As painful as it is for me to say it, I must agree with The AmanuensisOfGod. You can't expect to change the world by playing psychedelic music and throwing flowers around, it just doesn't work. You want a change? Then change something. Don't just sit around saying "Wow, isn't John Lennon, like, the coolest?" or "Wouldn't the 60's have been awesome to have lived in?" because you're kidding yourself. It's 2007, not 1967. Get it through your head. Those days aren't coming back. I'm all for changing the world, and I don't believe violence is the way, but that doesn't mean I'm going to live my life with rose-colored glasses on and think of how beautiful the world is, and "I love everybody!" because it isn't and I don't. There are people who are close-minded, ignorant pricks who hate everyone who isn't the same as them. And you, too are ignorant to think that the 60's way is the right way. I respect you 100% because of your wanting for peace, but until you get your heads out of the 60's and start getting some good ideas and plans to bring peace to the world, I'm not supporting you, I'm sorry.
Well, from reading this, I believe the best way to actually spread the message would be to get educated. Learn about things and the way they are, current events and past events, knowledge is power. The more intelligent we are, the more chances we have of people listening (and while they are listening, we can give flowers, hugs, and peace bracelets, etc... ) because people are more likely to take note and follow suit if we actually KNOW what we're about.
we all need to infiltrate all military headquarters, overcome and take it down, steal all space flight material, and fly into space and become extra terrestrials somewhere else, bring evidence back then, and ONLY THEN people will realize, there is life elswhere in the universe and therefore they will change in mind, garunteed the government has secrets. and the military is there back up. kill to be killed then kill back to live.
Im tired of all the 17 and 18 year old kids saying woodstock was only a concert, not a revolution... im not saying it was a revolution, but none of us will ever know that, because we were not there! leavethe jugdement of wheiter it was revolution to the people who fucking went. as for the rest of your post, death tolls now adays are in the public news, and they do show military funerals on TV.
Wait my brothers. I can't tell you /exactly/ the direct reason the revolution is going to come about, but it is. Roll with the changes.
Its my opinion buddy, and the reason I dont think woodstock was a revolution is simply this, our goverment did not change significantly, the world did not change significantly, only minds changed(and not enough) .. Age and maturity are two different things so the age of the poster shouldnt be considered in their message, it should be THE MESSAGE which people fail to ackknowledge, cause we all know a 13year old cant say something wise and a 30 year old cant be a stupid fuck. (rolls eyes) This post isnt about bringing a revolution anymore, (although very entertaining) its pretty much three people on each side "debating" against each other. I suggest if you want to start a revolution, go out and start one instead of complaining on the interweb that you will start one. Hell, most of the people supporting you in the beginning are starting to switch over.. If people cant stick to their guns (metaphorically) how do you expect a revolution to come about when the opposition begins to tear you apart. ps- If your leader in your plan for revolution and peace is going to be woodstockchild be prepared to hit rock bottem, fast.
Ouch, a personal attack with no actually thought process or important information about anything. You must certainly live up to yours, child. (Yes I know I am only a year older, but I am a youth not a child, there is a difference) Like I said, stick to your guns. Rolling with the changes is what got America fucked up back then and is why it is still fucked up now. Please come up with a strong arguement Woodstockchild and followers, I (and prolly Amanuensis) would like to continue this "debate".
Well, you've invaded my thread with nothing but insults and you've but a damper on everything and everybody. You're a downer. This is supposed to be a positive thread. Can you please go start your own thread? Hey, I'm asking nicely. You called yourself Unmotivated, not me. Well, motivate yourself to get out of my thread.
your crushing all my dreams!!!:bigcry: your right. WoodstockChild, in order to get even close to this would be to just live open minded and tolerant. play your music as your music, write songs as an artist. dont yell at people telling them to change there ways, it hasnt worked so well in the past. to make change set an example. just be yourselves and others will follow. if your music gets popular enough then you will have all the crowd followers following you, awaiting your next command. then you can preach to them. most people see a street evangelist a complete nut. but if they go to the preist awaitng his move the preist can then speak to them. and maybe, jst maybe, the preist will have a convert. if not the person will go on to find something else (another religion). live in peace, and rock hard. edit:sorry for the double post, i forgot about that previous woodstock comment.
With the "society" we have cultivated, revolution can only be found at the end of a gun. Anything else would be pointless massacre founded upon naievity.
I read in an old book that revolution is perhaps the single greatest emotional high that a person can experience. I think secretely, even the so-called conservative right is dying for a revolution to happen in this country.
Well I guess those are the people who dont benefit from a revolution. Maybe I'm naive but I think its possible in this day and age, that revolution can be possible through other means.
Well I was actually just thinking of that event back in the 80s known as the Reagan Revolution. Sure it didn't fundamentally change society, but those who were behind it truely felt they were creating positive change and because of that people belonging to the right during that decade probably felt extra empowerment in their lives. Certainly conservative business men benefited during that decade. Yeah its been talked about a thousand times before, and was by no means a true revolution but it just goes to show you that great and substantial change can be a very positive force for those involved. In a sense I guess that was the right's version of the 60s. I don't believe revolutionary change has to come from the the use of guns etc.
This thread has been trashed by haters who can't mind they're own fucking business. I'm sorry, but it's really upsetting. I'm asking you nicely, please make your own.
if you don't want people to comment on your topic perhaps you should create your own forum moderated solely by you, then you can censor as you see fit, in the mean time we will keep exercising what little free speech we have left.
do you really want it to be only people who agree with you? if it was, this thread would have burnt out a long time ago. debates are interesting, fun, and enlightening. you see where people are standing. everyone isnt going to agree with you woodstock. learn it besides, your the one doing most of the trashing. you and lennon. we dont throw personal insults. we say our opinions
