I haven't read this whole thread.  I just wanted to say the anti-war protesters in the 60's and 70's actually stopped the Viet Nam War.  They actually turned public sentiment against the war.  I do not approve, in any way, shape or form, of them spitting on our troops and calling them baby killers.  I which our home coming troops would have stomped their asses into the ground right then and there.

 

However, these people do have the right to protest, and sometimes being a public nucience (sp?) is the only way to get real attention.  They shouldn't endanger anybody.  Those men and women are over there fighting today, and as they do so, they are defending our way of life, which includes the right to peacably assemble and the freedom of speech. 

 

I don't want those rights taken from me, and I won't deny any US citizen the same rights.  I may not agree with what they are saying, but I thank God they have those rights.

amen yas...............apu im anxiously awaiting to see what the power of prayer does in this situation......pray on...........

Congradulations Apu. You and your "peace makers " f***ed up many peoples day and we hit Iraq even harder today. Keep it up. You're just pissing people off an accomplishing nothing.

Bush is an ass in the international community. That's more than enough for me. Monday I am going to my Representative's office with impeachment documents written by Law Professor Francis Boyle.

i disagree with you on the war and i will respect the way you are doing it. i hate bush and his father. at least you haven't said that we deserved the 9/11 unlike another poster on this board.

 

but if you need info on the bush family crime, then look up the history of the 1 nat'l bank of cicero with bush, and the anderson acct firm. yes the enron acct firm. in addition look up the ties that fiztgerald(sp) i think that is his name the congress man from chi and his financial ties with the cia, 1 nat'l bank of cicero, household bank and the bush family.

Who said we deserved 9/11? Everyone deserves to know who it was, whoever said that is sick. Thousands of people died on 9/11, no one ever deserves something so terrible to happen to them. I am disgusted that such a person would be a Sox fan and an American. This is disgrace!

I just loved watching the giant bus trying to do a U turn and getting stuck for a 1/2 hr. and they had to have a tow truck move it, haha.  Another kickass part was there was 2 pro-murder of Saddam guys out screaming at the top of their lungs about.  We (about 400 of us or so) gathered around them and started singing "Give Peace a Chance".  We were all like arm in arm singing and the guys just gave up screaming cuz nobody could hear them over our singing, guitars, and bongos.

sounds like you guys are a bunch of f**gots

sounds like you guys are a bunch of f**gots

Sounds like you're a biggot and an idiot.

you guys are saying give peace a chance, well that can never happen with suddan in power of iraqi, it seems like you guys are over looking the fact that he kills his on civilions, athletes in the olympics that dont win. or use weapons of mass destruction on his own people. How can you say we should just sit back and watch inocent people die?????

 

Give peace a chance sounds like you guys only care about what happens to you. We tryed the none violent way by telling him to leave he didnt so now we are forcing him to leave.

 

 

How is that wrong idk???? you tell me why we shouldnt help people in need???

cause people love reaction instead of proaction

great we can just sit on our asses for 5-10 more years while he kills more and more people, grows stronger and stronger with his military. so he can attack other countrys.

 

 

Great idea protesters keep up the good work

I guess it bears repeating that use of words like "gay" or "f*****" to describe something that one dislikes or hates is highyl offensive to a lot of people, including those who post here who are gay, and trust me, we have posters who are gay. Not that it is anyone's business. But no one should be bashed like that. Those are derogatory terms and I humbly again request people to not use words that are homophobic. The language is so much richer - but even if the vocabulary escapes one, just use words like "f***ed up" as it "sounds like you guys are f***ed up." It will say what you want to say and not be defaming towards people. Please. Please.

and you are not defaming people by calling them littlesaddam?

 

i fail to see the difference

what happen to my freedom of speech and f***** does not always mean you like other men it basicly means f*** you.

I'm sure you don't.

Now who in the world threatened your free speech?

 

I asked you kindly and esxplained why the usage of certain terms are very offensive and derogatory. If you don't get that, you are not the person that I thought you were.

and you are not defaming people by calling them littlesaddam?

 

i fail to see the difference

I'm sure you don't.

you have no problem being condescending but you never really explain yourself when i point out your hypocrisy.

i will use the word f***** all i want, but please dont take offense to it because i dont mean it to offend gay's infact its perfectly fine if you are gay, just dont tell me about your storys.

 

pls dont use the word peace it really offends me and if u use you are not the person i thought u where

Why couldn't the Bush regime prove the case to the international community then?

 

Lied in UN reports

Plagiarized info from 1991 and tried to make it look like it was current

Did their best attempts to railroad the UN inspectors

Lied about Iraqi links to Al Qaeda

 

They have done every possible thing imaginable to get us into this war. In the Nuremburg Tribunals, the Nazis claimed that their empire was going to face "possible invasion" so that is how they justified their invasions of Poland, etc. That was deemed a "crime against peace", the worst crime to be committed because it entailed crimes against humanity and war crimes.

PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKES ARE ILLEGAL!

 

We didn't think Saddam was so evil when we sold him the weapons he used to gas the Kurds! We didn't think he was so evil when we knew he was a maniac and we armed him anyway!

Arming psychopaths and these short term orgies of feel good violence are only paving the way for more members of Al Qaeda and more terrorists.

 

FIGHTING FOR PEACE IS LIKE f***ING FOR VIRGINITY.

and you are not defaming people by calling them littlesaddam?

 

i fail to see the difference

I'm sure you don't.

you have no problem being condescending but you never really explain yourself when i point out your hypocrisy.

I forget you are 16.

 

A person is born certain ways. White, female, gay, Asian, straight, whatever, and that is just the way they are because the DNA says so. Words that demean someone because of the way there were born is offensive.

 

A person can choose from any of a number of philosophies. For someone who is against dissent, who would use government force to silence, deport, or otherwise threaten citizens who disagree with the government, that person is a Saddamite.

sounds like you guys are a bunch of f**gots

If anyone, I would think you'd be with me on the Impeach Bush/Cheney/Ashcroft/Rumsfeld campaign...especially after the start of Operation Pipe Dreams which is SEVERELY cracking down on even minor drug offenses.

 

But then again, why use facts when you can just call me a "f*****"? How very intellectual.

i will use the word f***** all i want, but please dont take offense to it because i dont mean it to offend gay's infact its perfectly fine if you are gay, just dont tell me about your storys.

 

pls dont use the word peace it really offends me and if u use you are not the person i thought u where

I will use the word f***** a lot too, for you. Why not bring that tube of KY over here and I will show you how it is used, my little piece friend.

First of all I am not 16.

 

Second of all, where is this gay DNA gene. I am not disputing the possibility that people are born that way but that is a fuzzy explanation. Why has this gay DNA gene not been charted? It's like saying people are naturally violent; it's possible, but there is no proof.

 

And thirdly, just because you don't agree with people blocking traffic to protest the war, doesn't mean you are against dissent.

 

Offensive is in the eye of the beholder, calling someone Little Saddam is offensive to me, and if you expect someone to not say f***** because it offends you, then you should be prepared to amend your own language.

 

Your argument is weak.

9/11 was the result of incredibly piss poor foreign policy. The mentality of the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" led us to training, furnishing and arming many of the future Al Qaeda members when they were fighting against the Soviets.

 

We armed Saddam with weapons because we had provided the Shah of Iran with a s***load of weapons...but he was overthrown in a coup. So we armed Saddam and used him to get Iran to use up their weapons.

 

This whole thing of shortsightedness comes back to bite us in the ass all the goddamn time, yet we continue to do it anyway.

 

I don't think we deserved it but it was pretty much a given that some sort of attack was coming because of our failure in foreign diplomacy. We pissed a lot of people off.

 

Why won't the government realize that the homeland will be secure when we aren't f***ing people over (i.e. having American companies etc. allowing labor leaders to be killed like they do in Colombia at Coca-Cola, having Nike sweatshops, etc.)

If you are not the person who said dissenters should be shipped off to Cuba, then I owe you an apology and got you confused with another poster. And if that is the case, I apologise to you and redirect my words towards that person.

 

If you are the person who said that, it stands.

 

The DNA is being charted now. The literature on what makes a person what a person is is still being developed.

sounds like you guys are a bunch of f**gots

Once more filled body bags start getting shipped in, you too can be a peace activist.

i didnt say they should be shipped off to cuba.

cracking down hahahahaha my friend just got caught with 5 pounds and guess what all he got was 2 months house arrest
