not one damn dime day, silent protest Options

[banddorko]

here's the deal: on january 20th (president bush's inauguration), there is going to be a nationwide silent protest against the war in iraq. to participate all you have to do is not spend any money at all on that day- that's it.

for more information, go here.

one of my friends told me about this and i thought it was very cool. if you support this please tell everyone you know and try to get them to participate. put a link in your profile. start a chain email. make a topic on another forum. tell your friends. i obviously am going to be participating (and wearing my homemade "impeach bush" t-shirt ). i hope some of you will participate too.


if you don't think this is a good idea or don't agree with it, please don't post it here. i really don't want this to be a debate, i just wanted to inform you guys of it. thanks.

funky buddha, if you dont give a shit about this protest then why the hell are you even posting in this gosh damn thread? don't you read? this thread was only made to inform, not for you to complain about it.

plus I dont want to listen to you saying that our comments are stupid if you cant be mature enough

well maybe if you don't want to listen to us saying that your comments are stupid, STOP COMING TO THIS THREAD!

what's really sad is that you won't stop arguing about it. that's very mature.

It's a FORUM, the creator of this thread comes here to spread news, and people from this thread can react to the news.

Hmmm, you know, the law that allows you all to do this silent prostest is the same one that allows people to show their dislike of the silent protest. You kids ever thought of that?

... is it that exclusive? If it is, then what is the point of spreading the news?

And it's very mature of you to not allow people to express their opinion.





Obviously, I disagree with this idea only because if enough people participate, it will hurt us more than help us with anything.

i understand that, but i asked people not to post negative comments because i knew a bunch little arguments would start up... which is exactly what happened. but i guess i shouldn't have even tried to stop them, because if someone really wants to express their opinion, they're going to do it.

I'm sorry but the FIRST negative comment came from you.

By saying that people who will disagree with you shouldn't post is negative. PERIOD. In society, you cannot stop someone from expressing their opinion just like how people can't stop you from spreading your dislike of Bush by wearing your "impeach Bush" shirt. You see, what goes around, comes around.

Yes, you cannot stop people from expressing their opinion or else you jepardize the right to express yours.
