Why do you go to Protests & Demontrations?

..

 

hahaha that picture is great.

 

ahh lowtax, the dude who cannot answer anything in other threads. the troll who is here because he has too much anger, where is the love man?

anyway to answer your question, i protest only if i believe strongly in what i am there for, and only if i feel it the last resort. unfortuantely that is too often of late, and it doesn't seem to make the impact we want. but hey its great to be with like minded people, who feel passionate about something and know they have the power to change things.
peacex

 

i go to protests to help make known my opinion and the opinion of others there, whether it will really make a difference or not, its certainly no harm.

although i do hang out with my friends at protests and if there were a save the whales protest, i'd probly go.

 

Its too bad that our civil libretarians seem un-concerned about marajuana prosecution. I could be arrested, jailed and my house confiscated but the headlines are all about Tookie Williams and Jose Padilla.

Our Press pundits get themselves all worked up about Abu Gareb and Guantanmo; but for those arrested for pot, nothing. I could puke when i see all the attention given to these causes but then I realise that its just a game of gotcha against bush and has nothing to do with human rights or freedoms.

If the democrats succeed in turning over the goverment, it will just put a new face on the same old oppressive regime. These are the guys who gave us Waco, Ruby Ridge and Eliam Gonzalez. Our opposition politicians do not seek to make internal change in our oppresive, over-funded regime, just to put a new face on it. I listened very hard to Senator Kerry during the presidential campagain, he said nothing about ending the war on hippies.

So as far as Whales and dams and baby seals and fur and the environment, all of the protesters can just go and fuck themselves because, if and when I'm busted I will receive no sympathy at all from " the opposition"

 

Anyone with a lot of friends in a largly populated area is more than capable to organize a protest. I can't because my friends don't give a fuck about politics. But anyone that feels the urge to scream for change, go out and do it. Find out about any local protests in your area and go. And if anyone knows of any protests in philadelphia let me know. I'll go if I believe in the cause. There are many important issues that need to be addressed. I don't even smoke pot and the fact it is illegal but alcohol isn't disgusts me. If I didn't have a record I'd seriously run for office. If it weren't for protesting a lot of things would be different today. Society would either be destroyed or be like the way it was in the early 1900s.

 

i totally share you opinion.

protests are pretty redicioulous.

the only thing that i can support them for is showing more likeminded people that there are other people who feel the same and to others, showing that there's a different opinion out there that is craving to be known and make things change.

however, making that change happen is far more complicated than a protest, nomatter how loud and rowdy.




i mean, yea, like a bunch of corporate minded guys in suits are going to take a bunch of pot-head hippies and drum-banging bald chicks - who may or may not have decided to try to communicate with them by dressing their kids in butterfly costumes and have them dance in circles - serously.

>.< thanks, now i'm all pissed and full of rants.

or maybe fuck trying to change their system and make it change to you.

 

I go to protests and rallies because if you don't stand up for something you believe in, and just go along with unecessary, unfair [marijuana] laws, then you might as well give up the 1st Amendment. It is our duty to protest the justification of morality.

 

totally man, when i was in highschool, i wrote the 1st amendment on a little upside down american flag that i used as a patch. lol yea, might sound kinda cheezy, but i was in early highschool.

i do think it would make a nice butt patch though...

 

far out man, i just wear a bunch of NORML patches and tshirts and stuff like that, and wear my bloodshot eyes like badges lol

 

Hello fake Lowtax. The real Lowtax wouldn't post images with crappy macros on other forums. Go back to being a somethingawful.com wannabe.

Voted for 'Because I support the cause I am protesting about.'

 

I think the reason for protesting should be because you actuaally believe what your protesting for, not to say that you cant just go, but at least be there to make some kind of significant change.
