Day by day my faith in the long term survival of our species is slowly being whittled away. Stuff like this literally hurts my brain.

I'm so surprised that in a computer generation people are just dumber than ever with all the knowledge at their fingertips and yet people say things like this so common sense is not so common and ignorance is running rampant

Gandhi = goblin???? Reminds me of a person who couldn't recognize Russia on a map, or thought that the US was the biggest country in the world. Honestly, I wonder how they survive.

It must be his famous quotes. "Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever." "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." Tell me it doesn't sound so wise it could be the epic character turning point in Lord of the Rings or Narnia or Star Wars or something with goblins.

Instead... He was a non-fictional, racist, hypocritical goblin.

Who let his wife die to a curable disease because he didn't believe in medicine. He sure believed in medicine when HE caught a curable disease though...
