Non violent, never passive: remembering Gandhi : Comments

By Lyn Bender, published 2/10/2013

We can stand by and choose to do nothing or be part of this tradition of resistance against injustice and its violence.

Plaudits for the author for being able to cram so many leftie ideals into one article without ever stopping to consider for a single millisecond whether or not she was speaking complete and utter nonsense.

The author has amnesia for the fact that people like her opened the floodgates for asylum seekers and lined the pockets of people smugglers while killing hundreds in the process. But as the Left are always correct and morally superior, this cannot be mentioned. Nor can we mention that the carbon tax and loopy alternative energy schemes have pushed poor people into greater poverty. Yes,and of course, the Nazis get a mention. You just can't make a point without mentioning the Nazis. Not sure where it fits in with climate change, but hey, that probably just me.

Again, congrats on the effort. It takes extraordinary mental discipline to never stop and think about the logic of your statements and consequences of your beliefs.

Dear Lyn,

The third commandment is "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain".

While you may sincerely believe in how you desire the world to be, issues that are well discussed on other OLO boards, here you have taken Gandhi's name (and Anna Frank's too) in vain like a kid who says:

"Gandhi! Give me ice-cream",
"Gandhi! Buy me a bicycle",
"Gandhi! Let me watch television after midnight".

(Oops, my mistake, that is the fourth commandment, not the third)

Why oh why is it that these silly people, who have been off to university, & taken a course in the modern mysticism called psychology, think it gives them some understanding of things practical.

We continually get this garbage from Lyn, in which she assumes she has some understanding of things scientific.

Lady for god sake, stop referring to authority & expecting grown adults to follow your little girl understanding of the world. Some have put a damn sight more effort into understanding the science than you have, & do not need a psychologist to tell us how not to put 2 & 2 together.

Lyn its fair to say you could spend the reat of your carrer sorting through the troubled existance many of the commenters here clearly have. So full of hate and venom, little trolls.

All we have to have now is runner to post something about non violentace cuases a break down in marriage and we would have had all the usal foaming mouth right wings posters done for this post and one to the next. when Alan Jones falls off the perch who will they get their facts from I wonder?
