    Well, I'm different from most people. In fact the ability able to tell apart flac from mp3 is my superpower, and I can do it while blind-folded, with stoppered ears, blocked-nose and with a plugged arsehole.

    As a matter of fact, India left the British empire without war. Look up Ghandi>/quote> India was able to break free from the clutches of the British empire largely because Britain after WWII was too exhausted and depleted to maintain control over a country the size of India. Sustained rebellions and freedom movements within that country forced Brtitain's hand, as well. There was no plebescite held in India, and had Britain not been involved in total war, it is highly doubtful they would have let go of India, although evolving global politics over the next few decades might eventually have brought about an Indian independence. Also, it wasn't just Gandhi's non-violent movement, but also actions of Indian revolutionaries. which precipitated Britain's exit.
