It has nothing at all to do with "outrage that Indians weren’t conscripted into the British military". The act Gandhi was complaining about was the Indian Arms Act of 1878, which pretty much disarmed the whole country. The statement was originally made in one of the pamphlets Gandhi wrote to encourage Indians to join the British Army during World War I. You need a fact checker. Or maybe you should try reading the original sources before you quote them. Funny, I just finished reading Gandhi’s autobiography where the quotation you cite above appears.

This protester is conveying two messages. The first, written, was intended. The second, by deciding he knows how to spell without bothering to check his facts, he shows his willingness to reach opinion without due consideration. The second discredits the first. Sadly, this whole protest became a huge embarrassment because of the double-entendre of "tea-bagging." “Dissent” and “Patriotism” - If you’re going to take the time to dress up in colonial garb, carrying a sign proclaiming your most profound thought, it might be a good idea to check a dictionary first.

There are no qualifications or standards." That's bullshit and you know it. Then again lying is what you do. In fact, the NRA lists those requirements right on their website, if you'd taken the time to do even basic research. You'd rather lie than look up and report the facts. http://www.nrahq.org/education/training/instructor.asp “There really is no such thing as a “certified instructor.” It is a term created by the NRA; anybody can become a certified instructor.

I do not mean to cheapen your loss but please o back and read the history leading up to WWII. Gun crime, in fact, all violent crime has risen steadily since the gun ban in the UK.

His house was ambushed. His wife was shot while holding her baby in the doorway of his house. I am glad the NRA supported him. Koresh and his bunch were killed as side effect of a government publicity stunt. He was guilty as all get out. But the government was guilty too of the massacre of the innocents that followed. The football player took a loaded gun into a bar (where people get drunk) and should have been fined not thrown in jail for 3 years. The gun laws in ny are counter productive and stupid (and untill Obama makes appointments, probably unconstitutional). But the guy would have been arrested in Phoenix even with a permit to carry concealed because of the fact that he carried his firearm into a bar. Randy Weaver was entrapped by the government.

I not defending Kim at all. I'm calling you a yellow bellied lying cowardly sack of excrement. The fact that you are attacking a person behind his back is the basis for that statement, not a defense of that person. I find it typical of your behavior and want to make sure that anyone reading your blog understand just how despicable your actions are. You don't have the courage or integrity to try to attack someone on their own blog. You want to hide in your dark corner of the world much like the cockroach you are. Jadegold,

I label that simply cowardice. I'm not defending Kim at all, I'm commenting on the fact you are a gutless worm. You talk big here where there is little likelihood of Kim responding but are much of a coward to do it on his site where he can be sure to read what you say. Jadegold,
