Regardless of whether the war on iraq is right or wrong, its started so ppl should support our troops out there. Oh, and they should stop pulling stupid ass stunts like lying down in traffic and truanting to protest against war.
Im unashamedly right wing- my msn handle atm being 'if your happy and you know it, bomb iraq', but my view on George 'Dubya' Bush is summed up in the TV programme 2dtv. His laugh and the inflatable white house sketch cracks me up.

It's their right to protest if they want to so shut up. Just because they don't agree with you doesnt mean they should stop.

It is their right to protest. It isnt a right to be a public nuisance (sp). They are wasting many tax dollars in this protest that will only turn people against them. And who pays those tax dollars? Well, not them, because they dont have a job, so they can afford to go down and hold up a street on a wednesday at 10 am, and then spend the night there and spend all of thursday and friday blocking traffic. It is not a right to inconvinience others and burn tax dollars that they didnt even pay. I hope they all get shot up with bean bag guns and sent off to jail, stupid fucks

You respect people you smash windows, disrupt people on there way to work, curse at children, spit on passers, lay down in the streets blocking traffic, causing cash straped citys to spend millions of dollars controling the protesters most of which are acting like criminals.
Wouldnt it be more productive for these people to help out in hospitals, or schools, or nursing homes, or mentally disable comunities; all in the name of peace or anti-war (even though most are protesting bush and couldn't even name the country taht were at war with), wouldn't that get there message across better and actually make them look intelligent.

You have no idea what your talking about what the people in SF and other cities are doing is not progression its criminal.
Im not saying all the protesters are bad, just that part that forces themselves to get noticed, because they have no substance to back up ther views, so causing crimes is the only way people will pay attention to them.

The hundreds of police officers who have been keeping protesters in check for five days now are holding up well -- despite taunts, name-calling and marathon shifts, said Assistant Police Chief Alex Fagan Sr., who watched the crowd assemble at Justin Herman Plaza.
Fagan said he believed 99 percent of the protesters had been peaceful

i don't think anyone here is disputing their right to protest, and i'm sure 90% of the protesters are peaceful, but the other 10% are acting irresponsibly and infringing on the rights of the citizens in their communities. instead of marching in the streets, why don't they do some volunteer work, something to help out the community and that would encourage people to listen to them, rather than allienating the very people they are trying to convince.

Hey xnotedgex did you even take the trouble to read about what this thread was about? Its not about the peaceful protesters, its about those fucked up individuals who cause problems.
Also calling some one a racist just because he doesn't aggree with you fucked up views on the world is really pathetic and shows a real lack of intelligence.

your boys fighting and dying in iraq are fighting and dying so i can sit at home or on a street and protest their actions. if you want to stop the protests...youll be a hypocrite, fighting for american ideas of democracy, free speech, etc...while at home fighting those who are merely excercising those rights.
and yeah..it seriously detracts from ones arguement to call one a retard or something. just a comment. getting pissed off at someone for having a different opinion is just not cool...

were not talking about the peaceful protests were talking about the people (that may be to nice a term) who are in the streets chucking rocks, braking windows, spiting on people, and disrupting life. News flash for you the soliders aren't fighting so that these people can brake laws.
But i personally have no problems with the PEACEFUL protesters, those for and against the war, but i do think they could find more productive things to do then set on a street corner.

Hypocrite? If anybody is a hyporite its yourself. You are protesting the people who gave you the right to protest. Thats like hitting your dad on the head until he dies with the baseball bat he bought you for your birthday. How am I being a hypocrite? By supporting my troops and saying that what you are doing is unjust, explain the hypocracy to me.

Word to that. And if you want to start paying police salaries because they are out there stopping you from breaking windows, that would be great too. Hey saves, I love your sig.

As people have said, my initial post wasnt about the peaceful protests, but the people who are disrupting life. I have no problem with ppls right to protest peacefully, and to use their opinions on the war in a productive way- e.g. alot of high schools are having debates in class which is encouraging young ppl to think about the conflict. I am writing from a small coastal town in Wales, United Kingdom, where ppl are lying down in traffic and boycotting university lessons. All this has achieved is to piss off taxi drivers, and to disrupt my lessons. People may have a right to protest but not to disrupt my education.
