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 happy.gif). 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.

how can you say you kind of like bush?!?! do you know whats in your signature?!?!? hel-the-f**k-lo BUSH IS OBVIOUSLY AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE, if you're all for it then you probably wouldnt be supporting bush...

Maybe she "kind of like bush" for everything else except for his stance on gay marriages?

do you guys not understand that Al Qaeda was somewhat created by the united states?


huh.gif "somewhat"? Like, one thing lead to another and we indirectly caused it... that kind of "somewhat"?

It all started during the cold war. We were going to war with the russian people and the russians challenged afghanistan (sp?). Well we brought all our weapons over to fight with the Afghanie people. Then once we beat the russians, we left all our weapons over there which in the end was what the terrorists used to start Al Qaeda, so really, Bush is just fixing some other guy's mistakes.
