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.

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?

"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.

No, no... I know history well, dear. I was just wondering what you meant by "somewhat".
Umm, and you left out major information there so I'm not sure if you know this. Al Quaeda was founded by Osama Bin Laden, though before him, the organization evolved from Maktab al-Khadamat-a Russian resistance group. Then we'd have to talk about how Osama is connected to the CIA and all that jazz, but I don't feel like getting into it. Way off topic, ya know.

Why do we have to be silent. I can't stand the silence, I laugh it off... I don't know it just happens like that. I felt bad cause I was laughing during class time when there was this kid got hit by a car and died. We had a moment of silence, but I was laughing.. I couldn't stop laughing. I felt so bad, but it's so hard to keep my mouth shut. Don't say I'm mental. It just so funny cause my friends are making faces that makes me want to laugh so much. They do that just for fun and they know I laugh off easily. I didn't get in trouble... as soon I was laughing, my teacher was laughing too...then everyone started to laugh. It was so weird... but yeah. I felt bad again cause the other teachers blamed it on to my history teacher >.<;;

I think... you fell down some stairs and hurt you head. There, there, it's okay...
