No, I meant nearly every post in this entire topic. My first post said, "But when it was cancelled and then revived, that idea was canned," followed by references to Stewie's sexy parties. I mentioned the red light/green light fantasy, which was a new season episode. Duke said that lately they've been returning to Stewie's evil tendencies. If that's not bringing up the new season, I don't know what'll do it for you.

But look at what country it worked in. The U.S.A. Do you really King's methods would have worked in Nazi Germany? In the Middle East? Against Stalin? Against Bin Ladin? Sadam? I doubt it. Also, what ended Slavery in the U.S.? The American Civil War.


The way you talk about it, the US handled the Civil Rights Movement in a completely civil way that did not involve individuals bombing churches and committing grotesque acts of murder, only to have the local authorities, i.e. the police, whose job is to serve and protect the people, not do their jobs by never pressing charges, sometimes silently supporting acts or murder and barbarism, and sometimes actively attacking marches with high pressure water hoses and brutal arrests, sometimes for no reason at all. And that makes those police officers any better than Nazis or terrorists how? And remember that the Civil War was not fought for the express purpose of freeing the slaves. It was only done during the war to undermine the Confederacy's sovereignty. And afterwards, black people weren't much better off than they were before in many places.

Now, I'm not saying at all that certain important things aren't worth fighting for. I'm simply saying that, just because they are worth fighting for, running off to die and kill shouldn't be the obvious solution but rather the final one.

EDIT: And I hope, ric, that your above "I will" isn't serious.

I agree that our Hitler vs. 4 billion Gandhis matchup ended up being a little out of place in our serious violence thread. But just the idea of a machine-gun wielding Hitler vs. a non-army of Gandhis is just too funny an idea for me to pass up. So anybody who wants to continue this hypothetical scenario or fictitious matchups between other historical figures, feel free to bring it!

First, as for the whole Hitler vs Gandhi discussion, it is a silly and ridiculous scenario and has no porpouse on our current discussion. I hardly think that a raving lunatic Adolf Hitler, killing apathic Gandhis with a machine gun in such a bizarre hypotetical world has anything to do with our discussion. besides, after he travels all around the world killing people, and clone himself (as we all know, Hitler was a cloning scientist as well), and kill everyone, what was he going to do? Dance and laugh, shooting in the air?! Hitler did what he did because of other reasons. Stalin did what he did due to other reasons.


I have to quote this. It's the funniest thing I've read all day, and it was basically what I was trying to say in my last post, but you nailed it.

EDIT: However, it's become so silly and such a funny idea that I'm tempted to make a new thread for pitting together ridiculous combinations of world leaders to see who'd win in a direct fight.
