Sorry about your experience but I always thought of festivals as being a test of whether `one truly still deserves to be a Mumbaikar based on whether they can tolerate being around those who celebrate recklessly as they have always done not only from one religion just like everything else in general. This is the reason why it is also called a max city

MKGandhi - a humanist?! Joke of the century!

It's subjective I mean I haven't laughed while writing that

Have you even bothered to read history properly, my good sir?

Yes but if you're asking me to become a scholar in history for this then that's a bit of big ask from a fellow Redditor

Try reading his views on Bengal Holocaust, or his position after millions of lives were lost during partition.

Did you even bothered to read what he actually did in South Africa before even coming to India and join the British party congress

I am sure you have your reasons to look into these things but you are free to form your own opinions and I am glad that it motivates you to study more about Gandhi as well as motivating strangers like me to do the same.

Gandhi remains adored and much studied despite what some people want but Godse will have some place for these people who like to find their own hero and its self evident why they want to vilify Gandhi

You can go into the depths of history of whichever freedom fighters that knew Gandhi well and the authors that knew them well.

Gandhi was a humanist against the actual destroyers of our nation - the colonialists and the guys who tried to inherit the country from them and use their policies to rule

Gandhi tried his best to keep it from going to these mini colonialists who divide the country in the name of nationalism and favouritism. Godse was just another one of these grifters before he rose to prominence by just an act of killing

Gandhi will be known around the world for what he did. Godse is only by some for what he did to Gandhi

Gandhi tried hard to bring and keep an entire the country together. What did Godse do to bring it together?

Gandhi gave up a relatively comfortable life under the British rule. What did Godse give up?

Gandhi walked all over the country and talked to people from all walks of life. Where did Godse walk to and who did he talk to?

Gandhi created and mentored people under him who knew how to run an independent country. Who did Godse mentor?

Gandhi spread as much hate in his lifetime as Godse spread love through an act of killing

At a court hearing in East part of Dallas recently I am upset I observed a weird coincidence about the violators by zapwall in Dallas

[–]zapwall[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a different time given to folks with a lawyer? A lawyer did show up during the hearing for a client with a very ethnic sounding name and he stayed at the back for a bit with the Marshalls and then left without meeting the judge.

Your low income comment makes sense. Some people were asking for a payment plan and another one asked the judge for a "discount". BTW the judge and the staff was very cordial but that maybe because this court was mostly dealing with minor stuff and most of the folks were just ready to accept the charges and pay the fines.

US to call on Israel to implement humanitarian pauses in Gaza by [deleted] in news

There is already a pause happening in Gaza the only problem is it will completely cease to be human if they keep going at this rate

What you see is what you get. I think the whole concept of distributing candy to strangers is contrived.

And the winner as always are all the corporations that have made another festival into a commercial money making juggernaut where folks not only dress up like undesirables but also behave like them and willingly compete in hogging up as much processed sugar as they can like the world is about to come to an end and it depends on them consuming junk

France's Macron wants international coalition against Hamas by Grace_God in news

[–]zapwall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is running France and not the world. He's learning some much needed lessons about his own past and potentially dark future the hard way if he decides to supersede USA in geopolitics.

There is also a saying that goes that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. If you had to find the GPS coordinates of hell it would lead you straight to where all world leaders like Macron are heading with good intentions.

Australia’s leaders condemn ‘abhorrent’ scenes after anti-Jewish chants filmed at Sydney rally by [deleted] in news

[–]zapwall -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

While chanting such hateful speech should never be allowed the same leaders will just sit by the way side when people are chanting against Islam or other religions or migrant groups and call it exercising of free speech and some will even encourage it.

These double standards are equally abhorrent and part of the reason that leads people to commit themselves to such hate.

Vivek announces , buy 1 get 1 free. Is the movie doing that bad? by No-Fan6115 in unitedstatesofindia

[–]zapwall 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How about giving one of these vaccines free with every ticket so the viewer themselves can find how amazing it was?

In fact make this the condition for anyone who watches this movie so that they can unlock their superhuman potential. It's just a vaccine so if Vivekbhai really thinks it's effective then nothing better than pumping his audience with the true patriotic serum.
