This just shows you that all peace protestors are idiots.

This just shows that everyone with a lion avatar is a moron. About the same reasoning.

Flavio your just another anti-war testicle, go flip over a car with your so called "peace" groups.

So I'm assuming you don't agree with those particular four protestors right? Then you think that you can generalize ALL protestors from those hand-picked four. Same as I was saying before.
I guess sampling/extrapolating are foreign terms to you?

That's exactly what he's gettin at...quit sampling/extrapolating a few onto everyone else.
So, then polls are useless, eh?

If you look back through this thread you'll find other instances of what I posted. And it will continued in the future. I have yet to see one shred of any kind of credible evidence that one protest is doing any kind of constructive good.

And, passing leaflets out to people involved in the protest don't really matter. Those leaflets should be going to the media, congresspeople, senators, etc. Otherwise, it's merely preaching to the choir.

Polls take a sampling of 1000 or more and also do it randomly. Sampling 3 or 4 or even 20-30 and expecting some kind of consensus will have a hella large margin of error.

Leaflets go where leaflets go, don't know why you brought that up. Some go to other protestors, some to passersby, and some fall on the ground. Often many organizations will send out pertinent info to the press or organize write-ins to politicians.

But that's not happening.

Passersby? Many of these protests are keeping anyone who's not involved in the protest from getting anywhere and have to detour around!

But, still, what leaflets? I haven't seen any in any of the news coverage. All I see/hear is a lot of hot air and rhetoric. Waste of time, imo.

I checked out the protesting in San Fran after work. I pretty much had to walk past them to get on the train.

They are doing good work. There is plenty of literature if you care to read in depth what they have to say. They seem to be getting the message out to the government. I took a bunch of great pictures.

great work alrite:

No one really wants war, but....

Many of us will encounter "Peace Activists" who will try and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who terrorized us on September 11, 2001, and those who support terror. These activists may be alone or in a gathering... most of us don't know how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:

1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a conversation if necessary, ask questions, and look very interested in their ideas. They will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people who did this to us, we will only bring on more violence. They will probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to humanitarian.

2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in the nose.

3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry and they may try to hit you, so be careful.

4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell them if they are really committed to a nonviolent approach to undeserved attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell them they must lead by example if they really believe what they are saying.

5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are correct.

6. As soon as they do that, knock the fvck out of them.

Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making.

There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting victim or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is unacceptable and must be dealt with. Perhaps at a very high cost.

We owe our military a huge debt for what they are about to do for us, our children, and the world. We must support them and our leaders at times like these. We have no choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep getting hit in the nose.

And that's the bottom line, because the U.S.A. said so.

Lesson over, class dismissed...


Should I be able to classify all pro-war people as violent morons just because LedZeppelin has proved that he is one? He's not even aware that Hussein isn't part of Al Queada.

Hey idiot, what part of Many of us will encounter "Peace Activists" who will try and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who terrorized us on September 11, 2001, and those who support terror. don't you understand? Hussein may not be a part of Al Queada, but he sure as sh!t supports terror, mainly against his own people. What a douchebag you are. Take your weak retorts and go hug a fvcking tree in Iraq.

This is all I have to say to you morons who feel the need to protest this war. Whether you are for military action, or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation. Even if you are anti-war, you are still an "Infidel" and Bin Laden wants you dead, too. Saddam and Bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before they try to kill us.

That article is straight propaganda. I wonder if this is the same Kenneth Joseph. Funny, he doesn't seem so young to me. Or perhaps it just some other pastor named Kenneth Joseph in the Assyrian Church of the East?

UPI is as much progranda as Reuters and the AP are.

hmmm, and the author, Arnaud de Borchgrave, just happens to be a "speaker" for the "Public Relations, Media and International Speakers Bureau" firmBenador Associates. Look at the other "associates" and you'll get a feeling for their agenda.
Of course this story can't be verified either way, but it seems to be awfully suspicious.

I suspect if the story said the opposite of what it did, you'd not say a word.

Don't these dodo's (<---Nicest word i could find) get that nothing they do is going to matter? They will not have any influence on whether or not we leave. I mean just give up already.
