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.
Yes they do. In many ancient cultures, and even in cultures present today, bowing and dignity are often found together. I shouldn’t have to explain these things to you.
Martin Luther
Reject by his so called Christian brothers.
Gandhi
In the beginning, had some very racist views, and did little to help India which is why the people in the country are still subjected to caste systems, regardless of what idiots may say.
Martin Luther King Jr
KIA (I’d say Jackson was involve.) Where are African Americans now?
Socrates
The father of plagiarism who most likely never presented an original thought of his own, but instead, most likely lifted it from other peoples/cultures around him.
Mother Teresa
Experienced the Dark Night of the Soul, helped all she could, yet little boys are being molested by depraved priests.
Thomas Jefferson
TPTB.
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.
You fail at sarcasm.
Logical Fallacies
Not applicable.
MONEY IS WORTHLESS simple coin and paper, and people fight over it. Alot of people in the world are blind to truth, justice and respect for all.
It doesnt matter what nation you are from or what reilgion you are in, we are all the same, one day it wont matter what planet you are from either.
We share a common existance, and sooner or later people have to realize this or at least some of us have to.

If you think of your wealth as "coin and paper" you are slaves to the system.
Wealth is ownership of real stuff. I have 1/3 of my wealth in Brazil another third in China and the rest in American hard resources.
Get your retirement accounts out of Wall Street's pretend money and into real value.
What do you invest in resources ??.. Here I am just thinking about dinner..
Within the Asian cultures that bow to one another, the bowing is a mutual gesture since both people bow to one another out of respect. You know, similar to our handshake. The context in which you are asking for us to bow is one of a slave bowing to his master, in which case there is no dignity in such an act. The only reason why someone would bow to the TPTB is out of fear, and there is no dignity in living in fear.
That is irrelevant to my point, which is contrary to yours. We can change the world, people like MLK Jr have changed the world.
No, what people like Gandhi prove is that violence, bigotry, hatred and intolerance are choices that we make. No one forces you to. Even if you are staring down the barrel of a gun, you still have the choice to say no.
America.
Where did you get that info from? If he was the father of plagiarism that would be interesting. Although the debate still rages over whether or not he was in fact a real person.
Choice.
You know, if you would actually read the Anti Federalist Papers you would find out that that is not true. Thomas Jefferson, likewise Ben Franklin and Andrew Jackson fought TPTB.
My girlfriend laughed, so I guess that is a matter of perception.
Quite applicable, the fallacy being you are basically stating that human beings do not have a choice in regards to their behavior.
You do not take into account the power that spreading information can have, it is tremendous.not only can you help to show another person a new perspective, but with some information, you can also empower them. seeing as how you would rather bow down to your masters:
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
1. Denial – "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me." Denial is usually only a temporary defense for the individual. This feeling is generally replaced with heightened awareness of situations and individuals that will be left behind after death.
2. Anger – "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; "Who is to blame?" Once in the second stage, the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue. Because of anger, the person is very difficult to care for due to misplaced feelings of rage and envy. Any individual that symbolizes life or energy is subject to projected resentment and jealousy.
3. Bargaining – "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything for a few more years."; "I will give my life savings if..." The third stage involves the hope that the individual can somehow postpone or delay death. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made with a higher power in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. Psychologically, the individual is saying, "I understand I will die, but if I could just have more time..."
4. Depression – "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die... What's the point?"; "I miss my loved one, why go on?" During the fourth stage, the dying person begins to understand the certainty of death. Because of this, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time crying and grieving. This process allows the dying person to disconnect oneself from things of love and affection. It is not recommended to attempt to cheer up an individual who is in this stage. It is an important time for grieving that must be processed.
5. Acceptance – "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it." This final stage comes with peace and understanding of the death that is approaching. Generally, the person in the fifth stage will want to be left alone. Additionally, feelings and physical pain may be non-existent. This stage has also been described as the end of the dying struggle.
