Anti-war march in London SATURDAY

Just to let everyone know:
another mass protest has been arranged for THIS SATURDAY
22nd March.

We really are on the brink of war, so it's vital that as
many people as possible make the effort to come to London.

why don't all you hippies go out and volunteer at a soup
kitchen instead of blocking the roads and making yourselves
feel just.

hell, if every idiot out waving a peace sign donated a
dollar to a homesless shelter or world rights group instead
of marching like nazis, they might actually do some good
instead of wasting everyones time and taxpayer dollars
making sure they don't riot.

sorry.

when the last big uk march happened, the 'stop the war'
coalition made a speech encouraging a national strike if
iraq is invaded, and for people to flood whitehall, to
compromise govt activities. it wouldnt stop the war, that's
for sure..but it would cause problems for the govt and send
out a message worldwide that the people of the uk don't
approve of the govt's actions. i think this weekend won't
be quite as peaceful as the last march, somehow.
i have to say, even though the march runs with the pretext
of stopping the war, it doesn't take a vast amount of
political knowledge to know that stopping the war is not
the only objective of the demonstration.
even if you weren't alive during the vietnam war, you sure
as hell know about it. you may even know that some people
were opposed to it.
to silence these voices purely because you think you know
their objectives and you don't think they will attain them
is unreasonable.
i was gonna say fascism but that would be lazy.

WEED IS PEACE

a few episodes of some good funny anime, a good bong for
saddam and his crones, mugabe, bush, all north-koreans..
must not forget munchies. aww we'd have a blast!

protesting may not stop the war but without the millions of
people who protested governments and other members of the
public may get the false impression that everyone is in
support of war. If you disagree speak out, this is what
democracy is for isn't it?

BlatantEcho reckons if every "idiot" protester donates a
dollar they might actually do some good, well the billions
America plans to spend on this war are probablly more than
enough to eliminate world hunger.

I don't want my government eliminating world hunger, I want
it's people to do that.

You won't let your government go to war, but you'll let it
do everything else.

sure salma, THAT'S the way the world works.

your government's money is your people's money and i see
those billions serving a much better and more
terrorist-eliminating agenda if it was used to wipe out
world hunger/ health issues etc...

I think you missed the point.

Instead of waving a flag, why not wave a spatualla in a soup
kitchen.

If the idea is a peace rally, why not make a difference
instead of wasting time and tax payer dollars?

If those people did something besides march and complain,
then maybe I would have the slightest respect for them.

I bust my hump at a soup kitchen on my friday nights, why
can't they?

it makes a difference to speak out with your views instead
of being silent and accepting things as they are...

and who are you to tell me and others which path I should
embark on inorder to make a difference? I can protest if I
wish and I don't want to be called an ignorant hippie
because I'm not

you have the right to make a choice, but I am still
implicate that it's a ridiculous one.

I mean, you have the right to stay at home and masturbate,
or go out and get a job. One of those isn't quite
acceptable, but you have the RIGHT to do it.

You have the RIGHT to protest, I like that. However, it's
obviously idiotic to do so in the name of world peace and
such, when you could be out making a difference in your
community, ie, practicing what you waste your time
preaching.

"obviously idiotic" to you maybe, i stand by my statement
that speaking out with your views does in fact make a
difference, different view points must be heard publicly or
only one side gets to make its opinion widely known

I think people who say protesting doesn't make a difference
have clouded vision. In the UK the war and opposition to it
are tearing the Labour Party apart and it is a matter of
time before Blair has to step down. We've already had one
minister resigning and are about to have another.

These are people who supported the bombing of Serbia and
Afghanistan, and previously Iraq. but now they feel the
groundswell of opposition from below and have to act on it.

Those who say protest does no good need to learn their
history.

Protests are the evidence of a cracks in the till now
effective propaganda machines, the media bubbles most of
Americans are wrapped in are just not stretching beyond
certain points of concentration..

the all important good guy John Wayne, John Rambo battling
on the side of the angels iconography to justify the wars
just doesnt gel this time around...

nobody but mainstream America is in any doubt that the
coalition is out to commit a genocide on an innocent
populace...

Yep. That'd be good. I'd rather they sorted that out than
Iraq.

Jonesy: I doubt Blair'll step down- you have to have some
sort of integrity to do that...
