| Kinda corney... but someone sent this to me so I thought I would share.... Mahatma Gandhe, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him: A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.!!

| No offense, since I know you didn't make it up, but I think it's RUDE. He was an amazing man and one of the true peacemakers of all time. I just think there's a few people who have done enough for mankind to deserve just a little respect. Sorry to be a wet blanket and I don't get offended by a lot of funny jokes, but this isn't one of them that I can keep my mouth shut about. And just to afford him what little respect might be due him, his name is Mahatma Ghandi.

If I had no sense of humor, I should long ago have committed suicide. I have become literally sick of the adoration of the unthinking multitude. I would feel certain of my ground if I was spat upon by them. Then there would be no need for confession of Himalayan and other miscalculations, no retracing, no re-arranging. Do not seek to protect me. The Most High is always there to protect us all. You may be sure that when my time is up, no one, not even the most renowned in the world, can stand between Him and me. It is not that I do not get angry. I do not give vent to anger. I cultivate the quality of patience as angerlessness, and, generally speaking, I succeed. But I only control my anger when it comes. How I find it possible to control it would be a useless question, for it is a habit that everyone must cultivate and must succeed in forming by constant practice. The above are all Ghandi quotes. I do not think he needs your protection. He wouldn't have been angry over the 'joke' I do not think and as he says...if he didn't have a sense of humor, he should long ago have committed suicide. I believe you have made too much of this for I do not believe that an insult was intended. | |

You are right that Ghandi had a fantastic sense of humor but I wonder how Christians would feel if a similar joke were made about Mother Theresa? I doubt there would be tons of lols around here. I don't think having sensitivity toward other beliefs is asking too much. I know Mandee didn't mean any offense by it but once it is pointed out, your response is of, 'take a joke', is really uncalled for.

| I'm sorry, I truly did not mean to make fun of anyone. I can honestly say that I do not know anything about Ghandi...and I really don't know 100% why this "joke" was found to be so funny...which is why I named this thread "corny" I guess I thought the joke could have been made about anyone....I didn't realize there was any significance to it being about Ghandi. so I'm sorry if I offended. I was really being silly and stupid and posting something that was sent in an email not realizing the meaning behind it. live and learn, right??

| awww...thanks I hate to think that I have stepped on someone's toes when it comes to religious things or whatever because I am a FIRM believer of "to each his own" and I didn't realize that this post would have offended anyone! I'm so naive sometimes!!!

| Well....the first thing I need to do here is to apologise. I should also say that I believe Ghandi to have been a very wise man. And....I really didn't think the 'joke' was funny....I just didn't think Mandee meant any disrespect. Responding to this post was a mistake. To eat my own words "I don't think Mandee needs my protection either"..... So please know that I regret having gotten into this. It was early in the morning and I should have been in bed long before I posted. Please forgive me. Sammi Last edited by sammiz; 04-10-2008 at 10:22 AM. |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I like this thread...because it shows that we can be civil to each other even when we disagree.

That's ok, we all say things at times that we wish we didn't. No hard feelings. It takes a good person to apologize and the same to Mandee which I meant to point out earlier .
