..commemorating the great Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary(2nd October 1869).His morals and principles have been the themes for many books,movies etc. and have inspired such notable personalities as Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King etc.i don't think there's any need for me to elaborate on their successes..anw, i was wondering how R&S can get extremely heated up, or in other words,"violent" at times, and what better way to mark this occassion than to practise his teachings?i know that for many of us, it can be quite exhaustive to keep those insults back, not to provoke our "enemies",but can't we do so at least for 24 hours?we'll all refrain from offending other people (which includes preaching your religion where not necessary, and giving irrelevant answers), give less thumbs down(hey, it does make some people angry) and do whatever you think will promote peace.let's keep in mind the terrorist attacks, the wars and sectarial violences, and unite to put a stop to thm.wht do u think?

Well I'm an idealist and even I don't think it's possible to calm down R&S in honor of this day, but that doesn't mean we can't put forth our best individual efforts. Thanks for the thoughts!

If I'm on here tomorrow, consider me counted in. Good Idea - but I'm with Rachel - there are just some folks on here that this will be impossible for.

Sounds great to me. But I fear all that will do is make the crazies think they can justify their violence the other 364 days of the year.

Does that mean we have to stop worshiping hyperviolent gods?
