violence. He did a lot of good for India, South Africa, and for the whole world. The words in the article are wise ones, and I don't know how people can make them into a bad thing.

- SuperSunny, on 12/01/2007, -3/+22I met Arun Gandhi 2 years ago. He is an amazing person.
- nullx42, on 12/01/2007, -1/+20This is the cancer that is killing /wiki/
- 68024, on 12/01/2007, -1/+19Oh look at #8, a CHILD has also clicked the link. Grow up.
- nullx42, on 12/01/2007, -2/+20God damn it! NEVER link to a wiki page on digg. thats asking for vandalism. Good job jack ass.
- maddyshashtri, on 12/01/2007, -7/+24I bet you can :-) but these are the blunders that Mahatma Gandhi himself gave to his grandson.
- captinherb, on 12/01/2007, -3/+17#9 Not using the reply button ;)
- whiteyMcBrown, on 12/01/2007, -0/+13Gandhi fought harder than anyone to keep India united. It was the British who split it up, before they left. He himself said that he was a Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and a Christian. These certainly don't sound like the actions of someone who was culturally dividing the country. This wasn't a quick thing. The British were in India for hundreds of years. There's no reason to believe that Britain would have given up her colony if the Indian people hadn't become resistant. They fought for their Suez canal in Egypt, even more recently. Many people forget that injustices (such as Indian men having to lie face-down in the presence officers) were still happening in the 1940s. The residual fighting between Muslims and Hindus on both sides of the border can't be blamed on the man who tried to get occupiers out of his country.
- FellOffACliff, on 12/01/2007, -2/+14Gandhi was the man.
- dtraneighty8, on 10/07/2008, -1/+13Hmmm... it appears somebody edited in an 8th Blunder....
- azharcs, on 12/01/2007, -1/+12He was against apartheid all along,He supported the cause of South Africa.
He also spoke against the apartheid and zionist regime in Israel which is well know for torture of innocent people.

He was a great man. - 68024, on 12/01/2007, -1/+10I think 'wealth without work' is more targeting the idea that one builds character and keeps in touch with 'the real world', even when one is wealthy- no matter how wealthy, lambo or not.
- UnterDenLinden, on 12/01/2007, -1/+10Wow, wealth without work, I can think of many people blundering big time. Paris Hilton call your office.
- Ransomowris, on 12/01/2007, -11/+20LOL. When I looked at this, an eighth had been added: "Masturbation without cumming" and for a half a second, I believed it.
Props to you, anonymous wikipedia editor. - johnmalc, on 12/01/2007, -9/+17You're a horrible person, Vervalsing. I hope you have the balls to tell that to his face while you're in hell with all the other non-Mormons.
- Urusai, on 12/01/2007, -0/+8The purpose of non-violence is to stop the cycle of violence, where violent acts justify violent acts, ad infinitum. Witness Israel/Palestine for a fine example of that. Sure, the purpose of non-violent protests is to cause the same changes that violence might cause, but it tries to avoid some of the unpleasant side effects.
- Sabretou, on 12/01/2007, -0/+8Gandhi was dying to keep India together, which he believed to be India's strength. Nehru and Jinnah wanted a separate Pakistan, which Gandhi opposed like hell.
- WhiteRaven, on 12/01/2007, -1/+8Is seeing a lack of character or morality or what have you in the acts of another just? Who is qualified to judge such things?
The answer is either "everyone equally" or "no one". I assure you that a lack of morality or character is a matter of opinion and varies greatly between the observer and the observed. - tolbs, on 12/01/2007, -2/+9I wonder if Gandhi prefers Diamonds or Pearls?
- DuffyDirect, on 12/01/2007, -2/+9I heard Arun speak at SUNY Geneseo. His descriptions of non-violence were coincidentally kind of passive-aggressive if you ask me, though...
But, yeah, interesting speech. Lots of dumb questions from idiot college students in the audience, though. "Was Gandhi nice?" - rz8472, on 12/01/2007, -0/+6Gandhi went on a one-person hunger strike to stop Pakistan and India from warring with one another. Get your facts straight.
- fuzzmeister, on 12/01/2007, -0/+6Nonviolence can be extremely aggressive, and it should be. Ghandi's movement for Indian independence certainly was. Removing violence from a conflict does not mean that the conflict itself is automatically removed.
- ZenMojo, on 12/01/2007, -4/+10Naturally, digg retaliates by calling Gandhi an idiot then shouting, "RON PAUL 2008!"
- Haecceity, on 12/01/2007, -2/+7The idea that Indians are anti-commerce or anti-entrepreneurship is simply laughable. Have you noticed how many stores are run by Indians? The long hours they work? Are you aware of India's burgeoning hi-tech industries? Their space program? The fact that they have second fastest growing major economy in the world, with a GDP growth rate of 9.4%? That the US economy growth rate is around 3.2%?
- Haecceity, on 12/01/2007, -1/+6The world is waiting!
- scottknick, on 12/01/2007, -2/+7Absolutely! And that's why we're borrowing so much money from them! http://globalpolitician.com/articledes.asp?ID=3688 ...
- TheDarkTrumpet, on 12/01/2007, -0/+5Encablossa, I mean no offense by this - but how come you have such a chip on your shoulder when related to someone who's different than you are. Is it out of the fact that you aren't as 'detached' from worldly possessions? Maybe it's something you know you would probably never be like. If it's truly out of hate, why is that?
Lots of people look up to Gandhi due to the things he's done, and the kind of person he is. This is why people look up to Mother Teresa, Jesus, and so on. I read a lot of your comments, and they seem like you simply have a hate for things that aren't 'you'. I don't know if you're Christian or not, but is it a religion thing - being happy with someone who's not Christian makes you less of a Christian?
I don't mean any offense, but it would be nice that instead of posting negative comment after negative comment, you posted one, then went onto the next story instead of looming over this trying to rain on everyone's parade. - aurorion, on 12/01/2007, -0/+4Ruined them? America "got rid" of the English about 250 years ago. India, 60 years ago. So, USA has had a near 200 year head start on India. Give India some time, and by the way, if Presidents like Bush are elected in USA again, India will be far better that the USA in a decade.
- RandomGorilla, on 12/01/2007, -1/+5Mahatma Ghandi pretty much nailed it there.
- rz8472, on 12/01/2007, -0/+4Well I have a real #9 - Religious Fundementalists who believe that Gandhi is going straight to hell. They're out there, in the tens of millions.
- donsnyc, on 12/01/2007, -2/+6Damn....I feel so small all of a sudden.
- danarama, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3Cybil Sheppard walked by me while she was shooting the Martha Stewart story. I also saw uncle jesse from full house eating ice cream.
- g8summit, on 12/01/2007, -3/+6My god, those are such amazingly written words in such amazingly simple form. There is no other man whom saw the world as purely as him, no other. These are words for man to live by. It's like he could compress the whole bible into a few sentences.
- tolbs, on 12/01/2007, -1/+4I don't know if Paris is the best example. As much as I hate her, she's got like so much going on, Music Career, Handbag/Clothing Lines, Her own Perfume, Public Appearances, she may be the epitome of why America is going down the drain, but she probably puts her 40 hours in. I'm not saying she deserves everything she has.....
- Pilot85, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3For the record, all of Gandhi's reamaining family has "wealth wihtout work".
and? - aurorion, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3I am sure you would know.
- Genjeta, on 12/01/2007, -1/+4Encablossa, you have posted a good number of moronic comments on this page. And I DO mean offense by this: you are an idiot.
- mephitix, on 12/01/2007, -1/+4Wow, I think the whole purpose of him writing that was just to get across simple messages to the world -- not have them be literally interpreted in a page-long essay. "But what means to be human? Is it our cells?" You're crazy dude, if you don't understand what he's saying by "Science without humanity" then you need to stop taking life so seriously.
- The_Dude, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3I don't see how your answer necessarily follows. You're just hinting at standard, moral relativism which is kinda played out.
- aurorion, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3Jinnah wanted a separate state, Nehru wanted independence at any cost, even if it meant as two separate states.
- TheDarkTrumpet, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3No, just that I think that the digg points are extremely useless when it comes to digging people's comments up and down due to the fact that someone may just not like the comment.
I, personally, don't care about digg points a whole lot - or I'd actually use them :) Unfortunately people feel just because someone disagrees with their comment that they must be dugg down.
*shrug* - abadonn, on 12/01/2007, -2/+5I really feel like a nerd when content get on the front page of digg that I have seen 50 times online before. Either digg is going down hill or I spend a little too much time online.
- fuzzmeister, on 12/01/2007, -1/+4What the....?
- inactive, on 12/01/2007, -3/+5"A head for an eye, saves world blindness" - Donkey
- meanswing, on 12/01/2007, -0/+2wasnt the forefathers of america considered terrorist by the british.
- aurorion, on 12/01/2007, -0/+2A hint of his "racism"? Do you even know what that word means?
- meanswing, on 12/01/2007, -0/+2yea that y Dubai, India just bought 4.9% of citibank for 7.5 billion $. stop following propaganda and read facts .
