GO! Smell the 7 blunders of the world…

July 12th, 2007 by Jim & Em

While the 7 wonders of the world are still under debate as a new list is prepared. We stumbled across 7 BLUNDERS of the world, attributed to Mahatma Gandhi on line article in ‘Edupage’ an online newsletter in 1998. Here they are:

1) Wealth without work

2) Pleasure without conscience

3) Knowledge without character

4) Commerce without morality

5) Science without humanity

6) Worship without sacrifice

7) Politics without principle

Do you agree with any of these? Would Homer as he evolved? Comments please,

bo Says:

Doh,wealth without work…YES PLEASE!

 
fab Says:

That is crazy - why work if you can get wealth with your feet up? I’m with Bo!

 
friend Says:

Gandhi was so full of wisdom. If you’d like to read some commentary on Gandhi’s Seven Deadly Social Sins, check out Gitananda: Gandhi’s Seven Social Sins

 
dubaidave Says:

Not convinced - right place, right time. Was Gandhi REALLY all that?

 
bo Says:

Gandhi reminds me of that scottish cloakroom attendant,Mahat Mcoat.

Missed out the 8th blunder - words without truth

 
O'DB Says:

Gotta hand it to ol’ MG, he’s got it gwaanin’

… especially blunder #6 worship without scarifice — not a chance of some run-of-the-mill satanism without deflowering (ever run a thread on virginity? s’ok, i’ll chuck that bone in for free) the local virgins before offering them up for Beelzebub spare parts ….

 
admin Says:

Bo / Fab/ Angry - Fair enough.
Friend - Thanks for the link on the social sins.
O’DB - long time and great to have you as part of our group hug.

Windmills in New York?

Watch out with the use of the term ‘de-flowering’ - it hurts you know.

Anyway, about that free bone….

 
lemmyfrommotorhead Says:

Come on - social sins (posted by friend) what about my 7:

1)Not getting a round of ale in
2)Saying - better out than in
3) Pull my finger
4) Age before beauty,
5) Give it 20 minutes
6) Answering your mobile phone only to tell someone your on the other line and last but not least
7) The last one - not sure - any ideas from anyone else? Bo, Angry etc….

 
bo Says:

Lemmy,slot this in between 2 and 3…ooops,trod on a frog.

 
Norski Says:

Taken in isolation, I’d agree with the “7 Blunders of the World.”

Even the “wealth without work” - although I could daydream of suddenly having more money than Bill Gates the king of Saudi Arabia combined.

Think of the taxes, though.

 
AngryFromEllesmerePort Says:

Lemmy
Wiping it on the duvet!!!!

 
lemmyfrommotorhead Says:

Or the curtain, Angry!

Taxes in Saudi, maybe Dubai dave will help if he’s about - no taxes in Saudi Norski…

 
gareth in China Says:

OOOOOOOOW, Arrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh, oh my god, baby I think I’ve got cramp in my calf, must have moved suddenly. Can you knead my calf, or at least a bit of massage, please honey, I’m in agony, no - I’m not kidding its really hurting.
Ha ha, under the sheets, sheets wrapped tightly so she can’t move, a quick silent but deadly and then hold her and the sheets. Why do they keep falling for it?

 
gareth in China Says:

More of an anti social blunder that one but, come on, still funny no matter how old you are.

 
lemmyfrommotorhead Says:

Ok I missed that one from my list.

Blame the dog, far easier.

 
fab Says:

Why are you guys so gross with your bodily functions?

 
Gary Says:

7 blunders of the world

1) Taking advice off a four-eyed skinhead walking round potless in a bedsheet.

2) Letting dwarves exist

3) Not distracting guide dogs at traffic lights

4) Not putting clothes pegs on cats ears at every opportunity

5) Giving to charity

6) Believing ugly people are beautiful underneath- they aren’t they are ugly for a good reason

7) Helping people who ask for directions- opportunities missed to put someone on a bad path.

 
Gary Says:

Lemmy

how can you blame the dog when here head is unde the cover.

I missed an ‘eight one’

8) Not showing the ‘missus’ who is boss. If she doesn’t ‘walk into a cupboard’ or ‘trip in the kitchen’ at least once a month she will startplaying away.

 
dubaidave Says:

Bad man, whatever would Gandhi say?

 
Gary Says:

He would have just come up with a trite expression meant for oppressed indians which half a century later would be misinterpreted by middle class white people to get some meaning in their lives.

Bottom line is take his glasses off him ghandi was ‘f’ all.

gareth in China Says:

FAB,
They are natural functions, why are women so repressed with them?
When a baby unashamedly craps themselves in public people only say ‘oh, has baby done a big job?’
Yet when a man lets rip with an awesome bit of farting everyone yells out in derision?

Yet again one law for the little people and another for the rest of us, over to you Gary.

 
Gary Says:

Thanks Gaz

and for a bird to have a pop about us talking about bodily functions is a bit rich.

How many times have we heard ‘I can’t its my time’.

Or

The old chestnut

‘Can you not carry the shopping up the stairs the contractions are getting closer’

Or

‘Its only a bit of blood it will wash off’

Women?

As for dwarves. A little known fact. Dwarves don’t defecate. Ever. They blow their noses and the waste comes out that way. All fact. Thats why you never see dwarf sections in toilets.
