I normally like to think like you do, but my experience with anti-war people so far convinces me further to believe that maybe many ARE idiots.

Dude, you're a smart guy - less than 70% of the population (of America) is as educated as we are. Of course the majority of them are idiots.

That's what you say every time the protestors pull something stupid. Aren't you getting tired of saying it?

Somehow, I doubt it. His point rings true every time he says it. It's akin to saying "All black people are lawbreakers because I saw a string of black people pulled over by cops on my way home yesterday", it doesn't have any statistical validity to it.

as always, idiots reside on both sides of the arguments, sane people also reside on each side, so please pay more attention to them.

It's hard to when the anti-war idiots are so brazen and boisterous and the media seems to only portray them.

I saw on Fox News this morning a "massive" die-in in NYC that was snarling traffic. Well it was probably about 40 idiots and they were only taking up maybe two lanes. Where's that bulldozer when your really need it.

Kind of like them getting into a fight with pro war protesters. :p

This is may be one of those concepts that either you understand or you do not understand. But I will try to explain it with examples:

This woman once told me that Arabs were liars. She based her generalization on the two Arabs, actually they were Persians, that her room mate was dating at the time. Now are you willing to conclude that all "Arabs" are liars based on her experience?

A couple of white NYC cops, in the cop station, dragged an African man into a bathroom and sodomized him with the broken off end of a broom stick. Now are you willing to say all cops are sadistic racist thugs?

A couple of white guys in Texas chained a black man to the back of their pickup truck and drug him to his death. Are you willing to say that all white people are murdering racists?

A couple of black men shot a number of people, apparently at random. Are you willing to say all black people are insane murderers?

Okay, you saw a picture of two jerks holdind up a sign encouraging soldiers to shot each other. Are you willing to say all people who are against the war agree with this?

I can't.

wow, suddenly the words of a few freaks symbolize the whole anti-war movement.

if that's the case, these web sites symbolize the whole pro-war movement.

If this war goes on for months, there will be more of these protests and they will be larger. Get use to it.

Wow, a lecture on over generalization. When I see the anti-war protestors give good alternatives then I will consider what they are doing worthwhile. When I don't see them comparing Bush to Hitler, saying it's all about the oil, and the war is only so Cheney can give Haliburton a contract to rebuild Iraq then I might not be over generalizing.

I have not seen the alternative and I have seen the stupid conspiracy theories over flowing these pages.

Show me the intelligent protestors with an intelligent argument and we'll have something to discuss.

Yea, I always thought the best way for people to protest the war was to advocate killing of people.... talk about hyprocrisy. Even more reason for me to believe that the majority of the people protesting don't know wtf they are talking about and lack almost all of the relavent facts.

There was a group of protesters on campus the other day who were against the war because they didn't want thousands more U.S. soliders to die.

Good lord, talk about "straw man argument". The people who represent one idiot as 'all the peace protesters' are complete morons (which, sadly, is most of the posters in this thread)

Thanks for insulting everybody in here, despite our differences in opinion. Oh, and by the way, you should read the rules of this forum, unless you want permament vacation.
