swphreak Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I have no problems with the protests. One of the greatest things about America is the Freedom of Speech and that stuff.... but I saw in the news that a protest in some city turned violent when protestors started grabbing people from their cars and beating them with sticks for supporting the war... how the people got dragged out of their car beats me.. I would have ran over the people and claimed self defense..... anywho, there is such a thing as too far. I just hope the police was rough on them.

legameboy Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 yeah, i like the fact that the're protesting, just they start to abuse their rights when they protest beating people with sticks and stuff, they could start their own war;), yes and freedom of speech is a wonderful thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 "Everyone has the right to be stupid. Some abuse the privilage." Anyway, I'm all for freedom of speech, opinion, expression and so on and so forth but when people take it to far, they bug me. "Promote peace, beat people that don't" Yeah, that's the way to go. Anyway, that's sort of getting off the war so I'll say that the recording of the Iraqi man talking to the female protester pretty much sums it up. "How does leaving Saddam in power promote peace?"

Grimstar Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I support the war to get rid of a sick bastard that tortures his won people.. I don't support the war to "supposedly" dimantle them, because in my opinion they show NO threat against the US. And there is no link between Saddam and Osama, but unfornately 70% (from CNN) of Americans believe the Al Qaida-Iraq link. It's too late now though, and you can only hope that the war is quick and has minimal casualties, on both sides. And 100% of the oil should all go to help Iraq, no country should even get an ounce of "black gold" for free. I don't like the way people accuse anti-war protesters as traitors and all that junk, they are speaking there mind and should be allowed to do so. Just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 getting rid of saddam will HELP Iraq, and Grimstar is right because all the oil should go to Iraq for them to use, i think we're doing a "food for oil" thing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 This far, even Basra (a city well-known for its hatred of Saddam) hasn't put down their weapons, people are hurrying INTO Iraq to defend their homeland instead of fleeing it, and noone greets american soldiers with flowers, they defend it with rifles. American "precision bombing" hits Turkey and Iran, hundreds of miles away from their targets. They also hit refugee busses, "by mistake". Patriot missiles seems to like hitting brittish airplanes more than they like to thwart Iraqi missiles. Most american 'experts' are now talking about a war that can take months, not days as promised. So, your premise for the war is false. Bush lied to you gain. Admit it. The people doesn't want you there. You're stuck in hell, your "picnick war" has now forced you to plan to send an additional 150 000 soldiers to the front. Congratulations. In the words of The Hives: "Hate to say I told you so". Oh, and my idol John Cleese had this to say about the ridiculous Bush rhetorics of 'the axis of evils', he's the king! (John Cleese, that is, not G W Bush) Axis of Evil Wannabees by John Cleese Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil", Libya, China and Syria today announced that they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil", which they said would be more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address. Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are just as evil . . . in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils . . . best at being evil . . . we're the best." Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. "An axis can't have more than three countries", explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So, you can only have three, and a secret handshake. Ours is wickedly cool." International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what has become a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan and Serbia announced that they had formed the "Axis of Somewhat Evil", forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the "Axis of Occasionally Evil", while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really as Just Generally Disagreeable". With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the "Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics". Canada, Mexico and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About America", while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the "Axis of Countries That Want Sheep to Wear Lipstick". "That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do", said Scottish executive First Minister Jack McConnell. While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axis, although he rejected the establishment of the "Axis of Countries Whose Names End in 'Guay", accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges. Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.

GreenJediGrinch Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I like your Liberal propoganda. It shows just how low some people will stoop to try and make the US look bad......even if they have to down right lie. And as far as the article....it was a good laugh.
