Im sick of hearing about Martin Luther King.

They've been talking about him since I was in third grade. I don't know why. Is it because he was a masochist who preached loving your enemies so people will become weak and politically correct? I'm sorry I'm just sick of hearing about this guy. Why don't they talk about some other ethnic folk hero like the Native American war chief Crazy Horse who's Sioux army killed and mutilated 300 white soldiers who invaded their land. Compare that spectacle to the I Have A Dream speech see which one the kids find more interesting.

One time, I said Martin Luther King and someone said "No, Martin Luther King Jr not Martin Luther King."

I wonder who this Martin Luther King guy was.

To answer your question, I think a great hero is thought of as a person who does not compromise by being violent. Gandhi was well known for his non violent movement to settle with the British.

Civil Rights Movement not Uncivil Rights Movement

"To answer your question, I think a great hero is thought of as a person who does not compromise by being violent. Gandhi was well known for his non violent movement to settle with the British."

I couldn't agree more. That's my idea of a hero.

"Civil Rights Movement not Uncivil Rights Movement"

If only it could be Civil........

Now that I look back at what I had typed, I notice the "a person who does not compromise by being violent."

For some reason, it does not make sense to me.

I think what I meant to say was "a person who compromises without being violent."

If he does not compromise by being violent, he is still would not compromise being nonviolent. He needs to be able to compromise and do it in a civil way.

Right. That makes more sense but I understood what you meant.

My goodness. I'm so agreeable today! lol!

My first thought was to ask you just how long it's been since you have been out of the the third grade. You would think I was being sarcastic though, wouldn't you?

This post tells me that you are 2/3 for agreeing........

Ain't THAT the truth? At least MLK accomplished something positive.
