What exactly did Ghandi change? Why are the people of India still limited to caste systems?

All sarcasm and wit aside... do you enjoy birds singing, a sunset, the smell of BBq cooking, maybe a nice ice cold Coke in the little green bottles? How about bacon on a cheeseburger... or some good Wagner or Aaron Copeland to wake to. Ever seen a giant herd of 3000 buffaloe? What do you live for, EMPIRE?
All of those things are experiences. However, there is nothing unique about them. You’ve listened to the cry of the crow, or the call of Hawks and? They’re all saying the same thing. You drink coke? You can have pepsi, rc or some off brand cola, it’s still cola. The sunset? Doesn’t matter if I see it when I’m in the bay area, or when I’m out of state, it’s still the same sun. Music? Only seven notes in a scale. You’re simply repeating the notes in whatever order the key and scale say you should. Buffalo? One thousand or three thousand, they are a sight to behold, but the experience is still the same.
But you forgot one thing ...there is no hope in this world for sure but there is still a hope in the afterlife with our creator (to who are spirits came from)... through his Son Jesus Christ who is the HEIR to that Kingdom ...
No matter where you are when the sun sets, it's the same sun... that's pretty sad, man. You have no magic in your life... I feel for ya'.
Coke vs Pepsi... not the same...both are good, but not the same. Like Ms.Weary's chocolate pie vs. Mrs. Gill's chocolate pie... both are good, but not the same.
"Well gee AlreadyGone, your so simplistic..you're missing the point."
REALLY? Happiness and joy is where you find it...contentment is where you place it. Peace and love and hope and faith...I don't see any in your life. Damn sad too.
You ever watch Ol'Yellar..the Disney classic...or The Brian Piccalo Story? Ever cry at the end? Maybe get a lump in your throat when a little baby grabs your finger, or you see a little child say the Pledge of Allegiance... or see a Farmall 140...all like new go by...with an American Flag flying in the breeze...
or a field full of corn ready for harvest in the warm summer sun? How about a cup of coffee, steaming hot with a new sunrise... the way the peach clouds contrasts against a turquoise blue sky? Or maybe some little new born piglets, all lined up suckling on their mom?
EMPIRE, I hope you find a smile somewhere.
In closing BOW to TPTB and accept your fate with dignity.
Accept the fact that you will never change anything and that depravity is the norm.
Accept the fact that money/resources, not love, faith, humility, righteousness or peace is what makes the world spin.
. Accept the fact that the earth is divided over everything under the Sun
It will be united under one banner is when THEY unite the planet under their banner. Oops! They already have!

I haven’t lost my smile, I’m simply smiling at different things.
You seem to have an odd concept of what dignity is. I do not think that the words bow and dignity belong in the same sentence together.
Martin Luther
Gandhi
Martin Luther King Jr
Socrates
Mother Teresa
Thomas Jefferson
Benjamin Franklin
Malcolm X
Andrew Jackson
I just have to point out that, it is the bending of the fabric of space, that causes the spinning of the Earth on its axis. You would think that this would be common knowledge in the 21st century.
Einstein would be ashamed of you.
The Earth is actually a whole body in space that we call planets. The Earth is not really divided on any issue. In fact, I do not think that the Earth votes either Republican nor Democrat. Planets do not care. On the other hand, humans may be divided, but that could be from a lack of education.
Logical Fallacies
