Tolerance.org?? WTF kind of PC rag is that crap? Ghandi and his kin weren't exactly the peace loving folk that legend has them pegged as. For instance, Indira Ghandi was responsible for India's first nuclear test in 1974. How's that for peaceful.

IIRC, Indira Ghandi was no relation... she was Nehru's daughter.

Funny how the "tolerance" freaks are among the most intolerant of all, isn't it?

[demosthenes the elder]

actually, MK Gandhi's philosophy of satyagraha does not really mean "non-violence" or "pure pacifism" the way most of his PR boys have mistranslated and misrepresented it. It means more along the lines of "the adamant willingness to endure great hardships/personal suffering in order to do what is right". It is a matter of sticking to your principles no matter the cost, of not dodging consequences of your actions, of bearing what must be borne.
Something Christians and Conservatives and all other people of character can understand and admire... and know that the right thing to do is not always the peaceful or passive thing to do.
Basically, it means guts and riteousness.

As to the whiners demanding some kind of abject apology from Maxim: Oh, do grow up, idolators. He was not some porcelain god in need of constant protection, I am sure Gandhi could take a joke at his own expense.

Tolerance.org?? WTF kind of PC rag is that crap?

Tolerance.org is a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a fund-raising factory headed by Morris Dees, a lawyer whose civil suits against Ku Klux Klan groups and several Neo-Nazis groups garnered punitive awards that caused them to go into bankruptcy.

Currently featured on Tolerance.org: "Reports" about "SARS-related paranoia" causing discrimination against Asians "fifty years after racism and hysteria led to Japanese internment," and "SkinTalks," silk-screened plastic bandages with "pro-tolerance" slogans.

I kid you not. Get a load of this.
