JT, don't waste your time with Damon or DUMon as he is better known throughout the internet. He's famous for making wild accusations he can never back up.
Mahatma Gandhiexperimented with CONTROL of temptations. So he slept BESIDE attractive women ( NOT girls ) to see if he could keep his dermal joystick in control, rather than pitching tents.
Quite different from paedophile priests going Greek with altar boys.
Or this "GHANDI" character ramming cucumbers down Linda Lovelace's oral cavity.
a simple link to any documented article would suffice.
I argue against Torpid's methodolgy, that pattern of thinking is conducive to all his other arguments, so you can see why he is easily defeated, and often considered a logical moron.
Mohandas Gandhi's sleeping arrangements attracted public attention during the winter of 1946-47, when he was trying to quell violence between Muslims and Hindus in the Noakhali district in what is now Bangladesh. It came out that Gandhi was bunking nightly with his 19-year-old grandniece, Manu. In part this was an effort to stay warm in the winter chill, but Gandhi soon acknowledged there was more to it: he was testing his vow of brahmacharya,or total chastity in thought and deed. If he could spend the night in a woman's embrace without feeling sexual stirrings, it would demonstrate that he had conquered his carnal impulses and become "God's eunuch."It turned out that Manu was not his first brahmacharya lab partner--he'd also recently gotten naked (partly, at least) with another young woman in his extended family, starting when she was 18.
Unschooled as you are in the mysteries of the East, David, you scoff--and to be frank, there were quite a few raised eyebrows in India. One of the most vocal critics was Nirmal Kumar Bose, a university lecturer who served as Gandhi's interpreter in Noakhali. While conceding that no hanky-panky had taken place (Gandhi and his entourage typically all slept in the same room)Bose protested that the master was exploiting the women, each of whom felt she had a special place in his affections and became "hysterical" if slighted. (Here I follow the account by author Ved Mehta in his 1976 New Yorkerseries on Gandhi and his followers.) Gandhi, far from being abashed, vigorously defended himself in meetings, letters, and articles, arguing that making a woman "the instrument of my lust" would be far more exploitative than what he actually did.
Remarkably, the critics eventually quieted down. Even Bose, who quit in protest and later discussed the issue in a book, My Days With Gandhi, remained an admirer.
Now go figure how that compares with a Catholic priest spilling his seeds into the lower end of an altar boy's alimentary canal, simply because he can't masturbate, and it would be a biblical sin to fornicate with a woman.

You're the sick freak obsessed with perverted Catholic Priests. I didn't bring that subject up. You did.
Jethro ignores when he can't find answers...that he calls it honor....hehehehe! Jethro and THX were probably altar boys chased by a big beastly catholic priest every day.
I have asked this question to so many Christians and interestingly they all responded like you did. Not one had any clue and not one showed any interest in exploring this, for fear that they may find something that may shake their fantasy world. Anyway, Jethro, find some courage to answer that question of mine.Â
Why do believers become so hostile when asked to clarify something, it is not like we are trying to convert them? The people of the book should show compassion and love to nonbelievers and explain everything so that they become believers. American believers usually chase nonbelievers away if they ask questions. What a pity!
Excellent post.
If only you could explain to us ignoramus folks who these "Ghandi" and "Khrishna" characters are.
Are they the co-stars in the skin-flicks Pulp Friction and Deep Throat ?
From what I've read, Ghandi was a pedophile.
you can back that up, can't you?
Don't believe me. I'm just a dumbass illogical Christian.

that's not really backing it up, I would prefer a specific link from a credible source.
exactly
let's see some links
I'll find it when I get time.
Jethro not ignoring them. He comes over insults them and leaves. I am ignoring them in the sense I am not reading their posts.
That's not igonoring them. Ignoring someone has some honor. What the hell do youknow about honor? Nothing.
That's what I figured too.
Wonder whether he is a catholic priest !
Who did he take the dirt road with ? you ?
fold cited: "Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged",
but of course he takes the phrase out of context. It doesn't mean not to judge at all becuase society would not be able to operate.
Nice retort there, Mr. Spock.
Man, jethro you're funny.
[Edited by on Nov 10, 2004 at 07:48am.]
Many, jethro you're funny.
I always edit, jethro.
sure you will
I thought it was common knowledge that Ghandi believed sleeping with young girls somehow cleansed his soul?
I'd do it now, but I don't really want to be searching for such things from here at work.
Surely such a logical genius such as yourself can understand that?

Like what, Torpid?
I'm not the one who made the accusation that Ghandi was a pedophile
You are indeed famous for quite possibly being the dumbest person on the internet.
explain to us all how a low temperature in Bumblefuck, MN, disproves any global warming theories
Global warming is just a theory. Backed by bias.
Prove to me otherwise, Damon.
[Edited by on Nov 10, 2004 at 08:02am.]
That would be Mahatma Gandhi.
Who's this pedophile GHANDI ? Some relative of REGOON ? :)
Oh No, the spell check police are out!

I never said it existed, I said Torpid's attempts to debunk GWT through local weather forecasts is absolutely moronic
learn the game
HEH! DUMon in another meltdown. Always entertaining.
JT, do you think that paying $300.00 a month for 27 years for a substandard education makes good financial sense?
what meltdown? apparently, it is you who cannot understand what anyone is saying.
are you sure you don't want to phrase your question as good economical sense? lmao

No one was confused, except for you maybe.

Not women, girls.

Then why argue?

Obviously, you are less than informed on the matter, and with vulgar impulses clouding your brains and judgement.
You are urged to read "The Story of My Experiments with Truth", an autobiography of the great Mahatma Gandhi.
The women involved were his 19 year old grandniece and the 18 year old newly married wife of a relative of his.
In any case, you can get the straightdope response to an ignorant rant like yours :

Thanks for playing. :)

Oh, that's much better.
I stand corrected.
it's not pedophilia, is it?

I'm not taking the word of an autobiography.
you haven't provided any evidence to the contrary, nor your own point of view.
you made the accusation, the burden of proof is yours.
I already explained to you I'd look it up later.
In any case, I believe the man was a freak.
[Edited by on Nov 10, 2004 at 11:30am.]
Nobody asked you to.
What PERVERTS like you would term "victims" , and ACTUAL "witnesses" , have testified in his favour.
And even CRITICS of his time - who were aghast at his "freakish" experiment -Â remained his admirerfor the truthfulness and conviction.
He NEVER hid what he did.
It was his experiment on SELF-CONTROL, and mastering over his carnal lust.
And he defended it truthfully in his autobiography, and in person.
That he was.
He was no "ordinary" man, getting lap dances, and wanting to get under the pants of every chick.
There is a lot to learn from him, and not just "non-violent non-cooperation".
THX believes in fairy tales that tell us that Abel and caine found some brides growing on a mango tree
